A great animation-video. The style is beautiful and strange. (via Michael)

I think it would be fun if football referees wore these. Every 'First Down!' call would get an emphatic E chord.

Forget about relativity or Fibonacci numbers. That's all useless babble. I submit to you the Inverse Ninja Law. Now here's something you can use!

One of These Things is Not Like the Other

I've always been intrigued by bathroom graffiti. Something about the written word in this context speaks to my bent for the absurd, the cold communal playfulness of pop art, the entirely not serious, anti-art. In the men's bathroom at Tryst in Adams Morgan, a game of graffiti has been unfolding in the tiny space between the wall tiles for some time. I call it a 'game' because there are elements of a game in it: play, one-upmanship, an adherence to a loose framework of rules and conventions.
The game works like this: the player writes a title, phrase, or saying on the grout, and substitutes a key part of that title, phrase, or saying with the word 'grout.' Here are some examples:
As with any game, there are winners and losers. Some people catch on quickly, and others may miss the point entirely.
It is scrawled in black ink, directly to the left, a little below eye level of any 6-foot-1-inch-tall individual who might be standing at the toilet - this heroic attempt: When Harry Met Grout.
What? No, no, no! 'Sally' and 'Grout?' That's not it, man. What were you thinking? Clearly, you did not pick up on the rules from the many textual clues set before you.
Sorry, buddy. You lose. Not only that, you are banned from all future play.

- The Grout Wall of China
- Self-groutification
- The Grout Gatsby
- No grout about it
- Grout Expectations
- Instant groutification

Read a couple of the missions on this site, particularly the Best Buy mission. I love it. Sort of Fight Club-esque, only a little kinder and gentler. Thanks, James, for the link.
