THIS IS SCIENCE
A Lesson Learned…In The Twilight Zone
For me- as a writer– this closing scene from an Twilight Zone Episode titled
” Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up”
taught me to not only look under the bed or into the closet to find the monster so that I could write about it
it taught me to get under the bed or into the closet and THINK like one.
Enjoy.
During a snowstorm, two state troopers are investigating a crash and are led to believe that it was a UFO. They follow footprints leading from the crash site to a diner, where a group of passengers from a bus to Boston are waiting for word that a bridge up ahead is safe to cross. Though the only patrons of the roadside eatery are bus passengers, there is one more diner than there were people on the bus. There is mutual suspicion among the stranded travelers, as the passengers each try to guess which among them is the alien. When they get permission to go across the bridge, however, they all leave.
Shortly, the businessman played by John Hoyt returns to the diner and tells the cook that the bridge collapsed and the bus and police car fell in killing all aboard the bus and the policemen. As the cook wonders how the businessman survived, he also notes that his clothes are not even wet. Soon the businessman unveils his third arm and stirs his coffee with his third hand, telling the cook that he is a Martian, and revealing that Mars plans to start a colony on Earth. Laughing, the cook tells him that he’s too late, and by taking off his paper hat and revealing his third eye, reveals that he is from Venus, which has already started a colony, and that the Martian invasion force has been intercepted.

The Kids Are Alright
Meeting Day!
Screw You Shakespeare and Your Stupid Company Too!
Okay, I can deal with the fact that David Tennant will not be Doctor Who for the next twenty years.
The Doctor as we know him will only be around for a couple of more years and may I suggest you love’em while you’ve got him, but chin up because Tennant is a great actor and I sincerely doubt this will be the last time we see him on the screen.
So all I can say is, unless the powers that be who will be casting the next Doctor find someone as hot as Tennant they’re in trouble and they know it…so I’m guessing they go geeky with the next Doctor- which has it’s charms.
But who do I blame for this Non-Hot Doctor Zone we are about to enter?
I blame William Shakespeare, that’s who, and if he were alive I’d stick a quill pen in his eye.
So there.

I’ve found a way to work in Tequila and David Tennant onto a Christmas Blog.
I am So clever…
HAHAHAHAHHA
So check it out over the holidays, it’ll be something fun to read.

Have You Hugged Your Governor Today?
I’ve had a lot of fun at Sarah Palin’s expense…which must at least give a chuckle to those Vampires at the RNC who got stuck buying Palin a bunch of new clothes and her husband’s silk boxer shorts…
but in the middle of the train wreck that was Sarah Palin-
my State re-elected our Governor- Chris Gregoire- and Gregoire is a Governor we can be proud of.
Here in Washington state we don’t have to wonder what Gregoire will do to us on the world stage everytime she opens her mouth- and we can also not worry about the fact that a very large percentage of the population sits around praying like crazy for her to say something stupid for a cheap thrill.
When Gregoire’s challenger- a Bush Light chucklehead who thought he could win a campaign by saying Chris Gregoire released sex offenders in the community who in turn were waiting to molest your children-Gregoire didn’t go nasty back on them.
I would have.
And it would have involved toilet paper, eggs and underwear hanging from somebody’s trees.
But then again, no one would ever elect me to anything.
Anyway.
Governor Gregoire stuck to the issues, she acted with class and she has always done right by us here in Washington and in the end she won the election.
Which makes me feel good to know that if you do the right things good things will come back to you.
So
Gov. Gregoire if I haven’t said it before I’m glad you’re our Governor
and Alaska all I can say is…
Thank You
for Sarah Palin
in these trying times we could all use a laugh- a good one- and in
Sarah ‘Caribou Barbie’ Palin you have given us that.
