Purgatory With Pantagraphs

From the depths of commuter hell, comes Purgatory with Pentagraphs. These are the continuing stories of the brave souls who commute daily to Chicago on the South Shore electric train, and the muggles who are unfortunate enough to meet them.

Jesus had a Mullet




One of the more fun parts of riding the South Shore is observing some of the people who ride the train. Friday I got to do the time warp again, and visit the 80's. On the Van Buren platform was a guy who had a beautiful specimen of a mullet, to go along with the beer gut, and matching stained shirt. To complete the ensomble he was smoking one of the cheap thin cigars that are pratically given away today, even with this age of high tobacco taxes. And for some strange reason, this nearly flawless creature was standing alone, and managed to get a seat alone on a crowded Friday train. I do sure hope that he enjoyed his day of taping at the Jerry Springer show, and his case of Miller High Life that he got as a parting gift.
