Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for November 19, 2012

Make this happen, somebody!

A bulbous, bulgy-eyed, vaguely bug-like eagle.

Hammy wants to be Hello Kitty.

Are they taking Last Orders on Twinkies?I mean, the stuff lasts forever. Buy a warehouse load and sell it off over time.

Where’s that petition? I’ll sign!!

It’s Gamera, the giant turtle!

Umm . . . what?

Aspire Hammy, aspire!

@TheTrustedMechanic – what he’s trying to say is, it may take a Presidential Order to get Vern a balloon in the Macy’s Parade. Nothing political there. Settle down and we’ll stop feeding you.

Hammy is suicidal?

Vern is just full of hot air.

@ Kydex29 & Sivadguod

Thank you most kindly.

Your apology would be welcome and accepted..

Oooohh.. Tater Tots! Yum!

@TheTrustedMechanic

Apology accepted with compassion:I am foremost in having a history of mis-judging the intent of another’s motives or words.

I heartily agree with your intent to keep poly tics out of the ‘family section’; we hear more than we need, anyway.Perhaps we can all learn from this to be more cautious when we comment AT fellow posters.

Poor guy didn’t make it in this year, though I’d love to see it. Wikipedia has the skinny. Also fascinating definitions of falloon and balloonicle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macy%27s_Thanksgiving_Day_Parade#Float_introductions

“Look at you, sailing through the air, majestically, like an eagle…piloting a blimp.”
