What if intelligent beings from another world landed all over the planet tomorrow - and just sat there, not blowing stuff up or mutilating cows or experimenting on the cream of our society's white trash? What if each person was allowed either one statement to or question for these aliens? What would you say or ask?

Yeah. I decided there's not point in my leaving this forum - it wouldn't change what anyone did. I'm just steering clear of the political stuff and seeing what happens. So I wanted to start tossing out some questions a la our fearless leader and see what people had to say.


go.

i'd have to assume i'd ask why they hadn't killed us yet. ... cuz i've seen that movie, and i know they're gonna try (but i've gotta glass of water, beeyotch!)

in reality, i'd simply ask them about their home planet. what life was like. how it differed from ours.

or ... how we could learn to travel through space, also.

I'd ask them if they could come up with a cure for Gardners Syndrome. It could be done with gene therapy. We aren't there yet, but since they traveled the galaxy, maybe they are.

"you'd think wiht that big head of yours you'd know how to roll one on the right way"


And, to be fair, one of my favorite friends there is blind and I take every opportunity available to make fun of that and we're still friends. That guy never fit there. He never got the spirit of the RKMBs. We're gonna keep an eye on the obits, see if he finally left or if he really did have a heart attack.

Hey, guys, I don't mean to be rude, but if you're just gonna be sitting around not doing anything, do you think you could do that on the moon? I mean we're kinda busy here and if you're not gonna lend a hand It would be nice if you got out of the way.

Some days urg makes me proud to be his friend. Then there are the days that he steals my beer and fucks my woman. Somedays he gets that backwards.-Lothar

"Those were good days. Sitting around the campfires, eating dinosaur meat, and clubbing our wimmens in the head. I dream of those days sometimes. When Urg would make speeches and lead us to victory over the neighboring tribes. Good days, man. Good days." -Grimm
