Sen. John Glenn Reveals the Truth about UFOs
2001-03-10 01:38:37
"Back in those glory days, I was very uncomfortable when they asked us to say things we didn't want to say and deny other things. Some people asked, you know, were you alone out there? We never gave the real answer, and yet we see things out there, strange things, but we know what we saw out there. And we couldn't really say anything. The bosses were really afraid of this, they were afraid of the War of the Worlds type stuff, and about panic in the streets. So, we had to keep quiet. And now we only see these things in our nightmares or maybe in the movies, and some of them are pretty close to being the truth." - Senator John Glenn on NBC Tuesday, March 6, 2001.
OK, so he was appearing on Frasier, and it IS a comedy show, and his soliloqy into the camera, talking about "strange things," was a part of the comedy that did ensue, causing much laughter in the house.
Does NBC know how to fuck with believers in ayleens or what? Give that network credit! That show must have SERIOUSLY messed with some people's heads.
(Internal viewer monologue follows.)
"It's John Glenn! He was in space! He knows the truth."
"Omigawd. He's TELLING the truth. On camera, on NATIONAL TV."
"No wait, maybe it's just part of a joke, this IS a comedy show."
"No wait, it doesn't appear to have anything to do with the rest of the show."
"He really WAS just talking on camera! He had a moment to reveal the TRUTH, and HE DID!"
"Oh. Waitasec. This show is taped. It's owned by a big corporate network and THEY'RE PART OF THE CONSPIRACY THAT'S HIDING THE TRUTH. If what he was saying was true, they would have just edited it out."
"Now wait, it appears to be part of the show."
"No! John Glenn managed to WORK THAT IN. The pressure must've been too much, and he's revealing the truth. He just knows that the hammer won't come down if he makes it LOOK like a joke."
"No wait, maybe this is part of the government's plan to GRADUALLY REVEAL THE TRUTH! Yeah, that's it. First they made Independence Day, and then they slip details of what's going on to Chris Carter so he can work it into X-Files plot lines, now John Glenn is letting out little details on a comedy show! It's brilliant. When the Whole Truth is finally revealed, it won't be such a shock to most people."
"No wait, maybe it's just part of a joke, this IS a comedy show. I've been immersed in alien conspiracies so long, it's impaired my sense of humor. I CAN see the joke here. This IS funny. Ha ha."
"But maybe it's not."
"Maybe he worked it in as a joke, but he knows it's the truth, and he knows that there are people out here like me who will know it's the truth."
"Maybe I'm the only one who knows that this is the truth."
"Maybe that message was meant especially for me."
"OK, that's crazy-talk now man. THAT WAS JUST A JOKE. IT'S A COMEDY SHOW, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE. LAUGH DAMMIT. LAUGH."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Paranoid Strippers & Psychotic Crack Dealers (Tales of Christmas Eve)
Christmas day, for the last 17 or so years has bored me. I find that the real fun and excitement always takes place on Christmas Eve. Every other year, it's the excitement of the metaphorical hunt instead of the kill. Otherwise, it's just plain bad craziness. (More...)

We've had a lot of Jesus coverage lately here at the PDJ. But let's face it, we're not exactly cutting-edge in this subject area. Jesus has been making headlines for, oh, I guess it's a couple thousand years now. Jesus is a very strong brand. Jesus has a lot of mindshare. (More...)
Poor Metallica. All they want is to continue to put out the same weak "Heavy Metal" they've been churning out since the "And Justice For All" days? and make gooey wads of cash in the process. The problem is, people aren't buying their bound for the heavy metal scrap heap, over-produced, uninspired, tired crap. And let's face it, their various commercial endorsements won't pay for the lifestyle they've become comfortably accustomed to. Resorting to lawsuits makes perfect sense, when you need spending money. But just one lawsuit isn't going to pay their bills. So, to aid Metallica, I've composed an open letter to the boys in the band, with suggestions as to whom else they might sic their lapdog lawyers on... (More...)

Clowns Take on God in Mysterious Annual Ceremony
Last Sunday's (the 6th) Grimaldi Service at a small church in East London was a red-letter day for clowns worldwide. About a hundred old-school red-nosed clowns made the sombre trip to darkest Dalston to pay their respects to clowns who died in the last year and to thank God for the gift of laughter in a bizarre ceremony presided over by the eccentric Reverend Clown Roly, resplendent in a garish red lumberjack shirt with oversized gold lapels.
