Something to make small children cry

As some of you may know, my siblings ran the Chicago Marathon this fall. I made the trip to see the spectacle that is 45,000 crazy bastards who think that running 26.2 miles is a good time, and it did not disappoint. Highlights include what is apparently a somewhat popular activity called joggling, which is a combination of jogging and juggling. National pride was rampant, and from many countries of origin. Some dead musicians were present, as were many aerobic superheroes, including Batman, Robin, Spiderman (who was able to utilize his Spidey senses to elude photographic capture and thus preserve his soul), and what I can only imagine is called America Man (Fuck Yeah is purely optional, but encouraged). Saving the best for last, a slight Chinaman dressed as Minnie Mouse. That's not a typo. My brother in law took pictures and recently set up a photobucket type place on them internets to share them with the world. Here are my favorites. Enjoy.
