I like how Archie is ankle deep and everyone else is up to their waists despite being parallel to the shore.

He's either Jesus, or Rob Liefeld drew this.

She really looks like she did not give one single gently caress:



I think most of us are just so used to seeing bizarre poo poo happen on the subway that unless someone's waving a gun or a knife around (or masturbating) we just aren't even going to notice it. There was one night I was going home from work and a dude got on wearing jorts, a chain mail shirt (with nothing underneath) and a long sword strapped to his waist. Just stood there from 42nd street all the way to Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn, with everyone on the car either quietly laughing or looking at him like :stare:. poo poo like that really is great, if only for that moment when you look at the person next to or across from you and instead of the usual 'avoid eye contact at all costs!' you actually share a smile or a laugh with that perfect stranger over whatever insane poo poo is happening a couple of feet away from you both.

I love riding the subway.

Subway Funway

Literally one of the things I miss the most since moving to the suburbs.

There's always some sort of "entertainment" on the subways. Acrobatics, music, awkward folks, angry folks, etc. On my daughters 3rd birthday, we were riding the A to Union from Mercer and there was a full blown Mariachi band playing in our car.

Only notable person I ever saw on the NYC subway was a dude rapping about Jesus. With no repetition for like eight stops so at least kind of impressive if he was improvising, but still, kind of disappointing.

I haven't seen one of those for a while now, but they were a pretty regular thing on a bunch of different lines for a few years. As annoying as it was to have a full blown Mariachi band blasting away in a cramped subway car, if I was having a poo poo day it almost always lifted my mood a little bit. They're just so goddamn cheerful that you can't help but smile. At least until they give you a headache, anyway.

The mariachi band that I've seen multiple times on the R is fantastic. On the other side of that spectrum the lady screaming in people's faces about Jesus is the worst.

One thing I saw when I was in England a bajillion years ago was both one of the most surreal and most majestic things I ever saw. The Underground was treated to a wandering mariachi band that was all Indian dudes. Not Native Americans mind but dudes from India that didn't look even the least bit Mexican. They were actually probably one of the best mariachi bands I've ever heard but instead of sounding Mexican they kept their Indian accents when they sang.

I smiled. It was incredible.

There are a ton of train musicians in Berlin. They do it for cash, which isn't allowed but apparently it's worth trying to get away with it, and they're also usually not very good or obviously just playing a simple tune over a backing track tape. I liked the people playing music in the subway stations in New York. They usually had some chops. Plus if they do annoy you you can go somewhere else!

Wanna see the Jesus lady meet the Jesus rap dude.

NYC subway buskers are the best in the business.

I stopped a few days ago to watch a breakdancing troupe that looked like loving Greek gods, backflipping into one-point push-ups and poo poo. It was unbelievable.

pretentious fuckwit who isn't half as literate or insightful or clever as he thinks he is
I remember going to Paris and having a pair of guys bust out some 1990s-style boombox and start playing music for everyone in the subway.

Then some dude got his briefcase caught in the train doors for an entire stop, all while the funkiest possible music played and he struggled on the straps that made it inside the train. :allears:
