Wait a minute!! This is a COOK BOOK!

[ßuddaßudd]

Phenomenon was my favorite. Thanx for the memories.

I think we'd make great pets.

I would assume any life-form capable of making the trip to Earth would be a rational being, and as such should understand our response to its arrival. We take no chances with unregulated food imports, it would be unthinkable to let a creature from another planet, a product of a completely different evolutionary path and with potentially billions of stow-away viruses just do as it pleases. ET will just have to understand.

"IT'S A COOKBOOK!! IT'S A COOKBOOK!!"

[Michael Barnes]

I think we'd make great pets.

No doubt..I for one would welcome our new overlords..

[Bikers4Bush]

Which leads me to a thought.

Why do we assume these things will be the same size as us and not 20 ft. tall?

[Johnny Gage]

It all starts with a seemingly innocent meteor:

They try to be nice, but are treated poorly by "the experts"


Then all hell breaks loose:

SITREP - UFOs

...Hal Puthoff, Powerplant Engineering. An expert on zero-point energy, a means of extracting limitless power from the quantum vacuum without violating the known laws of physics, Puthoff would understand how ET powers its craft.

I quit right here. Excuse me, UFO community? Shouldn't this man be dead or richer than Bill Gates? Why should I take any of this nonsense seriously beyond this point? And what kind of human arrogance makes you think that we could even begin to grasp a FTL technology if it did exist?

Someone said it: "Gort! Klattu Barrada Nicto!"

I'm glad you posted this. I read the story in a print copy of PM last week but the website did not have the story at that time.

Thanks.

""I think we'd make great pets.""

I agree, we can even train our own not to go on the carpets.

[Jammz]

Billy Squier, right?

[50sDad]

You know, it is clear that the aliens in that movie were Commies. Every free nation is shown being attacked. They slag a sypathetic priest. They can't be trusted to hold their fire when an obvious white flag of surrender is shown. Godless Commies. Think about it...

[Junior]

Ping.

[lchoro]

Manbeef is an essential part of a nutritious low-carb diet.

I feel that I would be very helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground crispy cream / fluffernutter factories.

[RebelBanker]

OK, who has the photo of the cat with the tinfoil hat?

[Momaw Nadon]

This plan would work if they come in small ships, however, if they come in huge motherships floating over a city, chances that this plan would go into effect would be nill.

Do you think martial law would be declared?
