A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall What Cindy should never do!

Yeah this is a link, but it's to AOL and it's a news link---I just had to share this--Cindy, don't ever try this at home, look what could happen!

Priest missing after balloon stunt goes wrong.

Bill, you must keep her firmly tethered to the ground once she's all better.

Good luck with that. Bill..maybe she should not see this article at all

You can come to my house anytime, but you won't be going up in the air in a chair with balloons tied to it.

You better just stay on the ground Cindy!!

Everyone have your bb guns prepped for the fourth of July. It may be the only way to keep Cindy grounded.

That is too funny, Loz, and takes us back to when Cindy WAS going to try it!!!

A similar thing happened to an American in California about 10 or 12 years ago. He hitched weather balloons purchased at a military resale shop to his lawn chair during a BBQ and hitched the chair to his pickup truck on a long tether so he could float above the yard and drink his beer. At some point (possibly after finishing his six pack!) he cut the tether to the truck and sailed off, interfering with air traffic over LAX. He had to be rescued by a helicopter and was fined a large sum for sailing through commerical air space.

Can you imagine what those pilots must've thought to see a good ole boy in his lawn chair?

And I agree, it is something Afgrey should never ever never try!

\ OH Goodness, Cindy !!

[color:#009900] I think perhaps you should stay on the ground close to Bill, Lola, & Shadow[/color].

On a serious note real quick, I hope they find the poor guy..... This just happened and they haven't found him yet.

See Cindy, we don't want you floating off and going missing on us.

yep, I second what Loz has just said. :wink:

Holy cr@p, who would of thought that it would really work. Poor guy.
