It was there all day…this huge fiery ball just hanging there like a…huge fiery ball-like thingy. It kept moving and finally disappeared. I know not what it was, but I hope to see its like again. Soon.
On my home planet, we used to call that pffsft, which translates literally to The Big Fiery Ball Thing That Traverses The Sky, Bringing Life And Warmth To All Creatures. I belive humans have their own name for it.
Does your anus feel all probey?
Yes… and yet, strangely… no
Oops, that was my fault.
Well, mine, and taco bell.
well, really, mine, taco bell, and bic.
It won’t happen again.
A bird?
It’s a transdimensional life form that manifests itself in our universe as a massive display of nuclear fusion.
Though his name is Algonquin C. Bamblewoozy, the one nearest us prefers to be called Tabitha. Yeah, he’s a bit off…
We’re talking about the sun, right? This is a joke thread?
Actually, we’re talking about that mushroom cloud behind you. It’s gravely serious-look out your window!
Oh man, is he from Virginia? :eek:
Poor guy. Whodda thunk the aliens would attack Arlington first…
What is this “sun” of which you speak? We know only the gray, monotonous covering that pelts us with liquid and occasionally a white substance resembling the ash from our winter fires, but cold instead of hot.
Stories have been told around said fires of the fiery ball, but verily, it has been so long since the denizons hereabouts have seen it, that we put little stock in such foolish tales.
That’s my soul up there.
Many programmers have been baffled by this. In the trade we refer to it as the scary face in the big blue room. We avoid it whenever possible.
The Sun? You mean that thing that’s always creeping around here about 8:00 in the morning? It must DIE! After all it’s making the cockatiels crazy–I swear I saw Music Man trying to climb the wall when the sun came out one day. And then the ringneck parrots zoom up and down the hall or bounce plastic balls on the floor while the dove coos like a maniac and the conure shrieks and the lovebird trills. I’ve told them that ball of fire has been here for 5 billion years and will be here for another 5 billion but every day when it comes out they act like it’s a freakin’ miracle or something!
So, how large a nuclear missile do we need to get rid of it? Or should I just put paper over the windows?
It must be a god! The most powerful of gods! Let us bow down and worship Him!
Sun smash! Sun smite!
I just looked up into the heavens and I can see that all is well for it is there again. Or maybe not, it is now a shade of white and a piece of it has been blown off. Someone seems to attacked the golden orb, but who or what could it be?
Hey that fiery ball was hanging around in my sky earlier today. It’s probably lost and wandering around.
A very powerful god he must be. For he obviously travels through the underworld in order to return to its usual starting place each morning. For, even when I cannot see the god directly, I can stil discern his presense. Fear inspiring he is!
The god you are seeing right now, against the blackness of the underworld must be a she devil god. Female it must be, for it is constantly changing in appearance.
It’s been eaten by the moon! But can the moon keep it down, or will it be forced to disgorge it, and the horrific cycle will begin all over again?
