Lights....Cameras...Wait what's going on?

My neighborhood is so cool. I've seen quite a lot over the 21 years I've been living here. Yesterday was no different.

We were in a movie. Yeah that's right. Meet the next Nicole Kidman.

Well ok maybe I wasn't in it and maybe it wasn't a movie but a reality TV show!

OK not a reality TV show but a commercial.

Fine. I don't know exactly what it was for but there were cameras. And a golfing cart. Probably to drive all the famous people around. There were so many rumors going around, neighborhood people mumbling something different at every turn, I couldn't find the real story behind these mysterious cameras.

But anyway it was really cool. At first we thought it was just another drug bust or murder, you know the normal stuff, because of all the cop cars. Then we saw a camera and thought, "great it must have been a murder because the local news is here".There was also a helicopter.

So we decided to have our brother, who happened to be driving back from the grocery store, drive by and take a gander. No luck. Everything was blocked off. He walked across the street to the corner and came back to tell us "it's a bunch of corny stuff". He wasn't that far off. They were burning our corner neighbor's corn crops.

Why?? I'm as confused as you are.

My brother later told us it was for a mayonnaise commercial. What does the burning of corn fields have to do with mayonnaise? Is corn like the competition to mayonnaise? I dunno. Nonetheless my friends, this event resulted in yet another uniting of local neighborhood people gathered around to see what was going on. We haven't had a get together of the locals since the last drug bust or wait I think it was since the last fugitive hunt. Or maybe the last arson? I can't quite remember.
