The “Middle” “Man” on Muni
As @KelseyAvers says, “Too cute. The kid in the middle kept trying to push his brother and sister off of him.”

Riding Muni with Skippy the Iguana
This iguana is the city’s most famous reptilian Muni customer. He’s even made national news! If you’re not acquainted with Skippy the Iguana, you should be. He’s a full-on service animal for Cosmie Silfa, pictured.
From a 2011 Wall Street Journal (for real) report:
“He cradles him like a baby, a big scary baby,” says Roy Mair, who works the front desk of the subsidized housing unit where Mr. Silfa lives. Mr. Silfa says what qualifies Skippy as a service animal is a letter from the psychiatrist who has been treating Mr. Silfa for depression. The letter says Skippy “helps him to maintain a stable mood.”
Rider @faernworks posted this great photo of Skippy and his main dude.
I would love to meet Skippy someday myself, if he’s not too busy being bigtime. He seems like a real gem, and he’s welcome on my Muni any day of the week.
Muni Adbusted Yet Again: Du Beers
Well lookee there. What started out as a one-off Tuesday morning on Muni Diaries seems to be in the midst of going viral locally.
Previously, we brought you “Cum Tums” and “Fartine.” The local internet happened upon another: an ad for “Du Beers”(diamonds), with the adbusted ad slogan, “Slanging blowjobs since 1927.” That’s a lot of diamonds, a lot of money, and a lot of blowjobs. Eighty-five years’ worth, in fact.
It’s becoming clear that this is a concerted effort by someone or some group. Maybe the assholes who smashed windows in the Mission a couple of weeks ago have taken up non-violent protest? In any case, carry on, y’alls!

Muni Trivia: Spot the Inaccuracies
Step right up, boys and girls. Guess the most inaccuracies in the photo and you win … a giant stuffed Muni bear*?
No, really though, see how many of signage inaccuracies in Octoferret‘s photo you can spot.
* When we really have a stuffed Muni bear, we’ll let you know.
Photo Diary: No Escape
My caption to goofcitygoof‘s photo would be: “I always feel like … somebody’s watching me.” What’s yours?
