View Full Version : If you woke up and your house was airborne...

... what would you make of it? What would you do?

I hope I'd have the wit to say "I guess we're not in Kansas anymore." but in actuality I suspect I'd start with the screaming.

Of course this would depend on the method of airborne-ity. I deliberately leave this idea blank to appeal to your imagination and creativity.

Wait, an airborne house? Hah, I clicked on the wrong topic. And to be honest, I really don't know. :tongue:

How high up would the house be? Would the house be moving? This would significantly impact my reaction.

I would probably blame it on video games...

"Damn i played to much FFVII last night...looks like the game is making me hallucinate, so it looks like im on the Highwind!"

"So, wheres Sephiroth!

On a sidenote, I hope I'm not the only person reminded of Calvin and Hobbes in all of this. I'm sure there's a strip where he walks out the door and falls to his doom. And then later it's his bed. Or something. I forget.

I'd declare my house the floating fortress of God and I'd begin converting Heretics and HECTICS.

I'd make a following called "The Air Pirates", and we would fly from place to place and plunder helpless villages and when we were done we could make lasagne and watch Ricki Lake in the <del>livingroom</del> lower deck.

I'm sure I remember a Simpsons episode where Homer's or Bart's bed starts levitating and they enter some kind of dream world. Or maybe it was something else.

I'd use it as an excuse not to go to school and instead just go back to sleep XD;

And, it the Internet's still connected (hell, the power too o.o; ), I would go online while waiting for the house to come down 8D

Also, better a flying house than a walking bouncing kind of house type thing that wants to kill you.

EDIT: Bwahahaha hot lin king. Okay, attachment will suffice.

Urinate out the door
Good idea some random bloke will think a bird crapped on him.

I'd get a rope and a sheet and err jump using the rope and be able to climb back up to the house at will.

There is: He steps out of the door and walks to the bus stop, then falls off a cliff. Waking up in bed, he gets ready for school and this time only has to step out of the door before he plummets, and then wakes up once more in bed. :p

Also, I will give tailor-made responses just for you: The lower ionosphere, and yes, really fast.

I would immediatly begin work on an infrastructure that would allow me to strap jet engines on it and fly it around.

Glue paper eyes to a water melon and a toilet tube to it's back end, make fake flames and give it a mouth and throw it down!


Actually It wouldn't be so bad.

Sora!, if you can't see the point of the thread, don't post in it.

I would probably just go back to sleep and maybe everything would be back to normal when I woke up again. :cat:

Shoden
01-04-2006, 08:02 PM
Sleep is fun, I'd most likely do that too, there's lots of things to do if your house is flying, throw stuff, pee out the door, spit out the door, get rocket boosters, make bombs, bungee jump.

Make a beeline to HIM and rearrange my plumbing for the "scatter bombing".

I'd think, "How the smurf could this happen!?" and believe I'm in a dream.
Then I'd go at hte window and hae fun looking down.
If I haven't landed before sunset, I'd start worrying.
And I'd hope I don't get airsick all along.

Now you see why I chain myself to the bed at night.

And I have bolted the bed to the wall.

I have not yet come across additional measures for attaching my house itself to the ground.

Well, at first I would look down, and curse... alot. After a few hours of considering the situation, I would form some GENIUS idea's. "Oh if only I had a flying house..."

For example, I would fling pieces of string cheese out the window. I would also probably shoot whipped cream out the door. Another interesting idea would be to cook some ramen, and wait until it cools. Once it does, I would poor it out the window. (Broth not included.)

Also, if I had access to fireworks, I would extend the fireworks fuse, (judging by how high I am) and add a weight to the bottom, to make sure it always pointed up. then I would light the fuse, throw it out the window, and watch it fly above my house. :D

Now this is simply a master-plan. Firstly, I would need some loud speakers. (How loud depends on how high I am.) Then I would connect it to some microphone, so that what I said would come out through the speakers. Then, I would get the ramen-noodle cups, and paint those ramen-kid faces on them. (You know, egg-like head, well groomed hair, poke-a-dot eyes, etc.) I would then attach parachutes to them. After that, I would take paper-plates, and cut circles in the middle. I would then use pieces of paper-plastic, glue and duck-tape to attach the pieces of paper to the ramen cups. All of these are to ensure that the ramen cups DO NOT FALL QUICKLY. I would then adjust the volume on the speakers (Depending on how high I am, of course.) And say...

"MINIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS! ATTACK!" After that, I would begin throwing the slow-falling ramen cups out the windows. (If they all fell through 1 window, it wouldn't really give the "ZOMG WE ARE BEING INVADED BY RAMEN CUPS" feel.) :choc2:

If my house was in the Air I'd be worried because I'd probably encounter some of these (http://giraffesintheair.ytmnd.com/).

I would figure out how to navigate it, then fly it to the moon where I would live my days eating moon cheese, which as you should all know, is in basically infinite supply concidering the moon is made out of cheese :love:

Okay, due to the lack of internet I can't say what I was hoping to say, which is "I would post a thread on EoFF asking what to do."

Instead, I would get my mobile phone (assuming I'm still in the UK at the very least) and call my boss to let him know the reason I probably won't be coming into work today.

Secondly, I would go and talk to everyone in my block of flats, as I live in a building that houses at least... around twenty people, I'd say.

After that, I would call 911 and ask them for Keanu Reeves. I may need a hero, and I'm not going to put up with some second-rate hero that saved a few guys in Iraq.

After that, I would call the nearest news agencies and start a bidding war for an exclusive interview with the guy in the flying house.

While on the phone, I would also look around for some way to drive the damned thing.

Realistically, I would totally freak out.

I would totaly freak out if my house was floating in the air. But If its only, say, 20-40 feet up, I would just jump down into the river, unless we floated in some other direction. Any way, my house is chained to the docks, so I could just climb down them. But then if the chains somehow came undone and I was floating in the middle of the river, I would either use the boat tied to the side and drive us ashore or swim there.

I would assume that I was on my way up to heaven.

Or that I was being raised high up into the sky only to be dropped to my death by some malicious house-lifting cow.
