Vacation in Roswell

Post by Ice Cream Jonsey »

Actually, we're going to be exploring much of New Mexico, but spending a whole day in Roswell will be (for me) the HIGHLIGHT of the trip.

I love aliens. I am going to buy the biggest inflatable grey I can find Roswell and seat belt him into my car for the forseeable future. I am going to buy all the cheap plastic alien lifeform crap I can get my hands on. The trip to end all trips!

I will post pics.

Additionally, here's what I learned about the Trinity test site: it's open two days a year. That's right, two days, in April and October. I am amazed by civilization's ability to create lengthy lines / queues where there needn't be. BY FREAKING DEFINITION, the Trinity site is in the middle of nowhere and you should absolutely be able to see it in quiet and solace... and they are having crowds show up there and swarm it.

I read some thing that said that you might be able to get in as part of a tour, but to get into it you're getting into a 170 mile round trip on a bus. I'd sooner chew off my own testicles than take public transportation for 170 miles.

Anyway. As text boy (TM) I would have loved to have seen the Trinity site, but I don't think it's going to happen. Here's Q and A for a quick session.

Q: Hello, A! How's it hanging, brother?
A: They are hanging WELL MY FRIEND!

Q: A, why doesn't Jones just "crash" the Trinity site?
A: Beats me, Q! The only reason I can think of is because they have obviously shown that they are not kidding about just DROPPING A NUKE there and that tends to make people a little gunshy about testing them. It's very difficult to try to get into some sort of metaphoric stare down with people who have proven that they have no qualms about just nuking the shit out of their "base."

Thanks, guys. That's essentially it.

Did I promise pictures? Pictures comin'! Of Roswell and Santa Fe, sure, but pics nonetheless.

This all begs the question: when are you going?

What are the advantages of visiting a (nuclear)test site?

and

Will you be bringing back positive proof of the alleged 1947 UFO crash?

Should I post some ET porn, so you'll know what to watch out for? Hate for you kids to get some fucking Vulcan Dick Drip after double teaming something.
Good point Bobby!

I hope you played the Pixies' "Motorway to Roswell" at least once on this trip.

Well, an Infocom game was developed around it. I don't know. It just seemed interesting. But they really don't want visitors there.

I got a shitload of stuff back. Does it prove it?

Does... anything?

A lot of the women there were built the same: busty, tallish Latinas. So there's lots of them there if you're into that sort of thing.

I guess it would be a nice place to give your prostate a tan.


I mean photos that the Gov't does not want us to see, not those tall green alien drink cups like they have a Darien Lake.

Body parts in formal-di-hyde that are not from around there, millions of miles away from being around there.

chunks of strange material that have no origins on this planet, preferrably with weird markings on them.

Stuff like that.

REAL DEAL

Ja get a copy of that autopsy video?

No, nor did we play Hypocrisy's 'Roswell 47', which I actually do have a copy of.

I did get a tan, sort of, but not there.

I think that I have at least one photograph that the government, if not all people, would rather be unseen. I've got to second-draft my article tomorrow night and post it. Hopefully, it will be obvious.

The more I think about it, the more I think that the flight was probably unmanned. I am willing to state that I BELIEVE that an alien craft crashed in New Mexico in 1947. I am not ready to say that I believe that alien corpses were found. I think it's suspicious that people died... oh hell, I will just sum up my take on the whole thing in this thread tomorrow. Unfortunately, Roswell has become polluted by various media over the years. I don't want to add to the mess or anything, but then again it's not like this place is as busy as the front page of Fark.com.

When I studied in Mexico, I visited the town of Tepoztlan, the pyramids of which the locals were sure were frequented by ufo's on a regular basis. Of couse, majic mushrooms grew plentifully in the area so who knows.

I think there was an enormous South American door at the exhibit that showed that sort of thing. I took a picture of something resembling that because I couldn't comprehend it in real time. I'll try to upload the picture.
