Dodgers replacing fireworks with…drones

Post by Big Amoco Sign »

Wonder if this catches on... I love fireworks but I guess I get it if you have PTSD from being in the army or something. After thinking about it, I guess it makes sense in fire-prone areas. Wonder if other dry cities follow suit.

I can see them moving away from fireworks, too, but I just knew, without even playing the video, that Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" was going to be the soundtrack. Even that has creepy Apocalypse Now vibes to me.

Drones are a one time fixed cost, so that's probably attractive to teams. It wouldn't surprise me if some upstart company even offered to do the shows for free in exchange for some cross-marketing opportunity. "DroneCo(tm), the Official Drone of the Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles!"

Hell, I could give one of my seventy-minute literature lectures at a fraction of the cost.

Really, after a Dodgers win, what better way to celebrate than an hour-plus lecture on the most obscure literary devices of 20th Century South Eastern Quaker Women’s prose? There is no better way.

To be fair, the 21st Century Indiana Mennonite Blank-Verse Drama lecture might be even more scintillating.
