11/23/2006: The 1993 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!


Happy Thanksgiving, folks! This year has really flown by — tough to imagine that come tomorrow, we’re officially in the Christmas season and totally allowed to cover everything we own in blinking lights and baubles. I’m excited, but I’m also very busy today, so let’s make this quick. Yes, there’s a new Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade review. It’s true, I didn’t let you down. It’s also true that approximately six people read the site on Thanksgiving, but whatever. Finished writing this baby at like 5 in the freakin’ morning, and didn’t have enough gas to copyedit until just a few minutes ago.

It’s the 1993 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! And what a disaster it was! See the drama unfold as criminally powerful winds rip balloons to shreds! There are a lot of words, pictures and videos in this two page feature, which I hope you’ll enjoy, because the fact that I stayed up so late to write it spells a very cranky Matt for the remainder of the holiday. Hey, Aunt Mary? I am going to punch you in the tits and stab you if you take just one more slice of turkey with your god damned fingers.

Use the comments space to talk about your Thanksgiving adventures, thoughts on this year’s parade, Black Friday bullshit and/or what have you. Have a good one!

Lol Kingklash! So true. I love the comparison of gonads being Ron Jeremy and strife being Harry Anderson from Steven King’s IT. “Beep Beep Richy!” By the way, I didn’t know Tim Curry was Penny Wise.

That commercial for “Beethoveen’s 2nd’ is on the tape too..with Grodin saying “No, no, no, no, no!” as the camera cuts to different puppy shots and his shout of “Puppies!” as the stuffed stand-in for one of the puppies goes flying off the skateboard.

They still use the Bart balloon (up to a couple years ago…I haven’t been bothered to get up and watch the parade since then), and it looks so pathetic and lackluster. Most of the color is gone, and the thing just barely retains its air.

Someone please kill it (if it hasn’t been already).

Home sick. Few better ways to spend it than reading an X-E Macy’s Parade article.

And now I’ve got a craving for Wendy’s. ?

Wow… I thought Jonathan Brandis was Tonya Harding at first glance.

Do you think that someone will write a similar review about this years parade is 10-15 years?

Matt,

I’ve have enjoyed your Macy’s Parade highlights, including the 1984 and 1993 verisons of the parade.I was at the 1993 parade, down along Central Park West and the balloons were taking such a beating and it was the coldest parade I have ever attended.My personal favorite of that parade was seeing the return of “Smokey The Bear” after a 12 year hitaus and considering that Smokey was the oldest giant balloon(he made his debut in the 1966 parade)in the 1993 event.I hope that in the future you can add the 1991 & 1992 Macy’s parade highlights so all can enjoy.Keep up the great work Matt.

Interesting tidbit of information concerning the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Remember the women that got hurt when the lamp post fell on her head? Ok..now do you remember the Yankees pitcher crashing his plane into an apartment? He crashed his plane into that lady’s aprtment. Yup..same lady.
