Aliens at the Mic Tonight at 7pm Chicago Time

Don’t Worry They Are Friendly, I Think
YES, the mic will be open again tonight. So start collecting your thoughts. Remember, you get to bring what you want to talk about.
The rules are simple — be nice.
There are always first timers and new things to talk about.
Tonight we’re talking to aliens!
We might also talk about
- Alien Movies
- Alien Books
- E T, Star Wars, Star Trek
- Aliens we’ve known personally
AND THE EVER POPULAR,
Basil the code-writing donkey.– who might be an alien too.
It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
Bring your alien friends with you!

Hey Liz,
Didn’t you like the pic I sent you of me and my alien fiend (friend)?

Whohoo! I’ll definitely try to be on time for this one
ME Strauss said
Joe, I emailed you about the photo.
I liked yours a lot. I’ve already got the photo and the post is already written.
ME Strauss said
Great news AdLib,
I’m looking forward to having you here!
Joe said
Liz,
I got the E-mail after the comment.
I like my little alien made of an off-cut of a Tulip Poplar Tree.
I think he’s cute, he is still on my chest of drawers along with other keepsakes.
ME Strauss said
Joe,
Visitors must have an interesting time when they first see your chest of drawers.
Joe said
Yeah, they can’t figure out why he is there next to a picture a friend of mine from Morroco painted after 9/11.
(long story)
ME Strauss said
And then do they start calling you, Norman Bates??
Joe said
Ok I mis-spelled Morocco? Morrocco? How do you spell it???
Joe said
No Dead People ‘Round Here…
ME Strauss said
Joe,’
That sounds exactly like something Norman would say.
Joe said
But, he never had an alien sitting on his chest of drawers, nor one paint a picture of NYC for him…
ME Strauss said
I don’t know, Joe. Norman never described his room to me — as far as I know.
Joe said
That’s what you can have for next week…
HORROR MOVIES…
ME Strauss said
You think so? Okay with me.
Joe said
Sure, why not?
It’s your house, you can call the game.
ME Strauss said
Yeah, but I like everyone to have fun, too.
Joe said
Liz…
You are such a good hostess, no matter what game you pick, everyone will enjoy themselves.
ME Strauss said
Joe,
You’re too nice.
Joe said
Pishaw…
Gotta go for a while, see you tonight.
I’ll have my alien with me, just in case…
ME Strauss said
Alien protection is always a good thing at Tuesday night comments.
Advice Librarian said
I’ll bring more pictures… some even stranger than the ones I brought last time
ME Strauss said
The mic is open head on over!
