humans make great crop mandalas

That’s right, I said “humans.” Click on thumb for the big picture.

Dubya and Bonfire Night

If you know nothing about the British Holiday of “Guy Fawkes Day and Bonfire Night,” you may learn more here. If you have a short attention span and want the abbreviated version, our cousins ‘cross the pond make an effigy of this butthead named Guy Fawkes, and burn it amid merriment and fireworks.

I’m pretty sure we Americans are way too apathetic (or paranoid) to get something like “Dubya Day and Bonfire Night” going here, but I like the idea. After all, Guy Fawkes’ nefarious doings pale in comparison to Dubya’s.

“I’m from Earth dogtag,” OR “Pioneer plaque ripoff for vulgar profit”

Note ethnocentricity. Definitely conceived in America

Basically junk, but kinda funny. The header of the site selling these “I’m from Earth” dogtags reads:

Need a weird Christmas gift for your space, alien, or UFO lovers?
SURVIVE ALIEN ABDUCTION…LOCATION EARTH DOG TAGS!”

I can see the value in something like this, perhaps in inducing people to cultivate a little humility and stop thinking the center of the universe is in the collective human hiney, but otherwise…well, I’m pretty sure it’s not gonna get used. Although if the aliens really are backward enough to fly umpteen light years, at mind-boggling energy expenditure, just to probe our keesters for the center of the universe therein, then they might just be retarded enough to lose their way, and really need to consult the pulsar bearings on the dog tag.

Heavy. Rip off the Pioneer plaque, and try to sell it to internet UFO geeks. Kinda cheapens the whole “goofin’ whillikers, let’s reach out to our cosmic brethren, if any” sentiment. Not that I necessarily approve of such starry-eyed nonsense.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to give you the address. Damn, where did I put that…?

You’ll get no addy from me. I resent viral marketing.
