Rifle and lots of bullets.

I WANT A GO!
We have to go in order, it goes Me then Simmons then me, you, Simmons, me, me, you, me, Simmons, me, me, me! It makes perfect sense! /Redvsblue reference.


OT: Honestly I wish I could have watched that, it sounds like fun.

EDIT: Move over Inglip, Lord Sarnan has come!

I googled "Sarnan" and was delivered to some home-made old-looking site boasting, "Wrestling tapes." I was afraid to look further, because nothing good could come out of sketchy people on the internet selling tapes.
Unless it was secretly a No More Heroes fan website, but even then, I don't want to watch the kinds of videos Travis watches! D:

Why is it that I keep inadvertently making references to shows I don't watch?

I've been ninja'd by like 5 people already but I'll say it anyway...they shot the balloons with a rifle until it started to fall back to earth.

I like the idea. But this has to be the biggest waste of Helium I've ever seen. It's not like we're running out of it or anything.

How did they lure an old guy, a boy scout and a talking dog into the house? ;)
They didn't mention it, but the talking dog turned out to be impossible to get into the house. Talkign dogs tendto be afraid of heights, they used a talking goat at roughly the same size.

Just too bad this wasn't done before Up! Was released. Would have been the best marketing stunt ever for one of the best movies Pixar has released.
