**peritrochoid** , no worries, man, they’re a bit behind in their mailings, is all. I’m sure its on it’s way … but if not … .lemme look here,  
**riffles through his pile o’ addresses written on bar napkins and scraps of paper …**  
Dang! I’m sure it was one of these, but I didn’t write their names on it … try this one …  
“The Head of Non-Human Thinking and Plans”  
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW  
Washington DC 20500

That might be it … I’m Sure the folks there would lkie to know how you think they are doing in their plans to change the human race!

Interesting approach. Especially when the [average Joe](http://www.aliensandchildren.org/ThoughtScreenHats.htm) is so busy trying to _discourage_ alien abductions.

**Wyatt** , I think that address is their selection committee. I got a letter from there just recently saying that I’m under review … or something along those lines.

**SkyBum** , is it as puzzling to you as it is to me that folks would want to _discourage_ abductions? Actually, I’d **really** like to be abducted by the mantis kind of alien. I’m a big fan of Zorak of Space Ghost fame. Maybe I could get his autograph! YIPPEE!! 😃

Well, before you go, you might want to [read up to be prepared](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0970263015/103-0689628-3808612?v=glance).

[sub]What’s really disturbing is the customer reviews.[/sub]

Hey, **don’t mind me** , if you, too, had

You’d probably write a glowing review, too.

Assuming your deflector beanie was duct-taped on tight enough. 😛
