Happy Thanksgiving, people! The trial won't be until Decemberish, so I have some time to practice escaping from a courtroom filled with cops.
Well, something unexpected happened today. Something that never happened before, at least not that I know of.
Someone hijacked a float during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
I always watched the parade from a rooftop. Yeah, I freeze my butt off, but it's some view! Well, I was watching the parade when suddenly I see the big stupid-looking turkey float pick up speed. People jump off it and I see it heading straight for a crowd of people who are handling the Shrek balloon.
I jumped into action, bouncing off of the giant Shrek and landing on the speeding turkey platform. I opened a hatch below that leads to the secret place where the driver hides out. The man at the wheel is drunk, and then the real driver is unconscious. Before the guy even knew what happened, I butted the guy with my elbow and he fell over, out like a light. So then I pulled the emergency break, and I heard the float screech, but we were still skidding too fast! So I jumped back outside into the cold, hearing people scream, and I jumped behind the float.
I used the trick often, and I hoped it would work again as I sprayed multiple web lines that attached to the back of the float. I yanked down and pulled, trying to stop it from crashing into the Shrek crowd. It was not going to work, I knew that. But it had slowed down a lot. So I leaped to the front and braced myself, as I stuck out two hands and tried to stop the float with my own body strength. Now that I think of it, that was a dumb idea. I mean, really--who in their right minds jumps in front of a speeding float?
But sooner or later the float stopped...a good distance away from the Shrek people, but close enough to give them a scare.
And then I hear policemen screaming, "Don't let him get away!"
"Aw, come on! I just saved Shrek!" I shouted back at them.
I jumped on top of the still stupid-looking turkey as NYPD officers surrounded men, guns drawn. My hands were up, but I was not going to surrender. Haha. Yeah, like that'll ever happen.
I pointed to the hatch. "Down there you'll find the real driver and a drunk who thought he'd give it a joy ride."
"You mean, you didn't hijack it?"
I laughed. "No! I stopped it from killing Shrek!" I then cupped my hands around my mouth and shouted, "You're welcome, Shrek!"
And that was when I finally snapped and told them, "Happy Thanksgiving, officers." Yeah. I told people who were gonna arrest me to have a happy Thanksgiving. I'm a good person.
