Spottin Aliens
  by Bob Grubb

 

Ya know that Jo Jo Rollings chick
what writes them Harry Potter movies
they made into books
is pretty dayam hot...

I can't read the Potter books
cause I lose focus
daydreamin about me and Jo Jo
and I'm bein all smooth with lines like
"do ya have any Harry Potter in ya?"
and she'd be all
"don't make me turn you into a frog"
or some shit like that
and I'd be all "Jo Jo, that's way too kinky even for me"
but anyways this aint about Jo Jo's overactive imagination
this is about spottin aliens...


I brings up the Harry Potter books
when I'm sposed to be talkin bout spottin aliens
cause its the same kinda stuff
the Muddles or whatever they're called
ordinary citizens like you and me
surrounded by aliens from another planet...
cept stead of writin bout martians
Jo Jo writes about magical people
but everything she writes
about the magical people
can be applied to aliens...

magical people
what are always up to somethin
just like the real life aliens
they stand for
 
oh yeah, they look as human as anyone else
but watch what they're they up to
stuff what don't even begin to make sense
unless you just left Uranus yer own dayam self...

like decidin what alien clan yer gonna be allfillyated with
by a talkin hat tellin you where to get off
the alien version of pickin yer name out of a hat
well ya may as well be pickin yer future alma matter outta yer ass...

and that aint the only weird shit aliens do what no one human does
did you ever go shoppin fer a freekin wand fer cripes sake
and how often do ya has to aks
"is that a freekin owl in yer pocket
or are ya just gettin a call on yer cellphone?"
but enough about Potter and the Purple Freekin People Eaters...

you can't spot an alien by the way they look
cause they looks just like you and me
unless it was like that movie
where this guy all comes into town
only it aint really a town
it's a bigass city
and he's lookin for werk
just like everyone else
down at the shanty town
where all the homeless people gather
and mill about the way they do in the movies
but even in the crowd
you can pick the star out
cause he's a got a mullet
and at first you think
that thats why the movie's callt
'They Live'...

but it turns out instead that "They"
 
are freekin aliens
not guys who wear mullets
anyways this guy finds a pair of sunglasses
and when he puts them on everything goes from color to black and white
  so where there used to be
three Swedish chicks on a billboard
doin things to a beer bottle
what makes ya just wanna
run out, pick up a case
of whatever they're havin,
go home, stand in front of a mirror
and enter yerself into a self-induced wet tshirt contest...

anyways
instead of three chicks and a bottle
the billboard is now all white with

giant black letters what say OBEY
so he looks around
and all the signs are just blank
with one word on em
like SLEEP or SUBMIT
I ferget all the details
cause I'd had a couple
too many beers
or a dozen
but I think
one of the billboards said
SWEDISH CHICKS
REPORT TO THE BREWERY...

 

so he's lookin around
with these sunglasses
and suddenly this guy bumps into him
and so he looks at the guy
and sees it aint really a guy at all
its some sorta decomposing alien
with perspiration the consistency of snot
all over what mightausedabeen his forehead...

and the alien see's the good guy is starin at him
so he's all "what are you lookin at"
and the mullet-o says somethin like
"I'm lookin at about the most gawd awful *BEEP* ugly
son of a *BEEP* mother*BEEP*
what the *BEEP* are you sposed to *BEEP*in be
cause you sure as *BEEP* look like the gawd*BEEP*
*BEEP*in booger man"...

obviously the snothead's a *BEEP*in pussy
cause he gets into his car and drives off
so now, Mr. Mullett can't believe his eyes
and he takes the glasses off
and all the sudden
even the cops look human...

the boogerhead knows the mullethead
could tell he was a slimey alien
so the next thing ya know he's
talkin into his watch all "See-er spotted"...

and now here comes the cops
and all of em are freekin aliens
chasin after this guy
and he runs into a crowded bank
with this big ass gun
everyone starts screaming
and fallin on the floor
and he says
"I have come here
to chew bubblegum and kick ass
and I'm all out of bubblegum"
 
  and starts blowin away aliens
left and right
and everytime he shoots one
ya see their boogers get spattered all over the walls
cause it's an R-Rated movie...

