Title: Bathroom Graffiti...
Post by: BanzaiCat on October 16, 2013, 06:36:42 PM
...yes I'm childish, but I find bathroom graffiti entertaining at times.

Technically, it's reading.

The best graffiti I ever saw was in the Radio-TV-Film building back at the old San Antonio College. None of the usual racist BS or nonsense; it was all artsy and nonsensical stuff, like people dropping acid and drawing what their perceptions presented.

That school, though, had graffiti in EVERY bathroom, over every square inch of space. Never a dull moment if you had to spend a few minutes in one. ;)

Probably more nuanced in Estonian or Romni, possibly even romantic.

I recall two bits of bathroom graffiti in the Music Practice spaces at Wesleyan College. One was 'Holy S**T' in the most delicate illuminated lettering (using at least 4 colors) and the other was 'Save the Whales! Win valuable prizes!"

At the time they were quite hilarious. Lots of 'aromatherapy' and little ventilation, I guess...

"Use an action verb." LOL! Beware the grammer police. They are EVERYWHERE.

One of my soldiers once figured out that most ports-john graffiti can be sung to the tune of "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin, and then proceed to sing his way thru most of a road march, just to prove it...

To this day, whenever I see "Here I sit all broken-hearted..." I can't help but think of his musical, uh... "insanity" (yeah, let's go with that)

That police call box one is cool but everyone knows that's Dr. Who not Sherlock Holmes or Moriarty like what someone wrote.   :coolsmiley:

I was unimpressed. The drawing was rushed and school-grade. I would think Brits would have more patience and love for their art (and their Doctor for that matter).
