Man, this is one for the books. Maybe this is why Florida is so weird, because of Stevie the space alien and his buddies and the business propositions which they pitch. Maybe Stevie and his buddies are registered to vote. Now that would be one fact which would clarify the political situation in which we find ourselves. Maybe it’s not the gods mocking us for their sport, maybe it’s the space aliens. In any event, Stevie was credited with giving a Florida couple the answer to their problems but it wasn’t just Stevie, Jesus helped, too.
I agree with this gal. At this point I, too, would just as soon go to outer space and do drugs. I understand that mindset and believe me, I’m ready. This place is getting more and more uninhabitable both physically and politically as the years go by. A nice, cool spaceship, just going through the cosmos, all the pretty lights, the quiet, some great drugs, take along some good music. And if they have a kitchen where I can cook gourmet food and an appropriate wine cellar, hell I’ll go tomorrow. Are you kidding?
In all events, you notice that they were caught with about ten grand on them, so they did find some takers for the tickets. That is worth noting. I don’t know if something has happened to this country to make it more stupid in recent decades but look at the factors we know about:
- You can sell tickets to Heaven to people;
- The prosperity consciousness preachers are making billions fleecing the stupid;
- Donald Trump is in the White House.
- Donald Trump is in the White House.
I rest my case. Stevie, where are you? I’ll meet you down on the lawn outside my building. Or, if you can beam me through the walls, all the better. I know you guys have dentists and proctologists up there, because I hear about the alien abductions and the tests. Do you have hematologists and osteopaths, too? Maybe even universal healthcare?
If so, this is a match made in Heaven, all my problems solved. And I’m okay with being put in a zoo, just as long as I’m loaded and all my material wants are covered. What’s that you say? Why did Stevie want this couple to earn some cash before he showed them the galaxy? Dunno about that. I’m just assuming that the space aliens do business like we do here, gas, grass, or ass, and “gas” in their parlance is dilithium crystals and those cost a lot, if memory serves.
Or, mebbe, just mebbe, this is like that Twilight Zone episode where they eat humans and Stevie is a successful space caterer because he not only finds the ingredients but he makes the ingredients pay for transport and their own preparation, spices, sauces and such. Now that’s ingenuity. No wonder these people are blasting through the galaxy and we’re lucky if we can make it to the Moon.
old as dirt but now we have the social media mouthpieces. stinks of desperation out there doesn’t it? maybe always has…
I get it that people want to leave the planet. Remember Heaven’s Gate and all the other UFO cults. That part of it makes perfect sense. But laying out money for tickets to get through the pearly gates? Now that is a different brand of delusion. I’m having trouble with that one.
The Catholic Church did that long ago with selling indulgences. It led Luther to start the Protestant Reformation. I’ve said Hypocrisy and Greed are cornerstones to our culture….let’s add Stupidity.
Indulgences were a great scam. The Catholic church was the precursor to the prosperity consciousness people of today, with the idea that you can buy your way into Heaven. I don’t believe there’s a Hell, but if there was, Kenneth Copeland and those clowns would wake up there. There’s no doubt in my mind.
I’d settle for being Billy Pilgrim and ‘unstuck in time’ with some of my travels taking me to Tralfamadore and spending quality time in a bubble with Montana Wildhack. Even if the price was them being able to watch not only normal stuff but more (ahem) intimate interactions. In other words I haven’t given up but I could sure as hell use a break now and then!
Watching that clip, am I the only one who thinks the dude should have been wearing a Kurt Vonnegut mask while reading the story? I swear, what we need to break the awful spell of Trump is Vonnegut and Hunter Thompson coming back from the dead, and working with the “heydey” version of Mel Brooks to write a screenplay and produce ‘History of the World – The Trump Years.’
George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, and Dick Gregory could be the censors.
Carlin I just thought of. Lenny Bruce hadn’t occurred to me, but you make a good point with all these names.
I’ve been saying for years now that we’re living in a scenario that only Kurt Vonnegut could write. God, I wish he was here. And George Carlin. Hunter Thompson would be welcome, too.
Maybe they could get up a card game if they were all shipped to the same gulag. I wonder if orangebob shitpants will trade ukraine land for a cheaper deal to ‘rent’ space in putin’s gulag playgrounds for us ‘grumblers’, a group Hitler officially listed to be arrested. I can clearly see I’m a problem. That damn Constitution! Everytime I try to get out…it pulls me back in.
