The name, Fario, keeps popping up on walls in downtown Toronto. But who is Fario? I first encountered the name last year while standing at the corner of Gerrard and Parliament. Looking up, I saw a big “Fario I fucked your mom.” It disappeared a week later, but not before I immortalized it with my camera:
I wonder what Fario’s mom thinks about this. Or not. Anyways, once I saw one wall, I saw a bazillion of them. Here are some samples from my growing archive …
I have a likely incorrect but plausible-sounding theory: “Fario” is a code word that drug dealers use to indicate the cops are monitoring that particular location for transactions. Sort of like the running shoes tied together and thrown over telephone wires.

Damn, I thought I had a good shot at inventing an urban legend.
I’ll give you another shot tomorrow.
