Be sure to run your cursor over the duck at the top. Waaaaah! And check out the other strips. San Francisco residents will enjoy his other strip at http://www.sfweekly.com/comics/puni/ but unless you've taken SF's public transportation, you won't get it.

Obnoxious Fart Noise of the Week: If anything I write ever offends you (I hope I hope I hope) please check your spelling at least once as you waste your time b***hing me out. Everyone makes a mistooks, but if you can't spell on a third-grade level, don't try to convince me that you're a profeshunul joornulist or that you have a masstars' duhgree n commyunikayshuns. It's entirely possible--given today's educational standards--but I won't buy it. Be a real patriot...do better. And stop displaying the flag incorrectly, damn.

So right, so right and such sweet memories...the long waits (Muni Math - the Number of buses going in the OPPOSITE direction times ten will be the number of minutes you will wait for the bus going in YOUR direction to finally arrive), the sardine can crowds (however it is great if you get off on, like, rubbing yourself against people - not that I do), the smells, and the oh so sweetly cantankerous drivers.  You know if the terrorists had hit the Muni headquarters I think there would have been dancing in the streets after all.

Man, there are somethings about San Francisco I just don't miss at all.  Parking, what's that?  And more people seemed to live on the street than in the overpriced housing.

And the city is just dirty.

Thanks Squish, you made me smile.  Now I'm going to watch a b-movie.

Ah, the ad hominem attack, last resort of those with nothing worthwhile to say.

The city Bus. A hot bed for crazys . The Aboveground Subway,as it were. I don't miss it. How many movies have featured public transport as a plot element? Beside SPEED, i mean? The Big Bus.....Pelham 1.2.3.....(lets leave airplanes out of this.ground and sea  only)....That weird movie where Telly Savalas hijacks an ocean liner and gets plugged by Shelly Winters....hummmm....help me out,guys....

QUICK CHANGE

Almost every type of public transportation is featured in this movie.

Aw, c'mon, San Francisco cable cars get bonged almost all the time--even if their destruction isn't the main event--in almost any movie set in the city. Recently: Epicenter and The Rock.

NOTE: You can save the tiny "duck" button ("Waaaaah!") if you copy the .swf file out of your Temporary Internet Files. I play with mine all the time while I try to think of something "worthwhile" to say in a B-movies forum (snicker); it makes me giggle hysterically, and it doesn't cause blindness or hairy palms like the other tiny thing I play with all the time that makes me (and others) giggle hysterically.
