For all those times Muni told us, ‘Eat me!’


Mango, avocado, hamachi, and the most plentiful, reddest tobiko ever. You have to be OK with tobiko to like this one.

We finally did!

After this post on edible Muni (still gross, and still not what you think), we decided that trying something called a Muni Roll was within the call of duty. We were fully aware that it could come 30 minutes late or not at all, and we braced ourselves for three in a row to show up after we decided to eat something else, instead. Your comments from the previous post still make us laugh.

But, none of those things happened, thankfully. Just a good old-fashioned sushi dinner like the pilgrims had. Give this one a whirl at Crazy Sushi on 16th Street and Guerrero.

Comic book vendor on the 47-Van Ness

Muni rider Charles caught an interesting scene from the back of the 47 last night:

There was a guy attempting to sell comic books and related items to passengers. Periodically, he would hold up things and announce, to no one in particular, the price and perhaps some noteworthy aspect of the items. I wish I could have heard some of his more detailed descriptions, but I was sitting too far away.

Which brings up the question: What else should be sold (legally or not) on Muni?

About those seat ‘butt holes’ on Muni

Muni rider Judy asks the burning question …

Ever since I was a kid.. growing up in SF and riding Muni was the thing to do. However, I always wondered about those silver holes on the base of the seats of every bus. What exactly are they for!? Draining water? In case kids pee? What?!

Not all buses have them, of course. But with all the wet weather as of late, we’re left wondering the same thing. If they are in fact drainage holes, many of them don’t do their job (insert requisite joke about Muni employees here).

What do you think those little holes are for?

Make Your Own Velvet Rope on the Bus

Think it’s hard to get your own seat on the bus? Our brethren in Washington D.C.’s Unsuck DC Metro blog saw someone who, well, took it to the next level. From Unsuck DC Metro:

This past Saturday morning, I boarded the Blue Line train to Largo at Pentagon City and saw this sleeping passenger across the aisle from me.

He had taken his belt off and tied it to the hand rails on his seat and the seat in front of him.

Saw more antics on the bus? I dare say that San Francisco, with Muni presiding, is the capital of bus antics, what do you think?

Caption This Muni Cartoon

What’s happening in this Muni cartoon?

Michael Capozzola, who draws “Surveillance Caricatures” in the San Francisco Chronicle’s 96 Hours section, contributed two cartoons for gallery-goers to caption at the I Live Here: SF exhibit at SOMArts last month. Lots of you joined in on the fun and posted your own caption. Like this one, from someone who called himself “BOSS”:

“WAIT!!! My wife will kill me if I forget the baby on the bus again!!!”

Or, from an anonymous gallery goer:

“Hey wait! The next bus isn’t coming for 78 minutes!”

If you missed the chance to caption this carton in person last month, here’s your chance. Caption this Muni cartoon in the comments section: what’s happening on the 24-Divisadero here?
