Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s off-air comments that Russian Presidents are given a secret file about extraterrestrials living among us created much media interest. Most news reports claimed that Medvedev was simply joking. His apparent reference to the Men In Black movie as a source of information on a super secret agency that monitors extraterrestrials on Earth was commonly cited as key evidence that he was in fact joking. The reasoning is that no political leader would refer reporters to a comedy to clarify national policy. It has now emerged that Medvedev was not referring to the Men in Black comedy after all, but to a recent Russian television documentary titled “Men in Black” that reveals many details about an extensive cover up of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth.
However, a more accurate translation of what Medvedev actually said about the Men in Black phenomenon was: “You can receive more detailed information having watched the documentary film of the same name.” So Medvedev was referring to a Russian “documentary film” titled Men in Black, not the Hollywood blockbuster by the same name...
Russian Men In Black (MIB) documentary, a number of prominent UFO cases in Russia and the USA are discussed. The Roswell UFO crash is covered, along with a number of extraterrestrial abduction cases, and UFOs disabling nuclear weapons facilities. The documentary examines testimony that extraterrestrial bases have been established on Earth, and that some are in restricted US military areas with the full knowledge of the Pentagon. The documentary even goes on to seriously discuss President Eisenhower’s alleged meeting with extraterrestrials, where agreements were reached with some of the visitors giving them permission to take some of the Earth’s resources in exchange for advanced technology...

I saw a few snow flakes here early this morning. It only got to the min 50’s today. I had my heavy coat at the cleaners because I thought I wouldn’t need it again this year. I had to wear my rain coat.
If a sequel is following something.
If a prequel is before something.
Then what is a quel?
I didn’t know I spoke french.
Due to the influence of the Normans upon the Saxons, we all speak French without knowing it! Laissez les bons temps roulez!
Sorry about Mr. Quackers - maybe you can shoot some turtles when it's warm and they all come to sit on the rocks and logs. It's interesting that the pea-fowl came to comfort him or provide moral support. Birds sticking together!
The costumes went very well. I wore a black velvet dress with a deep red pelisse in what looked a bit like heavy silk, but is 100% synthetic ;-). I think it was originally a blouse from the 1980s. With one set of accessories, it looked medieval, but with others, it could be "Steampunk Organized Crime Boss," "Malaysian Pirate," or "Babylon5 Telepath"; the last would require changing the red tunic for something in black, though. Sally's look was "ragamuffin servant," until she put on her sweatshirt and just looked dumpy. But she got plenty to eat, at least.
There was a roadblock on Mill Grove near the Hemby Bridge Fire Department, three state police checking ID. This happened a couple years ago near Stallings Methodist, when we were coming home after church. I never did find out why. Not drunk-driving control, because the first time was a Thursday evening, and on both occasions it was about 8:00 p.m., not when you'd get people coming out of bars.
My eyeballs do spirals every time I lie down and turn over. Risidual effects of the two falls I took in as many years.
I don’t seem to need OTC or prescription drugs to feel the spirals and the gray lint! LOL!
And in Saudi Arabia, no one pays attention to traffic lights, since said lights are “strictly for Westerners, because they don’t know how to drive.”
Yah. Like that!
Yepper. A kitteh that comes with its own toy box is, indeed, a good thing to send!
Good morning, y'all! Need hot coffee before venturing out on this drizzly morning to feed the horse. Today, I'm going to quit procrastinating and do all the necessary stuff *before* I start chores.
What a face, huh? :)
I took the six available Offspring to Mass. Beau Handsome has just hit the shower ... he'll be fully groomed in time for the 4:30 service, maybe. I told him to move the car before I notice him again.
He was in bed at 9:00 last night, like the rest of us, but not up this morning, so maybe he's catastrophically ill with la gripa. There's no such thing as a small illness for Bill.
Bothersome when you don’t know why the roadblocks. When the meth lab still existed across the street, I still remember the helicopters doing the search-grid thing. I had four big dogs and a shotgun at the time, so I’d turn on the news, sit and wait.
Interesting about the desserts: since I’ve been making my own and just having one or two portions and bringing the rest to Earthwoman for her, her family and friends, I like the stuff I make better with the exception of the blueberry pie. Whoever made that really knew what he/she was doing. The berries were extraordinarily good, and the crust and topping were as close to perfect as it gets.
Gotta feed the horse. SYL
I haven’t gotten that far with the books. I really do like them because of the easy read that they are. Nothing complicated, most everything is logical.
Truly enjoyable.
I’ve never put in the effort to become successful at making pie crust.
And even the bad people usually aren’t all that bad; most are just misunderstood.
Which is why I always buy refrigerated pie dough! It’s already rolled and just about fool-proof. And no one has to know! LOL!
She makes them all seem human and therefore, subject to erring. Nothing deep, twisted and/or profound in the culprits, so the solutions don’t require anything violent or superhuman.
Pie crust is a minion of Satan. Every time I make it, following the recipe to the 1/10th of a gram (I have a triple-beam balance for my soap making), it comes out different. Sometimes perfect, sometimes... not...
The “not” is usually on some big holiday, like Christmas.
At least my soap always comes out the same. We haven’t bought soap since 1999.
The early Crisco pie crust recipe was the best I’ve ever made. However, my mother gave me the pocket edition of Peg Bracken’s “I Hate to Cook Book” and I use her method because it’s a no-brainer. One half as much shortening as flour, one half as much water as shortening, a pinch of salt in there somewhere. It never turns out tough no matter how much flour you add or how much you handle it, and I even added sugar once and it turned out like a big cookie to stick your cream filling in. It’s not flaky, but I go for fast over flaky. The filling’s the thing Wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the King or something.
