So some guy in Oregon turned his lawnchair into a hot-air balloon. Pretty sure it was more interesting when Cutter John from the Bloom County comic strip did the same thing in about 1985 - only Opus somehow got tangled up in the mooring lines and went along with. Then Cutter got captured by the Russians and was traded for Bill the Cat (who apparently was a Communist spy, who knew?) and Opus, who the Russians left behind, wandered his way back to Bloom County with a severe case of amnesia.
Definitely more interesting than floating from Oregon to Idaho.
Please tell me there are more fans of Bloom County out in cyberspace than just geeky-ol' me.
Current book-in-progress: The Ivory Tower and Harry Potter (the articles are really interesting)
Current knitted item: I looked at the kntting, does that count (there was another grant due, ack)?
I love Bloom County. Opus and Bill the Cat make me smile...and Milquetoast. (I know..spelling. )
