Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
The Columbus Doo Dah Parade is in the Short North, it is an unscheduled event that happens pretty spontaeously each July 4th. The Doo Dah Parade entrants can be very, very colorful. Some are racy, others silly. The floats and folks often portray current events and politics.... local or national. The content is often for mature audiences.
There was a Transformer in the 2009 Doo Dah Parade.... Timely huh? The Transformer 2 Movie, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen just came out in the United States in late June.
Who knew....I thought he was merely a robot... I thought it was clever but I did not get it as I kind of missed the whole Transformer thing...the last time around or even the first time around (when today's young adults paid with Transformers as kids.) It seems some would recognize this as a transformer and even know it's name, Optimus Prime.
The Transformer in the Columbus Doo Dah Parade was NOT just homage to Hasbro and Transformers... This Doo Dah Parade entry was about home 
mortgages as the sign on his back said. He is...
Optimus Sub-Prime
I will have to ask my favorite 6 year old to help me understand Transformers a little bit better. Well 6 years old in a few days. Don't tell him but he's getting a T shirt with a picture of Optimus Prime on it, that T shirt bought two days after the Doo Dah Parade is how I know now the Transformers name is Optimus Prime.
Understanding mortgages can be tricky. I am not sure a lot who got the "sub-prime" mortgages a few years ago understood what they were getting into, maybe they will get their revenge some day...
More about mortgages...

The Short North is a fun place to visit. Always a fun place to go play... I go to the Short North sometimes for the Gallery Hop which is the first Saturday of each month, so the 4th was the July Gallery Hop... we did not go to the Gallery Hop... just down for the Parade in the early afternoon. We usually sit in Victorian Village for the Columbus Doo Dah Parade, not on High Street in the Short North but we were soooooo late and had to park really far east so stopped once we got to High Street and sat on the corner of 1st Avenue and High Street. Not as picturesque with the Donato's and a UDF on the east side of the street.
I work in the north part of Franklin County and the south end of Delaware County.
