Tournament of Roses Parade

Today is the 122nd edition of the Tournament of Roses Parade known for its plant and flower covered floats (most of which are animated) and equestrian units.

I’ll charitably posit that it’s the plant and flower coverings and not the manure that earns it a spot in the Home and Garden channel line up (it’s also being covered on ABC and NBC).  If I sound a little bitter it’s because I’ve marched in a band behind horses of which there are also plently.

Bands that is.  This year we’ll have the displeasure of being subjected to flower zombie Ronnie on the occasion of his centenary.  The part of him that wasn’t senile was shallow, narcissistic, vapid, and evil.

I’ll try and keep up as best I can.  I’m working to finish up today’s TV and put together a Bowl Game Mania Open Thread so I can ditch out to a party this evening.  I’m skipping Evening Edition but TheMomCat may decide to put something together, I’m leaving it up to her.

So grab your hangover flapjacks and coffee and settle in.
