Those Pesky SPS Members...

For Dr. Palma's 43rd birthday, in January 1995, we filled his entire office- That's floor to ceiling -with balloons. We used over 4000 of them ! That's "a lot of hot air", as Dr. Palma says. Little did he know that we used the air jets in the labs. The only evidence of our crime was all the band-aids we wore for the next two weeks. Tying 4000 ballons by hand gives ya some really nasty blisters.


Well, we weren't sure if we could top the balloon caper, but in the Spring of 1995 we just might have. You decide !

That's right ! You're eyes don't deceive you. This time we filled Dr. Palma's car with over 5 Hefty trash bags of "environmentally safe" ( green colored )styrofoam peanuts.

Well in a way he asked for it. See Dr. Palma doesn't lock the door to his car..... or at least he didn't before we got ahold of him.

In keeping with tradition, we wanted to do something VERY SPECIAL for Dr. Palma's 44th birthday (after all, it's divisible by 11). Evidence of the deed is given below.


 
 

We wrapped every object in his office, down to the disks for his computer, with birthday wrapping paper!!!! The ceiling tiles remain wrapped to this day.

Not wanting Dr. Donnelly to feel left out, we helped him celebrate his 35th birthday by turning his office into a beach from his native California (with 700 pounds of sand). See if we made him feel at home.
