Of course, almost everyone who reads this blog actually participated in this conversation, but I think it needs to be preserved, anyway. Everyone in a Monty Python frame of mind?

<Liz> Oh, did you see there's a jumping place in W'burg now? It's right by the Peking.

<Elizabeth> jumping place?

<Liz> jumping place = indoor moonbounce, essentially.

<Jeremy> don't most places with a not low ceiling qualify as a "jumping place?"

<Jeremy> I can jump in my office

<Matt> This is especially bouncy bouncy bouncy fun fun fun fun fun.

<Elizabeth> that's just cool... a permanent moonbounce.

<Elizabeth> Kids these days are so spoiled. In my day, we got a moonbounce once a year, and we were grateful!

<Gris> BAH! We didn't even get a moonbounce in my day! We had to jump off roofs and hoped the ground was soft! And we LIKED it!

<Jeremy> Roofs? BAH! We had to dig a hole in the ground first, then jump down. in it and hope somebody had rope!

<Matt> You had rope!

<Matt> We had to go to the cliffs of Jamestown, leap off, and then let the tides pull our bodies ashore!

<Liz> OH, what we would have GIVEN for tides!

<Liz> We had to fling ourselves off the lighthouses, let the crabs eat our broken bodies, and then hope they were caught by passing indigent fishermen!
