problem fixed!

After the PATH train crashed this morning at 33rd, the MTA decided that this blinking light and little red flag should fix the problem.

Thanks Jane.

bringing back pork rinds

Someone’s attempt at a grass roots approach to bring pork rinds back into the public consciousness.

Thanks Victoria.

i love the busch

Welcome to Busch Gardens, the Olde Country! Nestled in Colonial Williamsburg, VA, Busch Gardens was a place I could always depend on to bring me back to life after weeks of lethargic summer heat during my formative years. I still remember my very first visit to Busch with my family. I was wearing green Jellies and rainbow suspenders, and remember that the Loch Ness Monster coaster had broken down, so the riders had to climb down the emergency stairs. With that image etched in my mind, it wasn’t until I had some peach fuzz down below before I braved any of the coasters, but now I do so with glee. Here are some mobile pics from a recent visit to one of my favorite haunts, as well as a special shout out to the Big Bad Wolf, which will be closed permanently in September after 25 years of service. We’ll miss you Wolfy!

wet sex street

Someone got a little creative with the wet paint signs in the Essex Street train station.

Thanks Axel.

it’s a car wash ladies and gentlemen!

Who doesn’t love some fringe in the morning? This woman means to start the week off right and is doing it in style. John snapped this mobile pic using the “Shake It Photo” app for the iPhone, producing mobile pictures that have a vintage Polaroid feel to them, which is appropriate because this woman’s outfit is fiercely 70’s. 

always waitinG

Folks who live off the G line have more time than other commuters to sit on the platform and think about why the subway fare went up another 25 cents this week. 

Thanks Vicky.

scary as hell

Elizabeth Falkner’s rendition of a hobgoblin from hell on the Top Chef Masters poster in the subway scares the hell out of me. 

things found under a subway seat

The New York Post, a Law & Order Special Victims Unit cap and a Conan the Barbarian comic in which Conan goes up against the deadly Gorgan, Medusa. 

Thanks Dave.
