Wow those are some impressive balloons. I always loved balloons in shape of animals when I was a kid, man I still like those. Good Times.

Kudos to him for his impressive balloon art.

BRB I’m going for a needle.

I never really believed in idol warship, but that Mario got very close to changing my views on that.

&rew @ Jun 11th 2008 12:28AM

I have more thing to add to that:
So thats how Mario jumps so high.

Okay, two things:
Is this a way of anouncing a new Mario spin off, Balloon Mario?

Idol Warship: The Jerusalem Chronicles. What happens when the son of the creator stumbles upon a lost alien craft? Kill 'em all and let his dad sort 'em out.

I made one of Kirby. Just took one pink balloon and a sharpie.

Part of me says this is a complete waste of time. Another part of me says that this is totally super awesome. I am conflicted.

The best wasted time is someone else's wasted time. If someone where to build a 50ft tall shrine to Rick Moranis out of sporks and instant potatoes, that would certainly be the best waste of time of all time.
