Are these shoes or banana peels? I'm riding the Metro to work when I look up and see this...

Quoted: They look like Ferrini or whatever is that brand of expensive alligator shoes. Dude when do you go to work? I've never seen metro so un-crowded as in your photo. I set my own hours so, I rolled in about 1400 and plan on rolling out at about 1800, and I'll surf ARFCOM for about 3 of those 4 hours. |

I'm surprised that you're surprised by anything you see on the Metro.
There could be a guy in there with a Kodiak Bear on nothing but a leash, dressed like something out of Cirque du Soleil (the guy –– not the bear), and the only notice it would get would be "Excuse me, could you move your bear so I can sit down?" That transit system is plagued with problems, and the one they seem to show absolutely zero interest in fixing is the people on it. Still.... It beats the hell out of driving into DC (especially from VA –– if one absolutely, positively must do so) _MaH |

Beaten. In the Flash TV series from the '90s, Flash was injured miles from home, and had to steal a bathrobe, doff his mask and walk home. He was approached by police who knew him, and they commented on his "red slippers". Conclusion: That was THE Bananaman. |

What do you mean, fixing the people on it? What would you propose they do to change the people? They already cleaned up the trains remarkably with the effective ban on food and drinks. The trains are markedly cleaner now than ever before. How would you propose they "change" the people who use the metro to go to work every day?

Yes its a "male". If you know anything about DC, he got off at Dupont Circle, which explains everything. 
Sure does. I was there for the inaugaration of Zero in uniform. Couple of chicks walk by, locals, one says to the other, "See, this is what real men look like." Say a bunch of fucking pansies that day. |

Oh, you were referring to people who work for the system, not the users of the system. I see.

An internet search didn't turn up anything remotely like those! |
