Favourite Graffiti

Postby flossy on Tue Apr 25, 2006 5:23 pm

What's your favourite thing you've seen written on a desk? After some scarily boring lectures, the desks have been a source of diversion!

Personally I love "Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7 of your life".

All in all, I'd say I prefer electrons to people.

Not a desk, the wall above the urinals on the middle floor of the Union...

"You're the only man in the Union who knows what he's doing."

Probably long painted over, alas.

Incidentally, should have said this in my previous post - but as we've all only posted one example so far it should be favourite graffito. Ahem. Sorry.

Was sitting in a lecture in Physics A last semester when I looked down at the desk, a bit uninterested, and read:

"I am bored and so are you."

I thought it rather fitting.

Someone apparently scrawled a really dirty line from Catullus (and from the Roman Elegy class) in the girls' bathroom at Cowell. I can't read it, so I'll take the people who were in that class' word for it, but that is just so awesome. So bad, apparently, they wouldn't translate it for me in public.

I know the original post asked for desk graffiti, but since others have given other examples, I don't feel so bad :P

Someone in my hometown defaced a "STOP" sign so that it read:

"STOP

...Hammertime"

Beautiful.

Ha ha...clearly it's not a very original piece of graffiti :P

It still made me laugh though.

The best graffiti ever is from the work of a notorious graffiti artist called Banksy.

I did spy, during a not-particularly-interesting lecture by Prof Steve Lee, on a Physics Lecture Theatre B[?] desk: "Steve Lee has foot and mouth". I think I nearly choked the first time I saw it.

On the sign for the awful town I live in it says that the town is twinned with Bron in France. By adding an X it is frequently and more aptly twinned with Bronx.

Another thing I noticed in my first year was that almost every desk in the Buchanan Theatre has this written on it
''Hello Hector, I'm in jail''
I have no idea what this means but I love whoever wrote it everywhere!

How lovingly all the signs in "Buckhaven" have been lovingly scraped away or done in with tippex to read "Fuckhaven". Oh the maturity!
