Hot Air from New York

On Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving volunteers for Macy's inflate the large helium balloons that float over the Thanksgiving Day Parade. It has become quite a big event.

Don't you know looking at a frog's butt is rude? LOL, looks like you had a good time

[FantasticBabblings]

But it's so green and shiny, is a frog's hiney.

PIKA, PIKA! Pikachuuuuuuu!!!!

[FantasticBabblings]

What is Pikachu anyway? A nose booger?

Those balloons are amazing, they look pretty big.

Where do they store them for the rest of the year?

Enjoy the parade :)

[FantasticBabblings]

They stay at the North Pole for the rest of the year, of course. Either that or a warehouse in New Jersey - where there is a large inflatable Jimmy Hoffa balloon.

I wonder what the 82nd Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will be like?.

[StefanoFan27]

Wow. That's Terrific. I Can't Wait To See These Bad Boys At This Year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. My Favorite One Is The Pikachu Balloon. That's My Favorite One. I Wonder If The Pikachu Balloon (a.k.a my favorite balloon) Is Going to be at this year's Macy's Thanksgiving day parade?. So Anyway, Kudos to you, FantasticBabblings, My Hats Off To You.

Sad sad show...I would have liked to see them when they were ACTUALLY floating in the air! No pizazz, no content, and most importantly NO ACTION! where's the &@#$%$# ACTION! SHAME on you for creating such lame entertainment. I will give you only ONE STAR simply because I enjoyed flogging you way too much! tsk tsk...

I thought that snow man was cute.

[gguider]

They look good!

How high do they fly them???

Phil I'm so glad you did this. I was hoping someone from NY would post some videos of the parade or events! It was great watching the parade after visiting NY because I actually knew some of the streets and locations!

i grew up in NY and i never ever had any interest in this. LOL!
