Dogs are awesome sauce

So it's a bottle of mustard?

Actually, it’s catsup...in some annoying passive aggressive appeal to market to fake Chicagoans who just moved here from Ann Arbor or South Bend or some shit and want to make a big deal about their Chicagoness by vocally tailing about ketchup on hotdogs (which isn’t so much a faux pas as just a thing you wouldn’t think to do).

The militant mustard thing has become the realm of recent Logan Square arrivals with their Chicago flag tee shirts/tats making a big deal about how Chicago they are while they drink craft brews at brunch on the 606 with their rescue dogs and their vape pens and whatnot.

I've never lived in or even visited a city where the city flag is such a THING. Admittedly it's a very nice design, but geez. I think at least 30-40% of the dogs I meet in dog parks, walking, etc have a chicago flag collar. chicago flag tchotchkes must be big business.

Don't the bars represent a bun, and the stars the 4 heaps of veggies that don't belong on a hotdog? Thought so.

Part of the origins of it as a THING is that once upon a time (‘90s, ‘00s, before that?) local punk rockers were actually poor enough that they had to shop at thrift stores. And one cherished item of clothing were second-hand police jackets/coats—because warmth and irony and generally looking tough. These items often still had the city flag patches on ‘em. So the Chicago flag became a kind of grudging symbol of almost ambivalent local pride or scene solidarity.

And because it looked cool and because once upon a time yuppies moving here at least pretended to be part of the cool kids club the flag kinda took off. Now it’s a total basic bitch move.

Unless you’re in my neighborhood or a similarly frozen in time chunk of ye olde bungalow belt...then it could just be actual cops and firefighters. Just look for the blue lives matter America flag sticker (or Infowars crap) to be sure.

Also, to stay topical, here's a Dart update, attempting to look majestically off into the distance, but having forgotten to fully retract his tongue

the link is not working for me but I imagine I get the jist of it. Dogs make things more enjoyable. Myself could not imagine going hiking, running, backpacking, road trips, travel without a dog. Then you got the coming home (especialloy if you live alone) .
