Not to freak anyone out...

I can't help myself....
Someone get these motha' f***in' snakes off my motha' f***in' train!
On the T? Usually it's just
On the T? Usually it's just a man with a trouser snake.
St. Patrick of the T?
He's gonna get that m-f'n snake of that m-f'n train!
I doubt it
He lives in Southie and insists on driving everywhere. :(
Just another pervert on the T
Was he keeping the snake in his trousers?
Same guy...
... I saw on the Green Line downtown a year(?) ago with a snake? Same snake?

Boston.com reports
the man with a snake was apparently on a Green Line train. They held the train while thy searched the area.
What is REALLY funny
Is all the removed comments on the boston.com article. Hours of entertainment pondering what the comments were.
Most likely the deleted posts
a) didn't properly edit their "Snakes on a Plane" quotes, or
b) put the blame for the delay on Obama, or
c) put the blame for the delay on Bush
Seriously though, you raise a good point. In reviewing Boston.com and Herald comments sections, it's not uncommon to see responses to comments that have been deleted. It seems to me that, in the interest of fairness, if they delete a comment as "abusive" or "against policy", they should also delete all subsequent comments directed at the original one that was deleted.
I suspect
That most of them fall into catagory A. Leading to more merriment as people try to get around the offending words.
The Glob in particular
will leave up some ridiculously classist, racist, homophobic attacks that don't contain any substance whatsoever, but then they'll delete stuff that has a potty word in it. They're also quick to buhleet anything that remotely maligns anyone dead.
Well was it a garden snake or
Well was it a garden snake or a king cobra?
Was he in a clown suit?

I was on the red line last
I was on the red line last week when I heard a thump and looked down to see a foot-long snake on the floor. Scared the crap out of me and the other people on the train. The guy who owned it let it hang out on the floor for a while before picking it up, putting it in his shirt and getting off at the next stop (Broadway or Andrew, I can't remember). I'm no snake expert, but it had a triangle shaped head and leopard-like spots... I had no idea what to do.
Me neither...
...But sounds like a boa-constrictor to me. You're going to be okay as long as A) you don't sling it around your neck and B) You're not a mouse. In elementary school we had one as a pet, and he was very nice. He'd get loose and scare a librarian occasionally, but that was about this height of his hijinx.
One foot long?
Only one foot long? Sounds more like a ball python to me, which isn't really dangerous to anyone who's not a mouse.
Foot-long ball python?
Foot-long ball python? Another name for a trouser snake?

Isn't that something?
A little bit scary, seeing a snake on a train, whether it's non-poisonous or not. There've been stories of neighborhood pets disappearing when a pet snake escapes from somebody's house because it's been left unattended.,
