The @munidiaries Twitter feed is a constant stream of the hilarity that happens on your daily commute. Blink and you might miss @thedrun‘s Twitpic of a man puzzled by the bus shelter’s message (above). If you aren’t a Twitter fiend like us (and @munidiaries‘ 3200+ followers), we’ve picked out this week’s most awesome tweets that made us spit out our coffee.

Meanwhile, on @munidiaries…

@danapczynski: Woman on Muni has popeye’s chicken. My repulsion and compulsion are indiscernible

@gamewit: Pretty sure this guy in front of me on Muni chain smokes to cover up his BO.

@misstillytilly: First time riding the 14 muni to the mission, and just saw a hobo pull out a can of beer that was hidden inside his prosthetic arm

@mmmmmria: Just saw a guy pay for muni fare with a balloon animal 🙂

Ok one more:

@jennstover: Someone on muni is wearing toe socks with the toes cut off & flip-flops. This is not ok.

Follow us on Twitter and tweet your Muni ride to @munidiaries. Your tweet might end up here next week!

Should we talk about the weather? Hi, hi, hi

We know what’s on your mind as Friday gets under way. No, not that, you perv. It’s this “weather” we’re having. That thing everyone is either freaking out about or making fun of us for.

This being San Francisco, several citizens have answered the unsolicited call to help us cope with these trying times. Behold, Mat Honan’s Is It Snowing in San Francisco, from which the image above comes.

And the Pepsi to Mat’s Coke, Sean C. send us the following dispatch:

I got bored at work Thursday and threw together a silly site that will be completely irrelevant in a few days. I love it.

Too lazy to look out your window to see if the mythical snow has arrived? Check out Is It Snowing in SF Yet.

So now you’re totally in the know about one of the three topics to occupy all conversations for at least the next 24 hours. Enjoy!

This just in: Reports of SF residents receiving unsolicited, meaningless, and quite puzzling texts from “41411.” We’re having difficulty determining just WTF that is, but here’s a sampling of the messages we received:

41411:: NextBus Alert:

South Lake Union Line
Westlake & Mercer

41411:: NextBus Alert:

2&24min

Rply: 1-30) for alert or S)ave
name

41411:: NextBus Alert:
0 & 7 min
White
MIMOSA

Which prompted this response from us:

STOP TEXTING ME, REMOVE ME FROM THIS LIST

Which got this reply:

41411: Sorry it didn’t work out for you. You won’t recv any further messages from 41411.help@41411.com

Is anyone else receiving these texts? Does anyone know what’s up?

Ski Down the 14-L in Bernalwood

If San Francisco had snow, Bernal Heights would be the perfect ski resort. And its best black diamond ski run? It’s called the 14-Limited, of course.

Todd Lappin at the terrific Bernalwood dreamed up this winter wonderland and named a run after the 14-L:

14 Limited is the mountain’s longest and most challenging run. A steep plunge down Bernal’s northwest face, the ride is as intense as the MUNI bus line from which it takes its name. The line down 14L takes you off the nose at the top of the hill, shooting you through the tree glade below the former roadbed and all the way down to the base of the Stoneman Chair.

Cruise over to Bernalwood to see what the best ski resort in San Francisco looks like, including a view from the top of the 14-Limited. Who knows, it could get cold enough this weekend. I’m ready to wear my best apre-ski outfit to Emmy’s Spaghetti Shack.
