"Sound of One Lobe Napping"

Vol. 4, #6 "Reach Out, Reach Out & Gouge Someone." July 1983
======================================================================
Exclusive Investigative Report:
L A W N C H A I R S O F T H E G O D S . . . .
Near the Sphinx, a great picnic table once stood -- but no more. At
hundreds of widely separate locations around the world, archaeologists
find tombs, temples and other sites, all littered with lawn chairs and
chaise lounges. Still, no one seems to be asking the most important
questions of all: why is lawn furniture found in nearly every
archaeological dig -- and where could it have come from?
An exhaustive, nearly two week long SLUG TALES investigative report
reveals that a conspiracy of silence seems to exist about these "ultra-modern"
"relics". Even more shocking is the inexorable conclusion that ancient lawn
furniture is, "unlike anything else seen in the archaeological literature"!
These assessments were provided by a respected researcher, Al Ewecaneet.
Dr. Ewecaneet further ejaculated, "I can hardly believe....that this could
have been found in an ancient culture.....it goes against all we know about
early civilizations."
Evidence from sites on seven continents adds up to a single conclusion:
this lawn furniture is far too advanced to be of Earthly Origin. Are
we really expected to believe that the Egyptian woman of the Second
Century BC obtained her Versa Lounge at the Cairo K-Mart? Did the Romans
in Britain obtain their lawn chairs at a Fourth Century Woolworth's?
To say the least, these explanations appear improbable. Those few with
open mind can only wonder as the evidence accumulates...
If many are asking question, some are beginning to offer answers. A former
Government Employee, one Philo Leaves, told SLUG TALES that he has long
suspected that the ancient lawn furniture is proof that Earth was visited
long ago by alien tourists. "I got the idea from this little old lady
on my route who used to read the K Mart junk mail like it was the New
(and improved?) Testament," said Mr. Leaves. "I used to tell her those
lawn chairs were either put there by UFO's or the Russians -- and she'd just
nod, weirdlike." Mr. Leaves observed further, "It was years later before I
realized that there weren't no Russians in Egypt in the Second Century BC."
He ends, cryptically: "It kind of makes you think, don't it?"
In researching this article we examined many journal articles, historical
photographs, old issues of "National Geographic" -- along with interviewing
literally several people involved in archaeological research. What we found
was beyond our wildest dreams: photos of Mayan priests preparing human
sacrifices in giant Weber Kettle barbecues, Greek philosophers portrayed with
lawn darts in hand in suppressed sculptures, Hindu Gods in paintings
retrieving Lost Souls from the chilly realms of Playmate Ice Chests! And
NONE of this is to be found in the textbooks and popular literature available
to the general public. Why?
Numerous calls to the archeology and anthropology faculties of the
University of Washington yielded only ridicule and unreturned calls. What do
they have to hide? What, indeed, do they HAVE to hide? Are THEY agents
of an Alien Elite come to picnic on my grave and yours? As a part of our
research, we obtained a sample of metal obtained from an Aztec tomb
in Mexico in 1936. We gave this fragment to Dr. Al Ewecaneet, who
subjected it to the most exacting and txtensive tests available at his
laboratory at Yakima Valley Community College. Dr. Ewecaneet concluded
the fragment was "unlike anything" he'd seen in 40 years of research
and identification of relics and artifacts. "It appears to be a piece
of a TV dinner tray," noted Dr. Ewecaneet, "although that seems almost
impossible.
Impossible -- unless you accept that Earth was once routinely visited
by a Planet-Hopping Middle Class from Beyond The Stars. Piece by Piece
the case falls into place that We Are Not Alone. Ask respected scientists
if Shuttle Astronauts are the first creatures to suck freeze-dried fruit
out of plastic tubes in the outer atmosphere. To a person, they'll say,
"Yup, you bet." But their rationalizations pale in the face of the evidence
of the Ancient Lawn Chairs of The Gods.

