Ah, for the good old days of the Great Depression.
Listen to the news these days and you'd think you'd gone back there, except for the lack of stories that are meant to take our minds off the gloom and doom.
Where's the flagpole sitters when we need them?
In this digital age of instant communication, sitting on a pole for days at a time won't do. We want something bizarre, yes, but we want something we can relate to. We want our own idiocy for our own economic melt-down.
We want a pub crawl.....with Snuggies.
Is there anything more absurd than a blanket with sleeves? What kind of mind dreams up such things? More to the point, what kind of person would even think to combine a sleeved blanket with a pub crawl?
The Snuggie Pub Crawl stumbled out of the minds of two Chicagoans who have clearly endured a long, hard winter. Day and time have yet to be determined, but Snuggie weather won't last forever and you'll want to get yours in plenty of time. The idea is to wear a Snuggie while enjoying some of Chicago's finer establishments. Silly, like sitting on a pole, without any purpose, but at least there's alcohol involved and that makes things all better.
Before long, your television screen will be filled with images of drunken sots, reveling while clad in Snuggies. Won't that make you feel good, after you've checked the state of your stock portfolio and spent eight hours at work, worrying about losing the job?
