@alleekate418: On the T watching a man eat something out of his shoe.
What kind of shoe, I wonder? And are we talking M&Ms or mashed potatoes?
More Muni experiences await your eyeballs — check out the rest in our “100 Days, 100 Muni Stories Muni” celebration. And we still want to hear from you; send us your stories today, ’cause the best ones will be excerpted on a real-life Muni bus ad.
Hey, Muni, you got something, uh, hanging off … right there. No, to the left. No, a little more to the right. There it is.
Camera-ready Christopher sent us this dispatch of a one-car (minus one door) N-Judah:
…some photos of the door that went flying off mid-route that caused yesterdays inbound delay. After they kicked everyone off at Van Ness station, the train then slowly creeped back through the station with the door having been pulled off and sitting in the middle of the carriage. I wish I had gotten a photo of that!
Don’t sell yourself short, Christopher. This is very Hulk Smash to me.
How on earth does this happen?
This iguana is the city’s most famous reptilian Muni customer. He’s even made national news! If you’re not acquainted with Skippy the Iguana, you should be. He’s a full-on service animal for Cosmie Silfa, pictured.
From a 2011 Wall Street Journal (for real) report:
“He cradles him like a baby, a big scary baby,” says Roy Mair, who works the front desk of the subsidized housing unit where Mr. Silfa lives. Mr. Silfa says what qualifies Skippy as a service animal is a letter from the psychiatrist who has been treating Mr. Silfa for depression. The letter says Skippy “helps him to maintain a stable mood.”
Rider @faernworks posted this great photo of Skippy and his main dude.
I would love to meet Skippy someday myself, if he’s not too busy being bigtime. He seems like a real gem, and he’s welcome on my Muni any day of the week.
Update: Looks like we have a spree of spoof ads on Muni! Readers pointed us to Fartine, Du Beers, and some fine Marines. Seen more? Send it our way!
Speaking of, move over, Cum Tums. You could earn a spot on a Muni ad by participating in our 100 Days, 100 Muni Stories drive. Send us your Muni story — from the past or present — today.
Watch out, Wall Street. The taxman cometh.
chewbeezie snapped this one on the Metro. Liz Taylor (is that Liz Taylor?) seemed like an odd addition to this medley. But this is, well, an odd medley. Smile points for this dude.
Well, this is good timing. Yesterday, we posted this dude on the Metro, rocking the sparkles off those heart-shaped sunglasses.
For your consideration, we have another Muni heartthrob above, courtesy of amandarants on Instagram.
What say ye: Who wore it best?
