Bayfront balloon rides

A company is planning on offering balloon rides (for 30 people at a time!) over Downtown Miami for $14 a pop. Almost as much fun as Trapeze lessons. (Via 411. The image is obviously a computer rendering.)

    With all the crackpot gunslinging yahoos running amok, you’d have to be out of your gourd to go up in a hot air balloon.

    Anyone unfamiliar with Mr. Whitman’s work should refer to the final authority on the matter.

    Kinky Friedman. Now there’s a contribution to the nation’s arts and letters. He does for music and literature what Richard Speck did for nursing (so long as we’re on this topic).

    Indeed. Plus, he has a website.

    Sure he’s got a website. Who doesn’t? This is the 21st century: even dogshit has a website. Speaking of which, google on “Speck’s Pecs” (I refuse to link it here) to see how far down a hole humanity can plummet.
