By adamg on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 12:28pm
John Kendricken reports his Orange Line train came to a halt between Ruggles and Mass. Ave. late this morning due to a guy who decided to hang out on the tracks. For his safety and that of the Transit cops sent to get him out of there, the T cut power on the line, Kendricken reported around 11:30:
It's starting to get really warm and smelly in here.

Sooooo
So this differs from any other day on the Orange Line?
At least if they keep moving,
At least if they keep moving, you get a cross winds from all of the rust holes which in turn at least keep the air circulating.
Here's how it's different:
The report said "it's STARTING to get warm and smelly in here." Meaning, there as a time earlier during their ride when it wasn't warm and smelly. That's different than usual!
God job T cops
What was he charged with when they arrested him?
Crimes Against Fashion?
Minor northbound delays between Ruggles and
Downtown Crossing due to police action according to the T alert I got
Love how they totally kill power to a section of the line, yet claim only "minor" delays.
Well, maybe the guy
was a minor!
How long was the power off?
How long was the power off?
Well, if you rely on the T alerts
the power must still be off, because they haven't yet issued an 'all clear' alert for the police action.
That having been said, 'delays due to a minor' does not have the same meaning as 'minor delays.

I miss the days when a manbun was a grown man dressed as a bunny.
man
you had some days back in your time, didn't you?

Man buns
The man bun is to 2017 what the mullet was to 1989. Seriously, unless you are The Dude from The Big Lebowski or a Samurai warrior there is no reason at all for it.
lol, well played. I keep
lol, well played. I keep waiting for the day guys stop wearing man buns.
Ummm....
What if a bun is the only sure-fire, completely undetectable way to hide an ever-expanding bald spot? (Asking for a friend.)
There is more dignity in the
There is more dignity in the largest of bald spots than in the smallest of manbuns.
It doesn't work
If "your friend" thinks it's undetectable he's only fooling himself. Manbuns to hide bald spots are the combovers of the 2010s.
If you have enough hair to
If you have enough hair to put into a manbun, you need to get a haircut.
The most important question
Was he doing yoga?
Later, I took the Orange Line downtown
And it came to a halt twice. But because the brakes froze up, not because of manbun.
Of course he's not wearing any shoes
Barefoot along a subway right of way. What could possibly go wrong?
I'm not saying mind altering substances were involved
But mind altering substances were involved.
Or, maybe ...
An altered mind was involved - with or without substances.
I miss the days...
...when "manbuns" denoted an entirely different part of the male anatomy. :-)
Old fogey here
who was a (male) fashion victim in my teens and 20s in the 1980s. (No photos survive, unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately.) Considering the hair styles of that decade, I don't have a leg to stand on to criticize boys and young men who choose to wear a man-bun. It's orders of magnitude less stupid-looking than my own hair 30 years ago. In my own defense, at least I never wore anything that could be described as a mullet.
