The OB Christmas Parade never fails you...almost every entry is typical "OB". My favorites included:
- Silvergate Elementary Unicycle Club
- Tiny's Tavern (local bar) Christmas Elves - looks like they built their float in 30 minutes or less
- Local Volkswagon Club (which included the most awesome VW Karmann Ghia dunebugy I have ever seen and an old VW bug with a train horn installed under the hood)
- "Occupy North Pole" - not sure what the point of that was
- A robotic giraffe (see first photo below) that talked to kids - one tried to pet its leg and the giraffe said "ooohhhh that tickles!"
- The "Happy Funkin' Christmas" float that had a dozen people with "afros" dancing to 70's music" - I could hear them from a block away and I swore they were yelling "happy fu#&ing christmas" on their P.A. system
- The local Surfrider chapter float that had a "ban the plastic" float with a surfer staanding in a plastic bottle "barrel" (see bottom photo) - the driver had a megaphone hooked upto to the front of the truck and broadcasted propaganda while driving down the street
