REVOLT: I'm with you all... Fuck dem laws we ain't killin nobody and shit. I ain't much compared to all y'all other taggers but I'm out there. I, hittin' up, not only with graffiti, but I'm moving to stencil work and stickers, along with my other thirty or forty other names...

in response to Dallas Graffiti Writers Busted!

elaine: i know, jamie, you can't fool me. pooible was a typo, as well you can see. possible possible possible it was. pooible it also might be, if there were only a meaning floating out there... jack, i hesitate to speak for the impossible - or even impooible - child, but it...

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

jack: i spent a couple of hours sitting by the ocean. the traffic had diminished to a nill and i could feel the cool dampness sneaking in around me. my solitude was soon suddenly interupted. a young man came running past me with a guitar case in his...

ian: Wait, is this an actual screen? There's a gallery of Windows errors in embedded systems somewhere.. You should submit it :)

in response to Billboard Error, 42nd & 8th

Peter: hahaha jeff! too bad no one told him argon was harmless. its the white phosphor coating he should have been worried about (though even it, in such amounts, should be rather harmless)... though i guess that vaporizes some when one of em bursts... anyway, heres to quirky people with weird phobias!

in response to Wood Carvings

an impossible child: hahahahahahahhahahahahaha jamie pooable is fantastic! :) xxx

Jamie: Ooops! Anon was me. Silly me. But, elaine, is pooible a word? Maybe pooable. But that still makes little sense. Bovad?

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

NICHOLE DAVIS: WHILE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT THIS PLACE IN DISGUST THEY MUST REALIZE IT IS NOT THE JUST THE IMPORTANCE OF THE OUTSIDE BUT HOW YOU MAKE YOUR HOME ON THE INSIDE. I'VE SEEN BEAUTIFUL HOMES ON THE OUTSIDE BUT DISGUSTING ON THE INSIDE!

in response to projects, against a beautiful sky

Farrell: Vanity Fair magazine ran an incredible photo of dancer/choreographer David Parsons stretched out high above NYC on one of the Chyrsler building's gargoyles. I'm assuming the photo was taken by the peerless Annie Leibovitz. Does anyone have any suggestions for finding resources for that picture?

in response to The Chrysler Building

lisa: nice picture's

in response to Kangirsujuaq

jeeff: right after highschool i worked in a warehouse with a slightly crazy gap-toothed man who was terrified of fluorescent lights. particularly, he was scared of the gases inside making him go blind. one day he was driving the forklift, raised the forks too high (he was angry at me...

in response to Dresser Day!

joey: when i was a kid we lived near a general electric lamp testing facility called, nela park. anyway one part of the dump was filled with fluorescent lamp tubes. somedays we would spend hours breaking all we could get our hands on. my favorite way to break a tube was...

an impossible child: 'bovvered' in my case came from little britain really (yes i watch a bit too much tv) um... very often when i sit down to put words down onto paper/screen the monster lurks up behind me & i get too self-conscious or think how no one in the world will understand...

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

Peter: ...and beware the glass-shards!

in response to Dresser Day!

Peter: alas, the wire-spaghetti-eating robot has been put out for trash pickup. here you see him enjoying a disused computor monitor as his last-meal. we bid you a fond adieu, oh rolly spaghettibot!

in response to robot building

jack: i know, the thrill of hearing them explode. but don't inhale the smoke.

in response to Dresser Day!

elaine: for you, jack, so-called anon's "Face? Bovad?" translates as, 'look at my face, do i look like i am bothered by what you have said?' which of course has no meaning in print media, although because of the popularisation of the phrase by the comidienne catherine tate it is in...

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

Peter: totally. my favorite is when theres a bin full of discarded fluorescent lamp tubes... muahahaha!

in response to Dresser Day!

in response to Swarm of Bikes

jack: you guys.

in response to Lands End Intersection

Peter: try this, jack: www.citynoise.org/about.php#faq8 or just email them to the editor and they will post them for you.

in response to Dresser Day!

elaine: alright. the facts of my case don't bear close scrutiny. but i am right about everything else. as per!

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

jack: no. but i had some friends in the coney island bike gang and one of them let me ride his for awhile. it was fun, the wind blowing thru my hair, my shirt open and the girls grabbing me around my waist, it was fun.

in response to Biker Rally

Peter: i often wonder exactly what goes on at this spot over the weekend, as new additions always turn up on monday. here are some recent ones: two grammar errors in a 4 word sentence. nice work. penis, rocketship, bird or missle? does that say "michead"? i suspect that this is to blame... an empty...

in response to I Like it Raw

anon (heineken-hme0.london.02.net): Animals helping with the washing up? Live baby duckling necklaces? I rest my case. So it's 'isit' now is it? Face? Bovad?!

