I was here

I used to carve my name on live bunnies back in the day. Good times

 

pics or it didn't happen

 

somehow I can imagine the narrator of that video saying "with AUTOMAX's patented anti-hobo technology, unwanted railway car visitors are a thing of the past".

 

at most rail crossings the tracks where there first. blame the appropriate governments for being too cheap to bridge over or tunnel under them instead. also the stupid money worshiping culture for having to be in too much of a hurry to simply enjoy the pause of watching a train go by.

most taggings do NOT improve the aesthetics of rail cars. and i really don't give a rats ass for seeing some 'tard's name painted all over them.

fine. decorate the blank spaces, if you're actually going to create something attractive, or say something to make people think, but obscuring the reporting marks (those little letters that are the initials of the carrier and the car number) contributes nothing to either.

 

I'm pretty sure kids still do that.. middle school and high school kids mostly. I still see it on tables and in bathrooms and it's mostly really tacky because everyone ends up signing and it's just too much and looks horrible. Actually some stuff written in bathrooms is sometimes kind of cool, if it's thought provoking. But if people are just "tagging" their name or writing "I was here"... kinda lame. Especially if you're an adult. I never wrote I was here, even as a kid.

I do like writing with my finger on car windows that are dusty or steamy though. That's not permanent. I usually draw hearts, that's sort of been my signature since I was a wee bit girl.

I think it's sweet to see a heart carved in a tree with two names but I really don't like when a tree looks so messed up because of multiple carvings and people just went over board with it...

 

Yeah, I suppose it is lame.

I like graffiti though. It's probably my favorite art form. I have *zero* skill myself. But I will be headed to some of my favorite spots this summer and tag it up anyway, haha .. lame or not.

 

I do like some graffiti. The stuff that looks more artistic- street art. Some just looks ugly though.

 

Yep. Plenty of messy and sloppy stuff out there.

 

My spot called The Rocks

 

I used to do Kilroy, does anyone know the history behind it? I do, I think.
If I remember right it had to do with the boss man checking on rivets placed on the sides of the ships being built, it was his way of making sure work was done. I have to read up on it again to make sure my story is right.

 

lol

 

I was crafty with him, I drew him peeking over fences of different styles, cement walls with other messages on them, brick walls, even drew him peeking over a washroom stall wall as if peeking in on someone, prit near anything I could think of.

 

kilroy was one of the legends of world war two. probably not one person and probably not his or her actually name, though possibly their field operative code name or possibly something of a generic one. in europe, american troops anyway, believed him likely to have been a member of the french underground.

though he never claimed, ian flemming may himself have been one of the 'kilroy's.
