Happy Thanksgiving!

[cleolinda]

So, what are we eating today?

(I don't actually know. I saw four pies downstairs, that's all I know. There might be a white chocolate cheesecake?)

ETA: EPIC NATIONAL RICKROLL. Man, the Macy's Parade got the man himself to do it. I don't think anyone can ever do it again. There will be no greater Rickroll.

CLEO

Thanksgiving just got Rickrolled. Rick Astley appeared on one of the floats in the Macy's Parade.

I don't see how this is so hard to explain.

"See, Mom, there's this prank you can play on your Internet friends, where you tell them something really interesting and then point to a link they can click to learn more, and if they don't pay attention they end up starting this Rick Astley song. No, I don't know why that song. Probably because it's impossible to forget once you hear it. Mom, this thing is so big that at least one international paper put an article in their online edition about it and one of the links WAS A RICKROLL. Anyway, look. People tune in to the Macy's Day Parade expecting, you know, balloons and stuff, and there's Rick Astley singing that song, and rolling along on a float. BIGGEST RICKROLL EVER, geddit?

"Okay, look, Mom, when you were my age, people followed a band around the entire country, full time. So explain that one."

and the best part was one of the little characters at the end of the song said "I love rickrolling!"

My kids had to rewind the tv just to make sure that was really it.
