Tale to Astonish

... man, finally got a good day of sunshine and temperature, with perfect 'Yough' water conditions ta' boot - what a great day to "head out" on the river - unfortunately, by the time some neglected 'chores' are finished, it's well past noon, and 'muscle girl Sarah' and the 'Z-Man' are due at 5pm for a "birthday dinner" - no time to squeeze in any "quality" river time...

... have a few hours to kill - pull out the "shades", beach chair, a smoke and a few 'PBR's' and "post-up" in the back yard under a clear blue sky...

... Whoa!!??... not even two swigs, and what's this smoking in from high in the western sky? - rockets in like a meteor and zaps to the ground like a bolt of lightning - luckily, I now keep the 'T2' "close to the draw" (see 'Famous Last Words') - WOW! - if I had to choose - animal, mineral...

...it's a big-ass vegetable with a bright 'cycloptic eye' - with "telepathic communication" ta' boot - this photo is just after "touch-down" (vapor contrail spotting trajectory)...  

... says his name is "OOD" - he roams the galaxies - saving worlds forests and depleting all of cut firewood fuel supplies...

... and he ain't XXX!! around - locks on and is quickly movin' in to my 'stash' - then the world!!.. gotta' do somethin' quick to save the planet!!!...

... remember seein' a movie' recently where they played some old 'Slim Whitman' tunes to defeat some 'Martian' invaders' - I rocket into the house and am frantically pitchin' CD's left and right - XXX!! - no 'Slim Whitman'!!!! - closest thing I got Is 'Elvis' and 'Jailhouse Rock'! - I crank it up - and get an immediate response!!!...

... he comes to an immediate halt - cyclo-eye diminishing... (and neighbors screamin' "turn down the XXX!! music!!!")....

... and out...

... next thing I know - I'm flat on my ass - watching a speeding fireball disappearing into the western sky (photo left)... (neighbors screamin' - "you set off one more XXX!! firecracker and we're callin' the cops!!!")

... and fading cryptic symbols ....

... Ha! - that was fun - thank you mister 'Stan Lee'...

... and mister 'Jack Kirby'..... 

... ya' have to be familiar with these old comics to appreciate the "silliness'...

'Nuff Said!....

09/08: Made a few edits - a girl whose young son frequents here asked us to "tone down" the referenced "obscenities" - we obliged and apologize.
