    Did the answer was written on the same wall or on something else that was affixed afterward? ‘Cause answering a graffiti by putting up your own seems a bit foolish lol

      I think it might be a spare bit of siding? The lines are vertical and oddly ridged, and if I mentally rotate it, then I see siding. That’s just a guess.

      It’s a metal sided manufactured home . The old lady’s reply looks like two extra pieces of vinyl skirting.

      I’m inclined to agree with The Elf – if you look closely at the tagged section, down below the lower trim, you can see a bit of material of a color and with a horizontal line that closely matches those of the replied-upon scrap.
      Although I would have called it a trailer vs. ‘manufactured home’.
      Of course, now the Crips know where to find a ‘clean’ .38 revolver…

    I don’t see “nervous”. I read that as “nevour”, which my brain automatically translated to “devour”. Crips, I’d watch out for this old lady. She’s got a gun and she’s a cannibal.

    Random graffiti-induced memory…

    When I was in high school, an anonymous person spray-painted the side of a store by my house in my honor. “I LOVE YOU LIL” The owner asked me for names, but I had no idea who would do it (I mean, geez, who DIDN’T have a crush on me?? – like asking me to name the leaves of a very large tree on a spring day) It was there for about 10 years. When my husband and I started dating, I drove him by the old store so he could see that he better not ever take me for granted because he has competition. I credit that little drive for 10 years of wedded-bliss. Graffiti – changing lives every day.

      Little did you know, it was your now husband that originally wrote that on the store. As you drove him by it, he thought to himself, “Yes! That worked!”

      Don’t assume they’re all male. This is 2015, and, hopefully, gangs have now caught up in terms of gender equality.

      Sigh. Let’s be painstakingly politically correct when tailoring an insult on a street gang’s level, by all means.

      And RJH was trying to be sarcastically scolding about the all male thing.

      I don’t frankly have time for total political correctness. And to be honest, The Crips of Crestwood Kentucky doesn’t either. The Crips don’t win anymore. They lose to nervous old ladies with revolvers, they lose to the Home Depot that sells the spray paint. Oftentimes it’s fun, it’s kidding, we have a good time. What I say is what I say. And honestly, Nervous Old Lady, if you don’t like it, I’m sorry. I’ve been very nice to to you although I could probably not be based on the way you treated me, but I wouldn’t do that.

      When a male gang member sucks another male gang member’s dick, he doesn’t do it because he’s gay. He does it because he is the other guy’s bitch. It’s the same as prison sex. Men in prison rape other male prisoners to signify ownership and dominance. In other words, the owner will beat the bitch nigh to death if he doesn’t go along, or perhaps the owner will kill the bitch’s family if he doesn’t go along. So it’s not a gay thing, it’s a “you’re my bitch and I own you because I’m stronger than you” thing.

      And yeah, actually being gay in a gang will get you killed. They haven’t caught up to 2015 yet.

    The Crips gang broke away from the AAARP and they have souped-up motorized wheelchairs and they’re not taking any crap from Nervous Nellie. They know she’s been talking to the po-po about their drug swap meets (trade you Vicodin for Ensure) and Pomeranian dog fights down at the old pool house

    Doggone it, I’ve twice now posted a reply to Beast’s reply with various endings to “Crips gang” and both times it did not go through. :-( And I even tried different computers, clearing the cache, etc.

      My thoughts exactly. I suspect it’s some teenager trying to look “hard core” to his friends.

      I’m no expert on gang tags — do the real crips actually paint “crips gang” on things, or are their tags more… subtle?

    Let’s see, maybe if I do this as it’s own reply it’ll go through -

    Crips gang -

    have terrible penmanship.

    convinced Fox to cancel Firefly.

    watch Glee.

    love Justin Beiber.

    were on the grassy knoll in 1963.

    will spoil Game Of Thrones for you if you cross them.

      Jami, I’m usually a strong defender of books over movie and TV adaptions of books.

      In this case, the show is better, especially as the seasons went on (and the show got better and the books got worse). Now HBO will likely finish the series absent the final book. I can only assume the eventual book will be an adaption of the show.

      Give it a whirl, unless you are one of those people who can’t handle depictions of violence or sex. No judgement if you can’t; some scenes are particularly hard to watch even for those who enjoy TV rated MA.

    • #13.6   Jami

      Sex is one thing – unless anal is involved, I can’t handle that. But I hear they have a graphic decapitation of a horse and other violent animal killings. I just can’t watch that.

      And the books have less rape from what I understand.

      Also George gave the writers notes about what all was going to happen in the future books in case he died before he completed writing them.

    • #13.7   The Elf

      Ah, so also avoid Caligula, the Malcolm McDowell version.

      There are a few scenes involving violence to animals, the one with the horse is particularly bad. So if that’s your hang-up then you’ll either need to watch it with a friend who can tell you when to come back into the room or skip it. I get it. The show isn’t for everyone. But it is better than the books, and I don’t say that lightly.

    Sorry, forgive me for being terribly ignorant and British, but Crips is short for cripples, yes? I think that equal opportunities for the differently abled in gang warfare is an admirable goal.
