I has a rainbow
I’ve been playing the Orange balloon game quite assiduously. Or should that be obsessively?
Yes, it should.
Anywhy… when I first signed up I thought “well, only someone who was together enough to get a balloon in the first hour will win this.” And I started 30,328 or thereabouts. So, I decided to give everybody I came across (when I was logged in, obviously) a boost. Just one, to help them out. Anyone who was behind me.
So, I started looking at everyone’s balloons. And there I was, 29,328 or so, while some of them were in the 1,000-2,000 bracket. Which meant they weren’t that far behind me. The bastards.
However… I am now about 558 in the rankings. Yes. I am in the top thousand. And with this comes some kind of enlightenment. A well-being, if you will.
I have to approve all comments here (spotted where this is going?)
Well…
Leave the tag to show your balloon and I’ll give you five boosts. Someone did it for me, so I’m spreading the love. Leave it here in the comments and you’ll get the five before I approve the comment (unless you’ve got five already).
Before you say I’m a comment pimp (which I am, that’s true), just float your balloon past me and I’ll give you them anyway, without you even getting here. So there. Two ways to get free buddy boosts.
By the way, you can’t give me any – right now, anyway. Because some kind person gave five to me. So that’s wahat I’m doing – paying it forward. Do the same, folks.

one more thing – i went to your balloon to see if i could give it a boost, and what do you know, we’re neck and neck!!!
my balloon was right next to yours!

Wow – there’s a bit of a coincidence
Have boosted everybody who’s commented so far. Had a funny moment of “your balloon is not available – maybe it’s being monitored for naughty content” a moment ago. Naughty content? Moi? What naughty content?
Turned out just to be an Internet glitch. Phew!

Give us a boast, and I’ll return the favour!

I will return the favor as well! I’m not sure if I can get a boost or not yet as it seems my balloon is still being monitored. ? : )

Thanks for sharing the love. I’m gonna try your trick of boosting anonymously.
