Now, without further ado, I give you pictures of the Lamar Days Parade. Imagine Amos waving a flag and a donut as the parade festivities went by. (He wasn't, but I'll let you devour that precious American moment with some Freedom Fries.)
"Children with Pride". Is that really all it takes to have float in a parade? Pride and a tiny mariachi outfit? As long as they were throwing out candy, I think it satisfied the needs of the Lamar parade watchers.
The biggest duck to ever have been stuffed at the local taxidermy office. Notice the bullet hole near the neck. Apparently, this duck was shot by Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox.
First, I heard music. Some sort of bluesy, classic rock situation. Then, I saw this guy: the creepiest, giant crow man I've ever seen playing a guitar. It's a little difficult to see his huge, creepy beak, but believe me, it's there. Rock on, The Crow.
This fire truck amused me. Just look at it. It has the daintiest steering wheel, and the cutest little basket for holding the fire hose. I can just imagine men in giant firemen hats from the 1920s driving through town like bats out of hell and talking like they are in a James Cagney movie.
"Say, there, see! There's a fire up ahead, don't ya know? Steer this vehicle to the moon and back, brother! Whaddaya know, whaddaya know, see?"
Last, but certainly not least... drum roll, please...
THE COSMIC NERDS OF THE 21ST CENTURY!!
I only caught a picture of the nerds holding the Pierre Auger Cosmic Ray Observatory banner. Believe you me, there was a whole army of astrophysicists behind these people.
To the moon and back, cosmo-juggernauts! Whaddaya whaddaya know, see?!
8 beautiful people muttered something back:
If Amos could have been waving a doughnut, he certainly would have done it. The Daylight Donuts were definitely delicious, if I might say so in the most alliterative way possible.
I'm pretty sure the Lamar Wal-Mart was selling the giant bullets you would need to bring down a duck of that size. Maybe some of the Children with Pride were living inside of it, James and the Giant Peach-style.
Forget the giant bullets at Walmart. Somebody's walking around with a gun big enough to shoot those things!
Phil "wants cotton candy" - Those donuts will be the death of me with all of their rich, gooey innards.
I'm going to have some crazy dreams about giant bullets and kids living inside ducks, thanks to you.
LceeL - I think they used a cannon.
OMG! I think I wet my pants seeing that duck!!!! ROFL!
You know I have problems with ducks when I go for a walk, I will have nightmares about that Duck.
If you didn't want to call them French Fries anymore call them Chips like we do!
Sandy C. - Oops. Sorry. I didn't mean for you to wet your britches. Hahaha.
Stephen - Aw, man. I forgot about your duck troubles. I'll be more careful about posting giant avian creatures in the future.
Freedom Chips?
Last year I went to visit friends who live just outside of Philly. We went to the Narberth Memorial Day Parade. Here's my favorite picture from the parade http://www.flickr.com/photos/thegerlilife/520764522/in/set-72157600284103619/.
Yes, the kids on their bikes and the moms with the strollers were in the parade.
This year I get to visit again, and I too get to be in the parade. Woot!
You know, I've been going to the Lamar Days parade since I was tiny and Feathers is always there. I never noticed the giant bullet hole! How did I miss that? LOL!!!
