B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for February 14, 2025

Let it rain…

Might be a good time to do some sky-writing.

LOOK OUT BELOW!!

Time to drain the vein?

I take it that’s an ACME balloon.

Over the side and you go higher.

A chance to get revenge on a bird!

Just as long as you don’t drift over to a Mysterious Island.

The weatherman said we would be experiencing golden showers today!

Let the people on the ground worry about the warm rain :P

Me never knews there be balloon in B.C.

I recently saw a news item about hot air balloon operators who specifically offer rides to join the “mile high club”. The amenities include a “privacy curtain” hung across the gondola. Wonder how much business they will get today?

Go ahead, we’re not watching.

Not a problem. Hold my beer. Come to think about it, I can’t hold my beer.

Always wondered what those small passing showers while the sun was shining came from.

Lots of comics [and comments] are treading in low waters these days. Maybe a trend from a recent major event that will make ripples for another 4 years.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Enjoy your balloon ride!

Some guys would just let it go over the side, perhaps forgetting that would lighten the load.

The one time I went ballooning this happened to us. The wind just died. We floated in place for about 30 minutes. Still, fun time. Got some great pictures out of it.

He should have made a pee portal hole…

Never having been ballooning, this hadn’t occurred to me. I suppose you could bring some sort of portable toilet. Or some jars. Or, I don’t know, a little hole in the bottom of the gondola. But if you use the last method, don’t be surprised if some angry people are waiting for you when you land.

……don’t look ……….Jane and Grace……..maybe Ethel!!!!!

Isn’t there a drain in that basket? You know, for rainwater and… ;-)

But the loss of weight would take you higher.

Just go over the side. Hope the folks below think it’s raining!

Ya pee in a bottle then throw it overboard.

look out below, ah no worse than a bird dropping his load from 100 feet on to freshly washed and waxed car

Better the bladder than the bowels.

look out below!

As long as he’s not in New Mexico, no one will see him

Freeing? That sounds terrifying.

I remember reading about a WWI pilot who had special pants made and a trap door in his cockpit so when he had the urge, he would fly over the enemy trenches and do his stuff. :-)

Just like traveling on a boat, go over the side. Just be careful you, also, don’t fall over.

You should have thought about that before you left. Just hope it evaporates before it hits the ground … what was the relative humidity again?

I’ve been on one balloon ride. It was a calm day. We were aloft for about an hour and we came down about a mile from where we started.

Word to the wise. If you are going on a balloon ride and you are reasonably tall, wear a broad brimmed fire-proof hat.

Prince’s “Yellow Rain”.

Up that high? Take it over the edge!

I bet that patch on the side of the balloon has a story to tell!

You have it in you to make it rain below you. Just go with the flow

This makes me think of when my brother-in-law took a slow raft trip down a slow river, and when he went under a bridge, you can guess what some guys up on the bridge did.

Just let rip over the side…

Spit into the wind first !!

Be a bird and hang it over the edge! Yellow rain.

See if you can drift over somebody you don’t like first

Yellow rain.
