Also, I used to work in a hospital; on staff was an RN who kept her TV covered in foil when she wasn’t watching to keep those pesky aliens from experimenting with her brain.
Way back before the dawn of even Woot, when the internet was still mostly darpa and local bbs’ and things like AOL, a couple of science fiction fans (at least they were not pros at that point of time) did a story and a slide show at some various conventions throughout the country. It was called “The Capture” and was about aliens abducting a science fiction cruise. It was hysterical. They eventually make a coloring book of the slides (we are talking slides that were used on an old fashioned overhead projector, not a computer) and it was sold and treasured.

@kdemo
But what if they were monitoring how people react to the fear of possible being monitored?
My foil is already compromised.

@f00l - Second choice - spray your windows with alien repellent and stay inside all day.

/youtube weird al foil
I didn’t want them to send me back, but they said I couldn’t stay…
As an unrelated aside, March 20 is also National Ravioli Day.
/giphy Coincidence? I think not.
This. Right?
(Yes I have posted this before). That cat looks irritated as in ‘excuse me human and you are doing this to me for what reason?’.
I made this for one of my co-workers. I’ll have to tell her to get it ready to use on March 20.
@heartny
When you get abducted (again), could I have your k?
I’ll take good care of it.
I’ll water it, walk it, play with it, and feed it.
@PlacidPenguin - It’s a special k. Maybe I could leave you a k key kit and you could knit your own. k?
@kdemo
I’m not good with sewing. Perhaps @sammydog01 could sew it for me.
@bramby2 - Easy peasy alien squeezy!
@aetris - Stick a probe in him, he’s done.
@aetris - And very cool mashup!

I got my copy at Westercon 1976 and I still treasure it.
@Cerridwyn - That’s pretty sweet. the value has apparently gone up 1000%. Did you color in your copy?
@kdemo
of course not
it was fun watching too because i can really see some of the f&sf fans i know screaming ‘take me’ ‘take me’
@kdemo this must be why I don’t remember being abducted today.
@kdemo @RiotDemon
