BSN-Texas: Rocker Ted Nugent, and members of an online conservative website, Free Republic.com will have their coffee machines going tonight. Like thousands of Americans, Ted will be up tonight watching the historic meteror shower expected to peak at 4 AM EST. Ted will have his pick up truck filled with lawn chairs at the home of his good friend, and Free Republic friend, Sirgawain in Texas.
Ted says that he doesn't have time to visit Free Republic.com much, but will let Sirgawain do all the talking for him. The website which is home to many patriotic Americans communicate with each other through the internet and alert the goings on around the nation on particular events. "Tonight, I bought out the entire supply of tin foil at our local market," said Sirgawain, "and after that Ted and I sighted in the rifles just in case the meteor shower is a diversion of something more sinister".
Sirgawain is the commander of a faction within Free Republic.com called the Tin Foil Hat Brigade which watch the skies of the world for events such as the reported chem trail sprayings and UFO abductions. Sirgawain admits that he has never seen a UFO, but knows a local resident who said that aliens had implanted a huge satellite inside his friend that communicated with aliens. "A famous South Park episode was made to emulate the incident!" reports Sirgawain.
Ted reportedly bought all the beer and coffee, alarming the small town in Texas where everyone knows when Ted comes to visit his online buddy. When asked what Ted thought about staying up all night watching the celestial event in this small Texas town, Ted said, "It's not like there is anything else going on in this town. Everyone is up already because of deer season".
Ted and Sirgawain will have their cell phones connected to their modems and laptops tonight and early Sunday morning in order to communicate with their Free Republic.com friends and hope that all their friends are online at 4A.M. when the meteor shower peaks with its most numerous strikes. Hundreds of local residents will join them Sunday morning for this once in a life-time event. It is unknown at this time how many Free Republic.com members will be joining the all night online event. "I haven't had this much fun since Ted denied he knew me," Sirgawain added, "and I hope to see you all online at 4am EST sharp!"
BTW, any astronomy buffs know the name of a pretty impressive comet that appeared sometime late 60s to early 70s? I was out ridin' with buddies one late night and spotted what looked like a dim orange smudge that stretched across a good part of the sky. Slammed on brakes and we all got out to look. First comet I ever remember seeing, and it looked huge. Since we had no idea to expect it, it both neat and unsettling (in a cool sort of way -- I realized what it was right off). Really pressed home the point to me that comets appear stationary and don't move like I always thought when I was a kid.
You gotta love his dedication to the Constitution.
ah hell... rain tonight....
Remember: "The Day of the TRIFFIDS"!

"Comet Bennett was a spectacular comet visible in the morning sky during the spring of 1970. There was little publicity for it because its appearance was fairly sudden."
And the warmup band was Rod Stewart and Faces.
