You may know Isaac Fitzgerald as the managing editor of The Rumpus, but what you may not know is that he’s got a little hero complex, which got him into a … situation on the 14-Mission. He told the story at Muni Diaries Live a few weeks ago at the Make-Out Room, and we invite you to enjoy his tale in this video.

Nick at Buboblog asks, among other things:
Should small children get dibs on the front seats? And if so, how do they fit into the hierarchy? For instance, do they trump a fairly spry 70-year-old?
If we know you, you’ve got an opinion on this. Weigh in, please, by all means.

There’s a powerful new force on Twitter you should know about. @MUNI_HULK has been smashing pixels on Twitter since late October.
Here’s Hulk’s tweet that goes with the photo above, just to give you a nibble:
“CLIPPER PUT UP XMAS LIGHTS BEFORE THANKSGIVING. HULK HATE COMMERCIALIZATION OF HOLIDAYS.”

*Pardon the all-caps, folks.
Yep. You’re reading that right: Crazy Sushi on 16th Street in the Mission serves up something they call the “Muni Roll.”
So tell us: How long does it take for the chefs to serve this one? What’s it made of? Go nuts, Muni riders!

Anthony saw some shit go down on the 38BX the other day.
So one morning, this young thugged-out kid is wearing that face as the bus approaches the turn, passing his requested stop. He starts freaking out and hitting the back doors … and then poof! The doors open … while the bus is still going about 10-15 mph.
The kid leans out the doors and ponders his next move. Meanwhile, some lady right behind him doesn’t move toward him at all but reaches out her arm and yells, “NOOOOOOOOOOO!” and then he leaps from the bus, tries to land on his feet, and fails miserably.
He does a few rolls and quickly gets up. Luckily, he doesn’t get hit by a car. Then, about 30 feet later, the bus stops at its next scheduled stop. The oblivious driver says, “Did somebody just jump off?” and someone else says, “Yeah, but he’s okay.” And we just keep on truckin’.
