No superballs for you, young lady! (or possibly anyone else either...)

I believe that I actually started the superball meme...

[dianec42.livejournal.com]

It's a recurring theme.

Sounds like it was fun! Maybe next year...

I must remember to take mental note of how many Boston fen make an undescribed order from Oriental Trading Company late in December 2007...

It's fun to think about but the hotel would probably freak and ConCom would consider it an unauthorized gravity experiment.

What was the superball meme?

[sunspiral.livejournal.com]

How much fun it would be to dump a box of superballs down that long stairwell from the top, and videotape it from the bottom.

I should mention that when roozle heard me claim to have originated it, she was ready to kill me.

Please don't make your wife kill you.

you're standing at the top of a 14 story stairway that descends, unimpeded except by landings every floor, in zigguraut fashion.

the use of superballs seems obvious.

Ah. We did one superball at a Crystal City hotel with infinite stairs for Evecon 7 way back when.

It bounced... well.

Obvious 'cause we're that sort of geeks. :-)

[flabosib.livejournal.com]

I completely agree--absolutely no superballs for you! You minx!;-)

I have your CD player--my housemate says I get to hold it for ransom or whatever. My daughter says she'd love to have you and Claudia visit real soon! We should work out gory details....

Glad you had fun. Sounds like most folks did.
Hugs.

> escalator breaking: bad!

The escalator didn't break. It got indigestion after it ate the bottom of someone's cloak. So the escalator had to be shut down until someone could come and inspect the escalator.
