Yup, **Scylla** ’s famous “The Horror of Blimps” post is now in the blog of [that noted economist](http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/movable_type/2004_archives/000743.html).

Needless to say, I posted a response linking to other great Scylla moments such as [Goat Porn](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=33909) and [So I Was Changing My Baby’s Diaper](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=55694).

Scylla, I think you’re about to find a wider audience.

Where is Scylla? He hasn’t posted for a while, his profile lists him as a member (as opposed to a charter member) and his post count is at 9,999. Did he quit on us?

I think the post count at 9,999 is the key part. Maybe he wants to try and find a buyer before he rolls over the odometer. Or maybe he’s waiting for something particularly salient to comment on for his 10,000[sup]th[/sup] post. I recall sometime back he had a very good trivia/scavenger hunt for one his big milestones, which was also some sort of challenge against **Fenris**.

Maybe he eloped with Charybdis?
