I have a huge cement column in the middle of my loft - it was painted with chalkboard paint and I left it up to people to write whatever they'd like. I'm not sure when it started happening, but it turned into a guestbook of sorts - people left all sorts of nice messages after I hosted a couple of people, dinner parties, etc. It's starting to fill out nicely:

I was reading some of the notes tonight at dinner (I actually hadn't noticed a couple of them until quite recently), a few things struck me:

  • Nearly nobody signed their messages (although from context, I know who signed what)
  • I have a lack of "OmG Had a greaattt time last me, call me, xoxoxoxox" tags. If I had a few of those, people would be all like, "Dag, he's hot stuff." But they're all innocent postings, like, "Thanks for the dinner party!" Shame, shame. 

By comparison, last February:

That's like all the unsightly graffiti people leave on the Great Wall of China. Such disrespect!

You probably didn't see any open crotch pants on your trip. Back when I was traveling to China, kids didn't wear diapers. They'd just shit on the curb. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-07/16/content_349150.htm

Nothing a swiffer wet jet can't handle.

Emperor Qin would turn you into a terracotta warrior if you graffiti'd his wall. You're just too soft Roy.
