Goodyear switching from Blimps to Semi-Rigid Dirigibles

[RDoug]

"The last of Goodyear's fleet of blimps, the California-based Spirit of Innovation, was deflated for the final time today, flattening into oblivion a tradition that stretched back to the launch of the Pilgrim in 1925."

The Goodyear Blimp Is Dead

That article led me on an emotional rollercoaster.

As long as it still says Ice Cube's a Pimp we're good.

I guess they found blimping wasn't easy...

How are they supposed to fold it?

The job of a blimp-folder is dead...

Oh, the humanity.

White guys should stick to the silent movies. Such a fine prelude, but then.... Even as satire (and please confirm it was a joke), white rap is awkward. Just mho.

I got blimping in my veins
Blimping in my blood
Blimping in my swag
Blimping in my cup
...Blimp by day, blimp by night
Blimp haters make me keep my blimp game tight

Not a single blimp flying in the US now, thankfully...
