  Hilarity ensues when impressionable college start tagging literary references in graffiti across their campus. The underground appeal is part of what makes Thomas Pynchon so powerful to students. There were "muted horns" all over over UCSC when I went to school there.

  Quoted: Starting last weekend, police at the University of California at Santa Barbara began receiving reports from around campus of a particularly academic form of graffiti — red spray-painted allusions to the work of the postmodern author Thomas Pynchon, whose 1966 novel The Crying of Lot 49 is (in typical fashion) a sprawling admixture of paranoia, counterculture and obscure literary references.
