That there is one well-behaved puppet, you guys. Well, I think he’s well-behaved. Those arms are crossed, politely, right, and not …

And how. Is Kim Jong-un looking for his long-lost buddy Dennis Rodman?

Via chriztmettel: “Only in San Francisco.”

Last week, we learned that “#sfmuni” and “#muni” were the two most popular hashtags around here. I recently went through the @munidiaries archives, and discovered that you guys’ favorite Muni topic was—surprise!—what it smells like.
To honor you, Muni’s smell-reporting set, we bring you the week in Muni smells.
#munismells, anyone?
This week’s roundup brought to you @faithy, @privildeged, @ImekaSF, and @hollyleach. Contribute your Muni stories, smells or other, to @munidiaries. You won’t be sorry.
