Sunning myself gently out the back (as every Aussie older than 20 must), enjoying coffee, wearing shorts, reading Harpers. Break to tap, tap lovely thing:
Go balloons, go balloons! Go balloons! I don't see anything happening! Go balloons! Go balloons! Go balloons! Standby confetti. Keep coming, balloons. More balloons. Bring it—balloons, balloons, balloons! We want balloons, tons of them. Bring them down. Let them all come. No confetti. No confetti yet. No confetti. All right, go balloons, go balloons. We need more balloons. All balloons! All balloons! Keep going! Come on guys, let's move it. Jesus! We need more balloons. I want all balloons to go, goddammit. Go confetti. Go confetti. More confetti. I want more balloons. What's happening to the balloons? We need more balloons. We need all of them coming down. Go balloons—balloons? What's happening balloons? THERE'S NOT ENOUGH BALLOONS COMING DOWN! All balloons, what the hell! There's nothing falling! What the fuck are you guys doing up there? We want more balloons coming down, more balloons, more balloons, more balloons...
