iPad, Muni, everyone, their mother

4 comments

Anyone who spent the tiniest amount of time online this weekend was surely bombarded with some combination of “iPad” … “Easter” … “iPad” … “iPad” … “Final Four.”

The more cynical of us are wondering if when the first iPad theft on Muni will happen. We know that iPhones were getting snatched out of people’s hands on the bus last year, so these lightweight, pricey iPads might be just begging to be lifted. In fact, Jim Herd of SF Citizen bet on tomorrow at 5 p.m. in his office pool. Good luck?

But reader Mary has just the solution for you young and oh-so-connected types: Yes, it’s the urban camouflage iPad case. Mary found this via Makezine.com (pictured above). Mary has this to say:

It’s such a funny combination of cheap, scruffy and old + shiny, new and expensive. I would totally use this to conceal my iPad (my hypothetical iPad) on Muni so no one steals it!

Because, really, what would-be thief would hover above you to see what you’re reading before yanking your Precious away from you?

Muni Metaphors, Part 2: Dating

Last month, we posted a call for metaphors comparing our lovely little beleaguered transit system to, well, to anything readers wanted. We got some nice responses.

But now, over the last 12 hours, we’ve seen a couple show-stopping tweets of the Muni-metaphor variety. They’re both of the same sub-genre:

“muni is like a dude you sleep with once who steals all the covers and keeps trying to have sex with you while you’re trying to go to bed.” by @janee_

and

“Muni is like a dude you wake up to after a drunken night of alchool & thrown up pizza in your bed.” by @moMegs

So it’s time for another request: Single people, recently shacked-up, married, whatever … think of your best or worst dating experiences and compare them to Muni. Okay, GO!
