Was anyone there....

....when they broke the world record balloon launch at Death Valley back in 1983?

I was, and the atmosphere in that stadium was amazing that day!

We're friends. You laugh, I laugh. You cry, I cry. You jump off a bridge, I get in my boat and save your retarded a$$.

We were on this land before paleface arrived. We know it pizzed you off for us to use your land without paying rent.

I apologize that you had to evict us but we couldn't find free rent and plenty of buffalo elsewhere. Thank you for waiting thousand of years to notice and providing all of the free stuff in the meanwhile!

Now launch the balloons and pass the me a quart of liquid pain killer. :)

GO TIGERS!!!

Re: balloons 83


Sep 5, 2013, 8:21 AM

i remember they had posters up all over campus to come help , i bet there were 175-250 people there to help i have no idea how many because we were spread out , i was at gate 1 , i had blood coming out of 2 fingers and a thumb on my right hand and same on left , but the collective gasp as the sky went dark and the beat-down we put on the turtles was completely worth it
