And that graffiti is carved in, it's not like conservation can even really remove it like they could if it was paint or marker.

Oh man, I completely believe it. The worst thing is that most guards/museum personnel in NY state aren't allowed to physically stop a visitor from doing something like that, so all you can do is tell them to stop. In our museum we have a section of guards who are also licensed by the NYPD who are allowed to physically…

I tell horror stories about museum visitors all the time and people are shocked. Seriously, in 9 years of retail/customer service, I have never had people be as awful/say such nasty things as I have had to deal with working VS (honestly, our pay-as-you-wish policy also makes people super, super entitled about…

Yeah, Hannibal is definitely on my to-watch list. I've only heard good things.

I work at museum (doing visitor services stuff, nothing fancy) and I was walking through the Egyptian galleries and a little boy was attempting to climb on a statue of a lion and the parents were just staring at him, watching. I alerted the security guard and when he yelled for the kid to get down, the parents seemed…

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'll at least watch the first episode, mostly because I'll watch anything with Zoe Saldana in it.

Also, what's with this trend with taking older horror movies and turning them into TV shows? (Bates Motel, Hannibal, and now this).

See, I often find women's restrooms to be even more disgusting. Especially bar restrooms at like 2AM where it just seems like every female customer is unable to not pee all over the everything. Different people have different experiences.

I never understand the point of gendered individual bathrooms.

Ugh. I can't edit comments anymore (DAMMIT KINJA), but I realized I put the second set of quotation marks in the wrong place. My bad.

Oh man, I work at the Met which is right at the end of the parade route. Do you know how many people are going to bitch at me about paying for a ticket cause "they just need to use the bathroom tomorrow." That's nice that you're going to the parade. I don't see why that means the museum owes you a place to pee.

This entire thread has made me really hungry.

The groom's surprise bris is next week! Shush! You'll ruin the surprise!

Oh man, that unicorn has some serious gastric problems.

THIS IS THE HARD HITTING JOURNALISM THAT WE DESERVE.

I did a summer acting workshop in high school, and we were all just hanging around between classes one day when the topic of periods came up. I remember one boy saying that "periods are way worse for guys than they are for girls" and he just got the death glare from all of the girls.

Years later, I cannot remember his…

Oh noes! It was totally up your alley, it had all the costumes which I think you would have gotten a real kick out of. If you've got a non-doxxing e-mail I can send you some of the pictures if you're interested.

Kingsley is great.

Those banners are gorgeous. I wish the House Martell one had the words though, because they are the most badass.

Hahaha, I went to that exhibit too. It was great!
