But he sure does have bags under his eyes...

Sorry folks, I am just getting carried away in Roman random-ness. Hot on the tail of yesterday's weird sign, I bring you this poster that I've seen on a few buildings around my neighborhood for several months now:

I promise you that my neighborhood is not super-infested with both graffiti AND random posters. At least not any more so than any other Roman neighborhood. It's just that I tend to have an eye for these things, and I've noticed a phenomenon in many big cities that I can only refer to as something like "urban inside jokes," and Rome is certainly no exception. You'll find weird posters, stenciled-on symbols, pictures, and messages on random buildings, street corners, lamp posts, etc., and unless you're in on it, well, you're left to wonder. Maybe that's part of the thing--you're supposed to wonder, and then go discover what it all means for yourself. BOH.

So, here I'm wondering: Just WHO is Untho? And WHY is he never tired? What's his secret? I mean, he looks kind of grumpy if you ask me, maybe he does need a little sleep after all. Maybe he just needs to eat a good, old-fashioned Roman supplì. Hint, hint... have I got a post for you...
