Creepy Doll, 1; Rained-On Muni Riders 0

First, there was Asylum, then there was Poltergeist, then there were probably some other movies with creepy dolls, and then there was this.

Jesse says: “There were a TON of people at the stop (Divis and Geary) AND it was raining, but no one was sitting down…everyone was keeping a healthy distance from that little monster.”

Jesse always makes us laugh—especially when he’s performing at Muni Diaries Live—but this is the first time he has for real creeped us the eff out.

Muni Vine: Enter subway. Exit tunnel.

Have you heard of Vine? It’s the latest, greatest Internetsy thing sweeping the nation world since … a couple weeks ago.

The idea is that Vine hosts six second-long cinematic wonders that display on loop. And since Vine is a Twitter product, errybody gets to marvel at your hard work. It’s iOS-only now, so if you have an Android or mobile device that isn’t Apple, you’ll just have to wait.

Ron (@mrp) posted the Vine video above to @munidiaries.

What do you think? Likey? No likey?

28-19th Avenue passenger rides the bus hard

Helen describes the scene above.

This guy was listening to his boombox with headphones on the 28. And jamming out. Hard.

Boombox and headphones. Boombox and headphones … maybe his jams were so loud, like a helicopter passenger, he had to cover his ears to protect them and be able to communicate with fellow passengers …

Ah, never mind. I give up.

Helen dropped this one into our Diaries submission box. Now it’s your turn to share!

The NYC Subway, a Horrible Place for Bad Ideas

Had it with the transit poop talk? Well, we’re not quite there yet. Definitely not, if there’s a strange utterly mind-boggling story involved.

According to Gawker, a New York man was killed last month after he fell onto the tracks while trying to create a makeshift toilet between two cars of a moving subway.

The story gets ever weirder. Shortly before that, another man was found in the same station, bloodied, with “severe buttocks injuries” and a broken pelvis. Police believe he had climbed up from the tracks and although it was unclear what exactly happened to him. He was, most certainly, very drunk.
