Fashion Digs on Muni
@Dahveee says of the photo above: “Is it just me or is this girl wearing what looks like a chihuahua pelt on #SFMuni? Wow!”
We sure are a snarky bunch here in San Francisco, right?. G’head: Share your best fashion insults in the comments (photos are encouraged).
Muni, the ‘God Damn Loud Talking Bus!!!’
Muni rider Charles shares:
This graffiti, on a 47, reminds me of one of my early rides on Muni. I used to take the 1 to and from work. One night, on the way home, every time there was an announcement, the guy sitting behind me would grumble, “Goddamn talking bus.” The ride home was about 14 blocks, and he was on the bus when I got on and still on it when I got off, so I can only assume that this continued until his destination.
Whatever floats your boat, grumbler.
Jesse, Rosie Perez, and Ron Weasley on a 38-Geary to the Farallons
At last month’s Muni Diaries Live, Jesse shared the story of withering away of innocence when it comes to riding Muni:
I grew up and went to high school in Southern California. I did what everybody else did — I drove a car … I graduated high school and I fled, like crazy. I went to San Francisco State. I didn’t even look at the school — I just knew it was in San Francisco and gay people live there!
And I encountered Muni. I encountered buses, and trains, and trains that did buslike things, and stairs, and all that craziness. I was flabbergasted, to say the least. Riding Muni was like riding a unicorn. It was like, “What??!? I get a transfer? This is so great! $1?” I’m dating myself.
I was that guy on Muni who was so in love with the experience that I was talking to people. I was like, “Oh my god, you shopped today? So did I!”
Watch the video above to hear the rest of Jesse’s gripping tale.

‘Catch a damn cab’
Muni rider Brian says, “Next time you see this, catch a damn cab. Unless you want to be an hour late, that is.”
Maybe central control finds the tracks really tasty, with all those “MMMMMMMMMM”s.
It is rather uncanny, wouldn’t you say? I mean, even by Muni standards.
Bank of America drops “the” from Muni ads
Commenter JC Dill now informs us that the megabank has updated their ads with the correct non-use of the definite article. Or, as Language Logs notes, goes “anarthrous.”
Thanks, BofA, JC Dill, and Language Logs!
