virgin-burner 1 #5 July 7, 2008 i think thats the whole point of the post mate, wasnt he named lawnchair jerry!? the guy that stopped all airtraiffic from LAX for a couple of hours.. sad ending to the story of this one, he shot himself after having lived a pretty average life, including selling his story to hollywood. i'm tempted to say, use the search-button. i'm too lazy..“Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

JohnRich 4 #11 July 7, 2008 QuoteI want to know where he got a 400 pound lawnchair. Quote: "Couch had to dump some of the 45 gallons of cherry Kool-Aid he carried as ballast before he was able to disappear into the distance."45 gallons of water at 8 lbs. per gallon equals 360 lbs. It sounds like he was fairly well prepared. He even had a backup system for popping balloons to descend: both a BB gun, and a dart blow gun. Cheers to him.
