Cattle mutilations are up again
2023-08-11 16:21:32
Six cattle died mysteriously in Texas, with their tongues removed, the hide around one side of their mouths gone and no blood spilled. In two cases, the animals' genitalia and anuses had been removed with a circular cut that the sheriff's office said had been made with the "same precision as the cuts noted around the jaw lines of each cow." This is obviously the work of aliens from another planet.
Cow anuses, tongues, and sex organs are highly-prized alien trophies. They are the alien equivalent of an "I [heart] NY" T-shirt that your cousin from Iowa picked up during her memorable visit to Albany. The one she wears while tearfully recalling the moonlit night standing on the Collar City Bridge staring down at the Hudson River, telling you that this was a peak moment in her life, never to be surpassed.
Aliens are weird that way. They can't get enough of the penises, anuses and tongues. They show them off to their Uncle Glorp and Aunt Xenyzaitalia and say "I made it to Earth! I MADE IT! Look at these COW PARTS I collected when I was there! Aren't they MAGNIFICENT! I AM SOMEBODY! Woo hoo! Look at me everybody! Who's got cow parts? I GOT COW PARTS!"

Aliens are also notoriously cheap bastards. All of these cow parts are available inexpensively in bulk any slaughterhouse in America, but they'll kill a cow and take just the parts they're interested in before spending one sliver of latinum.
Damn ay-leens.

It’s election night. My wife and I are holed-up in this hotel that my political party has rented out for the evening. Outside, people are being violently beaten for whom they voted for. Is this South Africa? Perhaps we’re in Haiti or some Southern state during the 60’s. Of all the places where this sort of thing happens, it’s mind-boggling that we are in Portland, Maine. (More...)

Spock Went, Spock Wrote, Spock Kicked Ass
Every Labor Day weekend a large portion of the PDJ staff joins 30,000 other freaks at one of the biggest and strangest art festivals in the world - Burning Man - somewhere on the edge of the Black Rock Desert.

This year, we hauled up our computers, printers and a massive digital duplicator, determined to become Black Rock City's third daily newspaper. Even Spock was surprised by our success - news will never be viewed the same on the playa. Read all seven issues of the 2002 Spock Science Monitor for yourself and see why. (More...)
