The Horror of Blimps. This is just a short ROTFL funny story about a toy blimp gone bad. Brightened my day, anyway. (Thanks, Ken.)

Mea culpa. I hit the the Post button before finishing reading the "this has been mentioned" message.

I missed it the 1st time around. I thought that was hilarious, thanks, tbc!

That is hilarious! Although, if that had been me, I doubt that I would have survived the second appearance of the Evil Sinister Menace intact.

Well done! Good post for that end of the work day - beginning of free time transition. Especially considering that we had a similar scared-out-of-a-dead-sleep incident this morning (was I laughing at the story or at my own reactions this morning?) Thanks tbc.

My DragonFly Mach IIz stays in the basement, not so much for the "attack in the middle of the night" factor as the "3 year old with pointy objects" factor.

Imagine my surprise when I returned to MeFi and saw that this thread wasn't deleted for being redundant. Well, I guess a refresher once a year isn't too bad. FWIW, the previous thread was over a year ago -- 27 Feb 03.

This should have a "NSFW" tag, as the people in your office may wonder why you're crying or why it sounds like you're trying very hard not to sneeze.

I like toys that fly, and would have one of these blimps if I could find aerosol-can-sized helium supply in the UK. Only find tanks slightly smaller than a trailer's propane tank. Thanks for the fun read, its hilarious. I find it weird this guy is sleeping with his ceiling fan running.

So, uh... where can one buy one of these things? And maybe a lock-pick set? I've got a friend with a ceiling fan...
