Peterman's Choice*
The Big Questions

Just get your courage up, look the alien squarely in the eye -- it will be easy to do since it will be in the middle of his forehead -- and bluntly ask:

Are you better off today than you were four years ago?

If the alien is a female and you meet up with her in a bar, just cozy up to her real close, shove the tip of your hat back a little real cool like and ask:

Do you come here often?

The aliens already are among us.

A few of them ran for president this year.

If you meet up with an alien and just can't help yourself and fall in love well, then, just go ahead and promise 'em the moon and see how far that gets you.

Uh-oh, some big, bright, shiny round thing with blinking lights just landed in my back yard and this odd looking dude just rushed inside my house and seized control of my computer and demanded to know:

"What is a Peterman's Eye? Does it look anything like mine?"

Right, the old: "A honorable oak lamp."
Oh, wait, that would be: Oklahoma anal probe. I'm getting my days mixed together.

Whew! I protected all of you of the Village by telling this odd looking dude that all of you are on summer vacation and that I am the only one remaining in the Village and that he wouldn't want to take me along with him on his space ship because I am the Village Idiot. I think I convinced him.

Personally I'm comfortable with the concept that earthlings may be alone in the universe. Not sure I want little green men to move in next door and lower the property values.....

Petri dish Earth

Our curiosity has us looking up at the stars and wondering is there life out there and what is it like. We worry and fret about what people are doing in the nearest faraway place. Crazy fanantics who want to destroy all we hokd dear. Now after last night's tragedy we will wonder who is that strange person in the theatre sitting at the end of the row. We spend a lot of our valuable living time living outside of ourselves because there are clear and present dangers mixed with remote possibilities and hiding within ourselves our biggest fears. Being whisked away to Planet X or to a nursing home where one must come to grips that this is the final destination. As the film Cocoon explored our greatest quest is to continue to be and to be with style. Here There and Everywhere; Savoir Faire.

LOTLOT-quick witt this am, must have had your wheeties. I laughed and enjoyed them all!! Logically speaking, we cannot be alone. The Universe is so vast and the chemical makeup of the 'empty space' is ripe for life. "One vast nothing materially, all things potentially".

I am heading to work this Am, lots of Aliens will be there, strange folk they are, skalking about dressed in work out clothes. ekk!!

None of our "EyE in the Sky" machines has seen a thing. I think we need to launch a "Nose in the Sky",and simply follow the cooking smells to a delicious planet. I wonder if our manners will suffice.....

LOTLOT thank you SO much for saving us this morning...  I feel much better knowing you are on top of things.

Personally I don't have a question for alien life...  That being said, I hope they do exist because maybe then I would fit it somewhere.

There are already so many differences to embrace among us humans... what's another species of being?

Truly Aliens..UFO are among us...there is just so many things that we do not know...like "I" am a teacher, Instructor, prophet, and working on advanced degrees...honorariums,....**************Bebe, not the Bee Nees or a pussycat... was cruel to say that I was  "our Lady of the crazies.." zanny..that is ok, but her remarks..our only made to suade others to know that I am crazy..it is political...because I am voting Obama/Bidin...she is bullish...and alien to me....made such a great effort to lead on that I am crazy and I read cheers among other people..on the "eye,"...so yes, there are aliens amongst us... and UFO everywhere........even with a small group like the "eye" people become jealous and bully like...I read my comments and I do generalize..I would like education to improve...especially public...education which is one of the backbones of the middle class...gripping foundations...but failure..to allocate monies to the student..went amiss ...each child is allocated $7000.00 per year...and after attending board meetings in the 21st century the students still do not have access to hand writing skills and computers....I will admit... I am more a student advocate...I have sat in classrooms, taught in classrooms, and designed educational program objectives for all age groups...I am smart! I enjoyreading posts and learning, and I guess take a few pounches...but if I am going to learn to be in social media writing class..I need to toughin and smartin up! Aliens are amongst us!!!! I and my friends saw 2 occasions Tangerine lights and in June.one being followed by a regular plane...dunno...what if...???..flying unidentified...in June....maybe drones..which are managed in the hummer veichles...**By the way, also...there is nothing wrong with ernestly entreat opinions of good or abstruse intention...or open ideas for further exploration...like UFO's..or Donald Trump...at least one thing is for sure do not ask for money or an airline ticket outloud.on the "eye,"..shameful....!!.Now we know that herbicides cause amphibians to mutate ...growth problems.... or defects...can we concur this to be a coincidence for the rise in child birth defects...downwind from golf courses...the Apollo nuclear waste dump site...shows a correlation to increased numbers of individuals to contract cancer...the woman who worked with the Manhattan project in her garage...had a thick layer of skin cancer exposure to the radioactive...material..that she hand poured into tubes.. to help win the war...so they say, an got an interview..with her friend...awarded $150,000.00 after her death...If UFO's were to land...and spread nuclear/radioactive material...would be our demise...Off in my multi-colored polka-dot swimmer..taking the day to swim and play....outdoors by fishing boat...on the lake yonder....with fishing rods in hand, using Earth worms for bait...wishin and fishin..for a big Trout..I posted on the community page...the motorcycle classic Indian...enjoy...

