Merged Their Return

So this isn't imaginary afterall?

I doubt that the Olympic committee would appreciate an email saying:

Dear Sir/Madam
We are engaging in an anonymous internet forum member's fantasy and therefore would like you to waste even more UK tax payers money on a 'moment skyward' in order to see if the imaginary aliens can be coaxed down to make use of the much improved public transport system we imagined we had installed just for them.

Yours sincerely
Stray Cat

PS: Does the Northern Line run to the outer atmosphere, if so they can leave their imaginary mothership moored to the imaginary Sky Hook Boris has built for them and catch the 5.30 to Kings Cross from there.

That isn't the e-mail I was hoping you'd send...

Something like this:

Dear Sir/Madam:

As an experiment in the human experiment, I and others would like to suggest that The Olympic Community invite 'the gods of heaven' down to the opening ceremonies, during "a moment skyward", as the whole world looks to the sky for E.T.s to descend once again...as all our ancient texts claim occurred in the past.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

There will already be a 'moment skyward' where I guarantee that everyone will look in total awe at bright lights in the sky. It's called a Firework Display.
 
Although I know this may well be lost on our international friends who don't follow Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer's game show Shooting Stars, the way to coax something down from above is to 'coo' like a dove and motion with your fingers.
As retorts go, this one is neither funny, nor informative.
One, it was funny, and two, how do you know is wasn't informative? You tried it?

No, I think it would be much better if we ask Wills and Katie to do it for us on their big day. Seeing as he has a shape-shifting alien lizard for a great grandmother (apparently), I'm sure they'd have more clout than us prols.
 
You know, if the UFOs were piloted by the ancient "gods" from myth, then the LAST thing we'd want is for them to come back.

Almost unilaterally, the ancient gods acted as humans writ large. Yes, their powers were far beyond mortal ken, but so were their flaws. To entice them back (follwoign various stories from ancient myth) we'd need more than a "moment skyward", an act which might buy their return to show these upstart mortals what they do to people who try to pass off a moment of silence as serious worhsipping.

We'd need various things, such as animal and/or human sacrifices, dances and rituals, sacred fires, sexual rites, virgins, a group of self-mutilators, and probably some toher things.

If your "ETs" ar ethe gods of ancient myth, any coaxing down of them I'd be willing to support would involve their landing on the largest nuclear weapon stockpile we could gather, followed by it's immedaite detonation.
 
Do YOU think we should, at the VERY least, attempt to invite them to one of our global spectacles, like the Olympics, [...]


At the very least, it's not my delusion that there are ancient astronaut UFOliens out there somewhere to attempt to invite. I posed several questions which, at the very least, were rudely ignored in favor of continuing to solicit my opinion. Whether or not we should attempt to invite them is a question of practicality, at the very least. What language do these made up beings understand? How much power do we need to pump into the flood lights to send the Morse code? Will the laser beams carrying the invitation reflect off their ships and burn the eyes of us Earthbound witnesses to the event? Do we even have the technology to send a message in a bottle to the other side of the wormhole where the spacelings are waiting?

I think it would be rude to expect reasoned replies to such a thought experiment when many, many of the need-to-know details have been intentionally withheld by the creator of the fiction.

[...] and do you support my "moment skyward" notion being added to the opening ceremonies?


And just as I suspected, this thread was created as an opening gambit in a dishonest effort to pursue a hidden agenda. Well now that the jig is up, here's how it works on Earth where the respondents to this thread come from: That strategy is called lying. And it's not a good way to approach a discussion if one is looking for reasoned intelligent discourse.

As to supporting it, it seems I completely missed the part where anyone showed (a) that there are actually any aliens to invite, and (b) where there was any explanation of the methods of communication that those alleged aliens might understand. At the very least.
 
Gods?

They were actually demons. The gods were never real. Only the demons. Gods were invented to keep people as cattle, as masks, a deception. Only the demons from outer space are real.

And KotA wants them back. He's eager to fulfill his role as slave and food. I say we should stock nukes to shove at their motherships.

Governments of the world are indeed aware of the dangers and are trying to mount defenses and keep the population calm. Imagine the panic if they knew the truth. Jesus as an anthropophagic alien avatar...

UFO sheeple are the brainwashed vanguard of the aliens.

Nothing I've asked for or of you has been dishonest or hidden.

I have repeatedly asked you to either take part in the intended discussion, or GO AWAY.

If you continue with your present course, you'll go back on my ignore list.

It doesn't matter,we can still read your posts and burst a gusset laughing.
 
Demons don't scare me.

Living under watchmen who refuse to make global contact, however, seems like something I'd like to remedy.

Yeah... The cattle is anxious for the farmer's return. Eager to take a ride in their trucks. Farmers also have not too much interest in contacting cattle by the way.

Yeah... Your skygods will take you straight towards their slaughterhouse.

Yeah... Watchmen are also used to keep people from leaving prisions. And they quite often make no contatcts with the prisioners.
 
I've got the glasses. Anyone want a pair? $5.
Uh-uh. Nope. I remember what happened to Rowdy Roddy Piper. :nope:

Floods, great quakes, asteriod, whatever...
You know, the dinosaurs didn't survive the asteroid crash and yet we have a lot of evidence of their existence. Where's anything to show that your putative "advanced civilization" was ever there?
 
Maybe this will encourage those limey bastards to build a much more efficient public transportation system...

*Please support adding "a moment skyward" to the opening ceremonies:

How about a moment of navel gazing. While we stare at our navel we can meditate on the joys of MotherHood and how grateful we are that our mothers didn't strangle us in the womb with a rusty wire coat hanger.

Don't you know that aliens look upon a direct stare as the deadliest of insults?

You're asking for the equivalent of a declaration of war with an unknown enemy with unknown weapons. Are you an alien agent-provocateur?
