actualy ive had one go off in my face but never explode. 100 posts, too bad if you guys dont like me because im sticking around for a long time
Putting this in the toy thread b/c, well, he's gonna be a toy . . . Help my buddy pick a name! No, seriously. Alright so my buddy moved to Chattanooga after returning (with all his limbs, thank god) from Afghanistan. We were real close back in Memphis, haven't seen each other in a long time. I got into graf in the intervening years. He needed/needs someone to hang out with, and the other night I told him, "Well yeah we can hang, but I'm gonna be painting freights." I thought he'd ass out, but he wanted to go, and then it hit me: who better as a look-out than a fucking combat veteran Marine? Hit the yard, only a couple cars, only throwies, had to get up early yadda yadda. Long story -> short: He fucking loves it. Kid has always been mad talented, on canvas, but for a lot of reasons this sneaking around shit trips his trigger. He can't talk about anything else. "It's like being in the shit, without the mortars." So . . . he's been coming up with names all day every day. My suggestions have been pitiful and obvious: Semper, Fidelis, Semfi, Marine, blah blah blah. Meanwhile, he's narrowed it down to a few (I think) fucking awesome monikers. I know, he's probably gonna change it up at some point, but he's also more committed than the average guy. So, here's what I need. The choices are Jargon, Pogue, Auger, and Genro. I think they all sound awesome, none of 'em seem to be taken, but what I lack is the smarts to help him on potential. Negative space, that kind of shit. So, anybody have advice for my buddy, OTHER THAN "fuck him, he's a toy"? I could have a real-deal partner (which I've never had) to help crush the bigger/higher-traffic spots, and I'd like to help him start with a name that's got a lot of potential. C'mon, BS, show some heart.
Jargon the Jarhead. But really it's up to him. Tell him to mess around with all of them, see what he likes. Cheers for him getting home.
He's already been discharged, honorably, and Marines are not the same as the Army, you dumb fucking child. Why don't you go acid etch some mirrors, champ? Don't wear gloves.
let's just address something: you life in fucking chattanooga. no matter how good your graf is, or how cool this dude's name is, you live in fucking chattanooga. I think that could literally be the most irrelevant place in the world for this sort of shit
fuck, i feel like i'm too late, don't want to jump on the bandwagon. AUGER, though, that's hilarious. so the guy just came back from fighting for your country, and now he wants to fuck shit up in the homeland? ^^ also, i thought chattanooga was known for it's choochoos. what place is better?
relevant: I wasn't even going to make fun of the name picking thing like every head on this board would but the chattanooga part oh man.
holy shit we got another fuckin space cadet. I swear if international governments dont stop sending fucking skirrels to space, and then letting them use the internet afterwords, im going to blow my fucking brains out
Where the fuck do you live, then, and what is this relevant bullshit you speak of? Our rent is cheap, we're surrounded by mountains and rivers and a metric fuck-ton of excellent indoor green, and there's very little competition. The "writers" that are here pretty much stick to tagging power boxes and doors, and for some reason crossing each other's lame-ass tags out––which means, nobody's hitting the five major freight yards within the metro area, nor are they hitting rooftops, billboards, or even the clean reg. walls that are everywhere. And if that's not enough, it's a 1.5 hour drive to downtown ATL. If you wanna be relevant, put your shit on canvas or something. I'm busy putting my name up and living the good life.
