It's a pretty cheap way to fly. A lawn chair and some party balloons. Oh yeah, don't forget the BB gun.

Just don't wear your wig, Randy. I could cause static.

I just saw the Myth Busters episode where they needed over 3000 carnival baloons to lift a 40# kid off the ground. I remember on of Flys neighbiors plled the flight with balloons and lounger a few years back

I think I'll just keep my lawn chair well-grounded.
