A MetroMan Special: "Bust A Move Guy"



Yesterday was a pretty crappy day for me. There's no better way to end a crappy day than to have a nice long metro ride. I transferred at metro center (you know my routine by now), and halfway down the escalator, I saw a train servicing my side of the platform. Before I could even THINK about running for it, I heard the chime, and that evil bitch say "DOORS CLOSING!". Missed my damn train. I was forced to wait an ENTIRE 4 minutes for the next blue line. 

Posted up next to a concrete pillar, I assumed my duties as metroman and began observing the masses. I look left, and there's this big Asian dude that clearly has a mental disorder of some sort. He was yelling out random things...and kicking at the Orange line train towards New Carrollton as it came to a stop. Yeah, Im not gonna lie...I thought the shit was funny, but I had a moral attack and chose not to "highlight" him on iMetro.

Looking the other direction, I saw a sight that instantly MADE MY DAY. I saw "BUST A MOVE GUY"!!!! I said (aloud...oops) "holy shit, that's bust a move guy!" You DO remember who "bust a move guy" is, right? If not, click here Luckily noone was really within earshot. Much to my delight, I had my real camera with me today. "Bust a move guy" was there in FULL FORCE, straight SERVING IT UP on the platform!! You KNOW I had to cease this opportunity and put the camera on video mode...


I was satisfied with that display from BAMG. As you can see at the end of that video, he appeared to be done, and on his way. My train arrived, and I started toward my car that I normally ride...but OH!!...WAIT A MINUTE!! BAMG was getting on the blue line too!! He syked me out!! I immediately followed him, and took a front row seat for part deux of the show. 






BAMG was first introduced to us in last week's "Did you miss me?" post, linked above. He was introduced to us as such via an iMetro reader. As described inthe aforementioned post, BAMG had a few words for white people. (I have no idea why he has a thing for talking smack to white people.) While on the train, as he finished a set of push-ups, he began grinding his hips to the beat (I hope) and said "Yeah...white people aint neva gonna have it like this. They aint never gonna be able to work it like this. Thats why white women aint happy. They need a black man to work it like this"...

Here's to you, Mr. Bust A Move Guy...

I've seen this dude. I got on the train one day at Landover and he almost got cut I swear fo' Jesus. I didn't see him as I was gettin on cuz he was down doing his push-ups, so when i got on this mofo pops up and I swear he came about 3 seconds away from getting his throat sliced! I keep a blade in my hand and he was about to GET IT! Some dude saw me open the blade up and everything and he was like "oh shit", lmao. I was like "my bad......reflexes...."

OMG. I finally got around to watching this. Yo, why did you zoom in on his sneaks in the first one? LMAO! Also, why was this fool doing push ups on the damn train? That's crazy. Glad I wasn't there. Cause I wouldn't be able to keep my composure. Kinda like when I saw this lady in Best Buy recently...

This guy "works out" on Pennsylvania Ave in front of the White House at least several times a week. Now, when I say "works out on..." I mean that in the most literal sense of the phrase... like he gets down on the asphalt. Sometimes he brings dumbells and barbells to work into his routine.

Thanks for that update James. I have often wondered how BAMG has been doing. Glad to see he's still doing his thing!
