"Learning To Fly"
Pink Floyd

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try

Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Shaggy, Falcon and Scooby Doo?

------------------------

I really want to know how this was slanted by the media overseas!!!

--------------------

Of course he had to jump in the balloon.

Imagine what child protective services would say if you put the kid in Ruby Red Slippers.........

----------------

I do have to say one thing.

If anything, the peeps who chased the balloon down are thankful for a little excitement and a change to their usual chasing down of cats in trees, calls to Grandma's house because she stood up too quickly and little Thelma (Yes we are doing a Scooby Doo thread--Shaggy?) getting her head stuck in the child gate between the kitchen and wash room......

It probably took a few hours off their lives, but we do have a pretty good system of first responders here in the States.


LOLOLOLOL,

I could see someplace like Soviets scrambling MIGs to shoot the little Bees turd down.

Does anyone remember the people that made a balloon to get over the Berlin Wall?

They were showing clips today of the balloon getting loose. It looked like the Dad was the one who let it go. He was trying to act all mad and stuff. I think I was put on myself.

In one of the tv interviews the reporter asked the kid why he didn't come out when he heard them calling him. He said he was told not too. Then his dad hushed him up real fast. Now he changed his story.

And did you notice, there was no basket attached to the balloon when it took off? So much for that theory. I wonder what that deputy had been drinking when he supposedly saw the basket fall off?

That kid has been puking his guts out on national TV - maybe sick of lying?
