From the "things that could, no, will, go horribly wrong" department
« on: July 13, 2019, 1526 UTC »
Are UFOs real? Over 600,000 have pledged to find out. A Facebook event named Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us has become an internet sensation. At the time of writing, 639,000 users have signed up to attend the event, located in the deserts of Nevada, and another 596,000 are "interested" in attending (read: cowards).

Here's the plan, as per the creator of the event: "We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry. If we Naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Let's see them aliens."

That reminds me....we haven't heard Orbital Mind Control Satellite in quite some time! It would be nice to see if they are still around! Hopefully they haven't been captured by the Plutonium Underground  :-\

It's just a Facebook version of "The World will end on...   " How many people do you think will go any farther than just hitting the "sign me up" button?

Hopefully the use of miniguns by USAF will be liberally applied.

"Serpentine, Stan, serpentine!" Alan Arkin, "The In-Law's", a vastly underrated film.

I hit the "interested" button" I admit, because I figure it's just a big joke.

There are two possible scenarios if people come out to raid Area51....

 - Aliens will probably come out to save all of the people who went to rush the base. We will have ever lasting peace in the universe and be shown space travel. Our technology will jump 1000 years in just a few.

- Aliens will disintegrate everyone and begin their global takeover early. This is when we find out all world leaders are actually aliens in disguise. But the invasion will be put down when Vladimir Putin (who killed the alien that tried to mimic him) rides in on a white flying unicorn, naked from the waste up, shooting the power of the sun at the invading aliens and burns them all to ashes.

I had an Uncle by marriage who worked for one of those three letter agencies. When Area 51 started getting attention my cousin made the mistake of asking him "What's out there?". His reply was "None of your damned business!" She then asked him if he'd ever seen a UFO? He said, "I work as consultant to the defense industry, I've seen plenty of things in the air I couldn't i.d., but dollars to donuts they were ours." She wandered off satisfied.

He and I often speculated that when she ran, her head rattled. Dumb as stump. At least she was pretty.

Slim Whitman saves us in the end, as usual.

I've had a number of suit and tie jobs over the years. When I had to go to conferences I'd wear red socks with my navy blue suits. It got back to one of my bosses. I told him, "It worked for Slim Whitman, I figured it would work for me?" (Slim always wore red socks) My boss thought it was hilarious, as he knew those things were nothing but booze soaked B.S. fests.

My penchant for blue suits and red socks wasn't appreciated by my soon to be wife on our nights on the town either. Hey, they matched my antique ruby cuff links! My guess is she didn't like those, "I wish I could be with that guy." looks, that I got from the other women in the places we went? At least that's how it struck me. I wasn't buying that, "You look like a loon!", she was trying to foist upon me.

Follow Slim in style and both he and Johnny Otis in facial hair and you'll never go wrong. Duke Ellington is a good example, too. That pencil thin mustache is hard to get right, but don't let it frustrate you, it takes time.

Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear
I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair
But I can go to movies and see it all there
Just the way that it used to be
