well, i missed my train to chicago last nite, so im stuck in greenwood for one more day. the only plus side - i will get to see the 70th annual greenwood christmas parade later today. this excites me bc i havent seen it in years and i have great memories watching it as a child. so i sat down just now and browsed thru the lineup for the parade, when it suddenly hit me - i live in redneck country afterall....here are a few examples of the lineup (i shit you not...if im lyin then im dyin...)
#14 : Frosty the Snowman riding a Cannon Motor Co. Chevrolet
#17 : Sylvester the Cat riding a Ricks, Inc. Rhino
#34 : Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer riding a Kirk Auto Co. vehicle
#36 : Catfish Queen
#37 : Elf riding in a vehicle from Buddy Jones Ford
#45 : Bugs Bunny in a Performance Tire Ranger
#51 : Gingerbread Man on a Wade, Inc. John Deere Gator
#113 : Santa Claus
God please dont put santa in a tractor! it will ruin all my childhood innocence. No, if i remember correctly, santa rides on whichever fire engine in town is the newest...you know...just like he does in all the stories... "twas the night before christmas, and all thru the house, children were screaming and hiding under furniture as old st. nick's fire engine, sirens blazing, crashed to a screeching halt on the roof..."
oy vey...merry christmas y'all.
