Thank you so very much for such a great read. I haven't laughed so hard in ages! And I laugh at everything!

Edited to add: Apparently that thread traveled all around the internet and back a few times. As of June 2003, the thread had over 150,000 views and was reprinted in many places. Pretty impressive, and like you said, well-deserved.

Yes, I remember reading it a few years ago...I even bookmarked it on my old PC and would re-read it whenever I needed a pick-me-up! It's still one of the funniest things I've ever read, so thanks for the link! Now it's bookmarked again... :snap: :snap:

So who is going to buy the blimp and test it out for all of us?

I've been reading the pompous ass that is Scylla for years. Can't stand the man. Only one Straight Dope poster is more overrated than him, but they're not allowed to talk about Wally over there any more.

By which I mean to say, enjoy it for the humor (though I find it difficult to find anything the man writes as funny) but don't take it as actually having happened. All of his stories are presented as true, but every month or so something equally fantastic happened to him.

Alex, I'm normally no fan of Scylla either. He annoys me to no end. Still, fabricated or not, I did get a hell of a laugh out of this story. His other posts, not so much. :)

True or not, it is as great story and a fun read. But, I kept hearing David Sedaris reading it (but the wife and kid part was a bit off).

The "Keith Harring" blimp is docked at the Long Beach Airport. I see it all the time flying off on one of it's missions. It really moves!

Alex	11-08-2005 08:15 PM

Well, if it is Sedaris-like then that may be why I don't consider it all that funny (I'm not a big fan of Sedaris's writing, though like him quite a bit in spoken form). But I think it is just because I don't like the man trying to be funny.
