| The 70's were a time of great social, political, and economic upheaval. The Vietnam War was a very devisive force. Vandalism in general became a "thing". Restrooms were easy victims. The pay toilet was a method to mitigate that, rather than just shutter them entirely. | ||

| The last bathroom wall poetry I remember reading went as follows “Those who write on bathroom walls role their shit into little balls, for those who read these words of wit, eat those little balls of shit” The Sand Bar Lawrence Ks | ||

| My favorite bathroom graffiti wasn't a poem, but some art. They drew a tombstone on the back wall right behind the toilet and it just said "Here Lies Poop" with the toilet right under the tombstone and it makes me laugh every time I think of it 🤣 | ||

| I think there is a definitive, absolute and measurable link/association between bathroom graphitti, public toilets, and recent CGC books. Think about it. (See how I tied that all together?) |

| That is typically what happens. The first 2-4 pages can stay on topic, then it will derail. The process tends to repeat itself throughout the thread. | ||

 I don't believe this....and I know you don't care that I don't believe this.

| Usually when everything has been said or it becomes repetitive does the thread become derailed.....after the derailing someone will comment that its been derailed and someone will put it back on the rail..... Speaking of CBCS Customer Service....I sent an email yesterday about my submission and lo and behold a response was in my inbox this morning answering my question....customer service did its job as intended. |

| Oooh, I’m submitting too. Want to be part of the CBCS centipede of idiots alongside my membership in the CGC millipede of idiots club! No human centipede as(s)pirations, however. I’ll leave that for the toilet obsessed… |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics True, but I have to say it's nice they're finally using promo codes. After all those years having to write on your submission form that there's a promo going on...or that you have vouchers. $50 says there's one of these on the front counter..  |
