Your pictures say a billion words. You have a fantastical way of putting into story some of the things we've all experienced, but never knew how valuable (read: funny) it was until someone like you puts it into a twisted perspective.
Now, that is refreshing!
If you keep it up, we'll need a 12-step program for laughing too much!!
Mylar balloons are the best sort of best friends because:
*They get wrinkles, too. *They stick around long after the roar of the crowd has died down. *They can get caught in the ceiling fan and call it a good time! (my human friends never seem to enjoy it as much)
Before the Wright Brothers, there was a Frenchman who had an aircraft made, essentially, of balloons attached to a bicycle. He flew it all over Paris and left it parked outside restaurants.

I suppose shooting them is out of the question?
Can we attach kids to those? I'd LOVE to hang the boys from the ceiling some days...LOL
I like your wood floors ; -)
sweet! slingshot target practice.
next thing you know you're gonna tell me that airplanes are STUFFED with them.
I have a neighbor I'd like to attach to one of those. ~Mary
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!
What goes up must come down...eventually.
Yep, those bastards will stick around until you open up a can of whoop-ass on them
(when the kids are sleeping of course)
Good point. Those damn things never come down, do they?
You always know how to look at the fun side of things...

Love the face peeking over the table shot, Anna!
Hahaha - excellent.
In the words of Mr Jellyneck from Strangers with Candy:
"Feel free to get me balloons..but no mylars...please.. I don't have the heart to pop them"
(aaaaand cut!)
HA! We have had hanger-onners around our house for months too. They just shrivel up and die in a little corner of the ceiling, party die-hards.
That's hilarious. They never stay inflated if you want them to.
Excellent question. Also, life jackets. We had one that drifted around our house for months as well.

Way cooler than airplanes....
I think of those balloons as pets. They always seem to follow me around, in my glorious wake.
I heard we're going to the moon again, maybe some "Hello Mr. Moon" balloons will be on-board.
Too funny! Kevlar. I just love the name.....
You can't tell me that balloon was drinking nothing but water. ;-)

In my house the cats get to them first. The strings always end up twisted up in cat poop. Now there is a picture for ya...
Hahahaha! My dog is deathly afraid of balloons, we would have to pop those things right away or else he wouldn't come upstairs.
That balloon is still flying high like drug addicts on PCP
