Fantasy Map: San Francisco Muni Metro in the Style of the New York Subway Map
Created by DeviantArt member Maphead354, this is pretty spot-on, right down to the MTA-styled “MUNI” logo and condensed serif font for park names. Of course, the letter designations for lines at every single station starts to look a bit silly with so few lines, but that’s part of the fun of the mash-up, I guess.
Amusingly, just like in New York, other rail systems get relegated to thin blue ticked route lines. In NY, it’s PATH and the LIRR – here, it’s BART and Caltrain. And the heritage streetcars/cable cars miss out all together, boo!
Still, a lot of fun and nicely executed as well.

Bartleby: I’d prefer you not to.
Narrator. Why?
B: lists specific, reasonable justifications
N: does it anyway
Apologies in advance for gimmick-biting, but when you say “It should be easy for you to ____.” I just hear “And what’s the deal with, ____?”

Jerry: What’s going on in there?
Kramer: What?
Jerry: The light!
Kramer: Oh the red, its the chicken roaster sign, its right across my window.
Jerry: Can’t you shut the shades?
Kramer: They are shut, oh yea your friend Seth stopped by.
Jerry: Yea? What’d he say?
Kramer: Yea, he was fired.(via The Chicken Roaster)

Coppola says he was shocked to learn that the film utilized the very same surveillance and wire-tapping equipment that members of the Nixon Administration used to spy on political opponents prior to the Watergate scandal. Coppola has said this is the reason the film gained part of the recognition it has received, but that this is entirely coincidental. (x)
