I think it would be cool to have some people "flying" around the Renaissance Festivals (or other Renaissance, Dark Ages, etc -era festivals) via either a harness attached to a high branch in a tree, or else a zip-line set-up. The people in these devices would be dressed in flying-humaniod-style garb (which, besides wings, is pretty open to one's own imagination) and drop "presents" on people below, such as candies or small toys.

       Do it the old fashioned way. With Catapults!

       thumbwax: yes, except we would like to be able to reuse our faerie-folk.

       Eeeewww! That's not very PC. Siege engines (in keeping with the mediaeval theme) loaded with cheerful wee folk for a practical joke. Peter Pan and Tinkerbell will emasculate you for this Nick.

       I think I like thumbwax's way better. I can imagine that the delicate, gossamer-winged faerie folk would make a very satisfying splat!

       UnaBubba: mayhaps I need to clarify. In my original idea it was the Fae Folk themselves DOING the bombing, as opposed to BEING the bombs.

       faeries with candy on a rope...sounds like the recipe for a human pinata.

       I've got the bat, who has the blindfold?
