Nobody enjoys having to muscle through a dense crowd of people on the metro platform. Especially on those days when everyone is so eager to get on the train that they don’t even wait for anyone to get off before surging onboard. Times like that, we wish we had some magical power to transport past the crowd, but then again if we could do that, we wouldn’t be taking metro to begin with, now would we? But now that we think about it, the parting powers of the Lord might do the trick.

Quote of the Week

Metro Center, red line platform to Shady Grove after a Nats game:

An obviously seasoned metro-rider exits the train and confronts the crowd on the platform: “That’s right, part! Part like the motherfuckin’ red sea!”

After the jump, just how hot is that dog, the entertainment value of injuries, and debating the parameters of rush hour.
