Because I think this should be in the house.

Hang it in the bathroom facing the toilet so everyone has to look at it while they take a dump.

If I had that kind of money to blow right now It would own one.

Everyone should have a Carpathian in the house.

In painting form or in real life?

Please do this....and that poster is awesome.

Hmm, there's a 24" X 36" version of the picture on Amazon. I wonder where I could sneak that into the house.

Y'all made it sound like it was pricey, $135 is pretty reasonable
Tempted to buy it just to get a giant tube in the mail

That reminds me. My house is partially decorated with album covers, usually somewhat appropriate to the room they are in. Couldn't come up with any ideas for the bathroom, so I had Molly Hatchet's "Flirtin' with Disaster" album on the wall in there. Last time the room was painted, it mysteriously didn't make it back onto the wall...

I know someone that has a Lionel Ritchie poster above their toilet.

Also, is it weird that I'm actually watching Ghostbusters right now?

No, I'm just broke. I don't have ten dollars to blow right now. That 135 may as well be 135,000.

Best bathroom poster I ever saw was one that had Kevin Sorbo holding a Yorkshire terrier. Made peeing a little difficult.

She really wants the poster, she's just afraid she'll swoon every time she looks at it. Buy it, she'll thank you.

$135 is quite reasonable for an art print, especially one 4'x7' on banner material.

The decor in a Jimmy Johns bathroom actually is the best.

Eastsidemav, yours is an easy problem to solve. You need Who's Next to hang in the bathroom. Also, as a bonus, The Who rhymes with the loo.

To the OP, who knew there was a Ghostbusters 2? I had no idea who the poster guy was until I read the link.

I assumed it was Klaus Kinski's character from Aguirre, The Wrath of God

while I was working on my senior art project in college, I made a poster from a screen cap similar to this one and hung it in our suite's common room. It did not go over well with my suite mates.

Now I'm thinking I should have put it in the bathroom, above the toilet...

Brilliant. I have that on CD but may have to hit up the used record store, and see what it costs.

Oh, and my wife vetoed Vigo in the bathroom. She's concerned it might cause gastrointestinal problems. I may still have to pick up a poster and hang it somewhere else in the house or garage.
