shopping cart races

An event created summer of 2009, and held in Anchorage, Alaska on a random Thursday night, where teams of "girlfriends" enjoy a scavenger hunt throughout downtown, stopping at the local bars and misc places along the way. Each team must have a theme, and dress up as well as decorate their shopping cart accordingly. They must also have a digital camera to document their tasks and a check off list for the bartenders at each stop to initial after the specified drink has been drunk. We do not encourage stealing shopping carts and will take full responsibility for such actions once we're arrested, because there's a good chance it'll happen.
B: "what is all this talk about shopping cart races and how did i get involved?"
K: "your girlfriend agreed to it without your knowledge, now you're stuck. It'll be fun, shopping carts, decorations, booze... and possibly an arrest"
B:"i knew if i hung out with people with tattoos and piercings, this would happen..."

Shopping Cart

Dance technique adopted by most white, male teenagers that requires very little rhythm and coordination, but still comes off as looking funny and novel enough not to immediately take them out of contention with the better looking women at a club or a party. The shopping cart is peformed by placing one arm out in front of you, as if guiding an imaginary "cart," while with the other you branch out and clench a fist to any random area above your waist, as if "taking groceries of the shelf." In most cases, men who utilize the shopping cart can get a laugh, but those who use it generally are not the ones scoring with the chicks later. Has been a cornerstone of the white male teenager's limited dance repetoire for almost a decade.
"Ethan, afraid of losing Emily to the latino boy break dancing over on the opposite end of the gymnasium, acted quickly and busted out the shopping cart, which made Emily laugh. He quickly poured her some punch, complimented her on her eyes, and persuaded her to go out and get some fresh air. Without the shopping cart, he'd have to subject himself to talking with a butterface like Brenda."

Shopping cart

A shopping cart is, to the untrained eye, a device for holding your groceries. But, to a skateboarder, a shopping cart is an obstacle you can ollie over, grind, and ride in. To find an abandoned one of these is like finding a ticket to FUN!
Today I ollied over a shopping cart from a 3 foot ledge.

shopping cart gridlock

When you are grocery shopping during the rush hour and you can't get through the aisle because there are too many carts in the way, can't back up either because other shoppers piled in behind you and nobody can move.
