Witness 1: Alert! Alert! There's a fire over there!

Sir, this is Antarctica.

 

[Todd Feinman]

UFO Witness: "Look, there's a UFO up there!"
Skeptic: "Nah, those don't exist!"
UFO Witness: "No! Look! It's a saucer! And it's coming closer"
Skeptic: "No way! That's a bird wanting to be fed, or a deflating balloon, of course!"
UFO Witness: "My god, it's right above you, zig-zagging back and forth, man!"
Skeptic: "Nope! It's a big hat, or it might be a hubcap someone has thrown at us, and that's parallax."
UFO Witness: "Good Lord! It's right on your head!!"
Skeptic: "No it's not! It's just an illusion; the hat is on a distant hill."
UFO Witness: "No! It's on your head! Right on your head!!"
Skeptic: <slurping noise>
UFO Witness: "You headlander!! It's sucked out your brain!"
Skeptic: "No it hasn't, human.."

I know, the pyramid is on fire.

Lost me at the clicks -- not sure what that's referring to?

Fixed it. Was Disclosure Day reference (which I haven't seen!).

Lost me at the clicks...

You made it t' the clicks?!?
You're a better man than me.

Oldest scam ever ...

Aww. I make it through all of the repetitive fairy talk! It's my duty!

That's not how parallax works. Nor how perspective works.
(cue the Father Ted clip. It does NOT say "small and far away".)

But you can count on the UFO witness in your story to fail to take a clear photo.

Dang, that's a hot summer.

No points for pointing out the factual inaccuracies of this reply.

Oh I see! Thank you.

Proof there is life on Mars ...

Proof there is life on Mars ...

Reminds me, I once saw an ant franticly running to and fro across the end of a chocolate bar wrapper.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"It says 'tear along dotted line'," he replied.

Then you laughed, then you cried, and satisfied the request.

I had to look up "Beispielbild," I was sure it meant "this is just a bird." See, it never pays to jump to conclusions...

It said "ambiguous picture" to me, which would fit so well, as I saw a "bi-/twin" in "bei", a "message" in "spiel", and of course "bild" is familiar.

However, with curiosity piqued, I was led to discover that English basically has that word almost unchanged: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/byspel#English

From Middle English byspel, bispel, from Old English biġspel, bīspel ("a proverb; pattern; example"), equivalent to by- +‎ spell ("talk, saying, discourse, story"). Compare Scots byspel ("byword; rarety; outcast"), Saterland Frisian Biespil ("example; pattern"), Middle Dutch bijspel ("proverb; parable"), German Low German Bispill ("example"), German Beispiel ("example").

I'm kinda happy how close I was, despite being miles out. A reminder to self, even if you can work out the etymology that doesn't mean you've worked out the meaning.

One of the bars at the McMinnville UFO Festival *really* ought to have a range of cocktails based on a well known herbal liqueur, the UFO-Jäger, the Bigfoot-Jäger, ...

And it might even work:

In terms of ancestry, 23.6% were German, 13.7% were English, 12.2% were Irish, and 5.0% were American.

Can't e an Australian cat, it's not upside down.

Maybe it's in free fall. It'll turn over by the time it gets to land.
