Hey all!
I was listening to Ramon Raquello and his orchestra (and who doesn't?) and just as they were playing "La Cumparsita", the program was interupted by a breaking news story from the Intercontinental Radio News with a bulletin on Mars.
"At twenty minutes before eight, central time, Professor Farrell of the Mount Jennings Observatory, Chicago, Illinois, reports observing several explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet Mars. The spectroscope indicates the gas to be hydrogen and moving towards the earth with enormous velocity. Professor Pierson of the Observatory at Princeton confirms Farrell's observation, and describes the phenomenon as "like a jet of blue flame shot from a gun".
That farmer guy is so annoying to listen to.
WTH?!!?!?!!?? Something is happening with the cylinder!! Carl says the top is rotating like a screw and the thing may be hollow!!!
You won't survive.
Don’t be afraid. The Martians are probably just here to vote.
They must have Mighty Taco's on Mars.
We’ll wait it out, in the meantime every one here at the hotel ballroom will keep on dancing.
What fun.
I’m listening to them by Prinston and the cylinder is opening.
Yeah.

OMG!!!!!! SOMETHING IS CRAWLING OUT OF THAT THING!!!!
They might just be too late, by the time they get here we will already have an illegal alien in the Whitehouse.
44 posts before the first Uranus joke. We’re slipping.
Senator Barack Obama has just issued this statement: “uhhhh, this is....well, uhhh, this is not the planet I’ve known. Uhhh, I haven’t even studied this planet since I was eight years old. Ummm, you see, it’s just a planet that lives somewhere above my neighborhood.”
This is getting scary. The announcer guy is describing the thing as having tentacles attached to a body that is as large as a bear and it glistens like wet leather.
I think we’re all looking for a little stress break.
It’s interesting to note the power of the media, in this case, radio, way back when.
Our Halloween nightmare, 0bama, is trying to recreate the fear with his little infommercial last night.
That gives me the chills...
“Listen up folks, this could be for real. API has just reported it to be true.....they have a tape....and are negotiating with Greta to release it to the public. ;)”
Ah crap! Berg just said they can’t release the tape because of pending litigation.
It could be Barney Frank...
