He does seem to have a disability.
I hatez it when Josh and I enter a subway and peepz don’t rise. WE HAVE A DISABILITY TOO! It’s calling being too sexy, different, and lazy (and famous) to stand the whole time.
David from Brazil: The big green guy on the sign looks like Frankenstein’s monster (my understanding is that the monster was not actually named Frankenstein, his creator was named Dr. Frankenstein).
Funny observation about the sign.
I almost always prefer to stand on the subway or in restaurant waiting areas. I just know some disabled/pregnant/old/obese person will come along and I will feel guilty about sitting while they stand. If I have to get up to give them a seat I will feel a little self conscious and am concerned that they may be offended if my action reminds them of their disability. I prefer to avoid that situation. Most of my subway trips tend to be short anyway.
JERK! I was gonna do a post where I make fun of the artarded cautionary subway signz! My favorite is the one of the red man being crushed by the doorz. I like to pretend the red is actually his blood being pushed out of every pore [pre-falling out of the train/onto the trackz/getting dragged to hell].
And Enrico and I deserve whatever we want…including kicking disabled babiez out of seatz if our legs feel too weak to hold up the amazingness that is the rest of us.
You guys are so going to hell for mocking the handicapped monsters. *shakes head*
I wish I’d taken a picture of a sign in Spain for “emergency exit”. It showed a guy running but I swear he was pooping a hockey stick as he ran, Or he had a huge schlong like someone else we know and it was dragging behind him in the wind. It was so odd.
Wait, is the handicapped monster asking for a seat? Or has he just offered it to the armless sorta Grimace shaped pink thing? Because in my reading, the greenish skinned people often spend a substantial portion of their young lives taking care of pretty armless people. Just look at “Wicked” (the book version, not the musical version).
Maybe one leg is bigger than the other cause of the frankenschlong running down his leg?
And Craiggers, you could TOTALLY go as Frankenstein’s monster for Halloween! You’re tall enough…although you’re not quite green enough. And you call the Puntabuschlong the Frankenschlong!
Frankenschlong reminds me of John Wayne Bobbitt’s porn movie “Frankenpenis” and I’m not sure if that’s the connection Craig wants people making when they think of his junk.
I totally agree that its pictogram sign FAIL. Without the text it is totally unclear what is going on in the photo. Is the Large Green Being imploring the lazy Grey Lady to get up, or has the Large Green Being completed its task of offering the seat to the Grey Lady, (which by the way, is a nickname for The New York Times.)?
So potentially the sign could be saying “if you are severely infected with gangrene, please spread newspaper on the seat before sitting down.”
Of course, all of this is moot because the seat next to the woman is empty and both of them could have just sat down in the first place. It’s like, does the woman smell bad? Is her ass spilling over into the next seat so no one else could fit? Is there rain water in the seat (which happens a lot more than you’d think) or some nasty stain or leftover food? Is green man just a supercilious douche or maybe passive aggressive (no, please, you sit in BOTH seats, I’ll just stand here as my body fills with pus)?
Looking pretty good there Craig (minus the green skin and stiches). I haven’t seen that photo before. What does one have to do to get your shirtless fitness pix?
Chris D: I posted it on Twitter in the haze of a post-workout coma. I deleted the tweet 10 minutes later when I thought better of it but apparently Jere is a quick click and saver.
Chris D.: I was kinda wondering that myself. And Craiggers, I;m going to ignore the factual answer you gave and stick with what my imagination conjures up using Jere’s resonse, simply because it’s much more fun that way.

I love the names of American laws. “Americans with Disabilities Act”
October 28th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Which train is that, btw?

Since when does being super tall and eating enough spinach to make your skin green qualify as a disability?! I’m incensed.

Are you sure it doesn’t mean the Jolly Green Giant?
October 29th, 2009 at 5:28 am
Or the Incredible Hulk?
October 29th, 2009 at 6:11 am
Michelle: I don’t think he’s quite Ferrigno enough for The Hulk.
October 29th, 2009 at 7:05 am
I love the way one leg is thicker than the other. He’s totally made out of spare parts.

And his arms are mismatched. Is this on the train to Laguardia? ’cause Mr Green totally looks like he works on the tarmac.

Maybe he is a zombie. While it’s nice that he is giving up his seat, he should really stay home if he has a case of zombie brain flu.
It’s 44F this morning. That’s more like December weather.
October 29th, 2009 at 11:32 am
Polt: Implying that your schlong was taken from a dead body kind of kills the mood, at least for me.
October 29th, 2009 at 11:54 am

I have to admit, Frankencraig (or is it Puntabustein’s monster?) does look pretty hot, though. Woof.
October 29th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Wow, indepth analysis David. Well done.
October 29th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
I want to dance to P!nk rather than work right now.
October 29th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
OMG I want to bang Frankencraig’s brains out! Wait a second…
October 29th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Oh, and thanks for the additional shoulder hair
October 29th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Craig: Why is your Twitter thingy still showing an old tweet?
October 29th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Craig: Speaking of Frankencraig, how has your Wii workout been going? Will you be back to the fitness level of Frankencraig soon?!
October 29th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Ryan: I don’t know. I think something is wrong with the WP plugin I’m using. Hopefully it’s their server, and nothing to do with mine.
Enrico: The workouts are going well. The Frankencraig picture was taken last night. Minus all the green and shoulder hair of course

Chris D. Don’t ask. It’s pretty humiliating and I won’t be able to walk straight for weeks.

Oh yeah, sorry. What Jere said. He was amazing.
October 29th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
Darn! I need to check Twitter more often.
Craig, be carefull with that fitness. If you get any hotter you might just melt the sun.
October 29th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Jere – that’s awesome (Frankencraig).
October 29th, 2009 at 11:42 pm
I’m not all that quick a click and saver – it’s still online via Twitpic.com if you know how to work that site.
Michelle – I felt as though I was channeling the Michelle M photoshop muse for a brief and rather inferior moment.

HAAAAA!! Oh, this has seriously cracked me up…
