Heh. Maybe I could be a super-villian who always speaks in a high-pitched voice from inhaling helium.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You could probably own one in Eastern Washington now. The question is, will you own a house in a place you'd actaully want to live?
Sigh. Yeah, true, that's the problem.

I'm tempted to buy, just because (I think) I can afford to. But that only makes sense if I'm staying another 3+ years. Right now, that seems like a very long time.

I like the Zeppelin plan and I always have.
Trivia Note: During the era of pulp magazines, there was famously one issue of Zeppelin Stories! featuring the short action packed story, "Gorilla of the Gasbags!"
