I love a parade. It's true. Especially my local Christmas parade. You may remember last year's parade in which a guy dressed as a pint o' Guinness fell off a float and rolled into the cameraman for the local news.
Good times.
This year marked a change in the local Christmas parade. The safety of the parade marchers was put above everything else, meaning the pint o' Guinness wasn't on the float rocking out to the live band. Instead, he was firmly tethered to the bed of the pick up truck by a thick strap. It was safer, but it severely limited his killer dances moves to the Cheese Weasels' live music.
Gotta be honest with you. Safer = less fun for me.
In what I'm taking to be a sure sign that the economy is improving, the candy thrown out to spectators this year was top notch. We're talking full sized candy canes, gum and Tootsie Rolls. Tootsie Rolls are my favorite. Sure they look like little turds, but mmm mmm. They are deelish.
Pin It Now!
