Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for August 10, 2010

Humility should be recognized, and praised to the skies.

Broomie is humble and has a lot to be humble about.

Is humility and humble about the same thing?

MORNING: ML

ML; Before it wasn’t safe to be in Yellowstone because of the bear attack and now Bonnie & Clyde are there.

Am I the only one here cynical enough to doubt Broomie’s humility?

(Please don’t tell her what I just said!)

UH-HUH

Very humble, Broomie

i like Gaylord’s reading chair. It floats.

I want to get a lawn chair and a zillion helium baloons and float in a chair.

Oh, it’s hard to be Humble. When your perfect in every way.

He reads you like an open book, Broomie.

Uh- huh

N7326 Foxtrot

didn’t they try that with a 6 year old on Mythbusters? well maybe not a zillion but it took a whole lot just to get the kid off the ground

(Screaming out an open window) I’M THE MOST PRIVATE AND HUMBLE GUY IN TOWN, AND I DON’T CARE WHO KNOWS IT!!!

Ever hear the Weird Al Yankovic song “Amish Paradise”?

Give her a large slice of humble pie.

Her humility is awe-full.

Hm, William, you and C.S. Lewis are thinking along the same lines. He had Screwtape advise Wormwood to induce the state of mind in his human “patient” as follows: “By Jove, I’m being humble!” (and be proud of it, of course).

@N7326 Foxtrot re Lawnchair balloons

@bald 716 re Mythbusters lifting girls with balloons

Yah, Mythbusters did both.

They hoisted Adam Savage in a lawn chair with about 40 to 50 weather balloons.

That event wasn’t a myth btw, it actually happened in Long Beach, CA. The guy’s name was Larry Walters.

Mythbusters also hoisted one of the camera guy’s little 4 year old girl (weighing 44 pounds) with about 3500 toy balloons.

edit Wikipedia says Savage only needed 16 weather balloons, altho Walters had 45. Maybe the Mythbusters had access to larger balloons.
