First from yesterday’s post:<\/p>\n

\n“Yesterday, I wore for the first time my third experiment in knitting pants.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This reminded me of what I think might be my all-time favorite graffiti.\u00a0 It was so well-known and liked that it actually got a write-up in “The New York Times”<\/em> back in February 1967 – although it’s archived:<\/p>\n

The graffiti was originally written in a gay bar in Greenwich Village way back in the day when the Village was pretty much a gay ghetto.<\/p>\n

GRAFFITI POSTER:<\/p>\n

“My mother made me homosexual.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some Wag with a wonderful droll sense of humor wrote right below it:<\/p>\n

“Cool!\u00a0 If I buy her the yarn, do you think she\u2019d make me one too?”<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

.Now to the amazing skill using a chainsaw to create a sculpture:<\/p>\n
