Ever the adventurer, Beth Spotswood tells of learning her way around Muni with a good friend. Luckily for all, she recorded the hilarity that ensued.
Watch the video above of Beth telling her story at Muni Diaries Live earlier this month. You won’t be sorry.
Found on Muni by lotuschild.tumblr.com: a beautiful shiba inu!
Given the cultural importance of Doge, though, forgive me if I add some meme-y, Muni-themed pizazz:
Such art.

If Internet, radio, video games, and television suddenly disappeared, we’d still have Muni to entertain us.
For example, the other night, Muni rider Brinn was treated to:
OH: You found your shoes on the corner?!? Be careful they might have twilight zone in them… #livetweeting #muni cc @munidiaries

Then it took a turn south. Literally.

What did you overhear on Muni today?
We really had no idea what was in store when H.P. Mendoza told us he was going to bring his ukulele with him when he returned to the stage at Muni Diaries Live. Boy were we all in for a treat.
Around 2:01, H.P. shared his amazing childhood journal technique, gluing Muni transfers to the pages to denote the date:
He then serenaded (yes, serenaded) us in the most charming way with a song about a bygone era in San Francisco, as seen from inside the 14-Mission. Captured in full in the video above, the song begins around 2:45. Lyrics below.

Muni Haiku Battle has its legs, you guys. At Muni Diaries Live on Nov. 9 (full event recap here), we brought back our reigning, two-time champ James Nestor to square off in a 17-syllable slugfest against MDL favorite Jesse James. Oh, the haiku, they did volley from one microphone to the other and into our ears and psyches forever and ever and ever. Try to unsee, for example, “Neighbor’s Us Weekly holds her interest. Casually she tongues an open sore.”
The vote was close, but Jesse took Round 1. Our champ was down, but not out. Round 2 video below.

The thing is, you can. You can talk to animals. Try it some time.
Via Overheard in SF:
Overheard on Muni: “I wish I could talk to animals. I once had a super awesome connection with a bull. It was intense.”
Oh, wait. A bull???
