Tomato Dance: Damn You, Cranberry Bog

Submitted by on November 2, 2007 – 1:52 PM7 Comments

Due to the stupid Ocean Spray branded bog out front of 30 Rock (…I don’t know), we had to move to the plaza in front of 10 Rock; I hope I didn’t miss anyone, but I sort of had to do the dance while 1) walking and 2) yelling pointedly about how I was not performing, but rather walking, and therefore did not require a permit. If you couldn’t find me, I apologize (but…I don’t know how that is, because the costume is really big and bright).

Then we had the photo-op portion, during which not only awesome TN readers but also several Japanese tourists had their pictures taken with the big tomato, and then a guy walked by all, “Can I take a bite out of that apple?” And we were all like, “It’s a tomato! And ew!”

Thanks so much to everyone who came out, and who didn’t mind my biffing the steps somewhat (I hope) since I had to dodge foot traffic, planters, et cetera.

    It’s SUPER sad how excited I am to see all of these photos and videos. When will they be posted? I must know!

    BTW, should we all start boycotting Ocean Spray now? lol

    I blame the Russian rent-a-cop for the move. Thanks for the entertainment, Sars. I’ll never look at a tomato the same way again.

    Have you started a Flickr photo pool yet? Considering how many of us were snapping away out there, to paraphrase DeLillo, you’re the most photographed tomato in America!

    I think my favorite part was definitely the little old Japanese man sitting down and putting his arm around you. Just think, you’ll be a part of his family’s
    American memories for ever.

    Also, that apple guy was so gross.

    HA HA HA! […wheeze…] I am sick as a dog or I would have been there today! The photos, I’m sure, do not even come close to documenting the incredible hilarious awesomeness that is Tomato!Sars! My chest is starting to hurt [more] from the laughing. Can’t wait for a video!
