Supersized Ball of Paint (11 pics)

It all began 34 years ago with a simple baseball and the crazy idea of creating the largest ball of paint in the world.

 

Mike Carmichael from Alexandria, Indiana, his family and some friends have all contributed to create this oversized ball of paint. After 23,000 coats of paint, what began as a ball you could grab in your hand transformed into the following.

Because it just seems like one of those silly fun family traditions people start up.... or because FUCK YOU... that's why... Either one.

I'll say. Why those poor children in Africa and various other struggling third world countries could paint their shit with all that paint.

You all never had family traditions that make no sense, I see...

The answer is obviously "why not?" No harm in it. Just silly fun to see how long they can keep it going. All those kids growing up will tell stories of hanging out at grandma and grampa so-n-so's house painting THE BALL. And they'll smile. And people will be happy for a few minutes.

Kinda like you all do coming to click through a wasted 5 or 10 minutes of meaningless and silly blog posts...

i'd rather have made a giant rubber band ball than a giant paint ball. at least with a rubber band ball, you could take it out and have some fun with it.

It would be fun to set on fire and then roll it down the hill at some fat girls or cops or negroes or something.
