In some respects it may not be a bad idea to back off on helium if not for two reasons. 1. Helium balloons always give license to some one to crack one open and do their impersonation of Alvin and the chipmunks. 2. We would never again have to listen and watch as a screaming toddler who's trip to the state fair has suddenly gone into the gutter reaches helplessly to the sky as their beloved balloon drifts heavenward into the blades of a 737 cruising at 25k feet.

Even pictures of balloons on Birthday wrapping paper would have to be redesigned to show them laying on the ground. And, it would put the mylar people completely out of business. Shudder. But then, I look on the bright side. I started hating balloons when my kids started wanting to take them home from Red Robin, then they'd be bouncing around in the car while I was driving, hitting me on the head, and blocking my view. And then they'd pop, and kids would scream, and I would nearly lose control of the car. And they want to ban cell phone use while driving? So, birthday parties would be a bit flatter, but it would make driving a whole lot safer. Wow… if this is true, it could change everything.

I read somewhere that Vidal Castrol died in Cuba where he was dying up till that moment. Now there's a guy I suspect has tanks and tanks of hydrogen somewhere. And he smokes cigars too, which if you ask me is a smoking gun about it. But now that he died, nobody knows where those hydrogen tanks are, unless his brother Raymond knows, which he probably doesn't because he looks kind of like the dumb brother and Castrol would no way tell him. But you just wait. Soon they'll be floating balloons all over Cuba and there's not a thing this great country can do about it except maybe try another missile crisis again but do it better than the one we tried before. Maybe this time we could drop a hydrogen bomb on them for irony. Well that’s another thing I am convicted about which is communists.

You have been DUGG. :-) ThirstyJon P.S. It is finally time for some intelligent debate and discoursions in this great country before the humanitists-poor people-communists like Hillary or George take us all over for tyranny for themselves. P.P.S And it is high time we all wake up about Helium and Hydrogen and stopping future Doosinbergs! This is the best intellectual, philosophical, political blog I have found on the internet.

You have been DUGG.
