moblog: gangster bus driver


blackdog, the gangster bus driver
"Waddup. They call me Blackdog"

update: all buses in taiwan now have a nameplate on the back with the driver's chinese and english names. as you can see here, this drivers english name is blackdog. i'm assuming his nickname in chinese is "黑狗兄" (hei-gou-xiong) which literally translates into "black dog brother". this is a common moniker given to gangsters here, altho' i doubt this bus driver is one, unless the current economic crisis has hit the underworld as well so he had to take up another job. lol!

Priceless. I've seen some amusing 7/11 workers with some interesting English names (like "coffee" and "me") but this takes the cake.

cat... hahaha, yeah. there's some really strange english names out here but this one is definitely one of the top ones. i just started laughing when i saw this while driving and just had to get a photo of it right away.
