This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Missed opportunity there: get more seats installed or attach the balloon to a bus or something, I don't know - and whenever the earth below rotates to where your destination is, just yeet yourself out Felix Baumgartner style.

More people means more profit and fewer busloon trips needed, meaning the eco footprint is smaller and you'll get a Christmas card off a random polar bear/penguin thanking you your service.

The only minor inconvenience I can think of is that your parachute effectively takes up your carry-on luggage allowance so you'll have to pay to check anything that doesn't fit in your pockets, but other than that I think you're good to go

Don't forget to thank the busdriver

I think in a balloon bus, it's a balldriver

attach the balloon to a bus

Yo boys we're going on the battle bus (sorry for my terrible joke, it just reminded me that I'm fucking old because this was popular like 6 years ago)

just yeet yourself out Felix Baumgartner style.

this would be so awesome. i'd spend the whole time trying to come up with something clever to say, right before the yeeting.

This is my favourite proposition purely because it gives us busloon. Busloon is love, busloon is life.
