Graffiti!

Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2005 3:39 am

Do you guys ever pick a bathroom stall based on the graffiti in it? I do ALL THE TIME. One of my favorite series (to be found in more than one bathroom around campus!) is the puns on wall-building materials! My personal favorites:

Goodness, gracious, grout balls of fire!

Alexander the Grout

Tile and error

Look Who's Caulking 2

And one I came up with:
Grout! Grout! Let it all out!

When I was in high school, many many years ago, my best friend and I used to use this bathroom down in the basement near the home ec wing that no one knew about. We used to write each other messages on the wall in there when we were skipping class. (Yes, that's right, I was a rebel. Actually, I usually skipped class to go to the library and read.) Anyway, once I came to the bathroom and my best friend, who is the artistic type, had drawn a pretty damn big reproduction of Picasso's Guernica. It was awesome.

Also, when I was a younger lass, I used to write "I I Wuv Woo

[some boy's initials]" on this bathroom stall in a local restaurant. Over the years quite a few letters signifying unworthy chaps accumulated. The restaurant has now been torn down, thus sparing me any embarrassing memories.

True stories, all.

FUN FACT: The singular of "graffiti" is "graffito."

so instead of saying "i saw a particularly disturbing piece of graffiti today" one could say "i saw a particularly disturbing graffito today?"

two words: AWESOME!

The two best stall graffiti I've ever read:

1. "Godot was here."
2. "I had a really great proof for this, but I couldn't fit it in the space between the tiles."

Horribly obscure reference coming up!

I once saw a graffito (Teehee! BEST WORD EVAR) that said "Long live Saddam Hussein, son of the Prophet, Sword of Islam".

So yeah, I never acctually saw that one, though it would make sense, considering where I live. I was referring some book that was good, I guess. Don't remember the name of the book or the author.

The best is when people talk to each other.

"I was here"
"No you weren't!"
"SHUT UP YOU TWO!"

etc.

There was this one toilet wall where a lot of profanity and racism and nastiness was scrawled everywhere, then someone had written above it all, in quite eloquent script: "Smile. We're the lucky ones."

Nice.

I've heard of quite a few funny graffiti (I'm sure most of us have).
Unfortunately, I haven't actually seen any really funny ones.

The best I can think of was one pointing to a hole in the wall above a toilet, about waist-height.
It said, "Bruce Lee strikes again".

I've seen a really sad one, too. It was in really small letters, among a sea of swearing and good-time numbers, saying "I'm alone". *shudder*

The funniest I saw (again, now torn down), said in small, mournful script "I am a walking poo factory."

I started laughing in the men's room, which is taboo!

The "Here I sit, broken hearted..." poem still kills me.

I applaud anyone who continues in this grand tradition.

I swear, every time I visit Canada, there is at least one occassion where I see the U.S. Flag bearing a dollar sign in the "stars" section on a stall wall.

In the States, I usually see a lot of insults with the original recipient crossed out and replaced with "YOUR MOM".

The documentary "Bubba Ho-Tep" showed us that this convention has been around for a while.

The funniest (and almost only) graffiti in the bathrooms in my school is:

a) I saw you thake that shit, now put it back!

b) I am equipped with much dingaling

In my math class, someone wrote in huge letters on a desk (the size of the letters on Napoleon Dyanmite's desk, but maybe a little bigger): "Kelly Clarkson Kick A**!" I think the person meant "kicks". I find it funny that the graffitiosa changed the "s"s in "ass" to "*"s. It just makes sense to me.

Maybe s/he just had trouble with the letter S.

Except in "Clarkson". Maybe she (I'm guessing) just slips into a state of retardation every so often.

Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2005 12:55 pm

As do I, apparently!

We all do. Especially when bathing in floor cleaner.

speaking of which, what's up with dudes who talk to you at the urinals! nasty!

one time, around 2am or so i was in a denny's restroom (my first mistake) at the urinal, and this guy comes in, obviously having worshipped some false idol of the god of wine, slaps me on the back, hard (mid-pee, mind you) and goes 'EY BUDDY....AH'M GITTIN' MUHRRIED! WE DONE SET A DATE!

that's the worst instance i can think of, but people at the school (community college (my second mistake)) i go to do it all the time. animals.

I like the ones on the stalls of my junior high school's girl's bathroom on the bottom floor:

"Shcool sux!"
"U can say that agen!"

It's been a while since I used the school's facilities. School bathrooms are disgusting and hideous to the extreme.

Reporter: What do you think of Western Civilization?
Gandhi: I think it would be a good idea!

That was graffiti somewhere (I think I got it wrong somehow though) but I can't remember where from.

For a good conversation, meet here at 2:50pm on July 10.
Look for a maroon van.

Known locally as "Peter Park" because the homosexual perverts (not to say all homosexuals are perverts, just the twisted, child molesting ones) like to meet there, I found myself in that bathroom, on that day, at 2:47 PM. I cannot describe the abject horror I felt. I peed on myself in my haste to exit the bathroom, and sure enough, a maroon minivan pulled up at 2:49 and a suspicious pervert got out and checked the bathroom. If you have ever seen Dumb and Dumber, you can't even imagine the terror of the truckstop bathrooom scene.

Heh.

At the bus stop near Walkey station here in Ottawa, there's some graffito that says "Ali sucks mans balls for a living and even rapes them" It's been there for at least a year and a half, but someone erased the "Ali" part. I can only imagine one of the 100s of people named Ali's walking and saying "I do not!" all offended.

The same rule applies for "ravioli", in case you ever eat a single raviolo at one point.

"Lasagna"? Doesn't exist.

Funnily enough, I didn't even think to use graffito, it came out as a typo.

Now we know who was responsible for this:

When you leave out the comma the meaning is not the same. English Majors tend to remind us of this.

I HAD SEX IN THIS STALL!

I noticed it while I was on the toilet and it really grossed me out... I think it meant that that chick had sex in the stall.

I'm just curious as to when "I had sex in this stall" does not mean that whoever wrote that had sex in the particular stall(referring to the comment below the quote).

Anyone here seen this movie?

Anyway, in this particular scene the two actors there are trying to translate some hieroglyphs a mummy scribbled on a bathroom stall while taking a crap.
They read: "The Pharaoh eats donkey poo" and "Cleopatar does it with everyone"