The rest of this message is written in a font only Aliens could read.

As we grew up,all the Aliens said "TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER".....that might be a Head Scratcher today.....so, might just take them to the farm and let Mr "P" show them how to dress......

Lotlot you are on a roll!! Enjoyed your enthusiasm!
I for one believe we humans do not "see" all. There are parallel worlds and overlapping space warps. I believe there are beings who live, rather exist and we see only what they want us to. Most of which is unexplainable in our intelligence.
Whether it is just signs or is a real other life and lifeforms I do believe it is real.

Aurora, Co.

Thanks, LotLot for the humor on this dismal day of some "alien" crazy man shooting people in a theater in Aurora, Colorado.

Message to aliens, liberals, and other wierdos:  Illegitimi non carborundum

Well,that rules out the Pillbury Dough Boy.....

If they had the technology to travel the universe and find us...I think they were probably smart enough to quietly go home after seeing how inept we can be.  Seriously who hasn't pulled up at a big party seen people behaving badly on the front lawn and instead of getting out, just kept driving?

There was, at one time , on my all-time favorite television show: The Twilight Zone, an episode where two people, each from another planet, we're stranded on what turned out to be earth. The people? Adam and Eve.

I thought all these alien questions were answered in "Mork and Mindy" (Mork from Ork), "My Favorite Martian" and by Alf. If those did not tell enough about aliens among us, there were the nutty folks on "Third Rock" and many episodes of "The Twilight Zone" and "The X Files." Topic covered.

One of the Best things about Aliens was Sigourney Weaver's Legs ....... Came to be known in the Studio as, "Ripley's Belive It or Not " .......

I have an open mind regarding life on other planets. But I have serious doubts that there are aliens from other planets amongst us.  Seriously?  But I really did enjoy MIB, the original. Particularly Vince D'Onofrio as "the bug".   

Gosh! You guys are on a roll this morning!  Lotlot...are you breathing pure air?  If so, breathe deeply; if not, breathe deeply!

As for me, yes there are here and have been for a long time.  The evidence is iverwhelming to me.  Witness the multiple depictions of creatures in "spacesuits" in primitive cultures (ie, Mayan, Egyptian, even Neanderthal), the Nasca Plain in Peru, and multiple other similiar sites.  Why should we be frightened of what's already here (unless they came as snakes...I'm phobic)?
 

I do believe in the Big Bang although I do believe the human mind cannot encompass the entirety of the theorem.  To do so would be to encompass eternity (the universe expands continually at the speed of light) and our tiny minds simply are incapable of doing so (whether you are a Freudian or a Junian or a Kervorkian it is the same). 
 
Even to so-called "discovery" of the so-called "God particle" does not rate with me.  They cannot get it to go through the Big Bang...cause if they do we can all kiss our hinnies bye-bye!

"While me may not be alone in the universe, each of us in our own way is totally alone." Heard on the X-Files years ago, immediately memorized, posted on fridge, and never forgotten....I hate it when the television speaks to me.

One of the best Twilight Zones: To Serve Man....cookbook. So then, is Earth just one big pig farm?

epreet, you were thinking EXACTLY what I was when JP mentioned coking shows!

Er, make that COOKING shows!

Comment from Michael (young man who had been raised by Martians in Heinlein's Stranger In A Strange Land) when when he encounters monkeys at the zoo hitting each other while people looking on were laughing: "Humans are the only creatures in the universe who laugh at another being's pain." Think about it.

What Stoney said.

Finale of Battlestar Galactica: after searching endlessly for a planet to settle in, find one that's suitable, inhabited only primitive humanoids seen through binoculars - a group of Neanderthals....hmmmm, are et's the genetic source of the missing link between Neanderthal and Cro Magnon?

