ted bundy Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 when these fr8 guys say they are benching it really sounds gay .there is no bench. these guys {myself included} have never chilled at a real writers bench in a subway system. and its wak to call walking into a safe yard to look at what might as well be rolling legal walls benching. now dont get me wrong i love fr8s but their pretty damn easy to hit and just the word benching being thrown around i dont know its just sounding waker and waker.haha actually i only hear it from kids on this site so who cares. ya i was benching today behind the paper mill in idaho at the writers bench then we went over near the dead tractors and benched over there until the bench broke now were gonna build a new bench outta pipes and stuff .

taper Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 i think it is fine. if you think it should be changed try "standing or sitting" or watching or flicking or fuck yourself. just because you dont actually sit at a bench you dont have to rename it. take flying for example you are not ACTUALLY flying you are in a airplane that is so should you rename it to sitting in a aircraft traveling to your destination? mabe this doesnt make sense but my point is thats the word coming from history and it is fine regardless if it sounds stupid or gay to you. thats just the way the cookie crumbles....... hey mabe that should go into the quote thread;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taper Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 and the futhermore i just want to say the whole thread and shit is gay and so is your name and the comment about idaho and paper mills and pipes and shit was way out of context because noone talks like that and therfore the wor bench as you used it in you example was wrong and out of context so your entire post has abosolutely no basis what so ever. so fuck no not today thank you knidly...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dusty Lipschitz Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 i actually agree with asolo wholeheartedly and have for a while, just never thought of starting a thread over it, but i agree i think it takes away from the nyc writers from the 70s and 80's era and their efforts and experience the exception is cleantrains, wherever they are it falls in line with another gripe of mine. when a writer passes, how everyone and their mother comes out and does huge prodos, or wholecar, in their name. never having ever met them or whatever. just seen their flicks online or in a mag. no disrespect for those who have passed, and some who may have never met them are actually moved by their death. but most times, in both cases, i think it's a weak attemt for kids to try and grab on to the whole graffiti thing. a vain attempt to be a part of. ok. im done.

NOVAGIRL Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 well let the bitching begin... i think people coming out of the fuckin woodwork when a writer passes is like the country pulling together when a pres. bites it even if the didn't vote or voted against. people just want to show their grief and partake in the mourning...human nature is good for that shit i don't bench i flik...

SteelUnion25 Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 I think its wack to be talking about this. Since when did every little "graffiti term" have to be "PC". Oh we shouldnt say "bomb" now because people might get their feelings hurt, oh we shouldnt say "benched"!!! Oh OOH!

Smart Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 you are such a kook son, no matter how chill the spot, the fact remains that painting on trains is illegal. So, any comparison to painting legal walls falls flat. A 'Writer's Bench' doesn't have to be in a subway station, it doesn't even need a bench. It's a just generic term for meeting place or a spot where you can see graff roll past. Leave it alone. Stick to trying to impress your friends with the old: Why do we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway? oh, and lay off the cough syrup, seriously man.

dukeofyork Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 while i have wondered why it is still called benching (i call it trainspotting more often than not) who died and made you god? saying that fr8s are wack just cause youre too stupid to paint them? why dont you build yourself that bench you were talking about, and put one of those pipes sticking up so you can sit on it.

ted bundy Posted November 29, 2001 Author Share Posted November 29, 2001 well let me just say fr8s are fresh theirs no doubt about that . they are the shit but their somewhat easy and a lot of kids hitting mad freight never bomb and its kind of taking a easy way, out in a way.

taper Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 hmmm taking the eazy way out huh? well i think that arouses a whole nother point kiddo and it is not worth really going in depth about but i will scratch the surface on this "multi questioned topic" it seems to me you contradict yourself a few times which shows me that that is a lack of understanding on your part. if you felt so compelled to post an entire thread on a nonsense subject than you are an idiot. obvisouly you are because you did. if theese things bother you enough to put them on here man i thnk your are seriously fucked in the head. why let it piss you off? i dont get it . another thing is if the kids have nothing to bomb like say you live in a remote place in canada or even the usa you may not have a major city to bomb. if you dont then fr8s are your only alt. and if you say paint walls then you get shit for not getting up painting what few walls under bridges you have. although i do somewhat agree with you but speaking for all of the fr8 population dsay that only paint fr8s is a matter of choice on their part. i hate to be so honest but i dislike bombing and since someone by the name of mook pretty much ruined it it just rteinforces that i paint fr8s at least 5 times a week. i love fr8s and even if i could bomb all the time id still paint them all the time i just prefer to paint them. so in conclusion i deem you a selfish pissed off (and for no reason) toy so fuck you you bitch thats my word.....

usedtolove Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 hehe yes...fuck parking....i hate walking to and from the spot wrecks my nerves..in alot of places freights are very very easy.some its a mission,but regardless,its not legal and if you got caught,peicing at some easy daytime layup,which can happen,you will be in alot more trouble probaly then if you did a hollow on the side of a building or painted a burner under a bridge.. thats true.. as far as the term benching....its a throw back term..that stuck and is now part of the culture and a writers vocab... thats how cultures work...it seems write to me. have a nice day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukeofyork Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 while some may feel that it takes away from the experience of late 70's early 80's sub cars, why should the term for watching trains (be they fr8s or clean trains) be changed? its still basically the same thing. if i could paint clean trains, believe me, i would be. i would LOVE to paint sub cars on a regular basis, but it just ISNT happening. so fuck it, i paint fr8s, theyre trains too. and what gets me amped is catching short lines or rare cars from canada or the west coast at our spots out here. or catching a burner IN PERSON from an area i might never get to go to. would you rather see a famous piece in person, or in a magazine? its a completely different experience to catch pieces in person, fr8s, walls, clean trains, whatever...with fr8s, they are more likely to come to you if you know where to wait. while i havent been painting fr8s but for maybe 4 years, heavily the last 2 years, this is a big movement in graff right now, and its a good time to be out there. benching is here to stay! lemme get a gatorade and some cool ranch doritos and ill be chilling out in the countryside.
