Video: What Not To Do When You See a Muni Cutie
Like, don’t do this (a scene from the video).
Come on, New Yorkers. If you must write notes, try it this way (via @LindapopSF‘s blog, Popup Poems).
Much better.

Needles on Muni for the Holiday Season

Not those needles.
Ever since @sabrinabot tweeted this:
for some, red cups signify the start of holiday season. for me it’s knitters on the muni. saw two today, the holidays can begin!
…we’ve seen our fair share of them, too. With less than two weeks to go, I expect to see even more commuting elves working on handmade projects.
Since we do live in Scarf City, Fogland USA, knitting is a popular transit pastime year-round. Just ask Hooked on Muni (great name), every mischievous devil on International Yarn Bombing Day, and the good citizen who knitted coozies for the shelter seats, pictured above.
How’s your handmade holiday project going? Send us your knitted-on-Muni creations or your pics of the knitting elves. Spin your yarn (HAHA) to muni.diaries.sf@gmail.com.

DavityDave says, “He woke up long enough to ask what time it was on a fully packed trained, then went back to sleep.”
We just wonder who brought the shopping basket on Muni.

I met you on the bus. Will you marry me?

A few years ago I was waiting to catch the 1-California home from work when I saw a girl with glasses who immediately stood out in my mind. Looking back I have memories of thinking something like, “That’s a girl I could see standing next to me for the rest of my life.” Soon after that I noticed she also rode the same Golden Gate Transit bus I rode to San Rafael for work. Quite a few times we’d stand next to each other waiting for the 1, me trying to appear like I wasn’t paying attention to her. This tandem bus ride schedule went on for a couple weeks, but eventually I stopped seeing her on the bus.
A number of months and a relationship came and went. From time to time I’d wonder what happened to the bus girl. One day she appeared on my Golden Gate Transit bus. We began to smile at each other every now and then, but still we generally acted like we didn’t know the other was there. This game went on for a while, but eventually I decided it was time that I actually said hello to the bus girl. One day I sat down next to her on the bus. In my best I’m-not-trying-to-hit-on-you voice said, “Hi, I’m Cameron. I feel like we should know each other.”
I later learned that for that year and a half of talking about the “bus girl” with my friends, her friends had been calling me “bus boyfriend.” People like to give us a hard time for taking so long to say hello to one another, but we agree that we’re glad it took that long. We both changed a lot in that year and a half, every bit of it getting our personalities in just the right place for when we finally did meet.
Here are more images from his paper-proposal:

I’ve run out of ways to say “rad.” Congrats, Cameron and fiancée!
Muni Seat Diaries: What’s that between my legs?
You always check your seat on Muni before sitting, right? Well, have you ever seen anything like this waiting for you? Don’t think you could brush this away and Purell up afterwards.
Also, too: Penises sure do make their share of appearances on Muni Diaries, don’t they? Odd, that.
