To minimize noise, the aft-mounted propellers will be electric, powered by a renewable source such as hydrogen fuel cells.

I'm sure it would be all safety checked and whatnot, but I doubt that dirigibles and hydrogen fuel cells will be a reassuring combo in the minds of potential investors.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That baby is just stunningly beautiful. Really.

The Mariah Carey story is something like, she appeared on TRL wheeling a popsicle cart. She handed out popsicles to the audience and did a striptease. I think she also seemed really weird and out of it. She was also leaving weird phone messages on her website and soon checked herself into the hospital for exhaustion, so it's considered one of those infamous celebrity-breakdown-caught-on-tv moments.

Speaking of, ita, did you see Chappelle on Inside the Actors' Studio?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cuteness!

Stealth pineapple in my lunch.

I have been assiduously overturning and gently whacking my lemon squares in the work caf to remove the powdered sugar. Now they're selling unsugared ones. Rock.

did you see Chappelle on Inside the Actors' Studio?

No. I was informally avoiding all his appearances in case they made me feel uncomfortable. But a coworker assures me it's fine.

That's when Perkins is in town.

Oooookay. But why would I prevent anyone from getting cupcakes? That talk is of the crazy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

No ice cream for yoooooooooooou!

Because of this. Also what Aimee said.

Naw, the ice cream comment is because we have already grievously over-indulged this week and shouldn't continue in that vein without a few days respite.

I don't think there's anything ooky about the appearance. At least, nothing ooky on Chappelle's side. He seems pretty grounded, but I think opinions vary on that one. He's pretty insistent that for Hollywood to make people like him and Mariah and Martin Lawrence have nervous breakdowns, there's something wrong with it.

I don't know. He didn't show any remorse about abruptly pulling the show, which I think probably fucked over Neal Brennan and Comedy Central but good. But perhaps he does that in private.
