I’d like to subit a [site](http://www.catsarefrommars.com/catphotos.htm) for Weird Earl’s collection of web oddities, if that’s possible for a lowly one such as myself to do. I’ve had no end of delight trying to figure out whether this is an intentional joke or whether somebody actually believes this stuff. I just want to know how they got a cat and an iguana to eat from the same bowl…

Sadly, I know what happened to Weird Earl.

He broke his leg. We had to shoot him.

BTW, that sites gotta be a joke. I’ve heard people believe some weird shit it my day, but DAMN! That’s just outright extreme paranoia.

I love it! Thank you for posting that link and making my day. I shall now e-mail the URL to all my friends, most of whom have multiple aliens in their very own homes!

Some even have the non-mutated version!

Sequent,

Anybody can submit a Weird Earl, but doing so in MPSIMS probably won’t get you anywhere. There is a thread in About This Message Board for Weird Earl submissions:

Thanks, David. I’ll throw my two cents into the other thread.
