Balloon Party results!

I apologize for the lateness of the results. I really had a tough time deciding on the winner. I loved everything that you guys wrote! Who knew that we could get so much mileage using balloons as a topic? In the end I had to go with Octopunk because he was able to tie all of our weird stories together. Cat, I love where you took the “Jimmy” story. JPX, I thought your Chris/Jennifer story was hilarious, especially when you had Chris “wear” the balloon.

Congratulations, Octopunk, you really made me chuckle.

Congrats Octo I was also impressed with your choice to jump in on every story.

Whirly, that was great fun. Way to think outside the box;)

I second that congrats, Octo! I was supremely disappointed that the Horrorthonners who were most vocal about keeping something going on HHD did not participate. Diffusion of responsibility? Where was everyone? This was a fun one and I think people missed out. I hope you come up with something new and original =)

So much time to prepare! I will likely come up with something hackneyed and derivative. (Which I would've done anyway.)

Thanks Whirly!

They did miss out JPX, that was really fun.

alright, i guess i gotta eat some crow here.

i think where whirly has an aversion to poems i have an aversion to...i dunno...rules?

i do think the idea had pop, the way the finish it friday did -- of course, i never made much of a contribution to that either.

anyway, i was glad there was good output for last week's contest even with the shortage of participants, myself included.

nice work octo, and whirly too.
