So, Gary, how are you guys going to deflate bubble?

Are you going to open all the doors and let it gently deflate?

Well, yeah, that's something we could do...

... if we were totally lame. Do you think we're totally lame, Harty?

Um --

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK, HARTY!

AND DON'T THINK I HAVEN'T HEARD ALL ABOUT YOUR LITTLE ATTEMPT TO DEFLATE THE BUBBLE.

/sheepish look

YOU'RE LUCKY WE EVEN LET YOU WITHIN 50 FEET OF THE BUBBLE NOW.

/nervous smile

BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION... we're going to deflate the Bubble with panache, you lickspittle.

/blank stare

With style.

Oh! Er, how's that going to work?

We commissioned Josten's to make the world's largest novelty pin and we're gonna use that to pop the Bubble like a disgusting, pus-filled pimple.

Isn't that kind of... dangerous?

I'LL SHOW YOU DANGEROUS!

THIS INTERVIEW IS OVER!

Moments later...

I LAUGH AT DANGER! BLOODPUNCH RIDES AGAIN, BITCHES!

A mighty tip of the hat to Horace E. Cow, who came up with this wonderful image.

BONUS!

Horace also came up with image, which deserved to be shared:

Farewell, Bubble! Iowa City won't be quite the same without your unique appearance looming over that part of campus.
