No matter where you\u2019re watching the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade with your grandma, keep an eye out this year for a little slice of Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Kalahari Resorts \u2014 who have several locations nationwide, including their flagship in the Wisconsin Dells \u2014 makes its parade debut, which means it now has something in common with both Goku and The Elf on the Shelf<\/a>. Billed as the \u201cSplashing Safari Adventure,\u201d the float features all the native African critters that you\u2019ve seen at their Wisconsin Dells resorts, albeit in a somewhat extra fashion.<\/p>\n

Seriously, this thing looks like the recently retired<\/a> Miami Marlins home run sculpture.<\/p>\n

Speaking with NBC15<\/a>, the Dells location\u2019s general manager, John Chasten, seems thrilled about the exposure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey came to us,\u201d Chasten said. \u201cWe were real excited when we found out about the opportunity. It\u2019s a tough parade to get into. You can\u2019t just walk in and say \u2018I want to be in the parade.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Anything that can make a grown man \u201creal excited\u201d about a parade is worth checking out, IMO.<\/p>\n

You can catch the parade on Thursday, Nov. 22 at 9 a.m. on NBC, pending you aren\u2019t terminally hungover from spending Wednesday night with every asshole you ever went to high school with<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
