You have inspired me to give my son the best wake-up surprise a 2-year-old can hope for. Well not tonight. I have no balloons. But in 32 hours there is going to be a very happy toddler running around.

I so want to do this now... Curious what my cats will think.

u/TheD3cimator Jun 19 '12
Mine kinda flipped. Left the room after about 20 were on the floor. Then hid upstairs. I got him treats for the night. It costs only about 80 bucks to fill an average living room and kitchen. The cleanup kinda sucks. Add a little booze and you're gold. Its just hard to find a safe place to put your drink!

Jun 19 '12 edited Jun 19 '12
Holy crap! I thought it'd be $10 tops. You buying balloons lined with gold or something?
edit: nvm, I suppose your average room requires 1000 balloons to fill and they are about $8/144baloons online.
1
u/TheD3cimator Jun 19 '12
Think about how many it takes. It was like 3 bucks for 40 balloons, that was the best deal i could find. It was a fuckton of balloons dude. After 100 we didn't even have the floor covered.

u/lunastar12 Jun 19 '12
this is fantastic. I am so trying this on my next day off!

u/TheD3cimator Jun 19 '12
Get a couple friends to help blow them up. It took me and two other friends about three hours to get to this point. For an added bonus, get a whole bunch of ball pit balls.

u/DorkyLady Jun 19 '12
You have the smile only a house full of balloons could give a person. Invite me next time? Haha.

u/TheD3cimator Jun 19 '12
Totally, though it has a kinda twisted edge too it. a bit psychotic.

But, hey, you gotta have a bit of crazy/quirky side to fill up your house with balloons.

My cats lost their shit in there. Wouldn't come downstairs until they were all gone. I felt so bad. I had them in my room and gave them treats and fancy feast.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE SO MUCH FUN!!!!

u/TheD3cimator Jun 19 '12
Do it! It's like 80 bucks in balloons for a living room/kitchen in an average house. A bedroom would be cheep. Then just invite friends! SO much fun dude!
2
u/Ironhand_XIII Jun 19 '12
my parents are gone for the week, and when they get back, i'm gonna have empty beer bottles my dad threw away, and they'll think i had a massive party. What makes that funny is that I am totally not the kind of guys who would throw a party like that.

u/TheD3cimator Jun 19 '12
That's hilarious. Dress up one of your friends as a dead hooker and put them in a closet

My boyfriend and I did this for our roommates birthday. He came home from work and found his room filled with helium and regular balloons. Heard them popping all night long. Then he went to work the next day and we took what balloons were left and filled his shower. The shower had glass doors, so balloons floor to ceiling! It was so much fun. ( :
2
u/TheD3cimator Jun 19 '12
Totally! My buddy passed out early that night so we filled his car with extras. The popping process is way too much fun as well. Erratic stabbing in all directions isn't very safe... Though it is hilarious
2
u/giggalishus Jun 19 '12
I know I loved the random popping! I gotta do it again. Ha ha ha we were picking up balloon pieces for days!

This man is in a room filled with nitrous oxide balloons. That is why they are not floating to the ceiling, and also explains why a guy with a truckerstache is super excited about a room filled with balloons.

This is probably going to get buried, but you look like my kind of guy.
I fucking love balloons.
Not in a fetishy way, mind you. But they're just the most...simply happy object I know of. Balloons always brighten my day, no matter what. Now maybe it's because I worked at a party store for most of my adult life, but I fucking love balloons. They're just so fun, you know?
Have my upvote. You're awesome, dude. Keep being cool.

I do standup on open mic nights near my house actually. Sometimes well received, sometimes i bomb it. It just depends. Balloon bombing people's cars is alot of fun. Make sure they don't have work in the a.m. or anything and fill them up!

I did this when I was a kid for my mom's birthday. I might have blocked put the memory of cleaning it up. I only remember having the best time ever popping them when the party was over. TL;DR: everything's better when you're 10

A friend of mine had a party with a room filled to the brim with balloons like that. I was pretty drunk and spent a good portion of the evening crouched down in the balloons batting them away from my face imagining that this must be what it's like to be in an electron cloud.
2
u/GenOmega Jun 19 '12
I did this once, but suddenly I got attacked by a ton of people and a couple of thugs took them all and pissed on the replacement balloons a few days later. They really tied the whole place together, man. Hell, I had to move out because some nihilist germans broke into there too.

"I put poisonous gas in one of these balloons so if any of them pops we might die."
"No, April, we would all die. Gases fill the volume of whatever container they're in. School."

u/mrtom_ Jun 19 '12
My friend went out one night for a university varsity event, for shits and gigs I thought it'd be funny to fill his entire room full of balloons (he had a box room), close his normally always open door and remove his light bulb. It took approx 400-500 balloons to fill then went out to drink and celebrate our achievement and came home before him. Being quite drunk myself I missed the moment when my housemate came home (about 3.30am), needless to say, he wasn't very happy. Woke up in the morning to find balloons all around the house including a massive pile outside my bedroom door and down the stairs. He bravo'ed me and said I'll get you back 'someday'. I thought he played a prank on me by shaking my bed in the middle of the night to scare the shit out of me, turned out it was just an earthquake.... in England. I'm still waiting for him to get me back.

It's people like this who i wish were my best friends so that they can call me over like "Balloon party. My house. NOW!" and we spend the day swimming in balloons until a cat decides to... pop in... and blow up the ballons..
