The first five characters likely spell CHRIS (ᚳᚺᚱᛁᛋ).

As others have said the accent marks make no sense for any rune alphabets that are easily accessible.
So likely using some random runes to write a different language.
Bunch of letters make no sense in relation to futhark futhorc etc.

And the 3 vertical dots is also probably a vertical ellipses which is also not a rune thing.

I believe the ^ over the CHRIS, the smiley face, and the poo poo underneath are just decorative. If you ignore that stuff, you get:

CHRISMLS??
MILS?? : FIDLES

The last five characters of the first line are apparently repeated on the second line, but with an additional "i". This could indicate that they hosed up the first attempt, and that it's 'supposed to' read:

CHRIS MILS??
MILS?? : FIDLES

The ?? parts are the characters that resemble an x and a backwards dollar sign, which have yet to be identified.

Current hypothesis: you got a white supremacist named Chris haunting the terlet, and he's got pretty bad writing.

Possible ambiguities:

The F (ᚠ) could be an O (ᚩ) - or even a very poorly-written A (ᚪ). I wouldn't put anything past this guy, since the C at the beginning was so badly mangled.

CHRISMLS??
MILS?? : OIDLES

The writing is also lovely enough that the second M (ᛗ) could be a D (ᛞ). But that's unlikely, given the repetition of the first line (where it's clearly an M).


E:

Shot in the dark here, but it could be the name "CHRIS MILSON" (ᛗᛁᛚᛋᛟᚾ), if he failed to write the "ON" correctly. The characters he does use are vaguely similar. That still wouldn't explain the "FIDLES", though.
