Oh? We’ve had better on our side of the line…

Good morning, Netizens…

Picture of the Day: June 20, 2009 Clifford DesPeaux/seattlepi.com Fremont Solstice Parade participants dress in plastic grocery bags. ( Clifford DesPeaux/seattlepi.com )

Oh? This picture of the day reminds me of the gathering of the Huckleberries Online Faithful held in Idaho recently which, to my opinion, beats this picture down pat. Not to be outdone by the residents of Seattle in their brash, irreverent parade celebrating the arrival of summer, one of the Huckleberries Online Faithful came to HBO’s party fashionably attired in a dress adorned with condums .

While we may not have had naked bicyclists who tended to stand out in the parade, nor some of the more esoteric entries, that memory of the condum dress will stick in my memory forever.
