Brilliance....

It is a Sunday afternoon, the Tour de France is over and done with, and now, I have nothing better to do but to head off to the convenience store on a semi sunny Sunday afternoon with a hangover. Yes, a hangover. Too many beers last night made me feel, well, not so good honestly. Ah well, I guess that is the price that I pay for a couple of days of no hangovers during my brother's wedding last weekend. Of course, since I'm at the most gross convenience store you could possibly imagine in Durham, I had a sudden "wave" come over the gut, which means, jump into the bathroom for a little sabbatical I like to call it, where I come in contact with the above scrawling on the stall wall.

Honestly, since I was caught unawares going into this bathroom, the scribbling on the wall says it all. I don't have anything better to read, so here I am sitting here reading Mr. Vandal's writings on the bathroom stall wall in Durham, NC. Now, I've been in a lot of bathrooms in my life, and lots of porta-johns as well, but not once in those many times did I ever write anything in said bathrooms or porta-johns, or wherever I might happen to go and do my business. What makes someone want to write something so random on a bathroom wall? Where do these folks come up with pens and or markers to do this? Are they going into the can prepared to do battle with words and writing instruments? I'd have to say also, in the many bathrooms that I've been in, and seen, I've yet to see anyone writing anything on the walls. When does this happen? My hat goes off to these folks though, mostly because hey, they give me some form of entertainment when I don't have any. Like most men, I like to head off to the bathroom to do my business with a magazine or a book under the arm so that I have something to look at while I'm doing the work. Somedays, like in this case, I'm caught without good reading material, so I have many fine writings and scrawls to keep me company. I figured that this might be a good one to lead off with, it pretty much says everything for all bathroom graffiti artists out there. Keep writing things on walls, and I'll post them here.
