Yay Giant Soap Bubble Yay!

[livius drusus]

I love soap bubbles, perhaps more than is strictly healthy for a grown woman. For all you fellow bubble aficionados, here is the sweetest one evar (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1204195/Lets-hope-doesnt-blow-Bubbleologist-Is-worlds-largest-free-floating-bubble.html):

Isn't it brilliant? So purty. :prettycolors:

Samsam Bubbleman made it with a piece of rope, two sticks and a special bubble formula of his own creation. He thinks it's the largest freestanding soap bubble, but Guiness hasn't confirmed that yet.

At its peak size, it was 20' by 5' by 5'.

Well, at least your name isn't "Samsam Bubbleman" now that's an unhealthy love.

Whoa! Somebody who really knows soap bubbles.

I've been waiting for somebody like you to stumble along...

Can you tell me, does this aerial tram car look like a soap bubble?

I ask because this is how the architectual designer waxed prolix upon it just before it was introduced to the public...."they look like soap bubbles suspended over the city."

Of course, this is the same woman who noted that the lower tower for the aerial tram...

somehow "looks like a ballet dancer."

I think she'd been ingesting something psychotropic, actually.

I think the tram cars look like suppositories attached to fish hooks, and the lower tower looks like a huge ice axe, complete with pick and adze, stuck handle first in the ground. But that's just me...and I'm biased because I think it was a huge fukkin' waste of $57 million to move doctors up and down a hill they'd readily recommend others walk...for their health.

Sorry, for the derail... I like the big bubbles, too. I used to have a huge star-shaped wand for which I special mixed soap in a trash can lid. It also had an adjustable fabric side loop, but I never mastered that.

I would say they look like pods or capsules rather than soap bubbles. :shrug:

So what was the fabric side loop meant to do?

So what was the fabric side loop meant to do?

Create a flexible size loop to dip in the solution. I think the way we tried it was to hold the middle of the loop to the rigid plastic wand to which one end was attached. That created a space in which to pick up the solution. Once out of the solution I think we were supposed to slide the hand down to include ever more of the fabric loop as part of the circlet holding bubble solution.....I think it was an effort to allow users to adjust their wand to their solution.
