ET encounters in double-dactyl form

Daringly, erringly,
Children in Panama
Saw a strange being, and
All held their breath:

Certain the creature was
Extraterrestrial,
Showed they were human, and
Beat it to death.
The Digital Cuttlefish

Update: I also love this ode to Last Tuesdayism.

(reminder: I post much more frequently to my Twitter feed)

I've forwarded the link to the Digital Cuttlefish to a buddy back in the States. Of all my friends back there, I think that you and he would get along the best.

As for Twitter, no offense but I have no patience for it. I have enough to do. IMO, Twitter is clutter in all the worst ways.

Lost another LJ fiend to that garbage t'other week. Vexing.

I find I have no time for LJ these days, twitter is easier to keep up with. But to each his or her own.

Heh. Although given that the mystery beast in question was most likely a decomposing sloth, the main sign of their humanity seems to have been making shit up for the media...

Indeed. Note the lack of visible wounds on the body that could have been caused by sticks and stones.

I've recently joined twitter so am posting over there more now too. :)

I have a couple of questions to ask you that came up in the post workshop discussion at Bicon. What is the best way to contact you?
