"If I bought her the wool, would she make me one too?"

From the Deadwood (fave grad school bar) in Iowa City, c. 1993:

Along the bottom edge of a bathroom stall door at my college:

"BEWARE OF LIMBO DANCERS"

On a stall door in an upscale restaurant bathroom, which otherwise had a nearly perfect paucity of graffitti, thanks to frequent maintenance:

A Poem I read many many years ago in a bathroom stall, and I don't remember where:

He who writes on shithouse walls
Rolls his shit into balls,
He who reads these words of wit
Eats those balls of shit.

I read this in grade school:
"Julie was here but now is gone
She left her name to carry on.
Those who know her, know her well
Those who don't can go to Hell"

The bathroom at my dad's school had a sign promoting frugal use of toilet paper. It read:

"Why use two when one will do?"

to which someone responded

"Because my finger pokes right through."

When I see good stuff, I usually take a picture of it with my camera. I can only seem to find two at the moment:

"Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels"

and

"Work is the scourge of the drinking class."

Isn't that last one Oscar Wilde?

I just saw a new one last weekend:
Prank call Steve Smith

He loves sea bass

There once was a Bohemian monk
Who always slept in a bunk
He dreamt that Venus
Was stroking his elbow
And woke up covered in perspiration

Years ago in a town bar, the entire ladies room (actually, just a single toilet and sink) the entire stall was covered with quotes and sayings. The trouble was, there were so many, and usually a line outside the door, that there wasn't enough time to peruse them all.

youngergirl: I actually had an editor once who loved mackerel so much that he would call Whole Foods a few times a week to ask if they had any fresh mackerel.

One of our "hazing" activities for new reporters was to make them leave a phone message for the editor, claiming Whole Foods had called about the mackerel.

Bathroom at the Hideout

The real joke isn't on the wall.

It's in your hand.

When I was a barely young man, there once was a bathroom stall wall covered with gay graffiti (I mean, extremely detailed graffiti, the kind with very instructive pictures for all and sundry to peruse), and this was at the Astrodome of all places. There someone had taken the time and forethought to spray paint a small square over amidst all the, um, information. In the original color of the bathroom stall, mind you, which was hardly visible (VERY extremely detailed gay graffiti).

Further, he had then taken the time to write the following in calligraphy:

"Doesn't ANYONE write about pussy anymore?"

Loved. It.

At a local now-closed goth club:
XXX is hung like a horse
In reply:
and living proof that size isn't everything

And yes, CitrusFreak, that quote is indeed Wilde. I painted that very quote in script as a border of my bedroom in my last apartment. Classy!

(mom's reaction: "kelly, is that necessary?" "it's Oscar Wilde" "oh, very good, then." "oh?" "I'm just glad to know my money for that unfinished English degree wasn't a complete waste." thanks, mom!)

"I make the best grilled cheese sandwiches."

Some bar in the French Quarter. Under the quote I found a wicked Spyderco knife.

Just a slight derail, but tr33hggr, I found one of those knives sitting on top of the papers in one of those free street dispensers. I figured the poor guy saw his parole officer coming.

Just a continuation on the slight derail, but tr33 I used to have a Spyder knife, though smaller than that one. Damned fine camping knife. I lost it. I've missed it ever since.

posted by elizard 15 February | 13:46

Indeed. It was sitting on top of a toilet paper dispenser. I was tripping my balls of on acid, and it was Halloween. Weird night, but that knife accompanied me on many a camping trip after that.

There's a women's bathroom in a restaurant at the Royal College in Stockholm, Sweden that is absolutely covered in grafitti. Almost every square inch. It's rather inspiring, actually, although most of it was in Swedish!
