Rideable Cloud Concept: Pee From Heaven

You ever wanted to ride a cloud? Whenever I'm flying through them I always think to myself, "WHAAAAAA, HOLY SHIT HOW AM I DOING THIS?!?!" then I wake up and it all makes sense. But seriously, if I can be real with you for a second: I'm the world's greatest lover and I have the blue ribbon to prove it. "That's purple and says PARTICIPANT." Haters gonna hate. Whenever I'm flying IN A PLANE I'm drunk and I always look out the window and imagine the clouds are a giant magical city. "I get it -- like Atlantis!" No, obviously you don't get it BECAUSE ATLANTIS IS UNDERWATER, DUMMY. I swear, some of you never cease to amaze me in the most depressing ways.

Passing Cloud is basically just like a big zeppelin, except lumpier. It's got a rigid stainless steel structure supporting an array of spherical nylon balloons that intersect to form a solid, if topologically diverse, platform suitable for passengers. There's no "inside" of Passing Cloud; you just climb up some stairs on top of the balloons and chill there, watching the clouds and ground go by.


If you have a specific destination in mind, though, Passing Cloud might not be the best way to go, since it doesn't go from Point A to Point B. More like, it goes from Point A to wherever the wind happens to be blowing, since the wind is its only source of power

Whoa whoa whoa -- the wind is the only source of power?! That's a terrible idea. Oh look, you're going out over the ocean -- FOREVER. Say hi to Atlantis for me, dipshit!

Thanks to Mike, who's always wanted to pee of the edge of a cloud just like angels do.

    This is a video of four dudes putting on a 2:00 synchronized indoor skydiving show. It's...a treat for the eyes. If you're into synchronized swimming but are pissed the Olympics aren't on TV, this is definitely for you. If you're into videos where people hurt themselves, it'... / Continue →

    I didn't know you could drive in heaven! Driving by mind. It's a scary thought(!!!1) because most people are just texting anyways and I'm not sure how a car's gonna interpret that kind of input. You (texting): 'BOOTY CALL!' Car: drive on sidewalk. Freie Universität Berl... / Continue →
