Stop in for a cup of coffee
I don't know if any of you watched the Macys parade Thursday. Wife is no doubt in the kitchen so I watch the parade and call out the floats, characters, bands, etc... She will glance at the TV when she can. Junior is here and asked her what he can do to help, so she puts him to giving the floors a quick vacuum. So vacuum is running, I can't hear the commentators, and a float character I didn't recognize appears on screen. I ask what/who is that? Junior turns the vacuum off and says, "Dont know. Must be from a video game or something". Then a Star Wars like spaceship comes down, hoovers, grabs the float and speeds away with whatever it was in tow. Place mind blown emoji here LOL. Wife missed it due to a bathroom break.
An hour later, us males are sitting out in the sunshine (another beautiful Thanksgiving day in slabtown. I fire up my propane deep fryer to do the fried okra. A bit of a tradition here, how I get us away from the hen session going on indoors). Last menu item to cook, works great. Never any leftover. Anyway... Junior and I start telling my brother and others what we witnessed during the parade broadcast. My brother asked, "What were yall smoking?". LOL
Since I have not been able to find it on Youtube or anywhere online so I can show it to those who missed it... I'm now wondering, what we were smoking? I've tried several different search terms.
That wasn't the only CGI I saw during the parade. It's definitely not the most important part for me and never will be. I have always appreciated every aspect of the parade production, from marching bands, to float builders, and even the commentators who are working on Thanksgiving day. Long live Macys and American tradition.
