Video: NYC subway riders menaced by large rat


New York City commuters turned pretty much hysterical this week after spotting a large rat scampering around their subway car. According to the New York Daily News, the rodent boarded the downtown A train during the morning commute, leaving riders trapped on the train with it as they traveled through a tunnel. A pretty amusing video uploaded by one of the passengers shows fellow riders standing on their seats and shrieking.

Guess living in a big city doesn’t make you immune to some things. Let’s cross our fingers that this never ever happens on N-Judah.

When you can’t wait until 8 a.m. to crack open a cold one

It’s 7:50 a.m. somewhere!

From pregame PBR on the J-Church to busting open the Anchor Steam party box a little early, Muni riders arguably need a fix the most. In case we needed to prove it further to jaded New Yorker Anthony Bourdain, who said of SF, “…underneath a gossamer-thin veneer of granola is, in fact, a two-fisted drinking town.”

Happy Friday, whenever you decide to crack one open.

Muni Haiku Battle Showdown this Saturday!

This Saturday marks the return of our Muni haiku battle between reigning champion Jesse James and first-time challenger Ed Casey of @BARTDiaries. Will Ed’s 17 syllables include the material from naked twerking on BART? We can only hope.

Here’s a video from the last Muni haiku battle, where two-time champion James Nestor battled Jesse in a very close fight.

See the battle go down this Saturday, April 5, at Muni Diaries Live at the Elbo Room! Get your advanced tickets.

Muni Haiku Battle is a spawn of Tourettes Without Regrets. If you haven’t seen Tourettes, you gotta go!

For something that often really, really sucks, Muni is such a great source of comedy. Tragic comedy, to be sure.

  • Lady across from me apparently never taught to sit properly in a skirt. Every time I look up I get panty flashed. #munidiaries
  • Did I just watch this fool toot some blow on the bus?!! #SFMuni #smh #ppltoday
  • OMG #sfmuni smells like someone took toejam, shoved it in their ass, scraped it out, vomited on it, spread it on the bus [ed note: oddly and amazingly specific!]
  • dude just popped open a huge bottle of wine and took the longest drink from it!! That’s one way to take the J! #HumpDayFun
  • “He only has two teeth left. It’s not really fair to knock out his only remaining teeth” – on #sfmuni just now

This week’s hilarity sprung forth from the great minds of @goldfine, @RGB_SINCE1981, @ProgressingSF, @SuperDee75, and @Brocheh. Don’t be stingy: Share your Muni giggles over at @munidiaries.
