I see them, lurking in the shadows. I hear them, rubbing in the trees. I smell them, skulking over the hill.
But what do they signify? What do they represent? Joy? Despair? Or is it merely God's way of telling me to get a life?

Why are the balloons stalking me?
And I have been laying off the pot....shhh
Do they float?

They seem to stay in one place. They are green, and have a ridiculously wavy string.

: O
I don't :balloon2: what you're :balloon:ing abou:balloon3:.
oh hey, they come in different colours!
Would you like to ride, in my beautiful balloon? Would you like to ride, in my beautiful balloon?
What colors are it???? :balloon2::balloon2::balloon2::balloon2:
It is not just one, it is many depending on the time it is flown. All the colors of the rainbow, individually or all at once! It is the dawning of the age of aquarious afterall! I don't have 99 red ones though. :(
You don't? A pity...
It is. I became carless one day, turned my eyes for one second, and they all flew away. What were once a beautiful bunch of 99 red baloons became just scattered specks upon the sky. I don't have the will or strength to collect another 99 more. :(Quote:
You don't? A pity...
I hope god can smile upon you, and you and your balloon could be united once more.
I hope so too. But I think that the baloons are well out of reach now. Perhaps, someday, they will make their way back down to Earth a please another with there boyant pleasures, you perhaps. I, well, must do with out those little red 99 friends. One day, and balloon at a time now I guess. 99 someday, but for now, I must be content with one here, one there. I have yet to aquire one though. Excuse me now, for I grow emotional...
I tried to give you 99 balloons, but the board software only allows 50. :help:
Thanks! My collection grows larger! 49 more, and I will let them graze on my balloon pasture and be sure not to let them float away on big dreams of seeing the sky!Quote:

Ah, like I fear my floating 99 might be at this moment. Too keen on appeasing that fascination they have with the sun, a little to close and, 'pop'. Scattered threads of red shreads to litter the floor at my feet! *sob*Quote:
My heart is bursting.
Have you seen any of my 99 return earth bound in full shape, form and color?! Darn ye, could it be so?!Quote:
As a side note, thank you for one of the best moments of my day
Hmmm...when were they lost to you?
Twas perhaps 2 days ago. A pleasant, still afternoon. I held my 99 within both hands and admired the sunlight glowing from atop every rounded curve bobbing within the bunch. My eyes went from one to another, 99 times. I looked at my hands, to note if they were strong enough, and perhaps, worthy enough to hold such a beauty that had daily tranfixed my love. Pleased that my hands were indeed strong enough, though perhaps not quite worthy, I went again to grasp the balloon strings and, well, they were gone. Floating upward toward the sky, no longer within reach. I cried for them to return, but they listened not. Just gaily looked heavenward as the sky beconed them closer. I downcast my eyes and wept. My 99 continued to climb as I wept, I looked up later to see if they would show some pity and return, but all for not, they were gone.Quote:

Balloons can be cruel creatures indeed.
You are so correct. I don't know if I will ever be able to hold another balloon again.Quote:

Just wait. There will be a balloon in your future, and this balloon will mean everything to you. ANd you will not be able to help yourself. You will love again, fear not.
Perhaps. At this point in my life however, I only think I can find true love again, if it falls from the sky and takes my hands within it's delicate balloon string and teaches me to love again. But I do know, that it won't take 99, just one.Quote:

This thread isn't really about balloons anymore is it...
It should be.
I still have no idea what they are about.
Balloons are objects that can bring great happiness or sadness to young and old alike. They can bounce carefree in the air, or pop/deflate without warning. They come in a variety of colors often reflecting the holder of said balloons mood. Balloons are wonderous mysteries, I think that is what this thread has been about all along. What does the balloon oracle have in store for you? Inhale some helium and then, perhaps, you will know!
Pertaining to the guild.
In life, balloons are wondrous things, but here? They are given seemingly without cause... but for what purpose?
Balloons are ceremonial tokens of gratitude given from one member to another I assume. Balloons are more vivid and easier to remember long after a worded compliment has been typed.
Hooray! I have inflated and released a balloon with the message and purpose of this thread tied to it's string. Now, when it lands, someone else can enjoy what you have learned!
Be praised, good sir, and may your message of hope be as lasting as the earth himself
It shall indeed. And may your new found knowledge of balloons in real life and on the .org carry you to new hieghts of understanding and compassion!
Y'all 'do realize there's a Helium shortage in the world, right?
As long as the balloons breed there will be no helium shortage and they shall live on forever! Fret not, squeeky voices and boyant fantasies shall never be forgotten by the likes of us!
