Yes, I have finally reached near consciasness the morning aftar X day XI. I just finished my bacon here at the Holliday Eeeyinn and my fingars are responding to robotic commands from my breighn, which is just barely running on the caffeine I consumed.
What a blast.
There was evan a GENUINE UFO SIGHTING. Two orange balls floated gently ovar the bathhouse and slipped silently away in the distance, despite our calls for them to stop and pick us up. Nobody believed us that we had seen these things as the Amino Acids were just about to come on and their attentian was on the stage, not on the skies. I must say if this is a drill of some kind for the SubGenius, by our group reactian, we FAILED. Anything that evan LOOKS like a UFO must demand our 100% fixatian at all times.
Howevar this turned out to be false. Someone found these oil fueled floating hot air balloons, which must have lifted off a coupal hundred feet off the ground and floated away until the fuel ran out. If you hadn't seen them being launched, you'd certainly shit your pantz0rz as I did when I saw them float by. If it was oanly ONE of them, one could dismiss them as an aircraft, but TWO, seemingly in formatian, was hard to dismiss.
Or at least maybe that's what they WANT US TO BELIEVE. The lights I saw were prolly the REAL UFOs but the fakes were simply launced by the cognescenti to provide some PLAUSIBAL DENIABILATY.
Fuckars.
Ahh well, I must vacate this domacile pretty soon and take the SLOWEST possable fucking drive back to Cincinnati, Indiana, that anybody has evar seen. Just because I want to SAVOR that expensive gasoline.
A truly glorias X day full of camaradarie and scrappal.
Evan though I brought my new camara along, I realized that I toadally slacked off this year, so there won't be much if any YouTube vids from me. No, I decided I wanted simply to publish memories of X day XI on MeTube in full high defanitian on my internal hard drive.
Betcha in ten years it will be possable to extract those meatware recordings and broadcast them around teh intarwebs beddar than me trying to figure out the 1,875 diffarant settings on the complex recording instrumant which I brought along. That was part of the problem. It is a point and shoot camara BUT it allows you to set this and set that and...by the time I squint to see what the fuck I have set things to...the thing I wanted to record had gone away. I should have taken this thing out and made it my mastar BEFOAR X day.
But that would require planning and cunning. Too much like w*rk. So if you want to see what I saw this year, YOU WILL HAVE TO ASK ME AND I WILL DESCRIBE IT TO YOU.
What an ancient concept.

Damnation, then it was I who truly failed. Instead of keeping a laser-like focus on the floating fireballs, I stupidly had to inform Stang of it so that the occassion could be caught on film. As usual, Stang was just as robotic about denying the UFOs as he was about dutifully recorded them on tape. OR THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS US TO THINK. I think Stang is just in on the coverup, as he didn't deny them until the next day, likely after finding out that "Bob" judged us all as TEH FAIL and so this experiment must be denied as vociferously as possible.
Me, I sure couldn't identify the ember-looking flying spheres, so they remained UN-IDENTIFIED Flying Objects to me. But considering that their bright yellow glow resembled miniature suns, I bet dollars-to-donuts they were Heliopters dropping off the other Aminos for the show.
Or at least maybe that's what they WANT US TO BELIEVE. The lights I saw were prolly the REAL UFOs but the fakes were simply launced by the cognescenti to provide some PLAUSIBAL DENIABILATY. . Fuckars.
Exactly. Until I see evidence of these these supposed "hot air balloons", then I have to follow Occam's Razor and assume that these were alien intelligences from the vasty dark recesses of space.

Thank you so much for the information about Mail Order Scrapple, Mistar Sistar! If that was the only thing I learned at X-Day, it would still be enough to make X-Day the highlight of my year.
