Was this unique to my college dorm
We decorated our bathroom stalls in the dorm. Pictures, jokes, artwork. They even had guestbook/diaries. Some of the entries were hilarious.

Did anyone else do this?

1. Grout graffiti in bathroom at UCLA
Many, many students over the course off several years adorned the grout in the bathroom in the Ackerman Student Union building with grout-related puns.

"Grout Expectations"
"Grout Caeser's Ghost"

etc.

Pretty damn funny.

Wish I remembered more of them.

4. The guestbooks were good reading too
Sometimes, when one was in for a longer visit to the facility, one could read through the entries. People write very strange things in the middle of the night.

Our tradition of to date and time all entries.

3. At Beloit College...
There are a bunch of bathrooms with poems, Shakespeare, computer code, etc. writen on the walls. I saw one with the Sandscrit alphabet once, too...

5. Greatest political bathroom graffiti from my years:
"Sure, sit down and take a Nixon, but be sure to wipe your Agnew"

I was in primary school during the Nixon era. He's the first president I remember.

7. I taught a class in graffiti in college.
In the men's room at the library, third stall from the door.

Every week I would go in there and grade and critique. I actually had people arguing about their grades...

8. Grades, that's good.
Ours wasn't really graffiti. Photographs, pages from magazines, things written on paper etc.
