- Go to Have You Seen a Martian Lately?
Whacky,
I was going to go to Roswell, but the government was real cranky that week. They were working on some invisible bombers. They had quartz halogen headlights on them that flashed on and off while they tested giant loudspeakers and the offensiveness of various kinds of music that they planned to use for running Noriega out of his Panamanian Palacial Headquarters.
The whole thing was so annoying that I went on to White Sands and watched them blow stuff up with Nukes. I was field testing some cool shades for Hannah's Hip Haberdashery that week, so everything turned out for the best.
Thanks for mentioning what you found. I think I'll cross Roswell off of my ''to see'' list and replace it with Area 51. I think that's somewhere in Nevada. Plus, Las Vegas and Reno would give me a good place to wrap up the Cool Shade Field Test on the In Crowd. I was thinking of Hollywood, but the Hairless Krishnas don't fully appreciate Cool Shades. And that chanting and finger cymbals is the only thing I can think of that is more irritating than the Noriega music tests.

Tanga,
I almost missed your comment. With just a smiling face, I went right past it. Thank you for coming through.

Blondie,
You are certainly right about that. I take an interest in almost anything, (I
exclude which Hollywood Whoopy has been seen with which Hollywood Whoopette) but one does have to prioritize. Fighting discrimination is far more important than whether Big Paul the woodchopper was abducted by aliens. I do, however, love to poke holes in Big Paul's story.

I agree.....there are more important things to worry about right?

Blondie,
Abductions are a strange phenomenon. The tales of them seem to be a little too imitative. They all turn out about the same way. I think a lot of substance abuse is involved, as well as a desire for publicity and the money that goes with it. Then there are those who simply want to go through the experience of spreading a tale and adding to the mystery. Anyone who has been alone in the woods, miles from anyone, on a dark night, can tell you tales about the human imagination; assuming they had the sense to recognize it as that. I met El Coyote at Shiprock, NM.
How many times would aliens, assuming they have any intelligence at all, need to abduct humans for psychological and physiological studies? How many amoeba would one have to look at to know about amoeba? I don't discount the possibility of anything, but after a certain point, giving creedence to the tales becomes absurd.

Good point.....I like your take on things.....what is your theory on abduction by aliens??? Do you think that really goes on??? I wonder if that has ever happened to me and I don't even know it......I wonder if that is why you wake up really scared after a bad dream.....maybe that has some connection to abductions....what do you think?

Mademoiselle,
Well, physical prowess, per se, may not be necessary, but if mental prowess is in charge of wrestling pyramid stones around, is that not physical prowess acheived through the conversion of mental prowess to physical prowess? Is that not, at the bottom line, a variety of physical prowess? And in Idependence Day, final scene, who walked away, butts awriggle with glorious pride? It was a bunch of alienators from space, but they were born on earth. One was even that crack, intergalactic, fighter pilot and teary-salute dredging President of the Good Old U.S. of A.
In addition, my feeling about the bug-eyed aliens is that they are Intergalactic Dumbelles. They just stand around and look goofy while everyone imagines that they are special.
Do you have any idea where I might get a copy of that cookbook?

Blondie,
You know, I was thinking about that right after I posted this entry. I think you are right about those two, but the first one who came to my mind when I considered sunglasses, behavior, and attire was Elton John. He's a very good musician, but a little suspicious. Of course, Michael Jackson came to mind, but I don't think aliens are quite that nutty. They wouldn't make it here through space. Of course, he carries outer space around with him, so you just can't be sure.

I assume the point is that the aliens have advanced far beyond needing physical prowess to achieve their goal of enslaving the earth ...
Instead, they use their superior intellect to create weapons of (true) mass destruction. At least, that was what the Martians did in "Independence Day", anyway.

Celebrities
All this talk about skinny, boney people with Big Sunglasses is making think about the "icons" in the Hollywood world......such as Nicole Ritchie and Victoria B. .(posh spice).......do you think they are aliens? They can't be real and be that thin!

Dave,
I know just what you mean. I once thought that we raised important issues ourselves, but I have come to believe that they raise themselves to us through some sort of telepathic process that involves a special, psychic, knowledge of issues that are of sufficient importance to be brought to the light of social attention at times when it is required for the benefit of humanity.

JJ, you don't half nail the issues of the day. I was having the very same
thoughts myself this morning.
