bathroom stall graffiti
http://notesfromthestall.com/





Of course my favorite was from a Women's stall at High on Rose in Lexington Ky. My wife took me in to see it.

"My mother made me a Lesbian"

below that was written:

"If I gave you the wool, would she make one for me"?


Many sites with graffiti

7. One place put butcher paper on the wall. He put a roll of it
up and would pull it down when there was no room left. The paper ran under a metal bar to hold it in place and made it easy to rip off the old paper. The cafe was across from Wayne State University in Detroit, so the quality of the writing was top drawer.

17. Top drawer writing at WSU? Ha! I taught there
As a slave-labor graduate assistant, I had to grade papers. There were some good writers, but much of the writing would disgrace a self-respecting bathroom wall.

Where was the butcher paper? My "second office" was the Circa 1890 Saloon. People got much smarter there, as the evening wore on.

:hi:

22. That was in the early 70's. The cafe was in some old office building in the Cass corridor.

20. Some of the best restroom writing I have ever seen was in FSU's Strozier Library
They had tiled the walls, hoping to discourage writing on them. The students simply wrote in the grout lines. I don't remember any examples - it's been 35 years since I was in that building - but some of the pieces were brilliant. A few were written sort of like crossword puzzles - you had to follow both horizontal and vertical lines to read them and some made great use of that change in direction.

21. Go Tartars.
When I was there it the mid 70s it was an excellent school. Lot's of great bars in the area too. Especially the Tartar House. Good entertainment there.

House. I also lived on Forrest, Willis, and Alexandria in the El Moor (The Alexandrine).

Remember when he threw a pie in the face of the guru?

2. I saw a really funny one recently
Somebody had drawn an arrow pointing to the TP dispenser, and it said, "Free Undergraduate Degrees".

"Smash the state!"

8. Two from the Texas Chili Parlor's infamous pink wall in the 70's
"Everything in Texas either bites, stings, burns or breaks your heart"

"The survival value of intelligence has yet to be proven"
and someone added underneath
"Maybe so but no smart person sticks his head up during a firefight"

10. A deep classic.
Edited on Mon Aug-30-10 10:37 PM by RandomThoughts
Some come here to sit and think.
Some come here to shit and stink.

I come hear to make a few calls,
and read the writing on the walls.

If you voted for Nixon, you can't shit here because your ass is in Washington.

when I was a student at UT:

Here I stand with soaking buns
Meant to fart, but got the runs

27. Every now and then I'll scrawl "I didn't write this."
Edited on Tue Aug-31-10 01:17 PM by Iggo
More then than now, if ya know what I mean.

EDIT: By "more then than now" I mean that nowadays I have more respect for the people who have to clean it up than I did in the old days.

30. On Highway 1 down the coast in California between SF and LA
There's a stop where you can go to the bathroom. It's got graffiti all over every square inch of it. It has the names of the couples who stopped there and the year they went through. It's fun to read. Some were newlyweds taking that amazing and unforgettable drive between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Someone started a very nice tradition in that bathroom.
