Default Odd sales call today.

I never thought I would hear this sentence.

“We made a killing with forced air masks during COVID but our blimp business went to hell.”

Me: “wait, you make blimps?”

Yes. Yes they do. And space suits. And space habitats.

Not a lot of blimps out there right now. Only place I knew making them was Lightships Group. Thought they cut way back after the 2011 crash in Germany.

Oh yeah. That’s the FrontButt 2000 model. Hard to get off the ground but once she is flying she provides shelter on her shady side.

Those two are obsolete models the Edsel 5000 on the left and the TwoBagger 65A12 on the right. Do not buy these blimps. They smell like eggs.

I feel you brother. A good blimp is hard to find.

I imagine owning a blimp is like having a classic Corvette in your garage. You tie that sucker to your house and it floats above it.

Strangers drive up and are all like “yeah man, super cool blimp. My cousin’s neighbor had a 82. It was super fast. For a blimp. Hey, I’m pretty sure that propeller isn’t original...”

Then I’m all like “**** you, the 82 is a dog.” As I climb into my blimp and split.
