March 5, 2016 : Hold Me Walter, Hold Me Perry
I came upon this at an overpass near me (Randolph Street over 90/94). Being a big fan of Home Movies, it definitely brought a smile to my face.
In case you want a closer look:
It’s a pretty random graffiti stamp since Walter and Perry were pretty minor recurring characters. Although, the image might be more about being kind and affectionate.
After seeing this, I did some Home Movies Wiki surfing. The article said, “it is suggested in a DVD Commentary Track that they (Walter and Perry) may be the only truly happy characters in the series.” Not sure how accurate this is, but it was an interesting idea.
In either case, the final episode of Home Movies aired almost 12 years ago, and I still quote it quite a bit. It’s times like this, I wish Adult Swim would put it back on its schedule. I guess there just isn’t enough room for it and all the Tim & Eric shows…

November 13, 2010 : Graffiti Justice… Take That H&M!
Graffiti artists on the CTA have proven to be humorous in the past. I found another such example:
As previously stated, I don’t usually approve of graffiti – but how can you argue with a Zoolander reference?
Speaking of which, Ben Stiller still claims to be working on a sequel to this incredibly underappreciated film – with the help of Justin Theroux. Theroux co-wrote Tropic Thunder with Stiller. So even more reason to want this film to get made.

January 2, 2010 : Grammar Nerd
The picture below is of an ad on the CTA tracks downtown.
The correct adverb was not included in the original ad. Instead, the ‘ly’ was added by a studious graffiti artist.
I’m usually not a fan of graffiti; but being a grammar nerd, I’d be fine not citing the person that ‘proofread’ the ad.
