Yesterday was pretty crazy. The first thing that blew my mind was discovering that one of the regulars from the Anthrocon forums not only lives half a mile away from me, but also rides the same train into Center City every day. We pretty much saw each other on the train on a near daily basis without knowing it! Maybe I should start wearing my Anthrocon t-shrits around town more.

The second thing was the vandalism I saw of a Cottonelle ad at Market East Station:

Here's a closeup:

So yeah, it's been an interesting week I think.

I wrote a song about a graffito a couple of years ago. A sign in front of a tavern's parking spot read, "CUSTOMER PARKING ONLY", and then in smaller letters, "ALL OTHERS TOWED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE". Somebody had taken a permanent marker and scratched out the word "OTHERS", substituting "MERCY F***S" instead (for whatever incomprehensible reason). The F-word had subsequently been whitewashed, so all that was left was "ALL MERCY TOWED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE". Thus was "Towing Mercy" (http://mrgoodwraith.livejournal.com/8307.html) born.

I saw some of that advertising on the Broad Street/Orange Line. I couldn't help but think how much it costs to fill a subway car with all that advertising. O_o

But that vandalism above is funny. XD

someone you saw most everyday - a regular. How neat. Small world syndrome.
