Point Shoot Repeat came across this in Forest Hill:
“Not that I’m trying to make this a blog about muni workers doing stupid stuff, but I had to take a picture of this before I banged on the window.”
Not exactly surprising, although the shirt peaking open is quality.

Whisper Shouts, which is a contender for both the best and most ludicrous blog name, reports that this Muni stop is not only among, but the nicest Muni stop in the city.

I sat across from this man on BART on my way home this evening.
He had on tight pants with a few well-placed paint splats, a Native American-inspired knit sweater and a pair of Nikes, mini keg in tow, all of which would suggest hipster. But he was also a bit smelly, nearly toothless and singing to himself, which leads me to conclude homeless. My favorite part of this whole situation, though, is the sign he’s sitting under, imploring me to befriend him. I must admit I was tempted to introduce myself to this gentleman. I mean, come on, who wouldn’t want this guy on their team?

A few weeks back, I came to the horrifying startling realization that the music video for Third Eye Blind’s seminal nineties classic, “Semi-Charmed Life” was shot in the Mission. Today it comes to my attention that the trains in the music video for Janet Jackson’s “All For You” look exactly like Muni Metro trains!
So, it would seem that I have a gift for discovering pieces of San Francisco-related ephemera within pop music videos from the late nineties and early 2000s. I guess it does pay off to indulge one’s semi-embarrassing musical hankerings on YouTube. Does this mean it’s okay to openly appreciate the musical stylings of Janet Jackson and Third Eye Blind? If not the music itself, I think we can agree that the incredibly precise synchronized choreography (in Janet’s case) deserves some serious praise.
