[There's a very, VERY long silence, and finally West says:]

Balloons.

[Another silence, then he clicks his tongue disgustedly.]

Of all the absurdities.

[CLICK.]

[everylittlegirl]

You made a wicked giraffe.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

If one could call it that.

[everylittlegirl]

Lighten up, Captain. It was cute.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

I don't know, Major.

It rather suited you.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Red was never my colour.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

At least it was entertaining. You did more than spend your time avoiding work.

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

You were kind of creepy.

...no offense.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

None taken.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

Best balloonist I've ever seen.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Then you must not have seen very many.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

[laughs.] Not really, but I can still try and compliment you, right?

[yourunichase]

There are worse fucking things to be.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I never said there weren't. I still would prefer not to be a balloon-making [OUT OF WORK ACTOR-- wait, not going to reveal that dark secret.] lunatic.

[deusexmechanic.livejournal.com]

I think you're just getting comments from all the people who have never seen animals before in their lives, because you stank.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I'm fully aware that balloon art isn't one of my specialities.

[deusexmechanic.livejournal.com]

Seriously, I remember when I was trying to impress that girl outside Texas by getting her one of your stupid balloon cats?

I don't care what you called it then, that was definitely a rhombus.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

I think I punched you. Were you one of the people I punched?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I was.

And then you tried to go at me with a baseball bat.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

Ah.

I had a very good reason for doing that, you know.

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Hey, speaking as a military man, how familiar are you with the fourteen ways of killing someone with a balloon?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I can think of... two, perhaps? Rather straightforward: strangulation or suffocation.

[gimmethemap]

Was that really the worst of it, to you?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

No.

Getting derailed during my great escape to Hollywood was.

[failedcreator.livejournal.com]

Still, they were most interesting balloons.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Did you enjoy your, ah, cat?
