He stood at the top of the escalator shouting, “YOU SHALL NOT PASS! YOU SHALL NOT PASS! YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!” After he stopped the first few with large arms and solid fists, the escalator began funneling more and more people towards him.

After a bit, the crowd (and myself) did pass. I’ve spent more than a few nights wondering what he was really trying to stop.
