NPR had a piece the other evening on the training of balloon handlers for the Macy's parade. Supposedly only two members of the crew have to receive training, and everyone else gets a handout on how to hold the ropes. Seriously. They have a manual.
So this one speaks for itself. By the way, Crusader AXE of the Lost Causes recalls being hung over for home from college Thanksgiving and collapsing in the living room that morning, with the parades on --Macy's, Mummers, and so on. Oh, the Humanity..."look Biff, here comes Snoopy..."
i guess the people want their garfield.. no. the people NEED their garfield. the quitter has many fuzzy memories of hungover holidays. dad is a southern baptist minister. pause a moment to consider how much sense that makes.
so i always did my best to hide the hangover but the thanksgiving that i refused to leave the couch for dinner was kind of a tip-off. at least i made it to their house, what more do they want?