L. Ron Hubbard poses the thought that Earth was once a prison planet for the universe's most vile .... politicians all, I am sure.

I hear voices thru the Tequila Type...

Folks, meet Pooka!  She's the first to be uploaded by me as my photo ID (I'll save me for MUUUCH later, after you've been charmed by the doggies) as she is the one I am slowly losing to osteosarcoma of the spine.  She's comfortable, but happy, now and I won't do chemo (that would be for me, not her---she wouldn't understand and would suffer horribly), so when I cannot keep her at a good level of life, I'll (tearfully) help her over the Rainbow Bridge.
 
RoadYacht...you ARE a trip!

"They're here."  

No no!  Pooka's not an alien!  She's a West Highland Terier!

I'm REALLY being dysgraphic today!  Sorry....that's TERRIER!

INDIAN MOTORCYCLE ************************************************************* ********..FOUNDED IN 1901, FIRST MOTORCYCLE ....POSTED A PICTURE ON THE COMMUNITY PAGE...LOCATION:  DOWNTOWN BUTLER,PENNSYLVANIA...THERE IS A INDIAN MOTORCYCLE WEBSITE TOO...

Upon this tiny planet, our island home, there may or may not be aliens, but in the vast universe I would expect there to be at least one other inteligent life form.  The creator in which I believe is far too big for little me to understand.

I am ducking out early tonite, not that I don't love you all, but that I have somewhat to do before shutting down for the weekend ...
 
I Wish You All a Fabulous Weekend !!!  Good Weather, Family, Good Friends, Good Food, Good Wine, Good Fun, and Be Safe !!!  Enjoy it All With Verve !!! Relax and let Mondayh take care of herself .......
 
 
To The Tribe:    GOOD  SHABBOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I Wish You All a Sabbath of Peace, Joy, and Rest .......
 
May We Find Our Way to Life Richer in Love and Nobler in Deed ...
A Life in Which the Fruits of Our Science and the Products of Our Creative
Minds May Be Used in Accordance With Your Will, Heavenly Father .......
To Build and to Plant,  To Clothe and to Feed ... To Comfort and to Heal .......
May Your Will O'Lord, Be Done Forever .......
 
May Our Rest Be Pleasing Unto Him Who Brought Us Here .......
 
Blessings Upon You All,
 
 
IVAN

Blessing back to you IVAN my friend! Great Shabbos!!! Be yours and your tribe.

Ginger...Fox's Scitech channel says they have been making primordal soup by replicating the big bang in the colliders in NY & Europe!!!
It's a perfect liquid. Also see leopard kill pics ' story. And find out how to watch an asteroid go by on Sunday the 22nd!!
My dog has a lump under his chin...will see vet soon.

Epreet. Hello! I feel like what you said about each of us are alone is true.
But I know there is more too! Look inside yourself!! It's in there!

Ethel Rose, my dad had an Indian motorcycle!! His first.
His last was a snazzy red BMW!!! Smooth!!

And now,from my hazy, spacey memory banks of my freshman year at O U.......

'be good' and whatever you do * DON'T PANIC *

Carolbabcock---they made primordial soup some time ago here in the US.  All those amino acids just floating around....you just KNOW we can't be the ONLY place in this HUGE universe that has life. (I can't say we are intelligent because I haven't the foggiest what I would be comparing us with!)  But it is interesting to know they are doing it in a new manner...that's also how the came up with the "God particle" I mentioned earlier---with supercolliders in Europe.  They are far ahead of us in so many ways....
 
I hope your dog's lump turns out to be a benign fatty cyst.  As dogs get older they are prone to them (or at least mine have been).  Please let me know how it goes with him.
 
Other doggie photos coming up tomorrow, both pack present and pack past!

Are there pick up trucks on Mars?  Is there country in the stars?  Do they drink moonshine from jars?  Are there pick up trucks on Mars?
These are the questions I asked while sitting alone under the Very Large Array of the NRAO vowing not to leave until I received a response. I sat there for days and the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months until an entire year had passed and not a peep from the pathway to the other planets, then on day 399 of my vigil in the desert sands of New Mexico I picked up a faint, very faint signal from my transistor radio...something like...
 We've got fiddles and guitars, the juke box in our bars. We smoke pot and fine cigars. Life's mighty good out here on Mars.
 

