Not so much on the bus, but you grow up in New York and you end up seeing a lot of crazy stuff on the subway. Plenty of your standard issue crazies, flashers and pan flute ensembles (anyone who has seen any recent South Park should be giggling about that one), but every so often you see really spectacular things, like the six and a half foot tall skinny black man dressed in a rainbow tie-dyed bodysuit that covered him from head to ankles, antennae and huge diaphanous butterfly wings that was running up and down the platform at W 34th street singing the theme from the 1960s Batman.
Speaking of which, the annual pantsless ride should be soon, if not already past, I'll have to check. Every January, an improv group (forget which one) invites any and all who want to join them for a day-long ride around New York on the subway. Without pants. I have not yet seen/participated in this and I'm pretty sure I missed it this year, but one day I mean to.
