CHASING UFOS ^
Posted on 06/29/2012 5:54:09 AM PDT by Lucky9teen
Perhaps more marketing, than Science, it still may be your one shot to make "contact". Between 8 p.m. EDT Friday (June 29) and 3 a.m. EDT Saturday (June 30) Tweets tagged with the hashtag #ChasingUFOs will be combined into a single message and beamed in the direction of the so called "Wow" signal. It's timed to coincide with a new National Geographic series, "Chasing UFOs."
They'll be transmitted on Aug. 15th. Heck, it isn't like it costs anything. I think I'l go with, Vote Romney. Because, well you never know. And there's a lot at stake in 2012!
If there's something you'd like to say to aliens, now's your chance. The Wow! signal, a mysterious radio transmission detected in 1977 that may or may not have come from extraterrestrials, is finally getting a response from humanity. Anyone can contribute his or her two cents or 140 characters, to be exact to the cosmic reply via Twitter.
All tweets composed between 8 p.m. EDT Friday (June 29) and 3 a.m. EDT Saturday (June 30) tagged with the hashtag #ChasingUFOs will be rolled into a single message, according to the National Geographic Channel, which is timing the Twitter event to coincide with the premiere of the channel's new series, "Chasing UFOs."
Then on Aug. 15, exactly 35 years after the Wow! signal was detected, humanity's crowd sourced message will be beamed into space in the direction from which the perplexing signal originated.

Little Johnny’s Home
A teacher goes around her class asking each of the kids what do they need at home.
1st kid says “A computer”. Teacher replies “That’d be very useful.”
2nd kid says “a new lawn mower” and gets a similar response.
Little Johnny pops up and says “At my house we don’t need nuthin.”
The teacher asks him to think again carefully as everybody needs something.
Little Johnny replies, “Nope I’m sure! When my sister started dating a Muslim convenience store clerk, I remember
Dad saying, “Well, that’s the last frigging thing we need.”

Ten best caddy responses......
Number :10
Golfer: “I think I’m going to drown myself in the lake.”
Caddy: “Think you can keep your head down that long?”
Number : 9
Golfer: “I’d move heaven and earth to break 100 on this course.”
Caddy: “Try heaven, you’ve already moved most of the earth.”
Number : 8
Golfer: “Do you think my game is improving?”
Caddy: “Yes . . . . You miss the ball much closer now.”
Number : 7
Golfer: “Do you think I can get there with a 5 iron?”
Caddy: “Eventually.”
Number : 6
Golfer: “You’ve got to be the worst caddy in the world.”
Caddy: “I don’t think so . . . .That would be too much of a coincidence.”
Number : 5
Golfer: “Please stop checking your watch all the time. It’s too much of a distraction.”
Caddy: “It’s not a watch - it’s a compass.”
Number : 4
Golfer: “How do you like my game?”
Caddy: “It’s very good - but personally, I prefer golf.”
Number : 3
Golfer: “Do you think it’s a sin to play on Sunday?
Caddy: “The way you play, it’s a sin on any day.”
Number : 2
Golfer: “This is the worst course I’ve ever played on.”
Caddy: “This isn’t the golf course . . . . We left that an hour ago.”
And the Number : 1 . . . . Best Caddy Comment:
Golfer: “That can’t be my ball, it’s too old.”
Caddy: “It’s been a long time since we teed off, sir.”
Bonus . . . . .
An old favorite About the Golfer who has been slicing off the tee at every hole
He finally gives up and asks his long suffering caddy.
Golfer: “Can you see any obvious problems ??”
Caddy: “There’s a piece of sh!t on the end of your club.”
Golfer: He picks up his club up and cleans the club face . . . . .
Caddy: “No sir, its at the other end.”

Honest... I ran out of gas! I--I had a flat tire! I didn't have enough money for cab fare! My tux didn't come back from the cleaners! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood!
IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!!!

To: Lucky9teen
A man named Ralph has been lost in the desert for days and days. Hot and tired, he pushes on, always seeing a mirage, only to be saddened that when he reaches it, alas, it is indeed just a mirage.
His strength is fading. He is out of food and water. The sun is unbearable. But yet, there it is! The most lovely green abundant oasis he’s ever seen. He crawls now. Near death. On to the “oasis”. But whe he arrives, once more he finds it is the wickedness of his mind and the desert.
With what strength he has left, he rolls to his back and looks to Heaven. With nearly his last breath, he looks up and shouts - “Why me, Lord?!!”
From up on high, a great booming bass voice responds - “Because Ralph, there is something about you that just pisses me off!”
(And that, my FRiends, is how I felt after yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling ! )
