Death of the Piggy Back Ride
March 23rd, 2006
Dead and gone, people.
Because no matter how much you plead, no matter how much you cite musical montages from your favorite movies, no matter how much you try to convince your partner how much fun they really can be…
No matter how light you are and no matter how strong your friend’s back may be and no matter how much alcohol you’ve both just consumed…
…the Piggy Back Ride is dead.
When did it happen? How did it occur? Why did a world full of happy-go-lucky people suddenly wake up, turn around and tell us to stop trying to jump up on their backs? When did the romantic piggy back ride become extinct? When did it suddenly turn from a carefree sign of wild fun and turn into the most “uncool back-riding hobby of the 21st Century?”
