I once thought that worrying about what we should broadcast to extraterrestrials made as much sense as fretting over the small talk I’d venture with King Carl XVI Gustaf if I won the Nobel Prize. I reckoned there was no need to dwell on the problem, as it was both hypothetical and irrelevant.

With all that new sat-radio, I'm just worried that the first thing the aliens may hear is Howard Stern.
Do you think they need to know about the robo spanker?

I'd tell them they were welcome to beam up all our liberals and take them home to repopulate their zoos. I'd gift them our most prized libs in Bagdad Jim McDermitt's district and even throw in the statue of Lenin.

I've been promised some wild teal for this weekend. If it shows up I'll be making one Saturday morning for wild teal and oyster gumbo, one of my all-time favorites.

I was a big Unicron fan, but Megatron was my hero (I know, I'm perverse--I always root for the villains). When he became Galvatron, he was cool, but nowhere near as great as the original.

I feel the same. Megatron was my favorite toy. A robot that turns into a P38, it doesn't get any better. Galvatron was kinda gay, and it didn't make sense that as a toy he was as big as metroplex and trypticon.

Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light coming down from the sky
I don't know who or why
Must be those strangers that come every night
Those saucer shaped lights put people uptight
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home all right
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride
Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite wierd
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
Over my window, they'd written my name
Said, So long, we'll see you again
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride
