Pre-emptive Muni Meltdown signage
A for effort, Muni. Octoferret says, “Metro problems: So common they put up permanent signs for shuttle stops. These are now up at most stops on Market.”
Asses, covered?

Five Muni moments this week

Here are five noteworthy things that happened on Muni this week:
A man bothered to stand up before peeing on the bus. How polite!? A Chewbacca-wielding gentleman hits on fellow passenger. Because, San Francisco. The entire cast of Abercrombie and Fitch, the Movie boarded a Muni Metro train. Random girl wondered whether drug tests are required to take the California bar exam. They should be!? And finally, Rosanna is wondering whether not spilling her morning coffee was worth it, after failing to come up with a reason to talk to the cute guy next to her on Muni.
This week’s Muni moments were brought to you by:

To sleep on Muni, or to dance on Muni? That is the question.
Aw to the yeah! Also: First Vine video that I like. (If you want to see the video on loop, as Vine intends, check it out there.)

Excuse me, sir. You dropped your tempeh burger patty.
Will Tell Muni Stories for BBQ Ribs

Next Saturday at Muni Diaries Live, we’ll trade your great Muni stories for a heaping tray of BBQ, sides, and booze from Southpaw BBQ.
Southpaw BBQ is giving a gift certificate for the best audience storyteller at our show on March 2, which is only nine days away! Southpaw is within stumbling distance from the Elbo Room, so you will be five minutes away from a silver tray of ribs, braised greens, and mac and cheese. The bar’s whiskey selection is totally legit too. We wish we could offer you a bib as you peruse Southpaw’s menu.
So get your advanced tickets right here and we will see you next Saturday, March 2!
