It's Monday morning after the Boilermaker Regional. It seems that some TechnoKats got up early this morning and ballooned my office. This is awesome... I am very proud of this team. I would be smiling more, but it is Monday morning, after all.
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!

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!

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. 
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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Re: pic: Balloon Surprise at AndyMark
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...

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?
