Swine “fou”

I know it isn’t funny to joke around about Swine Flu, but apparently I don’t care.

“Fou” means crazy in french, which is clearly what this man strolling down 3rd Ave yesterday dressed as a pig intended us to think. Here’s how it went down. Also, please enjoy the moment of the clip when he falls off the curb, it’s my favorite part.

On the bus on the way to class, my friend Kelly and I sat and chatted and it went a little something like this:

Kelly: Do you see that guy?

Me: Is he wearing a pig costume? Oh my god this is clearly why I have the Flip Cam.

Kelly: Let’s get off the bus! Let’s get off the bus we can still catch him!

Scrambling, running off the bus, scrambling, running down 3rd Ave. And here is what we found…

I love my life. And for those of you who say this title is in poor taste, I counter with: what fun is a deadly, as-of-yet untreatable, pandemic if we can’t at least make bad puns about it?

Political correctness: 0, Valerie: 1

This would happen to us, and watching this video in Russian just makes me that much happier that we ran off the bus to film this.

Sidenote: I just facebook Scrabble challenged you.
