DROP EVERYTHING. Seriously, clear your calendar for this one: it's a good old fashioned bell-ringing contest! By gum, it's been a while! Well, a year. Oh, and it's happening today. You didn't have any plans, did you?
Sorry this post is so last minute, but once again displaying their organization's characteristic timeliness, Muni sent out a press release at the end of the day on Wednesday, letting us know about an event on Thursday. It's the 45th Annual Cable Car Bell-Ringing Contest! A chance to recognize the Muni employees who do their rounds on-time, never bunch up, always check for proper fare, and offer polite directions to commuters. HA HA HA! Just kidding, it's actually a chance to recognize the folks who can bang two pieces of metal together.
We're doomed.

As much as I hate MUNI. As much as I'd like to see it's union broken (and I'm hugely pro-union)... as much as I would like to see it's drivers stripped naked and driven out of town...
I think this is awesome. I mean, everybody needs an art, everybody needs a love, and if this does it for them, that's fantastic
Did they happen to mention a place and time or are you/they presuming we're psychic?
Dude.
I think that the folks at the Muni are trying to send you a message by intentionally delaying your precious press release. I think that you've received the message loud and clear. You know what that means:
U needs 2 start propr camerphone-based investigatin!!!!
Hop to it, son.
It's in Union Square at noon.
The announcement has been up for a while.
"We're doomed" made me laugh pretty hard.
Being a wage-earner myself, I'm glad MUNI's doing this. You need to let your employees cut loose every once in a while, even if they're rude and incompetent and make every San Franciscan miserable twice or thrice weekly.
Muni's always great for a party, and they haven't gotten a chance to have fun since the T-Third celebration. Let's give them a break. At least this won't cost $150,000, right?
Well Let's "Ring a Ding, Ringading, DONG" Jennifer Seibel needs a laptop and an internet connection because I think the ringy dingy might want to stay in SF a little bit longer than just show up for the parades
I rode T-Third yesterday, and I have to say they have their stuff together on that one now.
Yeah, when I lived on the corner of Jones and Jackson, some tardo cable car driver thought it was cool to ring the bell all the fucking way up Jackson until he got to the top.
If it had been LA, he would have been shot.
Fuck you, crazy bell ringers. The bells are there for safety and communication, not for your entertainment or for "wowing" some nice piece of tourist ass.
I live on Jackson/Taylor and you get used to the cable car sounds. They've been ringing cable car bells up Jackson street for a hell of a lot longer then you've been living here. If you don't like it, you should've stayed in LA!
I'm sure if we'd hear much less ringing if car drivers (who shouldn't even live in the Nob Hill) wouldn't leave the ass of their cars hanging in the middle of the cable car lane.
Even though i loath Muni, i feel we should give the cable car operators their day of fun. If the noise really bothers you, why did you move here? You're just like the idiots who buy a house right next to an airport, and then complain about the airport noise. You knew what you were getting into when you moved next to the cable car line.

I have a gut feeling this is going to be retarded.
Thank the lord the Mission hipstards won't be there.
