Stupid Crop Circles stole my character!

Post by Rkolter »

Ok, they probably claimed him first, but many people who believe or investigate crop circles hear stories (or have seen) strange Balls of Light, known as 'BOLs' around crop circles.

They stole my character, ABOL, whose name means A Ball of Light!

Grrr...

Oh. I was being too clever.

I always assumed it stood for Amorphous Ball Of Light instead.

I'm sure RC said it was "Amorphous" early on...

I saw an episode once. Or was that "I had an episode once"?

No idea, but I have a pretty good plan to dupe people into thinking that extraterrestrial intelligences spend time pushing over wheat stalks.

I think this calls for some experimentation.

Try calling a bunch of tv lawyers and see which ones will take the case.

Yes, and hope they have psychic powers or they'll never get in contact with the aliens.

the important question is, would you really want to have anything to do with any group which had a wheat fetish?

Has nobody seen that home movie where three or four balls of light hover around a field and create crop circles right there on camera? It looked pretty cool, and it would have been a lot more awesome if it hadn't been sent to the press by a guy who works in the special effects industry.

I'm never going to have bread again. I'm going to have to grow my own wheat now.
