B is for Blumfeld, who was killed by falling balls.

This video is incredible. Also, could we get their leftovers? I think they had 300,000.

Watch for the frog at 1:40. And, all balls stop bouncing at some point.

On a mind bending side note, apparantly the image below is the image used to represent the balls on the endpages of the fancy shmancy edition of Blumfeld.

In the article reviewing the story, they said this at the end:

"What is most striking, for those expecting from Kafka a sense of isolation and confusion, is that ‘Blumfeld’ is not only lucid but very funny. Blumfeld’s recurring thoughts on getting a dog are funnier each time the subject comes up, and there is a delicious understated wit in lines like, 'If one looks at the whole thing with an unprejudiced eye, the balls behave modestly enough.'

"However there is isolation here too, and the balls reflect Blumfeld’s fractured relations with others, as is made clearer in the second section of the story. Here, having apparently solved the problem of the balls, he goes to his place of work, where he is saddled with a couple of assistants, who hound and trouble him, but are deemed necessary to him, and from whom he cannot escape."

I kind of think we captured everything that he talks about... and I find that really awesome, since I'm not sure if I really understood these things when I first read the story.

Also, saying the word awesome just now just made me think of our very first meeting, when I had no idea what we were getting into, but we used the word awesome a lot.

P.S. I am disappointed in both of you, since you have both promised me epic posts and failed to deliver. But this is an epic post. So watch the video and be amazed.
