On a wall in The Esplanade St Kilda
If you want to be loved be lovable
Seen on the wall of the Minneapolis Airport Gents:
"If you want to be loved, tap your foot, and take a wide stance."
Being that I can't stay in Boston for the official Christmas season, Merry Andrew and I have already exchanged gifts of love and I would like to share quotations from a lovely book called a Year in Art, a painting a day. It is a desk calendar with 365 of the most exquisite art reproductions I have ever seen. They are the graffiti of the artist's soul. Most of these paintings hang on museum walls which are public places.
Let us be grateful to people
who make us happy;
they are the charming gardeners
who make our souls blossom.

In particular, this is for my fellow Buddhists on A2K

Have a very jolly holiday, y'all, and continue to enjoy this thread that Sglass so wonderfully began.

Talking with another A2Kr tonight I was pulled back into the past to the days that Merry Andrew and I frequented the bars of the West Village.
One of our favorites was the White Horse Tavern which was favored by members of the beat generation.
Jack Kerouac who was an outrageous drunk had a bad habit of passing out in all the wrong places hung out at the White Horse Tavern, and on many occasions was thrown out, or (86'd).
I met MA after work one day at the White Horse Tavern, and he grabbed me by the arm and drug me into the men's room (sans customers) and written across the wall was:
Jack Kerouac Go Home, The Establishment
More Greenwich Village graffiti.
The Clancy Brothers in their heyday in NYC spent a lot of their non-gig time at a place called the Lions Head in Christopher Square. If you were there at closing you might be asked to stay for an after hours concert.
Anyway, in the men's room at the Lion Head, someone had scribbled on the wall
Don't the Clancy Brothers have a home?
underneath was scribbled
Sure we do, The White Horse Tavern on 14th Street, signed Liam Clancy
Sign in the john here at work:
"Please don't throw gum, paper towels, or tissue into the urinals as it clogs them up"
OK. Can I throw the rest of my garbage in there then?
I remember this one from a few years back.
Here in Cubeville we are treated to motivational and such-like posters for
our entertainment and edification. One said
DON'T GIVE AWAY TRADE SECRETS
so, of course, someone wrote underneath "sell them".
When Barry Goldwater was campaigning for the presidency against John F. Kennedy, a campaign button that his supporters wore read "This Voter is for Goldwater." Soon enough graffiti began appearing over men's room urinals, reading "This water is for Goldwater." I was a Kennedy supporter, but it took me a long time to get the pun. Well, I was young back then.
Another corporate example comes to mind. When I worked at Wang Labs,
there was a big marketing campaign to herald the latest version of the VS
minicomputer. There were posters with a retro-style steaming locomotive
and the legend "The VS Express is Coming!" To which someone added "No,
it's just breathing hard."
