I was reading the comics in the paper when I realized that cartoons just wouldn't be as entertaining without the talking balloons (the bubble around their words), so I asked "why don't I have one?" I tried using cardboard but it takes really long to have to write down all the words, and then you can't
reuse it (unless you're homeless). I don't know how it could be done, maybe God could help, but I really want a talking balloon.

I'm with ya, dude. I'm not very funny, so maybe that would make people think I was cool. Hmmm. Maybe not. |
|
|
have a speech bubble shaped screen and voice recognition program that types it up there |
|
|
Hey, I got edited. Did I say something bad? |
|
|
does this include thought bubbles? That would eliminate that pesky "what are you thinking about?" question. Of course it also eliminates the handy ability to answer "just about how much I love you" when you're really thinking about how much you'd rather be watching the game. |
|

I didn't edit ya, rob. As for all the other questions, I was thinking these would be <ul>real</ul> talking balloons (not cardboard or dry erase) that show up when you start talking, JUST like cartoons. |
|
|
I had a friend once who got hopped up on 'shrooms and was terribly disapointed when nothing happened... |
|
|
Until suddenly she realised that everyone around her was talking in cartoon bubbles... |
|
|
Which means, of course, that it is possible with current technology |

[admin: AfroAssault, according to halfbakery logs, you *did* delete RobGraham's annotation on Feb 01, 2001. Wouldn't be the world's first accidental deletion, either. If this ever happens with something important, send email and I'll help fix it.]— | jutta,

oops, sorry rob. I must have been a little "funny" at the time. |
|
|
no! voice recognition software,and for the pop up/appear when you speak,how about a mechanical flip up thing attatched to a crane you wear |
|
|
Another disappointment. I thought these would be actual gas-filled plastic/rubber vessels that talked, possibly in a high-pitched helium voice. |
|
|
And I was *really* disappointed, because I thought these would be proper straight-talking balloons, not the namby-pamby sort that are always leading children on adventures of self-discovery and all that shit. I want a balloon that leads me to free beer, and tells me jokes on the way. Sort it. Now. |
