Redistributing the Wealth

A friend sent me this and as a person who works for tips, found it interesting, but also scary in concept. Here’s the story… Today  on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read  “Vote Obama, I need the money.” I laughed. Once in  the restaurant my server had on a “Obama [...]

Concealing a Fart with Balloon Animals

Please help the balloon community fight  against this bill by going to Save the Balloons Other posts and [...]

The Story Behind the Marshmallow Shooter

The other day I was googling the Internet around 12:20 am for balloon information and I came across a blog that had a link to my YouTube patriotic rib instructions. I explored the site and thought it was one of the coolest website that I have seen in a longtime. The website howtoons.com [...]
