That’s hilarious. I live in Bolingbrook about 2 miles from Clow International UFO space port. I gotta find out who is writing this; think I’ve found a new fellow skeptic/drinking buddy.

Umm, anyone see our friends from the Federation of Light yet?

Crap… I guess my friend Blossom was wrong…

I saw a cartoon once of a UFO landing in front of two hillbilly types. The caption was something like “It’s uncanny. How do they know we are not credible?’ I thought it was hilarious.

Bill Hicks was right when he pointed out that aliens traversing the gulf of interstellar space, probably aren’t as smart as we like to think they are since they seem to only bother deliverance types.

Maybe we’re being visited by hillbilly aliens.

I don’t know about alien abductions, but here in San Antonio we get an occasional alien home-invasion. We got lots of aliens here. None I’ve seen come by UFO though.

@CanadianLeigh:

The aliens go to BC alright, and it is for the grass, but not of the variety you grow so well in your yard! :^)

Greetings from the BC Peace, home of the annual “UFO & Cattle Mutilation Convention & BBQ” for the last 27 years…

Since you wrote the Foreword to “The Saucer Fleet,” are you dragging me along on your coattails? Even if not deliberate, thanks for the plug.

PS – the actual release date isn’t available yet, but at least it’s at the publisher!

@JoeSmith:
Possibly, but one thing I know for sure, it would be Death From Uranus!

I wonder, if you’re sitting on the loo and a microscopic black hole passes through the earth from the other side and zips right through you–would that be Death from Below?

Blossom Goodchild?

Sounds like a character from a G-rated Bond film.

@MichaelL,

Thanks for the info! My humor detector is apparently out of calibration.

They mistook the book for an intelligent lifeform, as it has more valuable content than most peoples brain’s.

BTW, Phil, are they beaming your book up, or spitting it out????

@Greg:
Her name is Blossom Goodchild. She’s been in ‘communication’ with these aliens, but it seems I was a day off. These spaceships will appear tomorrow, which is lucky for those of us on the West Coast because the weather is supposed to clear tomorrow.

Look, with a name like ‘Blossom Goodchild, how much more reliable do you need?

(Google her name, and you’ll get all the ‘facts’ you need to prepare for this mass sighting.)

I for one, welcome our ‘Federation of Light’ Overlords, along with Ambassador Blossom.

What a sneaky way to get your book plugged. Good luck on its sale.

That photo is obviously faked.

Didn’t you know, spaceships visit Vancouver all the time. Everyone knows they only come on rainy days and stay above the clouds. I know because my grass starts growing faster when they are overhead.

So your book is 15 feet tall? Does that still qualify for Amazon’s free shipping?

Here’s another thought. If you are not sure about odds, you should become increasingly concerned as time passes and nothing happens. Illustration: the odds are 1:100. You made 99 experiments and nothing happend. Well, you think, it didn’t happen in the row of previously taken attempts. Nothing happens if I try once more…

@MichaelL,

Ok, I’ll bite…

Who is your “reliable source?” I think you’ve been tricked.

OK, I was fooled until I read that one of the rioters was from Downers Grove. Sheesh. I need to get out, more. These kinds of things usually only come out in April, for some reason.

OTOH, if someone really does have the inside track on a ship leaving this planet, let me know.

Phil, your Bad Astronomy book is awesome! I even learned a couple things in the first section, and I thought I was pretty well edumacated. Yeah, I ordered the new one, too. Can’t wait.

[...] His first book, Bad Astronomy, was engaging and informative. I have every reason to suspect that his next book will be even more awesome. I just wish he’d let us know what it’s called, or even give us some kind of hint at what it’s about. [...]
