QuoteA Yonkers man dressed as a clown died Thursday after he collapsed while marching in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, authorities said.
Robert Blasetti, 67, was entertaining a cheerful crowd of people on Sixth Ave. and W. 39th St. when he fell to the ground about 9 a.m. His wife was nearby, also dressed as a clown.
Blasetti was taken to St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, where he died from cardiac arrest.

Naturally, leave it to the Post to get the sensitive shot.



Yes, it's OK to snicker.  Remember, he was a clown, and it was for entertainment.

I feel like shit today, sneezing like crazy. And I'm set to go off on a 3 day trip to Nagoya tomorrow morning. Timing; I suck at it.

A quick look at the stats says no.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

 Man, speaking of pure Japanese maidens, my favourite among them says she went to a shrine to pray for my acceptance in the JET program. What can one man do when faced with such reckless displays of delightful behavior?

One man?  Quite a lot.  You?  Not so much.

There's a good 70-80 cubic metres flowing past my place at the moment so this seems appropriate on more than one level:

[Raz]That reminds me of the time I went to Walmart and someone wanted the phone I wanted.  I started hitting him eventually two guys in blue smocks and Walmart badges came up.  They asked me what I was doing, and I replied "Black Friday shopping."

They looked at me and said "It is July 17th."[/Raz]
