The grass people that performed at the Bad Bunny half time show at the Superbowl!

The memes just keep getting better and better. They rejoiced being a part of the show and everyone's imagination took flight. And, make no mistake that this was exactly a very Latin American moment, since learning how to laugh and take joy in life when you barely have two sticks to rub together is a cultural phenomenon -- a gift.

1. Apparently, the field there is grass, & there's a limit to the number of vehicles that are allowed on the field,

& the grass was going to be driven in on pallets or flats or something, but other equipment that was also to be driven in was more important, so people-as-grass was their very creative solution.

I didn't watch the game but found the half time show on YT & watched. I really had no idea what to expect from what I'd read, but it was so energetic & fun! Kudos to the NFL for not giving into pressure!

I found this 1-minute vid of one of the grass people about his experience.

Hey, do you want to be grass?

2. Not just any grass, it was sugar cane!

5. Sugar cane in its early stage of growth.

Having had the joy of coming across the stalks on a mountain hike with my uncle, I recognize it by its glorious purplish reddish ripe cane. Not enough green leaves to hide anyone at that stage, however.

Oh, and it helped that he carried a machete with him

But, yes, there was symbolism in it being sugar cane grasses.
