The first person to take the K and the R out of Burger King and turn it into Bugering will be the winner from me.

Or the B and R out of In N Out Burger to make In N Out urge.

That made me think of In N Outrage.

Which would be a fantastic chain of drive-through psychiatrists.

I like this task less and less, the more I see people doing regular vandalism in connection with SF0.
It seems like some people aren't reading beyond "Vandalize... graffiti... 15 points".

Not to sound like too much of a guru, but I do like to think that when players complete a task, we should increase the net level of creativity/fun/interestingness in the world. The best completions are the ones that generate fun-ness not just for the players ourselves, but for everyone who encounters what we've done.
While some of the completions here have been rather clever (in my opinion) -- there have been several that were quite frankly inconsiderate in their disregard for private property, not to mention failing to be the least bit clever -- and I think that reflects poorly on this site. SF0 should encourage creation, not destruction.

Private property

I agree to the fullest extent about not encouraging destruction. However, the "vandalism" of "public" property does not quite step into the domain of destruction, especially when the "vandalism" has meaning or beauty. I created a 10 page long stencil that took 7 hours to cut to that effect. Looking over to my door, it says: "Disclaimer: This art has been placed her at the risk of those involved to send a message, express thought, or create beauty. Subsequent removal, destruction, or defacement of these works of art as strictly prohibited and punishable under natural law. Those who endeavor to destroy what we have worked to create are doing no more than suppressing free expression and thought, and ultimately making the surrounding area LESS beautiful.

If art is a crime, we'd rather be GUILTY."

Also, in regards to generating fun-ness for players, nothing makes me happier than seeing tasteful, meaningful, or beautiful graffiti or vandalism, and I know many people who have the same sentiments. The nature of graffiti is one of the most subjective and controversial things that I've ever encountered in my conversations with people, and it should be recognized as such.

Also, "regular" vandalism is fun. It is a great group building activity, it gives some degree of risk and adventure to your life, it gives another avenue for artistic/poetic/egotistical expression, and it gives something to occupy otherwise boring moments of our life with something that damages our kidneys that *isn't* a controlled substance.

Finally, public property does not stand in the "private" domain, and large slabs of pink/grey/white concrete/brick/drywall should not be "protected" so vehemently as a integral part of urban beautification when somebody takes the initiative to make an aesthetic judgment and beautify it in a new and interesting way.

While I do not agree with your general philosophy, it does seem well thought out, and I concede that upon further reflection, your points strike me as not entirely without merit.
Although I may disagree with what you say, sir (to paraphrase Voltaire) -- I shall defend your right to say it.

I'm not sure...

Geeky = clever?

i once was walking down the street here in st. louis, and as i passed a mcdonalds i noticed that somebody had taken the words "BIG N' TASTY 99 (insert cents sign here, can't find it on the keyboard)" and changed it to "BIG NASTY 69 (and the cents thing again)". I'll never forget it. very very clever.