They wanted to build the super collider in Texas, but the project was scrapped only because they wanted to build it (like everything else in Texas) bigger. If they had built it according to plan, they NEVER would have found that damm particle. 

From the movie Contact...

"So what's more likely? That an all-powerful, mysterious God created the Universe, and decided not to give any proof of his existence? Or, that He simply doesn't exist at all, and that we created Him, so that we wouldn't have to feel so small and alone?" (Ellie Arroway)

All I need to know about space travel and aliens I learned from Firefly.  Hmmmmm I wonder if Joss Whedon is an alien.

PARK....................they are indeed....................here...............
 
IVAN.....................blessings right back to you & a fine weekend too!

Prove you are not an alien.....

How else could you explain Tiny Tim, Pee Wee Herman, Dennis Rodman, the Kardasians, and some our our more colourful posters, unless they were visitors from another universe?

I've got an 'E' ticket for theSepia tonight. I hear the revolving door has been calibrated and declared up-to-snuff.

I'm just sittin' in the back yard watching the yard rabbit chow down some bread and veggies I put out. Nice............and relaxing.

Peace out

Where are my manners...... Welcome back comfortable1.....always nice to read you.

That they're in need of a good offline book and a nap?  That might fix em.  Couldn't hurt.  

How do you do Northsider? We took my grandsonto Scuttlebutts last week.......mmmmmmmmm

The revolving door is working properly?  Then, it's a deal.  What movie is showing tonight , Southsider?

blessings back to you, IVAN.

Peter Lake ~ Did you know that Tiny Tim was Bob Dylan's mentor when he first arrived in New York?  They didn't tiptoe through the tulips, but TT took him to many of the right places and introduced him to many of the right people. A relationship not unlike that of The White Rabbit and Alice.Something to keep in mind for friday night trivia on theSepia.

PAOLOS...............................I believe that Andy Pettite is from another planet, the planet of the beautiful, the tormented, & the d*mned (only because of the ol' leg thingy...............) or maybe the planet FINE because he has that written all over him.................man, I have wanted to use that line my whole life...................bwaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha!
 
PL......................watching the rabbit chow down some bread & veggies I put out.................yep, one of the many reasons you are loved................
 
STONEY.......................Your 10:25.......................one of the many reasons you are loved..............................

RY: can't prove I'm NOT alien. BUT I am good at alienating others!!!

A day late but here it is:
Carolbabcock = Crab Ab Lock Co.

RY ~ Or.....did they bring us their leader?

Paolos, i did not know that about Mr. Tim.

Like Carl Sagan said.....we all have space stuff in us. Many times I have felt like a stranger in a strange land.....and many others concur with that .....

Nos da good people of Earth.........

there was a space Alien trying to flag down thesepia train...that was that little bump that may have spilled a couple of drops of your fresh libation....now there are TWO Aliens....I guess they don't have trains where they come from......

Wonder where Spring Fragrance has been hiding? Miss her erudite comments.

One Saganesque observation was something like, "That there would NOT be other intelligent life forms in all the vast universe is more unlikely than that there are others out there." (And we might add, and here on earth, too....Agreeing with PL at 6:00 ish.....so many who are weird, abnormal, and plain dangerous.)

Grandmothering the munchkin for a week or so, so already weary....turning in....going to the pillows....pleasant dreams to all....no matter your planet or tribal affiliation.

AHhhHHhhh...the Earthlings  are asleep....quick,hide one stocking from the dryer.....lets not hide the teevee remote this time, or the reading glasses...ahhh, me hearties, you are allowed to steal a cookie, but only one....now quick, back to hiding......

Please excuse my 7:04 post..................it was in bad taste considering the day. It is one of those cringe inducing times where you go , "Why?" Apologies all around.................I should know better............................

RoadYacht...you're thinking of the brownies!  THEY hide socks and eat cookies!  (Not the little girl kind of Brownie, either, so no pun....well, OK, pun intended!)
 
Remeber the first Men in Black movie?  They had up a board of photos of aliens...you had to look carefully to catch it, but I KNOW they were right.  Newt Gringrich IS an alien!  And I wish he WOULD go home!  (I once lived in his district...)

bebe:  it's not your post that's cringe-worthy, so no apologies accepted, they're not needed.  I need a nap.

You know what?  We all missed a point in JP's original post...let us celebrate that "One small step for man..." and hope we go back one day! 
 
I was in the selection process for Mission Specialist when the Challenger went down...and took my hopes of being in space with it.  Ah well.
