Following previous near catastrophic rocket firings, I have been advised by my legal team to bring in the New Year with hot air rather than gun powder.
Happy New Year!

Life' s only a Hot Air Balloon
NW Man Lab (Wiesbaden Branch) is pleased to announce the successful launch of 2011 with hot air and tissue paper brought to life with some tar like glutinous paper.
Following previous near catastrophic rocket firings, I have been advised by my legal team to bring in the New Year with hot air rather than gun powder.

Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteI believe that hot air would be a much more original way to bring in the new year, rather than gun powder. Thank goodness the legal team also discouraged helium and fire. :)
Best wishes for the new year!

What a nice ritual. Was it Mrs Nikos suggesting this? Wishing you and the missus all the best for 2011 and always a full plate of meatballs.

Happy new year.Very nice.
ReplyDeleteDear Nikos:
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
I read with great interest that Saint Tarspunk's Abbey, dating back to the 5th Century, was burned to the ground after a pilotless hot air balloon careened into the belfry, igniting 1400 years worth of accumulated pidgeon shit and bird feathers. The article claimed this event occurred on New Year's Eve, and that the authorities were closing in on "The Athenian Ghost," a man identified by his gray K75 (with the authority bars installed upside down).
If they offer a reward, your goose is cooked.

ReplyDeleteYour account is only partially correct but very funny nevertheless.
If I behave well they may let me out for Mardi Gras dressed as a giraffe.
Best wishes

Is this actually a recreation of the Japanese 'fūsen bakudan', or 'balloon bomb' campaign of 1944?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year (if a little late) and a load of balloons to you too.
ReplyDeleteΚαλή χρονιά!
ReplyDeleteWow, so that really worked - well done sir, and a very happy New Year to you and Mrs Nikos!
