What is this post-it about?
1IRK DuFrense knows how she likes her coffee and she knows how she likes her investigations.
A splash of cream. A spoon of sugar. Three dashes of danger.
Except there’s something in the sugar dish, and it ain’t just sugar. It isn’t danger, either, which is equally disappointing.
“Mel --> release valve, Dublin?”
What do you amateur sleuths make of this?

It must be Irish Creamer, not the milk kind
@DanielTheNerd This feels very internationally specific and almost certainly relevant. Hmm.
What color was the post it? This matters.
@BergyD Close your eyes. Imagine a post-it. Your heart knows what color it is.
The release valve on the mop was faulty because it was made by the Irish in Dublin, who bad stereotypes dictate are all drunk so probably don’t make good release valves.
He was killed by his own mop when the release valve failed to open and the mop exploded and all the things he was stabbed with (that got sucked up by the mop) flew out and hit him.
@OnionSoup This is the kind of ridiculously specific confidence we need around here.
I can’t leave because I’m being made a pizza… or I’m being made into a pizza?
I’m not crazy, I’m just looking at this thread’s thumbnail

99 luftballon, (an 80’s Ballard) had it’s English version written by someone from… Dublin.Mel is “melody”. The melody was released in Dublin is what the note means… Which 80’s hits must mean 99 Luftballon. Problem is that’s only two numbers.
But This can’t be a coincidence.
@OnionSoup Oh yes I remember the song well (both original German and English/Dublin? version). The song about beautiful red balloons is actually a song about the tendency to quickly jump into war. From an internet source:
This is exactly what Nena describes in “99 Luftballons” — known in English as “99 Red Balloons.” The song imagines a situation where (99 red) balloons show up on both countries’ radars as unidentified objects and both sides scramble planes and go on full alert to counteract a perceived nuclear attack.
So that doesn’t match the clue of “It isn’t danger, either, which is equally disappointing.” – because both sides scrambling planes sounds pretty dangerous to me. Though it seems to be happening daily now. And there are more than two sides. Disturbing.
