Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
This chicken was granted clemency, it would seem. Muni rider Kevin has the deets:
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?
At the Treasure Island Music Festival last night, during Belle and Sebastian‘s head-lining set, affable frontman Stuart Murdoch asked the audience for fashion tips. It went something like this:
“Should I wear the hat? Well, see, earlier I was on the J-Church and when I got off, I left me hat on board. I tried to knock on the door, but the driver wasn’t having any of it.”
Sound familiar?
Besides being so danceable and amazing, B&S’s set referenced our fair city a couple of times (“Piazza, New York Catcher” and “Sukie in the Graveyard”). He was looking at the rad view of the city from Treasure Island, made even more beautiful by the Giants-orange-lit Coit Tower.
Perhaps one of Murdoch’s thousands of admiring SF fans can urge him to write a song that at least mentions Muni? I can see it, actually. The term “J-Church” rolled off his Scottish lips so easily …

Case in point: The Tenderbloggers turned us on to Tenderloin Geographic Society, specifically two Muni-related posts there.
The first, above, is adorned with the following:
I understand that in some schools, children are made to race in competitions where, regardless of their placement, all receive medals. Who could imagine that the practice continued well beyond the 4th grade?
The second one, well, it’s too good not to force ask you to click on and go read on TGS’s site. So go. But come back? We’ll miss you.
Also, here’s a fun game: Tell us whom you think should receive that trophy up there. Any and all candidates are eligible.
The video won’t make any sense if you don’t have audio on. Turn on your audio, but maybe not too loud. And consider yourself warned.
Muni was a little too forward with Rebecca (@onewomanparty) earlier today:
Forest Hill Station was getting a little nasty this morning. I’ll pay the two bucks, thanks.
What’d you see on Muni today? Share it with your fellow riders.
