Portable Computing!


What the hell?
I get that you need to bring your iMac to work, but can’t you just carry it like a normal human? I swear I never saw the guy take it off his back when he sat down. He must have, because this cannot provide good back support.

*UPDATE* – 9/30/09 – I saw this guy coming home today. Either it was just a weird coincidence or he’s been using this thing as his laptop.

I really wish that I had a better camera for this one. I have seen this guy before but have never taken a picture of him. He’s the real life version of [W:Waluigi] from the Nintendo games. He’s got the most impressive facial hair on the Orange Line, by a wide margin. I’m sure he just works for a government agency or something but I would love to see him playing tennis in purple overalls.

Sunday Sunday SundayI really wish I could have a better picture of this sign. It’s an advertisement for the “Superior Wrestling League” event that was actually happening that night. We should have skipped the driving back to Virginia to see Mr. Sexy take on Curtis Cline. They obviously have a relaxed definition of “Sexy” down in NC. The undercard matches look awesome… we missed out.

Bart's People: This Guy

wtfThere are so many things going on with this guy that I couldn’t even find one specific thing to comment on. I woke up on the metro and just saw him wobbling there like a lumbering beast. First there’s this giant tent of a coat that he’s wearing that makes his arms seem about a foot too short. But on top of that he’s carrying the worlds smallest duffel bag which makes him seem even bigger. As if that wasn’t enough he’s listening to music on a set of headphones with a microphone attached. At any moment he could be radioing the tower to make sure the runway’s clear to land.

I don’t know where he came from or where he went, but here’s to you “Giant Weird Guy”!

Later!

Mr TurkeyneckI don’t know what it is about people on the Metro recently, but they’re becoming more interesting all the time. I wish I had a better camera… and also that it wasn’t considered weird to take pictures of strangers. Because I saw a guy in starbucks the other day who looked just like the kid from “The Boondocks” and a girl on the Metro platform last night that could have been “Rogue” from the X-men, if she was black. She had a white Harry Potter birthmark and a white streak in the front of her hair.

But I digress, the person I want to talk about is this fellow I saw on the way home the other day. He looks like a caricature. If you saw this guy in a serious movie you would think “now that’s over the top, that just totally ruins the reality of it.” I mean come on he looks like a taller version of Wimpy from Popeye!? The fact that he dosen’t have much of a neck makes him look like a giant finger puppet, his head being the thumb. I hope he’s a good guy, I just think he looks like a cartoon.

Later!
