[...] That’s why, today on WFME — we would like to officially state our opinion that the prognosis on soup in a bread bowl is very very very bad. Yes, worse than line-stander asker holders. Worse than balloon animals. Far worse than sweating and extremely utterly far worse than thank you notes. Yes, soup in a bread bowl has the worst prognosis in the history of WFME. [...]

I’ve never seen anyone make a hat before out of a balloon. Where can I see this being done? This is my new New Year’s resolution — to learn how to do that.

Hiya Paul, thanks for stopping by my blog! I wasn’t bragging about seeing DIO, I was just sayin that I’ve seen him. Oddly enough, I HAVE seen Winger. (shudder) I’m not bragging about that either.

Can I link you, or do I have to buy a book first?

This reminds me of the time a balloon clown was making hats for the kids at a restaurant. We knew he’d make them for free, but hoped for tips. Not having a dollar, we sent my daughter over to join the crowd with a 5. I think she was about 4 or 5 years old. She walked back across the place to us, cutting across the dance floor, and had a HUGE hat that was like a multi-colored 20 ballon monstrosity. It was at least two feet taller than any of the other hats. Poor baby, as she walked back to our table, people were pointing and smiling all the way and when she got back to us we burst out laughing.

Oh man! You hit the balloon nail on the ballon head with that one. I commute to work on the train. At the end of a long work day, I like to sit and chill with my iPod. But twice a month we get “Balloon Animal Kid” – he runs through each car and makes balloon animals for people (for a small “donation”).

I CAN HEAR THE SQUEEKING OVER MY FRIGGIN’ iPOD!!!

Thank you for showing me that this isn’t torture, instead it’s an opportunity to better myself. Next month I’ll only punch him once.

Brian – Most Orthodox Jews like balloon animals.

Balloon animals are scary because I cannot stand the sound they make. That and the sound of styrofoam.

I went to Universal Citywalk last week and it was scary because not only was everyone an orthodox Jew that day, but everyone was an orthodox Jew headbanging and yelling at a concert!

Oh yeah, and there were like 6 balloon animal artists that day too.

This reminds me of a picnic a previous employer of mine hosted for its employees one year. We were all encouraged to bring our spouses and children. There were tons of games for kids, and the whole thing was sickeningly family-friendly.

Except for the balloons a clown was making. My husband and I could not believe what we were seeing: one child after another running past us wielding enormous, bright-colored penises.

Long penises with really hefty sets of balls. The kids were fighting each other with them, which I guess means they were cock fighting. Some were holding them with two hands, out in front of themselves, perpenâ€œdickâ€ular to their bodies. Even the little girls.

Although my husband and I couldnâ€™t stop laughing, we were scarred by the experience. I canâ€™t imagine the issues those poor kids will have someday.

Oh, you mean an annoying noise kind of like the scrolly wheel thing on my mouse when I read your site?
