I wanted to poop in a tuba

We went into the city to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade. I am not much of a parade person so in my usual form when I go some where I am not typically thrilled to be I pick out things to make fun of (either the things themselves or by making things up). So during the parade there were High School bands marching and I thought it would be extremely disgusting (and probably funny) if you were to poop in one of the tubas and then see what happened when it was played! I also found that there is a "position" in the marching band which when moving basically has to clinch there butt cheeks as tight as possible and hold there hands at a weird angle at their sides. I did discover later that those people did some amount of conducting but while moving it was CLINCH and MARCH!

The parade had floats with "celebrities" and of course the balloons. Now these balloons were (to me) disappointingly small. I was hoping for some giant beastly balloons but they weren't really too big, some of them were just being blown up by little air machines and sitting on a big cart with wheels instead of flying on helium. The celebrities ranged from some chick from American Idol (who didn't win), the weather guy from Good Morning America and some former Miss America (and many others who were equally "famous").

The only other thing I was curious of was the clowns. There were a couple large groups of clowns including Shriners, that I have to assume were drunk. To be up that early acting like a clown (a poorly dressed clown) you had to have been drinking. I actually decided that I would be more OK with the clowns being drunk (because they weren't great) than them being like that and sober...so in my mind it was funny that they could be drunk that early in the morning!

We might try the Macy's Parade next year, but my stipulation on that is that there is no way we would be making a Thanksgiving Day dinner AND doing that.
