Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: Steve Shaw Date: 25 Jun 18 - 04:44 AM On a wayside pulpit in Liverpool which read "What would you do if Jesus came to Liverpool?" Someone had scrawled underneath "Move Ian St John to inside-left" |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: Mr Red Date: 25 Jun 18 - 04:15 AM In West Bromwich there is a road called Pennyhill Lane and in the 60s , no matter how many times the council painted it out, it got tagged to make the P look like a B. FIWI I have web page of a collection of graffiti seen in my area. graffiti.stroudvoices.co.uk mostly graphical, rather than textual. |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: Dave the Gnome Date: 23 Jun 18 - 02:13 PM And just remembered another favourite. Not so much graffiti as constructive vandalism. Some card keeps removing the 'C' and the 'S' from 'Canal Street' in the gay quarter of Manchester! |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: Raedwulf Date: 23 Jun 18 - 04:35 AM Some years back there were two or three (or more) paperbacks released of (alleged) amusing graffiti. The one that stuck in my mind was the tale of a gent's urinal somewhere that had the graffiti painted over. On the now pristine wall, someone drew three columns labelled "Sport" "Politics" "Sex". The next bloke wrote underneath "Up the Reds", "Up the Reds", "Up the Reds"... |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: Senoufou Date: 23 Jun 18 - 03:39 AM On a very sad note, three lads were creating a graffiti mural in a dangerous place beside a railway line at Loughborough Junction, London. A train killed all three in a horrifying incident. They were in their twenties. |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: Joe_F Date: 22 Jun 18 - 06:10 PM Lewis Carroll, IIRC, parodied "I dreamt I dwelt..." as follows: I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls, And each damp thing that creeps and crawls Went wibble-wabble on the walls. A long time ago I heard: Last night I tickled my grandfather's balls With oil on the end of a feather, But what seemed to please the old gentleman most Was knocking them gently together.... Cetera desunt. |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: Jim Carroll Date: 20 Jun 18 - 08:22 AM A historical one based on the popular mid-19 century popular song, 'I Dreamt that I Dwelt in Marble Halls' (from my mother's youth - seen in a ladies lavatory in New Brighton) I dreamed I was tickling my old feller's feet With a glass of sweet oil and a feather. The more that I tickled, the louder he laughed Till the cheeks of his arse flapped together Jim Carroll |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: vectis Date: 20 Jun 18 - 06:10 AM On a demolition site on adjoining toilets that had been outhouses in someone's back yard It's no good standing on the seat the crabs in here can jump six feet and if you think that's rather high try next door, the b*st*rds fly. And next door read: In this place of rest we do our best to keep it clean and sweet so God bless your soul and sh*t down the hole and not upon the seat. My Dad's favourite was on a particulary heavily written upon wall. One would think with all this wit That Shakespear's ghost came here to s*it. And as George P said, isn't it weird what one's memory retains? |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: Jim Carroll Date: 19 Jun 18 - 06:14 AM "Those who write on outhouse walls..." Liverpool version When you use these marble halls Use the paper, not the walls, If no paper can be found Rub your arse along the ground If that still no do the trick Wipe your ares upon a brick Jim Carroll |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: Bill D Date: 20 Nov 12 - 08:13 PM In a pub in Lawrence, Kansas, a woman came out of the ladies room with a puzzled look. She explained that on the inside of the door, facing those seated, was this curious bit of graffiti: "I usually don't write on toilet walls,but in this case I'll make an exception." |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: Bobert Date: 20 Nov 12 - 08:59 AM Back when I was in college at VCU I discovered, quite by accident, a "one-holer" in the basement of the old administration building... I kinda thought of it as my own private bathroom 'cause no-one, or so I thought, knew about it... This was around the time that Richard Pryor had that unfortunate accident with fire and got badly burned with some kinda illegeal activity and his PR people concocted a story that he was drinking rum and it caught on fire... Yeah, right??? So I wrote on the door of the stall, "Richard Pryor gets lit on rum"... About a week later I was making a visit to my personal, or so I thought, bathroom only to discover that right under my comment someone had written, "That's base!"... So I took out my felt tip and wrote under that comment, "Free Base?"... That's about as far as that thread went and those 3 comments/graffiti contributions may and probably are still there... I've often wondered if some kid later found what he or she thought was their own personal privy and wondered, "Who is is Richard Pryor?"... LOL... B;~) |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: Jack Campin Date: 20 Nov 12 - 07:20 AM The most intellectual piece of graffiti I've seen was drawn three feet high along the full length of the wall of a block of flats in Üsküdar, across the Bosphorus from Istanbul. Advanced high school or undergraduate organic chemistry reaction diagrams. I think it was documenting the Grignard reaction. The only explanation I could think of was that somebody in the block opposite was using it as a revision aid. |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: GUEST,Jonny Sunshine Date: 31 Oct 07 - 05:53 PM Not especially funny, but extremely well-placed was the graffiti on a fence to one side of the M40 on the way into London, with the words, in huge letters "why do I still do this every day" for the benefit of commuters stuck in the traffic. It was there for years, but appears to have been painted over recently |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: George Papavgeris Date: 31 Oct 07 - 10:21 AM That's from a song by the Gasworks, Guest,strad, a duo from Lancashire, I believe. If memory serves, the chorus goes: Verbalise your pre-orgasmic tension, Whisper dirty things into my ear. Please afford me proof of your intentions, Say those three short words I long to hear: (drop 'em blossom) For I'm so insecure I need your constant reassurance. You're the only cure, so please don't tax my endurance. And cure is so much nicer than prevention, So verbalise your pre-orgasmic tension. Verbalise your pre-orgasmic tension, Whisper dirty things into my ear. Please afford me proof of your intentions, Say those three short words I long to hear. For I ain't heard a dirty word since 69 BC; Now I long to hear each little obscenity. And cure is so much nicer than prevention, So verbalise your pre-orgasmic tension. (copyright by John Brown & Mike Draper - aka "Gasworks") Sheesh - the things one commits to memory! |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: GUEST,Slag Date: 30 Oct 07 - 02:18 PM Many years ago, traveling south on Highway 99 from Bakersfield toward Los Angeles there was an old abandon building off to the west as you began up the grade of the Ridge Route (the Grape Vine). Someone had painted in large letters "Jesus Saves". And so it was for many years. Then one day as I was headed over the Ridge and happened to glance toward said fixture I ntoice that someone had painted below the original lettering "...Green Stamps". I hope some of you are old enough to remember what Green Stamps were. Slag |

Subject: RE: BS: Graffiti Anyone? From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 02 Nov 03 - 09:59 PM Crystal, it has now been recognised that having a wall sych as that painted to look nice by the local community often tends to slow down the rate at which it is covered with graffitti - but once it starts, if not removed, then its use as a place fo graffitti gradually becomes "accepted" Robin |
