My wife wants to go up in a hot air balloon for her birthday. Who wants my stuff?

Odd how she wants you to go...while she waits on the ground... 😛

I knew how you would die before I even clicked on the thread 😀

Just get a rope and tie yourself to the balloon. That way, if anybody pushes you out of the basket, you are safely secured. You'll be fine.

I'm kinda jealous. Ballooning sounds awesome and terrifying!

 

[cbrunny]

fuck that noise. We still haven't rescheduled ours. Thankfully.

 

[Krazy4Real]

Since nobody has claimed yet... I will take your stuff. Thanks man!

 

[zinfamous]

The one I heard of that went down caught fire. So a rope probably wouldn't help.

you have a chance to choose to fall to your death or burn to death, so I think that helps.

Isn't doing that quite literally "going up in a ball of flames"?

Umm, show her the thread. Case closed.

How about using a Chain?
Chains are not flammable!!!!!

Not 'up',

True, but they don't fly either without a balloon to be attached to. 🙂

I'm not lying. No lie. I'll just tie my response to the two close examples of "tie" and "lie", tying them to "die." I'm dying to hear your response. 😉

"For identification purposes, just in case." 😉

Wearing fire resistant suits during hot-air balloon rides should be made mandatory.

I agree, may as well just take the balloon and do the "worlds longest bungee jump" once you are at like 1500 feet or however high they typically go.

Those should contain the "splash" when you plummet into the ground as well!
