Beetle... wat!

Happy Sunday everyone! I sat down in the train Friday morning, saw this and started giggling like a friggin baby. It was one of those flashback kind of things I guess.

Do you see it?

Maybe it's just my warped mind. Maybe not! Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice...

What Stations Do You See With the Most Knuckleheads?

I hate taking the train. Aside of the usual smells and nastiness, I don't want to be around when trouble starts. Check out the article at the link below from SFGate.

These BART stations tally the most arrests

Stabbing Aboard BART Train Shuts Down Oakland's MacArthur Station

Didn't hear about this till now. Be safe out there.

Snatched!

I'm into the paranormal. You know, things like ghosts, aliens, bigfoot and all those things you see on tv documentaries. I mean how do you explain all those strange things people see. They're recorded by every day joes with their camera phones and even appearing in photos mysteriously. 

I'm sure you've heard of abductions.  No, not kidnappings by sick people. I'm talking about where a person disappears without any explanation known to man. No physical evidence other than something left behind such as... shoes.  I mean, it's like they were snatched so hard they're shoes were left where they were standing. Well, I think it's happening at BART. You be the judge.

 

Let's Get This Party Started... Again

Hey everyone! Long time no see.

It's been a long time since I last touched this page. I stopped the page after I was laid off of my job in the city. Since then I've had a couple jobs in the city but never posted anything. I guess you can say that I just got lazy and I just said "F it! I'll do it later".  Fast forward 5 years, I'm back in the city riding that thing called BART.

I think I posted Bart stuff on Facebook on occasion but that was about it. There was a Facebook page that posted a lot of stuff on the train like turds on the seats and a-holes doing a-hole deeds. I think I posted a few pics there but it wasn't the same as doing my own thing on my page. Unfortunately, I came across another FB page that RIPPED OFF mine and used THE SAME TITLE as mine. THIS IS THE OG "TALES FROM THE BART SIDE" page. Yeah you can say I'm irritated, but whatever. I guess they say "Imitation is the best form of flattery". WHATEVER!! He straight stole that shit.

If you have any pics to donate or have a story to tell, feel free to send them to me.

Have a good Labor Day weekend!

Run Forrest Run!!!

Just left the office. What a screwed up day it was... not so much in the office but just in general. It was one of those days where you wanted to hit the reset button. Anyway, there were about 4 minutes till my train arrives. Of course the elevator had to stop a couple times before hitting ground zero. I was kind of in a hurry. My friend said "I'll see you later. You better run and hurry up to get the train". I replied "nah". Basically, I have a rule on BART. Never run for the train because you WILL get the door slammed in your face. If that happens then you gotta play it off. I'm too old for that stuff.

Do you have a rule to live by on BART? Leave an answer in the comments.

Oh I guess I should mention that today's exciting BART story was at Powell station on the way home where the doors closed on a lady with a pull handled luggage. When it squashed her, her bag was stuck outside the train.  About half the side of the train went "whoa" in unison. After she pried herself free she decided not to board. Good move because these two guys were cracking up. So this brings up my question again, "what are your rules for riding BART"?  She'll probably be living by the same rule as me from now on.

Funbags!

Today I get the lady that has a bagful of fun sit next to me. I can tell it has a little bit of everything. As she rummages through her bag everyone is looking at her because it sounds like all of Santa's reindeer wearing tap shoes landing on a your roof and having a party. Finally she settles down and picks the object of her choice to entertain her during her morning commute. Was it a book? No. Could it be an e-reader or maybe a smartphone? Nope. Maybe some makeup. Who knows, she might be a war paint hero I've never encountered on the train. Nope... This is what she takes out to fidget with for the next 10 minutes...  Are you kidding me?  Happy Friday everyone!

Gone Squatchin!

Today seemed pretty good.  No people were run over on BART or Caltrain.   Well, not too sure about Caltrain but there were definitely none on BART.   I took an earlier train home.  Jumped on the SFO Airport train today.  Just when you thought it was safe, the car filled up like a buffet in Vegas.  It got so full everyone was touching a stranger today.  The train pulled into Civic Center.  I was thinking,"Ok, there's no way anyone is gonna get on this train".  I was wrong.  I saw people bumping into each other out the corner of my eye and could hear cussing under their breath.   Someone was forcing their way into the train.  I looked up... well I had no choice.  This tall ass Howard Stern looking sasquatch mofo with a big ass back pack forced himself onto the train because his punk ass couldn't wait for the next one.  Damn, I hate public transportation.  It gets so old.  At least he wasn't naked with an afro doing acrobatics.

UPDATE: Naked Acrobat Arrested Today

Our favorite naked big hair wearing acrobat was just arrested today.  Click here for the article. He was spotted panhandling for money in the Embarcadero.  You can tell that was him by the tat on his left forearm.  Dumbass shoulda covered that up in addition to his mug with the tribal mask.  You can see that video here.  Get this clown off our streets already.

What's Going On?

Guess what?!!!  Nothing to really write about today AGAIN!  Everything was "normal" on the train ride in and back today.  Apparently all the action happened at the Caltrain 22nd Street station tonight.  Someone with a knife was causing some tension on a ledge near the station.  What's funny is how the news is always so wrong when it first erupts.  At first report it was a guy with a gun that had someone hostage, then it toned down a little to a guy with a gun, and then now a knife.  Gotta love the media and the brainwashing about fearing guns.
