Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Tofu St. John sent us this photo of yet another clever (or weird) use of Muni hand rails. I just hope it isn’t a gross damp gym towel that someone decided to air-dry on the way home (mouth vom!). Remember the days when you thought the rails were just for hanging your dry cleaning? That’s sooo 2010.
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.

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.
