This Graffiti Gets a Gold Star

On the whole, I don't condone graffiti except in cases like Benjamin Herson and Jeff Deck. However, the below form of graffiti is quite acceptable, friendly and welcoming by saying "Hello from California". It was written along a hiking trail in a wall formed by what's left of the 47 feet of snow that fell in Whistler last winter and will likely disappear over the course of the next few days as the snow melts.

Magic Marker

This is a sign marking a hiking trail in the middle of the forest. People can't just leave well enough alone, can they? I mean, really, if you're going to go through the effort of defacing a sign then why not at least draw something funny. Drawing a bottle in one hand, some sort of burning material that's cigarette-shaped in the other hand (we can guess what that is), and putting shoes on him just doesn't cut it. I haven't the slightest clue why he's speaking the makings of a tic-tac-toe board.
