Topic title suggestions -- make them as specific as possible

If you want to get results &/or responses make your topic titles as specific as possible in the few words you are allowed.

For instance vague teaser titles are very likely to get passed over by those browsing.
The most common response is likely to be a WTF & not even a look inside the thread.

If you are a band looking for a musician, put your city, state in the title & the position you're trying to find.

If you abbreviate words in your title that makes it harder to find it in a search.

Hope this helps some of you in your quest.

Question - this thread has only two posts and seems to be part of a conversation in progress. I see that every once in a while.

How does that work?

thanks

Well, it's a little complicated ... perhaps this schematic will help to clarify things a bit.

I notice your location is Roswell -- which best describes your skin color [green or gray]?

.../~ j/k ~\...

...I think...

...just thought you might be an illegal extra-terrestrial alien...

...just in case you ARE: how does THAT work?...

...please don't take ANYTHING I say seriously...

...I don't want to be abducted & anally probed...

...oops! I didn't mean ILLEGAL extra-terrestrial alien...I meant UNDOCUMENTED extra-terrestrial alien...

...not currently open for abductions or anal probes, thank you very much...

...SERIOUSLY...I LOVE all SPACEPEOPLE!!!...

Yes; you'd think this would be obvious, but looking at a LOT of the subject titles on these forums just makes me smirk/cringe a bit inside.

just saying


Flooded???????? How about naming each active poster during a given day and assigning each of those posters to one of the digits on your hands. Think you can get ten? Would that be flooding the forum? :)

Umm ... you don't. If a premium (paying member) sends you a message, you can view it and reply (once) as a non-paying member. If that members sends another message, you can again view it and reply once.

I'm a little off beat, but I assure you that I am not an alien.

The Roswell I inhabit is that monument to Southern wonderfulness just North of Atlanta Georgia. Sadly, parts of it are starting to look like 'every city' USA but all in all it's pretty nice.

I should note that I have a testimony on an actual alien encounter that I share sometimes. It should clear up any rumors you may have heard.

___________________________

This is based upon a true story…

An old friend of mine, Steve Rose was his name; had been working at Johns Hopkins University as a lab tech. It was his sad duty to kill the lab rats after an experiment. He took some LSD. He was reading them Rimbaud and working on his second bottle of wine when he was found, weeping.

The security guards threw him into the gutter in the morning. When he awoke there were three mice next to him, talking in English. They thanked him for sparing their lives and then Steve and the mice did a song and dance number together – celebrating life and poetry! All is good…

So far.

Sadly, there was more to this story:

It turns out they weren't real mice at all. They were aliens disguised as mice. They'd been sent to earth to find out if we were as mean and violent as they'd heard. IF so, they planned to destroy the planet.

When Steve spared the 'mice' the aliens took it as a sign that we were actually pretty nice so they spared Earth and opened an embassy in Baltimore.

Everyone was happy except the security guards who had tossed Steve. You see, they too were aliens from yet another planet / dimension and had been sent to see if earth was actually violent enough to join the galactic federation of bad guys. Steve’s act of kindness was the 'enough is enough' moment for them.

Meanwhile:

Steve and the mice are dancing at the new embassy. Obama and Merkal and all the rest are there - celebrating the saving of the earth.

Camera fades to the beautiful star lit night outside as A-list celebrities dance with political big shots; everybody sparkling hard, and the band plays 'Three Blind Mice' over and over.

But wait! What's that flash in the sky?! It's getting bigger! It's coming this way!! Aiiiiiiii.....

just before the alien planet buster bomb impacts Steve looks over at the mice and exclaims, "Why you treacherous little shits!" And slaps one.

The missile miraculously stops - cut to a very scary looking alien grinning at his pals, "Maybe these Earth assholes aren't so bad after all...."

Then all the surviving country singers who are worth a damn come on stage and start singing "Will the circle be unbroken."

As the camera fades out we see a tiny mouse paw reaching furtively for a detonator....
