November 6, 2005 - Dude, Halloween is over

So, as my first post, let me explain what I am trying to do. I am letting the general public get inside my head about what I think when on the T in Boston. As I kick this thing off, I will try to tell funny and odd stories, but you never know, some serious thoughts may occur.

I was on the T on November 1, going to work. Halloween was the previous night, and you just knew that some fool would walk on the T in costume. I was hoping to see a devil or maybe a vampire making the 'walk of shame.' However, what I saw boggled my mind. Hopping on the T in the middle car (not the end or the back, but smack in the middle) was 'superman,' or as I will now call him, 'super-moron.' Dress in a blue underarmour shirt with a red cape attached via safety pins, 'super-moron' walked on the T to a mixed crowd of students and business people - all of which where laughing.

Now, why wouldn't the guy take the red cape off? Does the piece of red fabric mean THAT much to you? Is it necessary? Take it off, roll it up if you want to keep it, or make one of those trash bins useful and throw it away. Then, hop on the T in your 'workout' clothes and not a costume that makes you the talk off the morning at the water cooler - or the first post of my Boston T blog.