Ya know, I trained to be a writer
but I shoulda been a genius
cause if I hadda been
I'da made a gazillion pairs of them glasses
and saved myself a hell of a lot of typin...


aliens are all over the place
they've established bases what infiltrate
every nieghboorhood west of the atlantic
Wal-mars, K-mars, KFC, to name just a few
countless illegal aliens lookin all just like you and I
stalkin around pretendin to be human
and turnin real humans into space zombies prolly...

seein as the glasses thing aint gonnna happen
 
ya has to spot them by the stuff they do what don't make any freekin sense at all...

for instants
spose where you werk
someone's tellin yer boss it's quittin time
and every day she's always all "I forgot"
well yeah she fergot
cause she's a freekin alien...

and she never takes a freekin vacation
well there you have it
humans don't just take a damn vacation
they demand it
humans are just like that
all humans
hell even the freekin Spanish
know when it's time
to get away from it all...

say you call a pizza joint
and they answer the phone
and they're all 5 minutes of
"would you like to try our special
5 large deep dish pizzas
with a minimum of 7 toppins each
and yer choice of either
a five pound box of asparagused bread
or 101 deep fried cheese puffs
and 24 liters of coke for only 89.99 today?"
there's a damn good likelyhood
ya has an alien on the line
cause humans know that people callin in orders
already freekin know what they want...

so yer like no ya don't wanna try a dayam thing you di'n't call up for
and that yer lookin for somethin a lil less
involved...

so they interupt you aksin you to hold
why
so they can dial up their alien overlord on the other line
  to aks what to do when the caller don't say yes
to the "would you like to try to actually eat
all this stuff?" thing
and Ms. Zargon or whatever the hell his boss's name is
who never takes a freekin vacation
is all "did you learn nothin at the academy?"
and the pizza guy's all "wut"
so Ms. Zargon rolls all six of her eyes and says
"if they don't take the special
then send someone over with their order
to check em out
cause obviously they aint zombies yet
just what the hell do you think we're runnin this pizza shop for anyways"...

so this is where you can have some fun with em
when the pizza guy comes back on the phone
suddenly interested in yer freekin order
yer on to em
cause of the hold thing
and yer like "I want a large thin crust
with extra crust no make that
a small no medium no well k
just make it a large but no thin crust
with mushrooms on one side
and it has to be the left side
and sausage and green peppers on the other side
but not the right - I mean underneath
and I wanna come pick it up how soon can you be here?"
they gets so confused
that when they show up
at yer front door
checkin out yer zomboildelasticity
under the pretext
of deliverin a freekin pizza
they're too dazed to check you out
they just open up the pouch thing
lookin all confused like which
of the one pizza in this
freekin pouch thing is yers?
and ya gives em the money and they stumble off all "where am I"
and yer stuck with a freekin pizza
that aint even close to yer order
but ya sure as hell aint gonna call up and complain
cause ya don't wanna go thru the whole
"do you wanna try all this freekin stuff" thing again...

what's almost just as important as knowin how to spot aliens
is knowin how to spot the humans
what the aliens has successfully turnt into space zombies
just knowin they're called space zombies
goes a long way toward makin a positive identification
cause these are spaced out people what move like zombies...

  they're the ones givin you onions
on yer double cheeseburger mustard-only
drive thru order what ya don't discover
till yer 5 freekin miles from the BurgerKink
and you storm into the main lobby
cause you'll be dayamed if yer gonna sit
in that freekin car line again
and they're all "I thought you said mustard-onions"
so you get yer freekin double cheeseburger
and peel out of the parking lot
all wound up tight and ready to enjoy yer fuckin space zombie-made lunch
and then ya open it up and it's onions only...

they could be yer freekin ex in-laws
so there you are
cause yer ex used to make you go over there
and one of em says
"I has no idea what I wants to eat
so I'm gonna call the pizza place
to see what they suggest"
and all the others think that's a good plan...

yer waiting fer em to get their freekin gas
so you can pull up to the pump
while they're lookin all around dazed
wavin the freekin hose around
wonderin where the voice is coming from
what's tellin them they has to come inside to pay
like it's a freekin miracle or some shit like that...

and they drives around in them cars
with the boom booom boom bass thing goin on
shoutin into their cellphones all "can you hear me now?"
and it's like geezus freekin crispies
I could hear you
when you were 10 miles up the road ya lil space zombie twit
and what's up with the freekin ball cap...

or yer boss calls you into her office like its crisis management time
and aks you for lunch ideas
which can be taken a lotta ways but ya know ya sure as hell
aint gonna give yer boss a raise
so yer like
"why don't you call the pizza place
and see what they suggest"
and she thinks that's a great idea
so yer like thank gawd she wasn't aksin fer sex
cause herassment's
every freekin where you look
and gettin bigger everyday...

I could tell you stories what would
scare the piss out of an armadillo
but I don't have to
just think about Harry Potter
even if ya aint read it
and run down to the Super Walmars
and rent that movie 'They Live' and watch it
and *then* you tell me
the freekin aliens aint takin over.
