About that UFO landing - interesting sound - never reported in the wild. A combination of air jet and primitive high-voltage equipment. The folks in the park scattered while the saucer was still picking a landing site. And, as usual, Hollywood could not imagine a first contact scene not modeled on Europeans in sailing ships. If I were a UFO captain, I'd sure call up the UN, and then air traffic control before landing.

If I were a UFO captain in 1951, I'd be discussing this earthy thing they call "The Cold War" and likely decide not to land at all. Too primitive.

Let Gort detonate the weapon remotely from the ship outside the earth's orbit.

I think we are being treated the same way we treat uncontacted tribes on Earth. Until we start making movies about peacefully trading with aliens, we are probably regarded as a potential threat to be contained if necessary. However, they probably have also never seen an intelligent species not destroy their planet unaided if they didn't get the rich beings under control during the agricultural phase, before the inequity got multiplied with technology.
 
“To no me is to love me.”

That’s what it said on a woman’s profile on one of my dating apps. So if you say no about wanting to meet her, you actually really love her?
 
People keep telling me my ideas are pi-in-the-sky.
So what's the problem? 20241109_073150.jpg

Found this while digging thru some totes of stuff looking for something else this morning.
Wow, that was eons ago :p

About 24 years ago I got to be a guest on a prominent Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania morning show after winning a really nice color TV at their Halloween show in the Southside of Pittsburgh.

My costume was fairly simple with the exception of using a professional makeup kit and a plastic skull mask that we painted silver then dry brushed with black to simulate soot traces from an explosion finished off with charred flesh, ragged tears and open wounds.
Kind of based on The Terminator theme, it must have made an impression.

That night the club featured a Pittsburgh based rock band called The Clarks.

When the band struck the first chord of this song, the audience started tossing cigarettes on the stage.
(yes, smoking was still legal in all bars back then)

When I went to the old Greentree studios to pick it up, I asked for a studio tour.
They declined but then said they would put in a bid for me to go on a Friday morning show.
Two weeks later, I got my call.
My gf and I were treated like royalty, given a breakfast and a full bag of WDVE goodies.
Still got the T-shirt ;)
Heck, when I was introduced to the radio audience, I even got to plug my business on air.

The Wonderful Dove as the call letters WDVE was originally coined from back in 1969 has remained a staple of Rock and Roll for over 55 years now

Ahh, cleanups. A friend of mine was in the middle of one when he made a quick trip to the store. He noticed a lot of people looking at him. When he got home and looked in the mirror, he remembered that he had put his Moose-antler hat on to carry it to where it belonged, and forgotten it.

It says they don't know where these things come from, I'll bet it comes from a company that makes a lot of money handling biomedical waste and dangerous waste. And they are dumping it into a river or directly into the ocean. 🤔

Make-up of balls washed ashore revealed - and it's grosser than first thought

Another more in depth story gave a much better analysis of the balls, they are mostly human waste. Unlike Britain, Australia doesn't have sewerage overflow problems and we don't pump raw sewerage in to the ocean. Oceanologists believe it was most likely dumped from a ship, and the high drug count in the feces suggests it was a cruise liner.

Hundreds of mysterious balls washed on Sydney beaches. Now we know the 'disgusting' substances in them

New Foundland in Canada has had a similar problem but theirs is industrial waste, not people's poos.

Newfoundland beach blobs are plastic pollution, but source remains unknown: scientist

That makes sense. 🤔 They mentioned veterinary drugs so I was thinking biomedical waste, a waste company taking shortcuts to increase profits.

PFAs make sense too for a cruise liner. That would be the fire suppression chemicals they use in their automated emergency systems and those things would need to be tested regularly. It's a bad sign for the health of their passengers though, if there's residual PFAs all over every surface of their ship.
