re: #94 mich-again

Back when the kids were smaller I used to like to take a party balloon off the table at Chuck E Cheese and see how big of a piece of pizza crust I could attach to the string so the balloon would just hover across the room with the hanging piece of crust.

When I was growing up, my grandparents lived in New Orleans, and they rented the front half of the bottom floor of their house to a dentist (for his office).

The guy was crazy. But tons of fun, every time we’d visit he’d fill balloons and tie some weird stuff to the bottom and let ‘em float on up and out. We loved it.
