More People on the Bus
After my last post, RD sent me an email to tell me about a type of character she runs into all the time. I thought I'd put her comments up as this separate post.

The People on the Bus
Look, I'm the first to admit how lucky I am on my commute. I get to take an *express* bus. That takes away 90% of the riff-raff right there. And usually, there are quite a few hotties on my bus (mmm 1BX).
But I still like to make fun of people you see on both the express and "local" busses. I wish I had pics for this, but I haven't been able to sneak any lately.
Today I'll point out two generic types a la In-N-Out Burgers-- aka Animal Style:

You're the Man now, Dog!
I have all these unfinished blog posts that I keep meaning to flesh out and post on the site, but I keep forgetting to do so. But recenlty I saw that the WSJ had a mention of two sites I like to visit- 4chan and YTMND (you're the man now dog). I've written about YTMND before and had been working on a top 10 list of my favorites recently because some friends of mine and I were discussing this on IRC. But then again, my non-IRC friends think YTMND is stupid. Hopefully this list will change your mind (take the time to let the sites load, oh and wear headphones). My top ytmnd sites in no particular order: Tom Jones alarm simple and funny Latarian (2) great how fast they turned that news story into two quick sites (I can't find the other one I was looking for). Also, after that incident Latarian beat up his grandmother over some chicken wings in Target (I think). nedm inuit NEDM is it own ball of wax, but that one cracked me up. 300 roof is on fire There were more than 300 parodies of 300, and they burned out quickly, but that one's good. Cosby Bebop to this day, cosby's famous speech to parents continues to provide fodder- and that one is pretty creative for the source anime material . . . Excalibur (let the boy try)this one is just too great 60 minutes Slayer warns us of a tornado, not that original, but there's something about those short and simple ones. . . . And there's also the medieval meme that cracks me up on occasion (1 2) What are your faves? I know Errick, if he's out there, loves the Raptor Jesus sites. . .

Raccoons in my trash bins!
This is for Jim C- The SF Gate has an article about crews of recycling bandits in SF. As the article says -
Though the men didn't knock over the bins or leave other trash in their wake, some San Francisco residents say they know when the recycling bandits are on the march when they see tipped-over cans and litter strewn on the ground and hear clanks of bottles and cans at 3 a.m. One waste company says it has received 20,000 complaints of curbside recycling theft in San Francisco.In my hood, it used to be that one older woman would go around and get the bottles and cans out of the recycling on Thursday evenings (not 3am). But the past few months, I have noticed the "crews" running through. Maybe there will be a gang war of recyclers. They can organize the gangs based on which kind of glass they recycle- brown glass, clear, or green. But so help me god, if they start singing at 3am and wake me up again I may have to get a pellet gun. . . 01 Jul 13:15 | /humor | 4 comment(s)

Slippery When Wet
Today I was walking from the bus stop to work and realized that the line outside the Peet's wasn't too long yet. It usually goes out the door and around the building. I was getting there just as it was going out the door so I thought I'd get a cup there as I didn't get a chance to pull a shot of espresso at home. So as I'm standing there behind a tall banker, I kind of tripped on the wet sidewalk tiles as we were scooting up. I didn't fall, but my shoes made a noise. He looked up at the noise. He kind of looked around conspiritorially and said- "Yeah, you've got to be careful- they wet all the sidewalks down when they sweep in the morning," he leaned in more and added, "because they piss and poop on the sidewalks." He nodded towards some homeless people over by the bank. "At my building over there, they have to sweep out near the wall in particular way back by that bush because it's hidden so well and they poop over there because no one can see them." I said, "yeah, I've seen it more out in the open- right over there between the newspaper stands and that Bart elevator. The newspaper machines hide them from street view, but just barely. I've walked by and had to step over human feces" He scrunched up his face at that like that was just a touch too savage. As we scooted up in the line and got in to the Peet's he said, "At first I thought you tripped because you were looking at those two girls. That blonde looks like a young Heather Locklear." "Nope, I guess it was just the sidewalk. It's Monday and I'm not awake yet." I didn't want to admit I was staring at her friend. But then again, you all knew that anyway. 19 May 20:57 | /humor | 1 comment(s)

Kathie Lee Gifford to join NBC's `Today'
Yes, I know about this- you don't need to email me the news. My mom emailed me this link this morning (and my dad emailed it to me later in the day).
Gifford, 54, who left Regis Philbin and "Live" in 2000, joked that the timing of her TV return "couldn't be worse" in certain ways: "I'm eight years older, 10 pounds heavier, a half-inch shorter, and just in time for HD television."Pretty funny quote actually. Welcome back KLG, I'll have to start "working from home" more. 31 Mar 17:52 | /humor | 1 comment(s)
