@p do you remember, back in the day, probably 1984-ish, when KMET would have a Rose Parade simulcast, and Frazier Smith and Peter Tilden would make fun of the Rose Parade for 2 straight hours and play Metallica over all the matching bands? He'd have Wolfy down reporting on the Parade route, voice over all the Rose Queens saying stuff like "I want to marry a rich guy, have an ugly child by him, get the kid a nose job just like mine, divorce him, and take away everything he loves?"

Maybe being in Pasadena, you were too busy helping out with the Parade, or your parents held it as too sacred for such mockery. But those were some of the happiest memories from my childhood, listening to the simulcast and watching the Parade, laughing my ass off with good ole Mom and Dad. Fun times
