Macy’s is having a content to design the next balloon for the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Entrants get a solid white elf to paint and submit it online. Then, people with facebook. accounts can vote for their favorite elf and the winner gets turned into a balloon for the parade.

Phillip has entered the following design for an elf he has named “Jimmy HoHo.”

• Jimmy HoHo is a little fellow with a big heart.
• He loves dressing up like a Christmas stocking,
• in hopes that Santa will fill him with treats!

From the email from Phillip: “When we entered the contest, they asked for the name and backstory for the elf.  I tried to come up with something cute and festive.  I think it might have come across as a little kinky.  My dream is to hear the parade commentators say ‘Jimmy HoHo’with a straight face.”

Sometimes, usually in the wee hours of the morning or right after I wake up, I find myself having text message conversations with Phillip (aka @flaggerboy) that are a little bizarre. I find them hilarious. I thought I would share some of them.
