Balloons Infestation

May 3rd, 2009 Filed under: Life | Tags: flat

Everyone has heard of someone finding something that “fell off the back of a truck”. More often than not this means said thing is stolen, but in this case it’s true. My flat mate really did find a whole bunch of balloons all over the road right outside our house. He got a couple of supermarket bags and collected as much as he could carry.

This put us in the situation were we had literally hundred’s of balloons and nothing to do with them. So the inevitable happened and we just started blowing them up in the lounge while watching T.V. This in itself was no easy task as the balloons were vacuum sealed into bags of five. Once removed from there packaging the balloons were very stiff and needed to be stretched before you were able to blow them up.

So over the last couple of days we managed to blow up half of the balloons we collected. It’s gotten to the point were the balloons are up to our hips and becoming more of a hassle than a novelty. They’re always getting in the way of the T.V. and manage to keep the lounge uncomfortably hot, not to mention omitting a rubbery smell and leaving a rubbery taste in your mouth.

So now we are left with the decision of whether to keep blowing up more balloons, just leave it as is or dispose of the all ready blown up ones some how. Anyone out there got some cool ideas of what we could do with a couple hundred blown up balloons? The funnier the better!
