Man tries to get a pony on board U.K. train

Sounds like the first line of a joke, but it actually happened.

Amy at Tiny Rides alerts us to the story of a mysterious man who’s been spotted with his white pony in the Wrexham, North Wales, train station. The video above is taken from the security camera at the station. The pair has also been spotted at hospital and pub, to put it Britishly.

We’ve published many posts showing non-human passengers on Muni. But we’ve never seen one you could potentially use as transportation in lieu of the bus.

What’s Johnny Depp Doing on Muni?

Found on the 27: Jack Sparrow
Photo by Brian

On Friday we posted a photo by Brian of Johnny Depp I mean Jack Sparrow on the 27. Who is this man? We asked Brian and here’s what he had to say:

This is a cellphone picture I took on Wednesday of my new friend, Sebastian Michellod, who stayed with me this week via couchsurfing.org. He is originally from Switzerland, but has been living in Central and South America for the past four years, traveling, making videos and documentaries. More recently, he has been dressing as Jack Sparrow, working his way north to try and meet Johnny Depp (who has been “impersonating him”). He just left for LA to catch the Los Angeles premiere of Pirates 4, and will also be in Las Vegas for another event. He is an amazingly kind and talented person, and I recommend that anyone meet him if provided the opportunity.

According to Sebastian’s Facebook page, his goal is to meet Johnny Depp in Los Angeles. I approve of that goal, Sebastian.

And if you’re at Bay to Breakers, be sure to send us stories and photos of any interesting characters — Jack Sparrow included — that you see on and around the bus today.
