Woodstock maybe dead but Alienstock is still on. Less than one month away.

[ptsal]

Looks like a wonderful idea to create a footprint on the federal database.      /bad_idea_sarc

[no-to-illegals]

Wonder how many flying UFOs will show up to rescue their space aliens ?? Buzz Lightyear and beyond !!!

[Parley Baer]

I have been to Rachel, Nevada. When I was there we ate at the Alien Inn.

Dang Woody been BoPeeped in a skunk

[McGruff]

I tried to drive there one time from Reno. Gave up after hours of driving and nowhere near it yet. Didn't look that far on the map.

I imagine AAA will be busy with broken down VB Buses and such.

Well, a local resident named Joerg Arnu wants people to stay away.

Joerg Arnu??
WTH kind of unAmerican name is THAT?

Obviously an extraterrestrial infiltrator!

We MUST go, and find out what this mugwump is trying to hide!

[Night Hides Not]

I have been to Rachel, Nevada. When I was there we ate at the Alien Inn.

I've been there twice. Their chili is out of this world.

...sorry

[a fool in paradise]

Imagine if they were concerned about a million illegal aliens invading our border. Hmmm?

[OregonRancher]

Little A’Le’Inn, Rachel - on Hyw 375. Almost as bad as Highway 50. \

[Rio]

Joerg Arnu?

As you enter the Extraterrestrial Highway driving north from Las Vegas, the following sign offers a warning:

They ain't lying! lol

[righttackle44]

Going to be interesting. Especially since there are those who believe that a man-eating creature has escaped from Area 51 labs and wanders the area. Dinner is comin' on!

[BenLurkin]

The locals should jack up the prices on everything. Especially water.

[EasySt]

[cgbg]

The UFOs will have to fly “up”. ;-)

That’s not the aliens they should be worried about.

[McGruff]

I wonder if FEMA is on standby for when these fools run out of water and start dying. Maybe all that water left on a Peurto Rican runway can still be used.

[McGruff]

Fearing they could be overwhelmed with visitors, officials in the remote Nevada county that’s home to the Area 51 military base have drafted an emergency declaration and a plan to team resources with neighboring counties and the state ahead of events next month tied to the “Storm Area 51” internet drive.

The elected board governing the county with about 5,200 residents conditionally approved two events Monday for tiny desert towns near the once top-secret U.S. Air Force test area known in popular lore as a site for government studies of outer space aliens.

“Oh, we’re taking this seriously,” Lincoln County Commission Chairman Varlin Higbee told the Las Vegas Review-Journal . “With the possibility of 35,000 to 40,000 people showing up, yeah, this is serious.”

The Nevada Test Site isn’t fenced (that would be like fencing Rhode Island... not a bad idea that), so back in the day when they were still doing nuke tests (underground), protestors would get in and try to hike to the tunnel portal. Security would know where they were all the time, and a bunch would get dehydrated and have to be rescued. Some actually made it to the tunnels, but the workers there who made seriously big bucks getting ready for the tests were less than sympathetic. One guy who chained himself to a bulldozer had the misfortune to have his shoes catch fire when the welders were cutting him loose.