ASK MR. JIM BOB
Advice for the Socially Inept....
Dear Mr. Jim Bob:
I am the mother of a sixteen year old boy, Rod (not his real name). The
problem is that Rod has got this fool notion that when he grows up he
wants to be an Elvis Impersonator. All day long he stand in front of the
mirror, curling his lip and singing "Love Me Tender" so far out of tune
we're afraid our cat might commit suicide. I hate to discourage the
boy from something he so obviously wants, but yesterday he went over the
line. Rod came home from school, ate a deep-fried peanut butter
and banana sandwich (Elvis' favorite snack) and had a fit when I wouldn't
sign the Release for him to get plastic surgery to better resemble Elvis.
Please help me: I want to be supportive of Rod, and I don't want to be
a nag. - Confused Mom, Dogsbreath, NM
Dear Confused Mom:
I've been asked this question many times over the years. You should take
comfort in the knowledge that many parents face this problem every year as
their children as mysteriously drawn to the Legend that is Elvis. However,
you should also share the following Facts with your son Rod:
- A recent survey of Elvis Imitators revealed that 68% wished
they had gone to college or become hairdressers
- Plastic surgery is not without risks: one Elvis Imitator who
went under the blade has recently been reduced to accepting
work as an Elephant Man Imitator
- Sociologists tell us that being an Elvis Imitator ranks Low
on the Social Desirability Scale for occupations, consistently
below "washroom attendent" and "pornographer".
- Within a mere 30 years, fewer than 10% of Americans will ever
have seen Elvis live. Experts say this will mean the end of
the Elvis Imitator as we know him today.
- There are currently 18,000 Elvis Imitators in the US.
Competition is making it mandatory that Imitators specialize
( with pre-, mid-, and full-paunch being the most common
specialties).
- Psychologists report that Elvis Imitators have an astronomical
rate of developing severe mental problems. The Napoleon's of
yesterday's mental institutions are the Elvis's of today. One
physician working in a ward for the Seriously Disturbed reports
that Elvis Delusions are so common that the staff slang for
working in the unit is to be "In the Ghetto".
I don't expect that you will find this information comforting. But I
do urge you to share it with your son and to encourage him to consider
an alternate career. - Mr. Jim Bob

"All Facts...No Fluff...You Bet..."
...Organic Patination...That's what the builder in charge of the restoration
of Texas A & M's Academic Building calls it. In plain English, this
translates to spraying cow manure on the walls of the building. The acid
in the manure accelerate the aging process, making the new work match the
older portions of the building. Vice Chancellor Wesley Peel said he, "he
couldn't believe it" when he found out about the process, and he reacted
defensively to questions from reporters. "Look," he said, "This is getting
out of hand." "Patination iis an accepted process. "It's no joke." ("Seattle
Times", 6/12).... Putting it in Perspective....."He's no worse than any
other rapist," was the way Maureen Saylor, Director of Western State
Hospital's Sexual Offender Program, described an escapee from the Program.
(Seattle Times, 6/12)....PRODUCT UPDATES....Last time we told you about The
Official Shopping Bag of the 1984 Summer Olympics. This time it's the Brother
EM-200, advertised as, "The Official Typewriter of the Los Angeles 1984
Olympic Games." (NY Times, 6/12)....Yes, No, and Maybe.... There are three
types of Monsters, according to Daniel Cohen, a self-described "crypto-
zoologist." Meeting at New York University, the International Society
of Cryptozoologist recently discussed such earthshaking topics as, "Is
There a Giant Octopus?" and "Searching for the Mokele-Mbembe." Crypto-
zoology is the study of "hidden monsters", which include s so-called "Yes
Monsters" (e.g. gorillas), "Maybe Monsters" (e.g. the Lock Ness Monster),
and "No Monsters" (e.g. vampires). (NY Times, 6/12)....The CIA's Secret
Weapon....A pedestrian walking by a house in Washington, DC recently noticed
somethiing strange about the dogs behind the gates. It turns out that the
house is a "safe house" where the CIA protects informers and agents. The
Clue that something was Different: the dogs were wearing headphones
attached to radio transmitters which are capable of receiving commands
for the dogs to attack, etc. (NY Times, 6/9).....
