Mr. little, it looked a lot like that!

I'm not saying whose mother I mean, but some moms should not be allowed to handle loaded shovels.

I'll barely have a quorum of avatars by the end of the year... but I may still honor the best of the best... maybe a Top 10...

I'll note not to include this one since it has your approval...

You never listen to me.

Or, more accurately, you listen to me, but you never take my Most Excellent suggestions.

Must have been something from chat, because Lizbit hadn't posted anything on the Bored for a month before this.

Mr. Marley, I told Mr. little about an unpleasant incident that took place the night before last.

Me and my sister were trying to learn a foreign language. That alien astronaut from Planet Possum landed on our back fence, so me and BeBe talked to him in Dog, but really loud, so he could understand us. He spoke back to us in Alienese. We were just about to find out what "Hissss hiss screee" meant, when my mom came outside and said something in MadMom: "Stop barking. I mean it! It's after midnight, and the neighbors might like to sleep." (If her speech included any swear words, I have left them out. I'm not saying there were any swear words, but it wouldn't surprise me, if you know what I mean.)

Then she saw the alien astronaut and got a crazy look in her eyes. (Maybe not crazy. Maybe thoughtful but disturbed.) She grabbed a shovel to push the alien and his spaceship off the fence to the yard behind us. I guess she thought we would stop making noise if we couldn't see him. As if. She did not shove him off, though. Instead she poked the fence and made it shake, which scared him, so he ran farther down. She did that about three more times before he ran far enough to climb up into a tree. Strangely enough, when we couldn't see him any more in the leafy branches, we stopped making noise.

Remember that Twilight Zone episode where the old hillbilly lady comes out with a broom to take on the tiny alien astronaut on her front porch? That's exactly what my mom looked like, crazy eyes -- I mean, thoughtful but disturbed eyes -- and all.

Me and BeBe never did learn any new conversational phrases in the alien's home tongue, so we hope he comes back again soon. We like to learn stuff.

Good story, Lizibit!

I hope he comes back soon, too, but it may be a long round-trip to Planet Possum. :)

I would have thought the White Hot Glare of Rightousness would have obviated the need for the broom.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Oh, my goodness.

I am kinda with suitguy that one would think the White Hot Glare would have made use of the broom moot.

It IS a most excellent story and Sliver IS the Queen of the Animal Kingdom!

Upon reflection I have concluded that SC takes to heart the admonition that with great power comes great responsibility and that she was too kindhearted to unleash TWHG upon a mere possum when a broom would be adequate.
