MIKE I know how that goes.

> * Aliens can take us -- our consciousness -- out of our bodies, disable

> * Aliens can be present with us in an invisible state and can make
>themselves only partially visible.
ALL [chanting mysteriously] Aliens inside us... aliens outside
us... aliens around us... hear our prayer...
> * Abductees receive marks on their bodies other than the well-known
>scoops and straight-line scars.
CROW They also receive the wire wisk scars, the cheese grater scars,
and the potato peeler scars.
>These other marks include single punctures, multiple punctures,
>large bruises,
MIKE Sounds like someone's an alien-batterer.
>three-and four fingered claw marks, and triangles of

TOM [gravelley salesman voice] Triangles, triangles here!
Isosceles, equilateral, you name 'em, we got 'em!
> * Female abductees often suffer serious gynecological problems

MIKE [cop voice] This alien is 19'0", blue hair, six green eyes.
Distinguishing marks include a tattoo on his third-to-last
left arm of a twelve-breasted woman on a hypercycle.
TOM If *you* have seen this alien, call Crime Tips at: 555-WEIRD.
>I've heard of gray, reptoid, insectoid and blond
CROW Blond, hot, and ready -- today's *new*, sexy alien.
>but what in the cat-hair is a widow's peak? Maybe I'll find out soon.
CROW What in the dog-fuzz is a person who doesn't know what a widow's
peak is? Hal Warren examines his all the time!
MIKE Why in the chinchilla-whisker is this junk taking up bandwidth?
> We will now continue our discussion on the details sometimes found in

MIKE [gets up and jerks round as if he's being shot] Ugh! Ya got me
wid da period gun!
TOM Pretty one-sided discussion, isn't it, John_-?
> * A surprising number of abductees suffer from serious illnesses they
>didn't have before their encounters.
CROW They came in contact with Typhoid Scary... get it?
[Tom and Mike groan]
>These have led to surgery, debilitation,
>and even death from causes the doctors can't identify.
CROW Is this sort of thing covered under Health Security?
> * Some abductees experience a degeneration of their mental, social, and
>spiritual well-being.
MIKE * We'll use alien abductions to explain every human idiosyncrasy.
CROW * And we'll do it with impunity!
MIKE * And we'll highlight our findings with asterisks, taking the
place of bullets!
>Excessive behavior frequently erupts, such as drug
>abuse, alcoholism, overeating, and promiscuity.
MIKE You know, there was this one girl back in Wisconsin... she
never had it in her, then one day, all of a sudden -- WOW!
This would explain a lot, you know...
CROW Probably, though, he's just full of it.
MIKE Yeah. Oh well.
>Strange obsessions develop
TOM [lecher voice] Yes, yes, yes... SHOW me that uvula...
So pink and dangly... hehheheuhehe...

> * Aliens show a great interest in adult sexuality,
MIKE [falsetto, slapping noise] Fresh!!

CROW Mr. B. Natural! All is clear now!

CROW [sleazy voice] Da seamy side o' aliens. Whips, chains,
hot wax, S&...
MIKE [turns to Crow] Crow, once more and you go in the corner.
> * Abductees recall being instructed and trained by aliens.
MIKE Hey, it's my college Latin American Studies class!
>This training
>may be in the form of verbal or telepathic lessons, slide shows,
CROW So, anyway, here's the time me and Ethel went to Betelgeuse...

TOM At DeVry, we're serious about success.

MIKE I think John_- saw the uncut version of "Scarface" before he

TOM The children belong to all of us. Think about it, won't you?
> * Aliens have forced their human abductees to have sexual

MIKE Uh...

CROW Yeah, Mike, let's see YOUR humble orgo-brain try to handle the
quantum physics involved in materializing fictional characters.
MIKE OK, OK, OK. That I will no longer try to materialize characters
from books, fanfics, *or* films,
TOM That I will no longer... OK, Mike, enough, I promise.
MIKE So help me Silicon.
TOM So help me Silicon.

Michael Sensor KD3LR - Duquesne University Communications Research - Pgh, PA
Mike has a cause of action against the Mads for false imprisonment, assault,
battery, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, negligence,
and maybe strict products liability -- if the SoL ever goes on the blink.
(Oh yeah, I'm a law student here at Duquesne too.)
