a question about stall art
Maybe I'm frequenting the wrong "facilities", but it always seems like I end up in a stall with a cornucopia of crassness. Doesn't anyone put a little effort into their work anymore?

I mean, you've always got the classics - references to body parts, requests for "service", insults of various individuals - but what happened to a little creativity?

What about you? Have you ever chosen to put your mark on the everyman's canvas? If so, what witticism did you leave the rest of us to ponder on while we performed the universal duty?

2. See? That's the kind of talent that just won't go to "waste"
It would make my stay worth it if all graffiti were as innovative.

7. I've always wanted to get up on a billboard
All that flat space is enticing.

But freakin' ClearChannel here has barbed wire around the tops of the poles (right under the sign).

3. I know I've found a place I like
when the bathroom graffiti is political. I love places with anti-Bush epithets on the stall. There are a couple places I've been with chalkboards where people could leave messages in the bathroom. I think those are a good idea and used them a couple times.

5. We had something like that in the dorm my freshman year
It was different because we all knew pretty much who was writing what, so there wasn't the same sense of freedom that you get when inscribing a wall in the middle of B.F. Arizona (i.e. between me and anywhere else).

9. I like the riddles - This one is good....
You are in a room with only two door. Behind one door is the safe way out and behind the other door is certain death. A set of twins are in the room with you. One always tells the truth and the other one always lies. You may only ask one question aloud. What is the one question you can ask to know which door is the door to safety?

10. Answer....
Which door would your brother tell me to go through? Then you go out the other door.

The brother who tells only the truth would point to the door of certain death because that is what his brother would say and the brother who tells only lies would point to the door of certain death because he would lie about what the truthful brother would say ..... so now it doesn't matter which brother is the truthful one and which one is the liar, you now know which door NOT to go through with only the one question.
I thought it was cool ... The riddle was in one stall and the answer was in another one. Took me several trips to that store before I used the stall with the answer.
