buttcrackmenace: Nov 14, 2007; see its right there in the manual where it says; Grimey Drawer

quote:

As night fell over the East German town of P�ssneck on the evening of 14 September 1979, most of the town�s citizens were busy getting ready for bed. But not G�nter Wetzel. The mason was in his attic, hunched over an old motor-driven sewing machine, desperately working to complete his secret project.

Wetzel and his friend H. Peter Strelzyk and their families had been working on their plan for more than a year and a half, and by now the authorities were looking for them. They were nearly out of time. Wetzel had feigned illness in order to procure five weeks off from work, and during that time he and his friend had collected the materials and laboured over the construction together. This would be their last chance.

Earlier in the day, a strong wind had arisen from the north. These were exactly the conditions that the two families had been waiting for. Around 10:00pm, Wetzel put the finishing touches on the massive patchwork project, then rounded up Strelzyk and prepared to leave. Two hours later the families were en route to a predetermined clearing on a hill by way of automobile and moped. The other components of their project�a steel platform, a homemade gas burner, and a powerful fan�were already packed and ready to go. It was time to attempt the escape.

nomadologique: Mar 9, 2011; DUNK A DILL PICKLE REALDO

me too, op, and let me tell you a very sad and frustrating story

my mother bought me and my dad and my siblings a hot air balloon ride for christmas

well i don't live with my parents, i live quite a ways away, so it's hard to organize a good day for the ride

one day when i was at their house and everybody was around we tried to do the ride but it had to be cancelled because of high winds

the ride had an "expiration date" attached, so they had to go recently, without me

i was disappointed

my mother said she would probably buy another one for me if i wanted
