Here my scrawl

At my workplace I regularly walk past a bookshelf with lots of the titles we publish on display. There is one book called "Free Will".

There is considerable space between the end of the title and the edge of the book and I am often tempted to take a black marker pen and add a "Y", so that instead of a esoteric tome on the freedom of humans to make choices that are not determined by prior causes or by divine intervention, it would become a cheery little tale about a streetkid befriending a killer whale.

Have you been tempted to carry out wanton acts of graffiti recently and did you succumb?

Ask Edna Welthorpe (Mrs).

A few days ago, on the very same corridor somebody had parked a trolley with a few defunct PCs on it. One had a dodgy monitor and so had a sticker on it saying "BLINK". Later I noticed that someone had added "182" underneath.

Has Tr...sorry, Edna been busy with his felt tips lately?

Earthquake movie poster + Black Felt Tip = Fartquake: You'll Feel The Earth Move.

Once upon an evening dull, eating @ the local Chili's bistro, some members of the dinner party decided to white out certain letters in the FAJITASSSSSSSSS ad on the table. The JI, actually. FA TASSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Oh, the wit.

I can't think of any cute word changes right now, but in junior high I would cover the bathrooms with the dirtiest words my little mind could think of. Oh, and on those 'no hunting' signs with the man pointing his rifle at the tree I wrote NO SHOOTING TREES.

The usual changing Xmas signs to read 'Satan' instead of 'Santa'. Believe me, this is actually amusing in conservative Christian small towns.

Someone doctored Kidman's eyes on a poster for 'The others'. That tickled me on a drunken evening home

Dastoor will not sleep until he finds the culprit. I love defacing movie posters. I might start writing reviews on them.

In one of the cubicles in the men's toilets of The 13th Note Cafe in Glasgow, someone had scrawled 'Camera Obscura Rock'. I thought 'Camera Obscura suck cock' was more appropriate, so I changed it.

I am always doing this. Occasionally I carry Mr Sharpie pens for the purpose. My stairwell is full of graffiti and much of it is quality, eg. THE ROAD OF EXCESS LEADS TO WILLESDEN. In the midst of a bunch of Wayne 4 Sharon grafs I wrote I (heart) ILLITERATE TEENAGERS in fuchsia marker.
