aliens a-comin'

There’s a pretty entertaining discussion going on on a list I belong to. Someone posted a link to a couple of You Tube videos about a visit from extraterrestrials we should be expecting this Tuesday. Here they are, if you’re interested:

Someone replied saying that 10/14 wasn’t good for him, could we contact them and see if they could come on 10/15. The someone else chimed in saying that 10/14 was OK for him, but he’d like confirmation of the appointment.

Then, for some reason, there arose some semi-serious discussion about why they were contacting only one person (why not everyone on earth), why insist they’re coming in “love” (are they disgusing their true motives?) and why send the message in English (frankly, I think it’s more that the person channeling them speaks English, not so much that they speak English), and finally – if they don’t show up on 10/14 will “these people” admit they are wrong and that this is their own fantasy.

I’m not sure why this message started to wander into serious consideration, but the next response was from a person refusing to change his existing plans for October 14 because “too many times in the past I have moved heaven and earth only to be disappointed.” He suggested the last poster be the one to make first contact so the aliens wouldn’t “hang [him] out to dry yet another time,” and ended by suggesting that the “if the aliens aren't prepared to buy up all of our toxic mortgage securities as a gesture of their good will, then they shouldn't even show up.” I am in definite agreement with that.

Maybe in the land from whence the aliens hail banks are liquid, mortgages are made to people who can actually afford them, credit is easy to come by, and scratchings on paper don’t drive the economy. I wonder what the world will look like when we emerge from this final coda in the truckload of failures that has been the Bush presidency.

10/14 is good for me. Do you think if they're coming in "love" they might also be bearing gifts like Greencards?

For the record she's not Australian she's English -- she just lives there or rather channels there. And with a name like Blossom Fairchild she could only live in Noosa. No where else would have her.

Hmmm. did someone say she was Australian? Where's Noosa? And about that name...do we think that's her given name? If so, she should give it back.
