Your Parade and March of the Wooden Soldiers Thanksgiving Morning Thread

Because as we know it isn’t Thanksgiving until you hear:

Because March of the Wooden Soldiers (aka Babes in Toyland) is a timeless classic, no matter how much it’s aged (and in several ways poorly)

As of now Madre Weaselo’s at the apartment so she can get a head start on cooking, Sesame Street’s singing Sing at the parade, and it is craptastic out so we haven’t heard enough about the balloons and have mostly heard about the bands.

Other random sports updates:
Ding Liren and Gukesh D are currently tied 1.5-1.5 after three matches in the FIDE World Chess Championship after Gukesh won yesterday with the white pieces after losing Match 1 with the same pieces. Today is a rest day with the next three matches being played in the three days after. The championship is 14 games (7 white, 7 black), with tiebreakers potentially afterwards with shorter and shorter time controls (starting with 4 Rapid games, 15 minutes with a 10-second bonus per move; then shortening from there).

Marble League 2024: OOOOOOOOOOO my goodness, guess who didn’t qualify? Yes, the O’rangers (and Mellow Yellow) join the list of fallen champions, where I believe out of the Original 16 the only team that hasn’t been relegated are the Savage Speeders. For fuck’s sake, the Solar Flares qualified! We didn’t even know that was allowed and a thing they could do!

What’s on right now?
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, at least in New York (multiple channels)
MST3K marathon? (YouTube)
March of the Wooden Soldiers (later, or is that just a WPIX thing?)

Okay, we’ve hit word count, so let’s just do it until we get to the football.
