This started with this in a comment to frogs of war:

“How odd about the purple balloons. Dark purple is a royal color.
Such a fuss about colors. The world is made of all of them. Celebrate people.”

I’m a sick, sick person.

Dark purple is a royal color or once it was. Royal Blue was once too, ergo the name. Scarlet stood for bravery, the blood of heroes lost in a cause. White was purity, now it’s an unwritten page.

Such a fuss about colors. The world is made of all of them. In uniqueness are we all different except when we are all in a crowd with our strings tethered together. Then we rub together. The sounds as we bump against each other a carrying vibrating hollow, announcing that we are boinking each other if the voyeurs will listen. Some do and some find amusement watching us do it too. Some will rub us, making us more attractive. The static of our wanting easy to feel when close to our skin.

We do not care about color or size or patterns. We are alike. If you prick us, do we not pop?


Title: Balloons

So the balloon probably have opinions on the way they are gathered. Some people make them all the same height, so the all rub against each other like a cloud, while some people make each a different height so each is shown off to it's best advantage.

do we not pop? Some just sigh as they lose air. And most squeal as they are filled.

Very nice. I might just look at balloons differently after this.

*LAUGHING* You took the metaphor further and more suggestively.
Sighs and squeals as they are filled. *snickers*

*grins* Now I'm thinking of balloon cloud orgies and oh the exhibitionism of balloons on the bottom boinking the ones above.

As you mentioned below you are an innocent uncorrupted person; one who has recently discovered Hercules is televised slash.

The comment to frogs of war was due to a grandfather being uncomfortable that his young grandson asked him to buy him a "purple" balloon.

Hahaha, no, I knew Hercules was homoerotic! Even at 13!

(I'm not that innocent)

I just read this as a beautiful piece about intolerance. And then I reread and it dawned on me. I'm a bit slow...

*smiles* It was both, so you got it right. *hugs*

You're not slow. You're suffering from meiosis of your brain cells. You give half to your baby and both of you need to regrow the other half. Understandably, the baby doesn't find this as debilitating as it is for the mother.

How can something be so sweet as well as ridulously funny?

Only you could write this :D

Loved it. Keep remembering a keyring slogan though: Virginity is like a balloon - one prick and it's gone! ;)

[nae-k.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, I didn't even read it as rude... because I am innocent like that!

[charisstoma.livejournal.com]

Go read the first comment by frogs of war. It becomes even more hilariously rude.

*BLUSHES* Thank you!

Yep. A even a little prick will do you. *snickers*

Go read frogs of war's comment. It becomes even more hilarious.
