A Perfect Day For Mopery

 

UW Madison Memorial Union Terrace

"Mopery is a vague, informal name for minor offenses. The word is based on the verb to mope, which originally meant "to wander aimlessly"." -- from Wikipedia

Mopery appears in William Shakespeare's works. I first read it in a Mike Royko column from the 1980s. In a subsequent column, Royko gave it more of a criminal spin by referring to a Chicagoan's actions as "aggravated mopery."

Enjoy these summer months, via mopery or any of your favorite pastimes.
