Mommy, a naked American man stole my balloons!

It looks like he ended up paying a $1500 fine for the opportunity.  Haha.  Somehow I just can't see how a lawn chair and some balloons would qualify as something that violates air traffic control policy.  It'd be like if a little kid put a cardboard box around his skateboard, colored it to look like a car, and scooted down the street.  Is that kid guilty of driving without a license?  Is he?  Haha.  The truth is, we are all guilty.  Guilty of being human beings, damn it!  TeddyR

Didn't someone win a Darwin Award in the past for trying this stunt, panicking, popping too many balloons too quickly and dying during the fast descent?   TongueOut

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
