Donald Trump first visited Earth sometime between 100BC and AD100 and was immortalized as **Quetzalcoatl** , the “Flying serpent” (note the facial expression and “hairpiece” in [this document](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatl#/media/File:Teotihuacan_Feathered_Serpent_(Jami_Dwyer).jpg)). He is now running for US President on the way to global domination of our planet as a “way-station” for ETs on their way to Epsilon-Beta VI from the Alpha quadrant\*, much the way Reno is the “stop off” to Vegas. Men in Black are keeping close watch on the situation and will deal with Trump when the time comes. When the time comes. \*Believing Sol III (“Earth”) to be in and/or the hub of the Alpha quadrant is an Earther-centric pecadillo that “The Donald,” or “ **Q** ,” as he’s known off-world, will break us of if he’s elected President (plank #452 of his platform). ---

The most well known of these creatures is Chooeykablooiebaca, the copilot and companion to smuggler Han Solo who affectionately calls the Jabberwookie “Chooey.” ---

Ice cream delivery by the **“Goode Humour Man”** began in 1862 during the American Civil War. Allowed to sell to both sides of the conflict, it was a phenomenal success, but not as much from selling ice cream as running real and bogus “battle plans” to Army strategists. The total number of soldiers killed chasing after the waggons (sic), in the middle of battle, yelling “Iced Creame Man!” was said to number 86,000. The Battle of Gettysburg claimed more casualties from cool, refreshing treats than from actual fighting; the generals from both sides agreed to keep that fact out of history books, lest everyone look stupid. ---

> [@MrQwertyasd](#): > > The battle of Gettysburg was the first conflict in history to be settled by skating a halfpipe. The most famous action of the battle of Gettysburg was probably Pickett’s Charge, a failed Rebel attempt to break through the center of the Union line on the third day of the battle. Although Pickett was not really in sole command of the charge, almost everyone since, including his fiancee LaSalle Corbell, has thought he was. Too bad for Pickett, because LaSalle (“Sally”) dumped his ass, saying she was not going to marry a man so closely associated with the loss of the war for the CSA. ---
