The G Train Gets A Pageant

gtrain1109.jpg It's amazing that anyone wants to celebrate the G train, but the NY Post is reporting that Williamsburg's City Reliquary is hosting a pageant to do just that. They report that the museum and civic organization will hold the pageant on November 19th in conjunction a photography exhibit documenting past Miss Subways winners.

The best part: any New Yorker can enter! Men, women, babies, the elderly... just send a 200 word description explaining what being Miss G Train would mean to you, along with a photo of yourself. Entrants are encouraged to wear creative costumes and pick their own music for the catwalk (which should really be on the G platform).

Will you enter? Time is ticking, and they say that the competition is running on or close to on schedule!

my first glance at that headline looked like "The G Train Gets Pregnant".

i would have liked that story. can we make it happen? thnx.

The winner will have to show up late and be short while packing a lot in their outfit - hey it's the G line.

So will she be pulling a G Train?

The pageant will not be held on nights or weekends, and will often not run all the way through to its intended completion.

It should be mandatory that the pageant winner wear a G-string year round.

Someone has the job where they come up with these brainless ideas all day long & get paid a handsome salary for it. I need this job!!

The winner will have the most unique pair of Converse sneakers, Kanye shades, spandex pants and some sort of facial/armpit hair. A pre-req is she must have been a mermaid in coney island the last three years. And she must be able to name three bands no one has heard of. And she must say "lame" a lot.

I get it! That's, like, all hipster stuff. The post mentioned the G train and Williamsburg... and you made a hipster joke! Who would have ever thought of that??! It's comedy gold!

You were dying to say my post was lame, right? I get it.

Heh. Nice, but believe me I couldn't pass for a hipster if I tried.

The winner should smell like piss and ask you for a dollar.

The winner will be barred from entering Manhattan.

Good one! The best of the "The winner will..." comments.

Wasn't it the G train where that woman was raped in front of the station agent who did nothing?

Yes, that was at the 21st Street station in Long Island City.
