Have I Seen It All? Guess Not.

Played tennis up at Welles Park tonight in Ravenswood, and I can't believe what I saw.

Gay men with toy guns!

That's right, the Really Outrageous Twirling Corps (yes, I googled "Chicago Gay Men Rifle Corps" when I got home and found them) was rehearsing right in front of the courts. It's pretty hard trying to concentrate on smashing your first serve in when you keep hearing "It's Raining Men" over and over and over in the background. They even have a drill sargeant, and boy, he watthhh one tough hombre. High point was when he screamed to his charges during a water break that "if you're not drinking, you better be twirling!"
