On my way back home I saw that funny kid that improvises Michael Jackson in subway. He entered the car and did his gig but no one gave him money. He got pissed and started yelling "how can you don't like Michael Jackson?! F&ck you, f&ck you!". He exited at the bext stop and flipped us all the bird from the platform...It's confirmed: the King of Pop is officially dead.

Armadillo on Ice in Chinatown
This is one of the greatest "only in New York" pictures I've ever seen. A friend of mine saw a strange creature on ice at a fishmonger in Brooklyn's 8th Avenue Chinatown.
How did it get there?
My scenario: There was a truck driving food from the Southwest, or Mexico, where a hapless armadillo accidentally got on board. The animal made it to Chinatown, where puzzled, some shopkeeper just decided to do what he did with everything else: put it on ice and sell it.

Quote for the day...
Today, government is a lot like the subway. We tend to give the crazy person what he wants.

Subway Humper
So I sit down on the subway. The train is crowded, but I take the one seat next to the guy who's drinking. I'm tired.
This gentleman has a neck brace on, has clearly broken his nose a number of times, and is drinking with a straw from a can in a paper bag. He smells like beer, not body odor, just beer.
We're two express stops in when he starts groaning gently.
Soon, he stood up and starts gyrating around the the pole. He takes his neck brace off, sips his beer through his straw, and starts humping the railing.
Yes. A Subway Humper.
The picture isn't the best, but it's the best I could do with my phone camera--being that I was in the seat right next to the guy.....

11:49 at night 14th and 7th on a 95 degree day
I saw this guy come down into the station carrying a small coffee table.
He plops right down and uses it as a footstool.
It was probably the hottest day of the year so far, it was almost midnight, a empty 3 train pulls into the station and sits there, with closed doors, for a good 7 minutes, while the sign said the next train was 14 minutes away.
This guy had the right idea.
I caught up with him on the train, when it finally came. We were all glad to be in air conditioning and the car was friendly.
The guy's name is Gaspar, he was cool about me taking pictures. And he genuinely seemed to enjoy the attention he was getting by his neighbors. The table as stool was such a good idea we all wanted to put our feet up on it.
Gaspar is an awesome photographer, here's his website

Check him out in this photo below, and check out his site.

Good Subway Behavior responds to some Bad Subway Behavior
An old friend of mine works in transit in Boston. He was actually the first person to see this now-viral footage of a woman stumbling onto the tracks in front of an oncoming train. Here's what he had to say about it, with the footage below.
I'm actually the first person who saw the footage, my boss asked me to head over to the control center and see if there was anything on tape about what happened. I'm not sure what I exclaimed in the middle of the control center when I saw it, but it was enough for every subway dispatcher in the room to stand up and look at me.
