Weird Thought of the Day…

If you’ve been reading our site for a long time, you’ve probably seen at least one of my ‘weird thoughts’ posts. This is one of those.

The other day, I was watching a commercial with people dancing. And my thought was… I wonder what aliens would think if they came to Earth and witnessed someone turning on music and people suddenly started wiggling their bodies around, making faces, turning in circles, etc. Would they think that maybe we’re allergic to music or something? It’d be a logical thought. When the music shuts off, people stop. They might think that music is somehow trance-inducing and we lose control of our bodies when we hear it.

I think it would be really mind-numbingly weird for the aliens. I think dancing might be one of those things that’s just uniquely human.

And then I thought about how weird humans are in general. Like for example… someone spent their time editing this and putting it on youtube.

I laughed and sort of enjoyed it to some degree, but I wouldn’t be surprised if aliens looked at it and then just exchanged perplexed looks… like… WHY?

And then I started thinking about Miss Teen South Carolina and what a complete dumbass she is and how the whole concept of that pageant is just asinine and I started to realize that we– as a species– are so far below the expectations that we should have for ourselves. I’m serious. God must be soooooo disappointed in how we spend our time.

So that was my weird thought today. I am the only one who thinks of weird shit like this?

Why aren’t you devoting your free time to serious thought — like new ways to pleasure Christopher, for instance?

OK… now you’ve done it. You got me thinking about the whole dancing & music thing with aliens….

What about this scenario: A crowded formal concert hall. The males are all dressed similarly — not unlike the cold-weather flightless bird the aliens have witnessed at the southern pole of this planet — while the females of the species are dressed in a variety of similar, yet individually distinctive apparel. One fat lady stands at the front of the assembled group and shrieks loudly for an extended period of time. Finally, the group (apparently displeased with the shrieking) stands and each member beats their extremities together wildly, driving the fat lady out of the vicinity.

Yeah, that’s opera…

In my absence, leave it to PJ to keep the 6 second average going…

All this talk of beating extremities has me exhausted…

I will comment more when the caffeine kicks it into high grind…

I, for one, was surprised that PJ talked about beating extremities in a non-sexual way… but yes, PJ… that’s exactly what I mean. From an outside perspective, that has to be EXACTLY what that looks like…

What’s with you guys? You all talk like I’m a sex addict or something… s

OK… so all of your sexual comments (which I resent, by the way) got me thinking about the aliens and our sexual habits… can you imagine the alien report to their home planet after visiting Trouble in the cayman islands??

“Gleeb-ngook reporting, sir. Based on our observations of the humanoid that the earthlings call “Trouble the Pirate”, we believe the natives are cannibals. Both the male in question and the 3 females were, apparently, attempting to consumer each other. We have seen similar behavior in the species they call “snakes” — but in those observations the animal attempted to consume it’s prey by consuming the entire body head first. In the case of the humanoids, it appears consumption begins in the lower extreme of the torso and involves much contorting and subdued moaning.”

Oops, sorry Trouble! I didn’t mean to dis you — perhaps I should have said

“In the case of the humanoids, it appears consumption begins in the lower extreme of the torso and involves much contorting and screaming to one of several possible supreme deities”.

You’re starting to creep me out, PJ… -)

Oh, sure, now that I officially rank 3rd on the list of contributors… NOW I’m starting to creep you out!

Just think of it as “creativity”. The next time you have a writing project for some TV show and you’re stuck with writer’s block, just say to yourself “What would PJ say?”

That will either get you an Emmy or get you fired — or both.

Luckily nothing creeps ME out… Well, x’cept Michael Jackson… But that’s normal right? I mean him creepin’ me out, not that he’s normal… ‘Cause he’s not… At least IMNSHO…

Anyways… I really can’t argue with PJ on this one…

Maybe God’s disappointment helps explain the existence of aliens. He got fed up, said fuck it and started over somewhere else in the universe. I don’t think it’s beyond the realm of possibilities.

As long as he didn’t get so fed up that he told the aliens we were expendable…

BTW… if God said, “Fuck it,” then I don’t see why we’re all making such a big deal about the “F” word.

Christine, you must have been daydreaming in Sunday school… the word was “flock” — not fuck. 8)