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

jack: by the way the people are looking for you peter, and now i know who did that kicking and they want to thank you because in the old dresser was there grandmothers money box which they found. by the way, how do i post pic's. i click on...

in response to Dresser Day!

jack: did i ever tell you girls about the big womem with the cleavage like the grand canyon who held a puppy to her sweet flowing breast and the puppy decided to vacate itself of the puppy chow it devoured earlier. well, she screamed, an ear piercing scream, the puppy...

in response to In My Back Garden

Peter: jack: ive got a kawasaki! incidentally, its a pain to ride over cobbles. especially the rough, torn up cobbles near the prospect heights post office on fulton. wheres your camera? are you still taking photos?

in response to Swarm of Bikes

elaine: muahahahahaha! i have wormed into your mind!

in response to empty reference repeat

Peter: so did you ever get a bike, jack?

in response to Biker Rally

Peter: this is one of my favorite threads, as a matter of fact. i am constantly on the lookout for empty references and robot faces now...

in response to empty reference repeat

elaine: you flatter me, jack. though you will never see me on a bike.

in response to Swarm of Bikes

elaine: it's 'issit' now, jamie. jamie, you are proper old fashioned, issit. and why, pray, am i so distinctively mental at this precise moment?

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

jack: yes, thats it. it is beautiful. looks like a cherry blossom tree.

in response to Bougain Villa

Jamie: What an excellent piece of writing. It put me in mind both of the opening monologue of the movie trainspotting, and also blur's parklife. There's also i hint of chuck palahniuk somewhere in there i can't shake from my head now. Good stuff. elaine: you are proper mental, i worry about...

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

jack: peter lets start a bike gang and lets have elaine as the gang leader. by the way this has nothing to do with it but i was on 3rd avenue and 33 street in brooklyn yesterday and saw cobblestone streets near bush terminal and the post office.

in response to Swarm of Bikes

an impossible child: thank you :P x

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

elaine: everyone wins!

in response to Swarm of Bikes

jack: when i was 22 i was in the army reserves and i wanted to get a bike and drive down to the tip of south america. i wanted escape, freedom, danger, adventure. instead, after awhile, when i did'nt get called up for nam, i met a girl, setled...

in response to Biker Rally

elaine: this thread is getting robotbuildingesque!

in response to empty reference repeat

Peter: ...and then there are those of us who just have a fetish for machinery. shiny chrome and powerful engines are a plus! i, for one, love motorbikes. seeing these shots made me drool. especially the belt-drive one in the second photo. imagine the gear ratio on that. either someone does...

in response to Swarm of Bikes

Peter: two train-related empty references: the commute home is never boring when youre on the lookout for citynoise cameraphone fodder!

in response to empty reference repeat

elaine: good point, well taken. i will never make a duckling necklace, no matter how cruella i might get.

in response to In My Back Garden

elaine: yay, free stuff to kick!

in response to Dresser Day!

elaine: see, and i didn't even know that. vindicated! i know sexy when i see it!

in response to Swarm of Bikes

jack: actually she is correct, because that is the part of the engine where the cylinders go up and down. the bore and stroke. the power of the machine, thrusting it forward, stronger and stronger, until there is a steady hum of speed and it's flying down the highway.

in response to Swarm of Bikes

elaine: awww, jack!

in response to Lands End Intersection

elaine: jack, i can tell you this, it is very good. it wants reading aloud. it's very phonetic, very local, very london. bovvered is bothered. it's a good contemporary equivalent to the jack kerouac kind of idiom. i tried reading some irving welsh to an israeli the other day and i...

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

Peter: jack, thats the lovliest thing ive read today. thanks.

in response to Lands End Intersection

Peter: since i had on my big winter army boots, i kicked in the front of the one sitting in the street in the first photo whilst waiting to cross the avenue. it was a good release after a long day of work ;)

in response to Dresser Day!

jack: actually it is a mommy lamp post trying to help her little boy with his wiring. she has been feeding him electricity and is telling him if he wants to grow up and be big like his father then he had better finish all his food. she says...

in response to Lands End Intersection

Peter: the overhead wires that power the busses are called catenary wire. the part of the bus/trolley that makes contact with those wires is called a pantograph (rail). i dont know why i know this, but those are two tidbits of the massive amount of trivial information that fills my head,...

in response to Old Bank

elaine: ooh! exciting! free stuff, and 3D stuff to look at, all good!

in response to Dresser Day!

