I’m talking about grafitti. I’m just starting out, and I need advice. Where can I get supplies? What kind of caps to use? Where to graf? Cool styles?
Also, what are your graf names? Mine’s Codon, a biology refrence. Call me dorky, if you must. Where do you graf?
Just talk to me about graf. This is all I ask.
There’s a lot more than just “dorky” that I’d like to call you. If you are into tagging, you may consider yourself the scum of the earth.
It’s nice to know that you look upon a freshly painted blank wall the same way that a dog looks at a newly mowed lawn.
Where in the world do you get off thinking that the rest of us want to look at your defacing handiwork? You must have one heck of an opinion about yourself to believe that you contribute to society with your smegging vandalism.
Hopefully, you live in my area. That way, if I see a single tag with the word “codon” in it, I will know how to direct the police in their efforts to track you down.
Incidentally, if you intend to tag even a single piece of property that does not belong to you, then you are also requesting information about how to break the law in a private forum. I hope that the moderators will take a dim view of this and ban your @ss from these boards.
I have helped the police to apprehend a tagger before. It was one of the more gratifying things I have ever done. I look forward to helping them find you too. Try huffing your spray paint instead of tagging with it. I think most everyone will be the happier for it.
I find that the very best place to put graffiti is the front door of a police station. If you have no police station available, an occupied police car works just as well.
In other words, Mr. Miser, I’d suggest not trying to drum up a conversation about “graf”.
Y’see, it’s all the little things that get to a person. Seeing “graf” everywhere annoys people. Annoyed people are unhappy people.
I have no doubts that a lot of people would take a lighter approach to “graf” if the “artists” that did it were actually talented. Alas, they’re not.
Find yourself a pencil and paper. Worked for me.
The fact that I’m moving this to the BBQ Pit should tell you what I think about the subject. 
Dear SPOOFE,
Thanks for the input. It seems as if you hate me now, but you’ve also showed me a lot:
I probably should have put this post in GD so I could get more pro and anti opinions
I’m glad to see that there are some people out there who are committed to fighting against graf. If it pisses you off, I’m glad you’re fighting against it.
To clarify a few things: When I started reading your reply, I thought your comment on my name was going to be grounded in the fact that you were some bad-ass grafitti master, and you were criticizing me for poor choice. But I quickly leardned otherwise. Also, my reasons to do graf are not to offend people, or to get people to know my name, or whatever. If it offends people just to know that I’m writing on something that isn’t normally written on, I’m sorry. This is also why I write small, and inconspiciously. I don’t live in a place where I could get away with writing really large stuff, unless it was somewhere where no one would see it. I think the police will not put effort into “tracking me down” because I have not done enough stuff to be worth that. There are bigger fish to fry, and also I’m sure that there’s enough tax surplus here to hire someone to buff it off, if they really want to. All writing fades, and they know that.
There is one thing that I am going to flat out disagree with you on: There are some damn talented grafitti artists out there. Their stuff is incredible, and looks better than any blank wall to me.
I know I can’t change your mind, but if you want to see my side of the arguement, check out the book “The Art of Getting Over: Grafitti in the Millenium” by Stephen Powers. That can explain some of this a lot better than I can.
Seeing as how “getting your graf on” could lead to “getting your arrest on” and “getting your prosecution on” and “getting your jail time on” which could lead to “getting your butt-rape by a tattooed biker on”, I’m not sure if keeping this thread open is a swell idea.
Excuse my while I “get my email on”, Codon.
Well, I guess I feel shitty enough about this whole thing to close this thread, but I don’t know if I have control over that. So if you’re an moderator, feel free to go ahead to go ahead and get your close on, or continue to get your mock ElusiveMiser and his comical slang on, while generally continuing to get your anti grafitti opinion on, and I’ll go get my cry on.
OK then, as per your request, this thread’s getting its close on.
Think twice before you post anything that requests information about illegal activities. It makes the people who own this fine MB a little nervous.
