Who says the Orange Line isn't hip?
By adamg on Thu, 05/17/2018 - 11:00pm
Carla Osberg looked up to see Spider-Man just hanging out on the Orange Line as it hurtled between Back Bay and Stony Brook this evening. And you thought that was the kind of hipster thing that only the Green and Red lines got to see. The Orange Line has certainly come far from its naked-guy days.

The other side of the story
Stacey Stax Cordaro snapped some Spidey-Butt tonight.
Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Rides whatever a spider can
Orange Line, any time ...
Yeah, I could do that too,
if I *wanted to*.
No: I'm simply the kind of unassuming, non-showboating Orange Line rider that doesn't like to call attention to himself. I also let people off the train before I get on, and do not cavort and laugh and sing the latest pop songs overloudly with my friends on the night's last train, even when we are drunk. Okay, if it's the last train, we are almost certainly drunk, but that just underscores my point.
No, no, no, don't praise me: I'm just trying to be a solid, extremely humble paragon of peerless citizenship. I would fiercely resist any attempt to body-cast me for a bronze statue at Chinatown Station.
(Also, I did not have the good fortune to be bitten by a radioactive spider when I was a teen.)
Very dangerous
To himself and those around him
How so?
Doesn't look like rush hour, and he has multiple points of contact.
(looks at spiderconstructors working on building across the street)
So says the biggest Fourth
So says the biggest Fourth Point of Contact Around.
It's only dangerous if you
It's only dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. I've practiced stuff like this for years and I also train in parkour, so im not much danger to myself, and I've got pretty good control of my body as well as spacial familiarity, so it's unlikely that I'll hurt anyone unless they try to get hurt. I appreciate your concern, however.
I just think he’s brave for
I just think he’s brave for trusting that strap to hold his weight
He is not that big of a guy
He is not that big of a guy and I can attest those straps HOLD. I am very tall, very broad and have held on to one of those even as a car came to screeching halt and it held even though I was caught off guard and all I was holding was the strap. I am not sure what their weight designation is but I was impressed.
I Spotted
I Spotted Spiderman/Jason on Spring St. in West Roxbury just the other day. Brought a smile and a really good vibe to us all just by being there.
Thanks Spidey/Jason
Tights Guy
Does anyone remember the dude who used to ride the Orange Line all the time with a boombox, wearing a t-shirt and nothing but transparent tights, so you could see his junk all mashed up against the tights? I wonder whatever happened to that guy.
Do you mean...
...DJ Nite Train? Short cutoffs, yes, tights, I've never seen it. I haven't seen him in a long time, but he is a local treasure of Keytar Bear caliber.
No, Tights Guy
No no, I loved DJ Nite Train when I used to see him around. What happened to HIM?
But he's not who I meant. The guy I"m talking about was basically naked from the waist down.
DJ Nite Train
He’s still around! Head over to the new Looney zunes Records location on Harvard st in Allston (where store 54 used to be). He works- and DJs- there!
That explains
The sticky substance on the seats and poles on the orange line.
I don’t think
That’s the sticky substance.
This is such a riot!
Glad to see that the local neighborhood Spiderman is bringing so much joy, fun and laughter, and smiles to people. It's great!
I am all for more men in
I am all for more men in tights on the t.
Whatever was on the soles of that guy's feet
And now on the hand straps. Just great.
I'm pretty sure people's
I'm pretty sure people's hands are just as dirty as their feet. If not worse...
Or maybe just as bad...
Whatever was on those hand straps is now on his feet.
Fer Chrisakes:
Not only is he / it Man Spreading on the handlebars, but he / it probably is leaving their backpack where someone could be sitting.
Fun fact: if someone wants to
Fun fact: if someone wants to sit, i get down so that person can sit, obviously I'm not going to do it while people are trying to sit down...
