Another played out meme..
Perhaps some of you were at your suburban drone home with your 2.25 kids, 1 dog, soccer mom and Nascar dad, slowing dying a boring death from a pedestrian life. We were there, and wandering about the South Loop, in our pirate regalia (yarggh!).
I'm so embarrassed! That's *exactly* where I was!
Actually, after going on a shopping cart race, I was in my "hip" urban condo, dressed like a zombie pirate, cooking cupcakes, sampling artisanal bacons and blogging about it!
So dressing up as a pirate on a single day along with hundreds(?) of other people means you're not living a "pedestrian life"? Sounds to me like you're over compensating for the other 364 days of shit that you live each year. :-)
