Well, They're not Gonna Build Themselves
"AMCGLTD," we hear you ask, "the grays never offer me a ride... they just show off all the shiny bits, stick a few things up my rear, and then drop me off without so much as a 'fair-thee-well'. I want to see the universe! What can I do?"
Fear not, gentle probe victim, AMCGLTD is here to help! Presenting How to Build a UFO, your one-stop-shop for everything unidentified and flying. From creating the shell to special weapons and propulsion, it's got everything a budding intergalactic explorer needs to pester remote farmers and credulous new-agers. Don't delay! The next probe you stop could be your own!
I can't wait to see the requests you get on this post.
Let's see if I can guess some of it first.
"are ufo real"
"They're real! I was abducted by one! I have details posted at my blog, <carefully constructed link to online cas!no site that defeats spam filters>"
Followed by at least a dozen jokes about spam links and anal probes, including at least one extremely disturbing story from Ellen or Pat. These sadly are lost among posts from what seem to be every "X-Files" fan on the face of the planet, sharing abduction stories and starting flame wars with anyone who has actually researched UFOs.
Finally, about six months after people finally quit posting to the thread, we'll get "plz tell me how to build a ufo" repeated for at least five screen lengths.
But dude... that's the POINT. We started this thing to piss friends, family, and acquaintances off. That it's become flypaper to various twirling moonbats and assorted loons is just a bonus. A weird, somewhat scary bonus, but still...
