Rose Parade Float
 

Boeing is sponsoring a Rose Parade float again this (next) year. They posted on their website, a call for employee volunteers to work on it. They said if you've never worked on any of the previous floats, you would be provided with a tee shirt that says Boeing Float Volunteer. If you worked on previous floats you should still have your tee shirt. :eek:
Anyway, they describe it thusly;
This year's 115th Annual Tournament of Roses Parade theme is "Music, Music, Music." Boeing employees were solicited for float ideas, and the "Music of the Spheres" theme (submitted in variations by several employees) was nominated and selected as this year's Boeing float theme. "Music of the Spheres" refers to Pythagoras' theories relating mathematics to music. The float, which is dominated by Pythagoras himself, will feature the tools of mathematics, musical notes of the major scale and celestial charts at the front of the float, and the "abstract" art of musical and planetary movement at the rear. The ratios in the gyroscope that Pythagoras will hold in his hands are those of a major musical scale.
Remember you saw it first in the Cellar.

Let me guess Bruce...you're going to be Pythagoras?

Homey don't float.;)

The salt water could help you with that.

That wasn't, by chance, designed by a comittee?

Designed? Feh, concocted maybe.
Oh I'm sure with all those flowers it will be striking and maybe even lovely. But the whole Pythagoras thing for music themed parade is a little to PBS/NPR for me. There are so many cool things that could be done with a music theme. (Sigh) Eggheads.

One word: "Deathmobile"

No, no..bad corporate image. Hmmm..... a few bucks to the right hands...and maybe a bottle of booze...hmmm.:D
