Streaking? In La Crosse? I’ll pass
Written by Jesse on February 9, 2021
I’m not entirely sure what people get out of running out into the action of a sporting event. Any attention that you get out of it, it’s never positive. And that kind of attention, it comes and goes pretty quick.
Did you see how quick the Bernie Sanders meme came and went? The talk of a streaker at the Super Bowl is sure to fade faster than that. (Even though Kevin Harlan’s radio play by play of the incident was hilarious and will live in infamy. See the video above)
“But Jesse. It’s two days after the game. You’re still talking about it”
Yes. But only because it got me thinking of places locally where it wouldn’t be a great idea to streak.
1. The Oktoberfest Parade.
You’d get busted way before you got started during the parade. The La Crosse Police Department have a way of snuffing out shenanigans that weekend. And even if you did get a couple strides in, you have to remember, the crowd has been drinking since early that morning. They’ll have no problem pointing out you spelled “Prost” wrong while painting it on your booty.
2. Anywhere during a Polar Vortex
One word: Frostbite.
3. French Island
With all the characters that make the Island home, an incident like someone jogging down Bainbridge in the birthday suit, I’m willing to bet a situation like that would barely raise an eyebrow. So any attention you think you’d get, may not come your way.
So after all of this careful thought and scientific examination, there are plenty of other ways of getting attention besides the good ole Strip and Sprint in the Coulee Region. This has been my Ted Talk.
