Howdy All!

Something that I discovered over the weekend (it's new to me, although I guess
a friend actually discovered it):

For fun, I put two racquet balls inside a 350. The resulting balloon was only
about 20 or 24 inches long. It was a lot of fun for tossing up in the air and
it always bounced kind of strange. Then, a friend picked up an end and threw it
across the room. The balloon went sailing straight through the air (like a
football??) and it sure did look strange! I guess it flew like a missile -
you've got to be careful how hard you throw it!

Anyone else have things that they do with balls inside 350's? I heard about
putting a high bounce ball inside a 350 and then bouncing it, but right now the
only bouncy balls I have are racquet balls (and they are too big).

Oh, another neat thing about putting the racquet balls inside the 350 is that
they look rather strange when they come out of the balloon (because of the balloon skin).
