Annalee, I see all our talk about live-action tentacle porn back on the Galaxy of Terror thread has gotten your imaginative juices flowing, so to speak. If I can plant more kink in your subconscious, will you post about it?:-)

@bookfoldbrewcineaste: Honestly I don't know how you could possibly plant more kink in there. I had to start growing it in my conscious mind because my subconscious was totally full.

@bookfoldbrewcineaste: You obviously have not been keeping up with recent advances in kink technology. It's all hydroponics now. It takes up less subconscious space w/out sacrificing yield. If you were to make the switch, you could plant tentacle porn *and* alien abduction fantasies (including probes!) in the subconscious space that you're using *just* for tentacle porn right now.

But make sure you do your research first. You never know what kind of peculiar mating habits those aliens will have.

"always remember to hang out in giant nightclubs that are near highly-classified research facilities"

This makes perfect sense, except that sometimes I can't tell the difference between a highly-classified nightclub and a giant research facility.

@noncornbatant: Think of it this way. The club has naked people dangling from trapezes. The research facility has naked people in glass cages. See? It all makes sense now.

I once thought that nothing good could come of Mr. Davies beating people over the head with his "teh gay is awesum!!11" philosophy. I am a big enough man to admit I was wrong.

OK, I'm just gonna come out and say it.

There's something rather vulgar about Geena Davis' face.

I don't know what that something is, but it's dirty. All I know is that I covered it up when my boss walked by so he wouldn't think I was looking at vintage porn.

So wait should I not False Disqualify, Throw Negs, or use Peacock theory?

I mean Mystery taught me all this stuff and I wanted to use it to get one of those perfect 10 aliens to plant their eggs in my stomach.

"Did it hurt? When you fell out of your spaceship?"

Offer to let them gnaw off your head while they deposit their larvae into your body cavity.

And ask them if they've lost weight.

I'm usually just polite and listen to them. I try and understand that it's difficult being in a new place and that sometimes all an Alien needs is some one not doing the full court press.

If that doesn't work I threaten to call MiB.

Possibly he was going to correct you. The name of the game is Mass Effect.

It's a nitpick though. Everybody knows what game you are talking about.

Sounds good, but what about all that alien tendency to eat human flesh and/or cause painful death during sex?
