The Thanksgiving Parade Goes Horribly Wrong [Full Post]
- Good morning, and a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Welcome to the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.
- That’s right, New York may still be reeling from the fallout of Hurricane Sandy, but you just can’t keep down that New York spirit.
- And here comes the first balloon: why it’s Shrek, the ogre from the movie Shrek!
- And who’s this, coming up behind Shrek? Ohhhhh, your kids certainly know who this is — it’s Shrek again, but this version of Shrek is from Shrek 2.
- Huh, two Shreks?
- Yes, most of the balloons were damaged during the hurricane. Parade organizers were forced to use whatever balloons were left.
- I’m sorry, I’m going to have to interrupt you it looks like the next balloon is coming down the way here. Is that Gumby’s pal Pokey?
- No, that’s Donkey, Shrek’s pal in Shrek, Shrek 2, Shrek the Third, and Shrek Forever After.
- Seems like someone stored the box with all the Shrek balloons, in a high, water-tight place.
- It’s certainly starting to look that way, but what’s this? Oh, this next one doesn’t look like a character from Shrek.
- It does NOT look like that, and yet it is.
- Well, fuck me.
- It’s Puss in Boots from Shrek 2.
- Looks like we’ve reached a break in the balloons, thank God. What do we have here, dancers?
- Yes, this is apparently the cast of Shrek: the musical, here to make me feel like I’m going insane.
- I know that feeling!
- Wait! Is that Snoopy?! Beloved pet to Charlie Brown?!
- No! It’s Shrek!
- Right you are. Even though they look nothing alike, I was clinging to the mad hope that there would be something more than characters from Shrek movies here. [Keep Reading]
