Pregnant Woman Smoking, Milton Bradley Jersey

Last night, yours truly attended this Yanks-Cubs ritualized beating at Wrigley Field. While the game was somewhat forgettable, a couple of lasting daguerreotypes snapped by yours truly offer more to the curators of this, our stupid civilization.

First we have a pregnant woman smoking just outside the ballpark!

The pregnant woman smoking: She’s in the background, roughly in the middle in a white top. You perhaps can’t tell from the grainy, sepia-toned image provided, but, yes, that’s a cigarette in her hand and the next generation — quite possibly the Pepsi Generation — in her leathery womb. Trust me. Am I judging her? Of course not. In the service of a reduced and, by extension, less painful birth weight, one must do what one must.

Next we have another awful photo. This one is of a kid in a Milton Bradley jersey!

You perhaps can’t tell from the grainy, sepia-toned image provided, but, yes, that’s a Milton Bradley jersey. Trust me. Why is the photo so terrible? Blame the Boost Mobile product line. Or blame the fact that I was trying to be somewhat discreet. Or blame the wholesome, nutritious alcohol coursing through my organ systems. Still, the fact remains: there’s a Cub fan — a Cub fan who is presumably too young for irony — who still wears a Milton Bradley jersey!

Crappy pictures spoken here!
