Saw a drywall patch in a Portland cafe that looked like a cartoon explosion
I was grabbing coffee at that place on 3rd and Burnside, and right above the pastry case was this patch job. It wasn't just a bad tape job, it was a full-on 3D mushroom cloud of joint compound, maybe 18 inches wide. They'd painted over it, but you could see every lump and ridge clear as day. Has anyone else seen a repair so bad it became a landmark?

Right? It's like they're trying to make art by accident. I feel like I've seen that exact same lumpy cloud shape in three different apartments I've lived in.

Oh my god, yes! I saw something just like that in the bathroom of a bar on Hawthorne. It was this huge, bumpy patch over a hole, and they just slapped some paint on it. It looked like a weird topographical map of the moon. I actually point it out to friends now when we go there.
