Cold Case for Police…

You mean it didn’t occur to the Irish cop to offer free ice cream too?

May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

There’s also the word “graffita”. graffita. feminine singular of graffito. That’s from some Italian dictionary that came up when I Googled it.

Graffito, spaghetto, raviolo, paparazzo… the list goes on when having loanwords from Italian.

I’d think ice cream truck music might make some people more aggressive. They might’ve calmed them down quicker with some U2. They might be more universally adored in Ireland than a Good Humor Man jingle playing over and over and…

What does a singular graffito look like?

Quentin Crisp Quote

“When I told the people of Northern Ireland that I was an atheist, a woman in the audience stood up and said, ‘Yes, but is it the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don’t believe?”

And ‘broccoli’ is the plural of ‘broccolo’, and ‘spaghetti’ is the plural of ‘spaghetto’….

Graffito, Graffiti. Duh, Italiano! People wrote that stuff about gladiators in ancient Rome.

We have had more than a few paparazzi on this website.

(In my best Fred Astaire voice), “You say graffiti, I say graffito. Graffiti, graffito, lets call the whole thing off”

And ‘datum’ is the singular of ‘data’.

And graffito is otiffarg backwarrrrrrrd!! ~ Mayor West, easily impressed

Take care, may wide-eyed happy ice cream truck driver entrepreneur Wayne “I Hand Them Their Ice Cream And Tell A Joke And They Threaten To Kill Me But I Remain Hopeful Because Of The Snorted Meth” O’Gawdtheyhavegunsord be with you, and gesundheit.

The “police” in Northern Ireland were actually British Soldiers who ended up killing as many citizens as the IRA did. Read the book “Say Nothing”, about the troubles in Northern Ireland.

One graffiti is a graffito? Show me an example please.

Wish they had thought of that, to play ice cream music, during the BLM riots of 2020.

If we all scream for ice cream,then what do we whisper about?

Plural for idiot is Congress!

In the comic strip, Jump Start, two of the lead characters, cops, drive a specially painted police ice cream truck about town to improve community/police relations. Maybe Memphis, Tennessee ought to try that.

So is Bankso a graffito artist?

I bet they were rioting because there aren’t any snakes in their country so they should figure out a way to provide Ireland with warm temperatures like Florida has and introduce several species of snakes slithering in the wild. That should cheer everyone up.

Their war, or just anyone’s war?

Is there a baseline entity, or fundamental defining type, of “graffitum”?

I think I just uncovered an Illuminato.

But weren’t the Irish rioting because there was an ice cream shortage?

Best graffiti I ever saw was on a bathroom wall. For a bad time call Janet. Ironically, I was on a first date with a girl named Janet that was NOT going well. Since she had suggested the restaurant I couldn’t help but wonder if her last date hadn’t written it. If I’d had a marker I would’ve put Amen below it! First and last date rolled into one disaster…

BTW, Graffito is Italian for “Hey, watcha doing with that spray can?” . BION

Good un’, Tuco!

BTW, in Ireland, they are not called “police”. They are “Garda”

Some countries flags are the same, right side up and upside down.
