Graffiti, ho!

Um, I'm totally letting the wine wear off a little before I make more manuscript comments for fiction class.  Yeah.  That's right, I'm not procrastinating, I'm being RESPONSIBLE.  Anyway, I thought I'd mention a couple of great graffiti I've seen recently in the Denney Hall men's rooms.  One was in a stall that was absolutely covered in scrawled messages.  On top of all this, someone had scrawled in wide-tip marker, "Ah, the Bakhtinian polyphony!"  Only in an English building.

The other was on the wall above the urinals (which is a fabulous place to read graffiti in Denney).  Someone had written "Fuck Y'all," and beneath it someone else had written, in a very careful hand, "Sir, I do vehemently register my protest at the fucking of us all."  <3.

I'll try to snap some pics, but only if I can manage not to be Creepy Bathroom Guy (nobody likes a CBG).

If I remember correctly, the Denney ladies room had some wonderful stall convos as well. Complete with edited grammar.

I'm still kicking myself for not taking a photo of the Old Norse Rune graffiti I saw in the ladies' room a few months ago. Sadly they have now painted over it. Le sigh.

So you should. Lest some janitor take it upon himself to repaint the walls, and the Bakhtinian polyphony is lost forever!