Hobart: I love entries like this one.

in response to Who are The People In Your Neighborhood?

jack: look at the cars, there on the wrong side of the street, but then again the british like things their way much like the americans.

in response to Old Bank

Hobart: Ouch!

in response to Homeless Subterranean

Hobart: One wonders where all the clothes that used to live in all those dressers live now! Poor homeless clothes. Someone please give them a new dresser...

in response to Dresser Day!

jack: reminds me of the blizzard of 48. kids used garbage can covers for sleds. people walked in the streets. i remember the snow so deep that i could'nt see over it and i felt like i was walking in tunnels. of course i was only 6....

in response to Blizzard of \'06

Peter: i think its sort of abstract poetry, jack. sort of like abstract art. but perhaps it caters to different tastes. i just like seeing creative writing of any sort on here. it gives a good rhythm to all the photos.

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

jack: adam knowing all about girls is like running up a solid snow pile and falling in, not realizing it was not solid.

in response to Where the Snow Goes

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: They would poo in your cleavage. These things I know...

in response to In My Back Garden

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Yep. This is a great selection of fab pictures. Really beautiful.

in response to Blizzard of \'06

jack: i think that particular piece writing is for younger folk. i seemed to miss something. what is bovvered? it was pleasant reading it.

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

elaine: yep, close, but no banana! cinderella. and it is that scene, right, though? there is an advert here at the moment for margarine where they use that, except it is real animals - i could watch it forever, it is my ultimate fantasy, to be at one with animals. this is...

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

Peter: cinderella! "put em together and what have you got? bippity boppity boo!"

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

Peter: it looks like gumdrop is daydreaming a rainbow hologram into existence...

in response to Blizzard of \'06

elaine: heh, it's a nonsense song, and it is from something.... is it from the snow white disney cartoon? anyone? i feel it could be from the bit where the animals are helping her with housework, maybe?

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

Peter: the street lamps look like theyre doing some sort of sunset semaphore...

in response to Lands End Intersection

Peter: one of my all-time favorite plants!

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

elaine: i love the tiny ducklings. if it were not cruel they would make such a nice live necklace... (where did i even get that idea? i think i really am going mad now)

in response to In My Back Garden

elaine: nice pics, even to a non bike freak, that last one is particularly sexy

in response to Blizzard of \'06

an impossible child: elaine: does it make a bit more sense now? peter: thank you spike: you shouldn't eat pine trees, i don't think :)

in response to Will You Be Waiting for Me in the Star Alley?

Guy McLaren: Thanks Laura

in response to Birdlife

Guy McLaren: I will dig up some more

in response to Wildflowers

Guy McLaren: I will post many more especially after I replace my camera that I stupidly placed on the roof of the car while doing some vid, I drove off and the rest as they say is just too bad.

in response to The Small Falls at Sabie

Guy McLaren: Why not, we can start a whole new movement, I can get pics of natural forest, pine, gum, orchards etc....

in response to Wheres the Wood

sine: the vale of cashmere is a very popular cruising spot. not exactly safe, even during the day. but during a blizzard, no problem!

in response to Blizzard of \'06

Elicar: But jeeff, there's also a Wellington, England. Although the sky appears to be bright fro England (sorry guys!) the architecture makes me think that this is Wellington, England.

in response to Old Bank

jeeff: apparently the guy who sculpted the people at the rogers *ahem* skydome is quite famous. who knew.

in response to Long time lurker, first time poster

jeeff: wellington's in new zealand

in response to Old Bank

Elicar: Yeah, where is this Wellington? Initially, I thought it would be this building between Front Street E and Wellington E in Toronto, only to discover that they are totally different when I looked at the photo in my archives. What a strange coincidence though. Both in Wellington and both shaped...

in response to Old Bank

Brian Jones: Yeah!

in response to Let It Out/keep It in

jeeff: me too, the geometry of the streetlights is perfect. reminds me of empty reference repeat.

in response to Lands End Intersection

colavito's ghost: ummmm, this is embarassing, but I'm just gonna ask: Where is Wellington?

EvilGentleman: Those facades must look awesome in a sunrise/sunset situation

in response to Old Bank

EvilGentleman: This site is going to the birds, yet somehow, I still like it nevertheless

in response to Bird Houses

EvilGentleman: The difficulty of being interested in gangs, opposed to gangs, part of a gang, or even a cop tring to bust gangs is that on the net, the wannabes are able to fake things better. How can you tell who is who? Gang activity on the net is like cybersex;...

in response to GANGS ON NYC

Elicar: Makes me wish for snow, which luckily (or unluckily) we have been spared off. I thinked I shovelled only 5 times this winter.
