    Piss stain really adds authenticity to the art

      I have to admit that one of the big unspoken perks of home ownership (at least as a penis owner) is being able to piss in the backyard in an emergency and not worrying about a cop seeing you do it.

        You have to worry about cops watching you pee otherwise?

            “Indecent exposure.” They lump you in with people who flash kids in public because you were drunk, had to piss and the bar was closed because it was 2 a.m.

              I’ve often wondered how that ever came to be. My best guess is otherwise people would just use it as an excuse? “No officer, I wasn’t in the bushes pleasuring myself I was just going pee”

            I do a lot of cycling and occasionally I have to emergency piss in weird places. Since I’m also a school bus driver, I have to worry about losing my fucking job because of this.

          On a street corner or in an alley? Yes. I’ve known people who got arrested for that.

        My house only has a front yard and side yards, all fully visible from the street. I have to piss in my sink until my hedges grow in.

    Definitely do NOT get into hobbyist termite breeding and have an accidental containment breach that you tell nobody about.

    That would be crazy. Won’t someone think of the landlords?

      Yeah, it’s “poggers” as the kids say these days. I wouldn’t mind seeing this thing everyday outside my house. Looks fun and friendly. We need more art to cover up all the gray and stale “gentrification”.

      Take back what is stolen. The people running the show weren’t going to give us affordable homes or even allow us a say in our communities. It’s time to stop pretending the assholes sucking us dry deserve any respect and take back our neighborhoods.

      It’s amazing how a little drawing or writing on the wall brings so much ire to the privileged.

    I’m reminded of an old Saints Row 2 mission where somebody needs to tank property values in an area, and so sends you to spray literal shit everywhere.

      Or when in GTA 3 you had to start a gang war or in GTA: Vice City where you started a gang war. All to lower property values.
