Up, Up and Away with Shopping Cart Repairman

The Asheville Citizen Times reports on a true hero – a traveling shopping cart repairman who does not let sub-zero temperatures freeze him out of his mission. Some say repairing shopping carts is a spiritual calling, akin to becoming a monk or bartender. Whatever brought Lorenzo Braxton to pursue his calling we salute his dedication!

In Memoriam: David Carradine, Friend of the Shopping Cart

They were known on the street as the Silly Funny Goof Gang. But this puerile moniker cloaked a nefarious assemblage of ruffians who for years terrorized shopping carts on Chicago’s west side. It was early winter 2008, however, as they prepared for their annual Silly Funny Goof Gang Cart Kickaround, that their destructive reign was bitch-slapped into oblivion.

Enter David Carradine. In the last photo taken of the Silly Funny Goof Gang the members are shown giving their secret gang sign to the camera. In the background Mr. Carradine looks on. What followed was described by spectators as a blur of bright cotton and blood.

David Carradine was an unsung hero who vigilantly battled shopping cart abusers wherever they practiced their dark art. For years he walked the blacktop quietly dispensing justice to those who menaced our four wheel friends. He was a friend to the cart, The Center for Prevention of Shopping Cart Abuse salutes him.

A shopping cart abuser masquerading as a peasant leads a shopping cart to would-be doom. In the background David Carradine plays his song of peace moments before unleashing kung fu justice.

We Got You Covered, Baby

Have an infant? Go grocery shopping? The fine folks at My Baby Shopping Cart Covers have what you need. Though we tend to think of shopping carts as the cradle of civilization, they are not necessarily the best cradle for you baby. These puffy inserts score a ten for utility and an eleven for bling. As you glide leisurely down the aisles you may spy other parents dosing their babies with Nyquil to stop the crying. You could not be more at peace. You’re on a zen walkabout with a grocery checklist and ten pounds of fabric stuffed into wire mesh. When you have reached the end of your journey the insert slides neatly from the cart, baby and all, ready to be tossed into your car.

Shopping Carts by Evening Light

The soft afternoon sun hits a pair of carts. Some see beauty in fruit-bearing trees. Some see beauty in child-bearing welfare mothers. But we should all see beauty in grocery-bearing shopping carts.
