Every once in a while, I sit down to read two of my favorite posts ever: [Goat Porn](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=33909) and [The horror of blimps](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=160851). **Scylla** , you’ve got the gift, and we demand that you regale us with more of your tales! It’s been way too long!

I second the motion.

I have a copy of the British ballooning magazine that asked for and recieved permission to print “The Horror of Blimps”

What’s wrong with [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=489915)? He posted it two days ago.

Oh, how did I possibly miss that? Great story. It didn’t trigger the nonstop guffawing that Goat Porn and Blimps did, but a good story nonetheless.

Thanks, **Scylla**!

I love that blimp story. Whenever I read it I hurt myself laughing even though I know whats coming. In fact it’s _worse_ that I know whats coming because I start to laugh long before I get there and I have stop and take deep breaths so I can even get to the funniest parts.
