    Do you write motto's on your walls like the one below?
    Seems all the craze.

    Some come here to sit and think,

    Some come here to **** and stink,

    I come here to play with my balls,

    And read the writing on the walls.

    I can't do sign-writing. If I could, and if for some strange reason I felt like writing at home, it would be on the ceiling - think Ninja Turtles.

    The 'I love you' ones by couples are the most cringe worthy.

    The world has got that way recently. Some of the wedding photos people are putting up would make you puke.

    Good point. I've noticed a lot of this around the internet recently , in adverts. Hotel's that do weddings. Photographers. Really schmaltzy adverts that just, as you say...make you want to puke.

    Saw a photo recently from a local wedding shoot, with the happy couple kissing, but their heads were slightly out of focus because they weren't the main focal point of the photo.

    It was the wooden plaque they were both holding in their outstretched hands, towards the camera, and the plaque read "this is the start of something wonderful".

    Sweet baby Jesus.

    How things have changed. I was married just less than a decade ago, but the level of kitsch now in wedding days/shoots is off the scale.
    If a photographer had asked me to hold that plaque on my wedding day, he would have been told where to go. And my OH would have told him the same.

    I was walking down Dorset street in Dublin a few years back and ahead of me I saw two guys staring into a shop front window.

    By the time I got to the shop front the two guys were heading off...

    I was curious as to what they were looking at as it was a bit late in the evening so I had a look. It was a photographers premises and they had a full sized picture of a newly married couple , all dressed up to the nines. I couldn't help but laugh out loud as although they were dresses as if they were a royal couple, I thought that they weren't particularly photogenic themselves. In fact I though the guy looked like Wallace from the British animated TV show "Wallace and Gromit". So I burst out laughing and turned to continue on my walk home...

    As I turned I could see the two guys that were looking at the window earlier getting into their car but looking back at me wondering what I was laughing at.

    As I looked at them looking at me, I noticed one of them was in fact the Wallace that was in the life sized photo in the window display.

    The powers that be gave you your own thread to question life on kneemos but anyways.. The wall writing in your op is way too fancy, pretentious even. The last time I wrote on a wall was about 28years ago.I think it was 'sex is cool ok' or something along those lines.It didn't have the high finished sheen that your one had,but it had character dammit! It was clear to the readers that this piece of work was clearly scribed with conviction,by a socially aware young boy with his finger on the pulse.

    Writing on walls always struck me as the human equivalent of a dog pissing against a light pole. Territory marking for the brainless.
