Hapablap: To slip the surly bonds of earth, and touch the face of God.
To fly -- the dream of man and flightless bird alike. And
now, hold on tight, as we blast through the thrilling
highlights of aviation history! Say, did somebody say "box
kites"?
["Up, Up and Away" starts]
Bart: No!
[everyone groans as kids with box kites walk out]
Martin: The common box kite was originally used as a means of drying
wet string.
