The World Series Begins: Go, Giants!

October 27, 2010 jeff Leave a comment

Baby Kimmy and mom Shirley spotted on an inbound M-Ocean View.

Jackelyn is out surveying the scene on Muni ahead of Game 1. Above and below are some shots she captured.

Not crowded just yet, but the energy is off the charts!

The crowds on an inbound T-Third around 230 p.m.

Below, from @ChrisGembinski, “Even Muni is cheering on @SFGiants”

AgentAkit took the next photo in 2002, the last time the Giants went to the World Series. Of course, Muni Diaries hadn’t been launched at that time. And some of you probably didn’t live in SF yet.

Akit says, “On the second night [of the ’02 series], the train going home was crowded, but someone on the train started singing ‘Bye Bye Baby’ and everyone on the train sung along.” Sadly, that Giants team ended up losing the World Series.

Check out these photos of Giants fans on Muni from last weekend, when the team won the National League pennant. If you have pictures of Giants fans on Muni before or after today’s game, send them our way!

And here’s hoping Muni runs smoothly (heh) and the Giants do a better job this time!

All right. We’ve talked about guys who sit on the bus with their business splayed. You know, the two-seat-takin’, man-sittin’ guys. But rider Joey saw a fellow passenger on the 45 last week who took it to the next level: taking up three seats and giving her a special view first thing in the morning on her way to work.

What was this guy thinking?! Actually, we know:

“What do you want from me? I’m a guy. Yeah, a big honkin’ guy, and that’s why I just gotta sit here next to you with my legs spread wide apart because I have this equally big honkin’ mass between my legs. I can see you’re aggravated that my right thigh is on my seat and yours, but what can I do? Get a smaller package? You’ll have to ask god about that one.”

(We miss you, Muni Mind Reader!)

In the mean time, dear Sirs Spread-A-Lot, please remember: Don’t be a space evader:

Chicken’s day out (not that chicken)

October 22, 2010 eugenia Leave a comment

This chicken was granted clemency, it would seem. Muni rider Kevin has the deets:

I saw this chicken contentedly stowing a ride in a passenger’s jacket on the F. The man and his female companion appeared to be homeless, or at least the leathery orange skin and general funk made me think they had spent a lot of time outside without baths lately. The woman became agitated when another passenger joked about frying the chicken up. She complained to the chicken handler that this was “like talking about frying up a dog.” So apparently the chicken was not intended for consumption.

As can be seen in the photo, the man gradually fell asleep, hunched over with the chicken in his lap. When their stop arrived, the woman had some trouble waking him. Strangely, the bird didn’t seem to mind being slept upon.

See how fun it is to share your Muni stories?
