Did you miss the pre-Thanksgiving Christmas Parade in Downtown Raleigh this past Saturday? Well, if so, you definitely missed a cold morning full of the most grandiose floats in recent (Raleigh) history, including a giant inflatable toilet by the Public Works of the City of Raleigh.

    I laughed when I saw this, and thought it a clever way for the Public Works department to show us what they do smile I also found it amusing, and a bit odd, that the WRAL news folk didn’t even say a word about the toilet… Uhh… hello - there’s a giant toilet in a parade! Say something!

    This pretty much sums up the Raleigh Christmas parade-vulgar, tasteless floats and “marching bands.” I’ve seen enough 300 lb women in sequinned outfits and preschool banners with mispelled words to last me a life time.

    Yo, B, you misspelled “misspelled” and “sequined.” Will you be in the parade next year?

    And “life time” was shortened to one word about 100 years ago, I believe.

    I approve of the Tarheel blue of the banner on the throne. That’s nice.
