    As the Mighty Boosh would have it – No smoke without fire, Tony. Unless it’s a smoke machine… then it’s dry ice.

    Is this asking Tony to pay ‘our’ (meaning the graffiti artists*) drug debts? Or does ur mean ‘your’ in this instance being Tony?

    Tony should probably sit tight and wait until he’s beaten up. Or maybe they’ll show serious they are by adding a disembodied cock.

    This really annoys me. You’ve gone to a bit of effort. Bought a can of spray paint, snuck around to his house and presented Tony with what you consider an important message.

    One would assume that the debt was significantly overdue and important to the author but for some reason they got halfway through the message and decided it was no longer important enough to write the word ‘your’ in it’s entirety.

    Bad enough already but to try and pass off ‘ur’ as the word ‘your’ when it clearly indicates ‘you are’ is pushing the boundaries of even the loosest forms of written communication.

    If they were short of time, surely they could have dropped the name Tony from the message. Unless there are multiple residents of the house who have significant drug debts, it’s redundant. Even if there are multiple persons, giving them a hurry up as well isn’t going to hurt business.

    I wouldn’t pay on principle.

    pete, without the personalisation it could be possibly be construed as a public service message to the citizens of EVP and hence loses it’s threatening nature:

    eg. Keep Calm and Carry On
    Drive to Stay Alive
    Cunthole Doodle (or is that a teaser ad for that new Rockingham wine bar)
    Pay Ur Drug Debts

    I like it that they still write as if texting, as if that garage door was just a large telephone screen

    I see the Scarsdale suburban guessing game of “is the seemingly respectable next door neighbor a junkie” is equally popular if oddly abbreviated in Perth.

      It also applies toxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx if you live in the Beechboro / Lockridge area of Perth. When we lived over that way he was nicknamed xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx crack dealer due to the amount of neighbours who’d run out to see him, but run back inside minus xxx xxxxxxx each time. They couldn’t always have been 20 cents short.

        Apparently our neighbours used to play that game with our house a couple of owners before we bought it. We found a police search warrant, obviously lost by a previous owner, down the back of the kitchen drawers when we moved in and cleaned up.
