Weekend at Bernies

This post is long overdue my friends. Last weekend the Cardinals were in Chicago playing the Cubs. Not only do I dislike the Cubs since I'm a raging White Sox fan, but I also happen to like the Cards for a national league team. So I decided to go out in Wrigleyville sporting a Cards t-shirt.

As you can imagine all of the Cubs fans really appreciated my enthusiasm. I met some real nutters that wanted to take a picture with me just because of my t-shirt. Since I'm a nice person there are probably photos floating around on Facebook with me and complete strangers. Great.

If you've never been to Bernies, let me paint the picture quickly. 50% of the crowd was trashy and to tan, 40% were unattractive and the other 10% were fairly normal. To display what I mean by trashy and tan, please see exhibit A.


Apologies for the poor shot, I was trying to be stealthy.

The lady and man you are now seeing met 10 minutes prior and 8 minutes later the man's hand was in her pocket. They became fast "friends" (a la spring = mating season in Chicago post). Also please note the extremely fake tan and handkerchief of a shirt this woman is wearing. Just because it's finally above 70 degrees doesn't mean you should lose all sense of what is appropriate for the public eye. And I'm talking about her clothing and that man.

After two hours I put my foot down and made everyone leave Bernies for a better looking bar. What happens when we move next door? There's a random girl walking around with no shoes on. Best of luck to her, I hope she enjoys hepatitis.

While location does play a role, I do think a higher concentration of questionable people (read: idiots) come out once the sun is shining.
