Via @MonkeyFollowing: “On the commute to work on J Muni. Nice graffiti. Only in SF. Love this place.”
We love it too, Brandon.

The Baltimore-based filmmaker has a well-documented love of Muni. In fact, he made our day recently when he wandered into our inbox:
Tell them thanks…I am waiting for Muni to hire me as their spokesperson!!
What say, SFMTA? I think you should take him up on it.
This post and other have been selected to be part of our 100 Days, 100 Muni Stories feature that celebrates Muni’s centennial this year. The best four of these 100 posts will end up on ads on all Muni buses later this year, so send us your story today!

Then, @SF_CableCar offered this suggestion:
Fun! Maybe you should start a section dedicated to unusual happenings in the accordion part of the bus & call it ‘The Accordion Files.’
Cable cars have the best ideas. Ask and ye shall receive.
Forget the back of the bus; sit in the gooey center and tell us what’s happening in it. You, too, might find great shoes or, as Jeff did a few years ago, a guy who rubs his snot on the handrail. Ew!
This idea couldn’t have come at a better time. On the 38 recently, I sat in the accordion and wondered what would happen if I and the three others had to make like Sandra Bullock and save the bus or even the world. Indeed, what if I, the lady praying her rosary, the girl with 80 shopping bags in the aisle, and the impeccably dressed older gentleman were humanity’s only hope? The accordion does wacky things to a lone rider with a dead phone.
Though we may never see that level of excitement, we still want to hear about it. Email us, tweet us @munidiaries, or chat us up on the Muni Diaries Facebook Page.

New year my ass, because this guy is still full of holiday cheer. I swear, the most interesting things happen in the accordion part of the bus.
Thanks for the pic, Max!

Now that we’re all back in work mode (or slowly but surely finding our way back into it), happy 2012! Max sent us this cool photo, snapped at 12 a.m. on 1/1/12.
This is Muni’s centennial year, making me wonder if it gets self-conscious about big birthdays. What should Muni knock off its bucket list before the big 100 in December?
