Way to go, sister. Um, er, Andy.
Hope it all worked out with your team members and the police.
Bet the girls have some fun with these balloons later on today.
Congrats guys!
Jane
After the exciting finals and chairman's win, I'm surprised any of the 'Kats had any wind left!

There isn't nearly enough balloons there in that office. :p
I'm reminded of a video I saw Billfed post a while back when he was at school.
I'll let him elaborate on that balloon story if he wants to though. :cool:

That is cool, you guys did great! It was quite odd to see sister Andy walking around even after I saw the pic of CD.
P.S. Thanks for the help on the bumper rules

"...378 latex balloons, used..." Oh, sorry, this isn't the place for the Blues Brothers' references, is it? :) ... Congrats 45!!!!

Did the police have SCMODS?
(State, County, Municipal Offender Data System....just watch the darn movie!)
Nice. You know your a FIRST nerd when your team risks arrest to put balloons in your office :P
From what I hear, the students who did this went through some turmoil to make this happen... they even had a run-in with the police!
Yeah, I heard they got popped...

Andy, don't let this little guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27dBi4sQfDM&feature=channel) into your office!

As for the Cops part, we walked into the building legally and we didn't know the code to the alarm as it started going off. We were scared stiff, so we walked out and started to wait since we knew it would eventually call the cops. When they finally arrived, we told them what was going on, so they told us to come in tomorrow (today) and do it when the alarm was off. Got to love the police who allow us to continue! :D

Close -- I believe the actual count of balloons was 396.
(And I believe the quote should use the word "soiled".)

That was about 700-800 balloons filled up in 2 hours by about 8 guys on my floor.
It was on my list of things to do.
All I can say is, be happy it was balloons and not confetti. That stuff stays in your keyboard forever.

I could not agree more about the confetti. The only way to get it out is to remove the keys, and as a computer tech, that is not something that I like to do:mad:

Agreed. That would let all the air out of the fun, and just deflate everyone's mood.

Brandon,
We need a "disable lavery" button, pronto. He's going to hurt himself doing this and what's worse is I've got to see it unfold here, painfully.
Raul,
"Keyboard cleaning duty" sounds like a great off-season project for 111's software guys. You need to keep them trained to endure the redundant pain and never ending loop. :)

but lavery doesn't actually type, he-leaum on the keyboard and words come out.

Sheesh. And I had been in such a buoyant mood...

Or silly string - although that stuff is more fun to shoot at teammates - especially when they think they have all the "ammo" and don't know you have two cans of it hiding behind you as you exit the team bus.
And I think we're all full of hot air....:)

When it bursts the inflated air from our puns will expand into the atmosphere.

All that hot air might actually cause global warming.

You guys are raving balloonatics!
Great. The balloonacy has gotten to me, too.
The Golden Age of Ballooning can be said to begin in 1783 ... when the Montgolfier brothers made their first ascent in a fire balloon. On the eve of that ... momentous ascent, the brothers took one last look at their craft, as it stood on the field of Annencay.
Joseph : It is a great moment for France.
Jacques : Ah, oui!
Joseph : First ascent in a hot-air balloon, by the Montgolfier brothers - 1783 ... I can see us now... just after Montesquieu and just before Mozart.
... and it was at that moment that Andy "Jacques" Baker had an idea...

and believed that adding a small fan to the back of that fire-balloon would give it propellation in the near zero friction of a 45 foot altitude.
i heard the balloon flew 234 feet ...

Oh buoy, that could be a downer.
The longer this thread, the more attractive to airheads...

Maybe you shouldn't have been impersonating a couple of criminals. Afterall, haven't you seen all the effort that those cops go through to try and catch the real Jake and Elwood? At least the cops didn't find Sister Baker. That might have been a real story for them to tell.

Who knew Baker, the pig farming gearbox builder, was actually a French double-agent? This whole thing reads like a spreading airborne virus, emanating from Herdon, VA and adversely affecting even the best of minds across the country. Anyone have the CDC's hotline number?
Anyone have the CDC's hotline number?
I think it's 9-1-2.
And, Mr. Lavery, Jacques' brother is more well-known by his childhood nickname, Strap.
