The "Papa Johnsons" team at the start of the race outside of Bikini Lounge.
Teams of costumed pranksters rolled their colorfully decorated shopping carts through the streets of downtown Phoenix on Saturday, February 8. It was part of the insane and inane fun of the annual Phoenix Idiotarod, an urban shopping cart race put on by the Arizona Cacophony Society. This year's event featured teams inspired by A Clockwork Orange, White Claw, Cheech & Chong's Up in Smoke, Banksy, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
