Won’t You Join In Our Crusade?

Wanting to get involved in a meaningful movement before graduating college, and before it becomes trendy, Suzie MacDuffus and her friend Jennifer Berkowitz are seen here doing what they call ‘BlogChalking’.

Suzi was all too happy to explain the BlogChalking movement.

“It’s, like, a way for us to let the world know about our Blogs. This way, when someone wants to know more about, you know, a Blog, they can just read the sidewalk and find out more about it. So, for example, if someone wanted to know more about my Blog, they could just come here and read this BlogChalk on the street and know that I’m a girl, I like Bon Jovi, I go to school around here and other neat stuff like that.”

When asked what a Blog is, Suzie just shrugs her shoulders.

“I’m not really sure but, like, I think it’s some sort of alternate energy source? Or maybe it’s a way to harness karma or something? To tell the truth I don’t think it really matters what a Blog is because it’s the BlogChalking movement that’s important. Everyone should be doing this because if we don’t, then the terrorists win, right? And who could argue with that?”

Passersby were not impressed with Suzi and Jen’s dedication.

“These girls are wackos.” Said James Douglass, a pamphleteer and part-time musician. “They’re here every day, writing all their vital statistics on the sidewalk for anyone to read. Where they live, what they do, their ages, cup size. Everything! Any psychopath could walk by and learn everything he needed to know about those two morons. Don’t they own a computer? Everyone knows that BlogChalking is a way for Bloggers to find other Bloggers in the same geographical location as themselves. It’s for the web, not the sidewalk. How the hell did they find out about BlogChalking if they aren’t on the web? They’re so freaking stupid!”

Jen feels differently.

“It’s people like that who make me just want to BlogChalk even more. If they only took the time to learn the facts they’d know that BlogChalking can help the starving children in Pakistan.” When asked where Pakistan was on a map Jen replied, “I think it’s somewhere in Ohio. Or maybe Oregon.”

Ignoring the hecklers on the street, Suzi and Jen BlogChalk until all their chalk is gone.

“We don’t really mind all these people making fun of us.” Claims Suzi. “We know that BlogChalking is, like, the only way to help all the families who have lost their homes to the floods in China. And one day, all these people will want to BlogChalk with us to help them and, you know, all the poor, defenseless animals in pharmaceutical science labs, too. Jen and I always join movements and causes at school right when they go out of favor, but not this time. This time we’re, like, first and stuff, so when all these other people want to join, Jen and I will be, like, the president and vice president of the BlogChalk Movement. That’ll be cool.”

Jen adds, “We’re going to BlogChalk until Palestine and Israel make peace because, really, isn’t that what BlogChalking is all about?”
