Etiquette Inbox: Front seats for riders with kids?

Nick at Buboblog asks, among other things:
Should small children get dibs on the front seats? And if so, how do they fit into the hierarchy? For instance, do they trump a fairly spry 70-year-old?
If we know you, you’ve got an opinion on this. Weigh in, please, by all means.

MUNI HULK!
There’s a powerful new force on Twitter you should know about. @MUNI_HULK has been smashing pixels on Twitter since late October.
Here’s Hulk’s tweet that goes with the photo above, just to give you a nibble:
“CLIPPER PUT UP XMAS LIGHTS BEFORE THANKSGIVING. HULK HATE COMMERCIALIZATION OF HOLIDAYS.”

Weekend Photos: Until Next Season, Giants

That said, I jumped at the chance to do this post today after Eugenia forwarded me some more photos showing people on Muni going to the parade or celebrating on Monday night (see below). It really was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, being here when the team won the World Series. So one last time, I just want to say: Congrats to the team.
Tonight, we’ll be at Julie Michelle‘s i live here: SF art opening at SOMArts. Julie is amazing. Her work is amazing. This show is gonna be through-the-roof amazing, celebrating one of the best reasons to love this city: its people. If you can’t make it tonight, the show will stay up until Nov. 30. Oh, and also, too: Muni Diaries will be hosting a night at Julie’s show on Nov. 17. We invite you to come share your stories with us in person. Stay tuned for more details.
There was also an election this week, I think.

Edible Muni? (not what you think)
Yep. You’re reading that right: Crazy Sushi on 16th Street in the Mission serves up something they call the “Muni Roll.”
So tell us: How long does it take for the chefs to serve this one? What’s it made of? Go nuts, Muni riders!
