The Extraterrestrial and Mutilated Soybean Hybridization Program in Iowa
After watching a number of TV shows about extraterrestrials (ETs), I had this vivid dream about ETs invading Iowa. Apparently, I had somehow driven out on some highway that was not clearly marked, maybe Highway 20 which the National Weather Service always mentions as a sort of boundary line between a howling, disastrous tornadimohurricannibalistic storm…

Upcoming Svengoolie Movie: “Flight 7500”!
The upcoming Svengoolie movie this coming Saturday is “Flight 7500.” It reminds me of one of our vacation trips when Sena asked for an extra bag of peanuts from the attendant, who promised she would return with another bag—and never did.

Spotting Venus in the Eastern Sky
I was watching a television show last night about UFOs and had to chuckle about some of the segments in which there was a lot of speculation about underground and underwater bases where extraterrestrials typically are thought to hide from us while they work on whatever it is they work on. There was the usual…

Svengoolie Movie: “Invaders from Mars” and Zippers are Large!
I watched the Svengoolie movie “Invaders from Mars” last night. I saw this 1953 science fiction film last year but didn’t notice the extraterrestrials wore pretty obvious green velour body suits which zipped up the back. Anyway, the movie was directed by William Cameron Menzies and starred Jimmy Hunt as the boy, David MacLean, who…
