Where was this for my son's pool party last weekend?

We must have spent 3 hours making water balloons for the kids, and my fingers were sore afterwards.

Very soon, I'll be able to do it in mere minutes. My fellow Texan and inventor Josh Malone, along with his kids, developed a much faster way to replace the time-consuming process of filling water balloons.

Malone's device, which can fill 100 balloons in a minute, attaches to the hose directly for one-time use. He calls it "Bunch O Balloons" and launched a Kickstarter campaign for the manufacture-ready project. It's called the"Bunch O Balloons," and if you've ever attempted to fill up more than a few water balloons as we did, you know this is game changing. The balloons even tie themselves!

I recall some water balloon bans — 55 years ago.

The ban didn't stop them. It just made their use more clandestine.

How have I lived my whole life without one of these gadgets? ........... Oh wait, I have never filled a balloon with water and I have never wanted to.

What is wrong with me? :(

Has Michael Bloomberg proposed a ban on them in NYC yet?

He is still dealing with Kramer's oil filled ball.

I remember having water balloon fights as a kid. Those weren’t allowed where you grew up?

This may take some time.

Have you ever danced in the rain ?

Are you a Vegan ?

When entering a Highway, do you yield or merge ?

Until the attorneys get involved, someone will get hurt using his product and they will try to take his zillions away

The worst was when someone managed to pop you one right on the ear. That calls for some garden-hose-jetstream-setting style revenge.

Kick Starter is a wonderful way to fund your ideas.....

A couple years ago I bought a Bug-A-Salt gun from the inventor on Kick Starter

Your question, “What is wrong with me?” can only be answered through the process of elimination.

Your honest answers are imperative.

Have you ever blamed your fart on someone else ?

When backing up in your car, do you look over your shoulder or use the mirrors ?

Are you a “Stacker” of stuff or is everything neatly sorted ?

Have you ever shot at wild critters from your porch ?

Sure, until the government swoops in and puts a stop to the fun.

Why do people want to take away the best parts of childhood. The whole point is that it took time to fill the water balloons and some broke while making them. This kept the ammo building to a minimum, but we stilll had fun doing it.

I have never heard of adults making water balloons for kids to use.

There are a lot of things parents are now doing with their kids that are strange and not a little perplexing.

While walking my dog the other night, I ran across a an empty SUV with the engine running in front of a neighbor’s house and a woman with her children toilet papering the front yard. When I commented about her great parenting skills, she and her children took great offense. She also said that it was the home of a friend.

With friends like these ..... anyway, I hope my comment made her think later on, after she got off her high horse.
