Not all of them.

Yea, but I was watching a tv show and all the aliens were shiny. What's up with that?

They're not.

Yea, I know. But televisions perception of them is shiny clothing and go go boots and shit. It's...annoying.

They also portray them as Humanoid. And beings from a distant galaxy would have evolved past such shapes.

Exactly! I'm under the impression that if they're here, and I don't know why they'd be interested in us, we wouldn't know.

...That is so, so right!

*eyes you* It is? I'm...never right.

...Well. Think about it. Think about how far away the nearest galaxy is. And think about how long that it would take to get there. And these aliens cross it like it's nothing because they have such advanced technology. We wouldn't have a chance in hell if they wanted to hurt us!

*scratches head* You're right I suppose. But, why? What would they gain? If they're so much smarter than us what are they going to gain by destroying us? What do we have that they need?

I'm sure most of them don't care. Live and let live. But it could be good for tourism and slave labor.

*laughs* Slave labor! Make sure we tell them not to invade America! We'd rather die.

I thought the stereotype was - small, gray, big head, huge eyes?

Well, not the girly ones. They're all go go boots and short skirts and bubbly and shiny.

Oh. Where have you seen those?

On TV...which means that's the medias interpretation which means that's what most people think.

Now that's a bold assumption.

Yea. Exactly. I don't get it either. I was under the impression that if aliens were here we wouldn't know.

So was I ...
Also, I wouldn't expect a TV show of all things to tell the truth.

Me neither. That's why I don't watch a lot.

Seems like a wise decision!

I play video games sometimes with my daughter. But I don't really like them. I'm more of a writer, painter, drawer type.

I can understand. Creating things yourself is much more satisfying.
And what do you write, paint or draw?

Well, just stuff really. I'm a professional photographer so that's what I do in my free time to kind of unwind.

I see ... creative all the time, huh?

*laughs* Unless I'm tired.

......

Well, yes. And then we have you. But not that type of shiny. Shiny clothes and go go boots and crap.

...I don't need to wear shiny clothes, though.

I know. But for some reason others think humanized aliens do.

They could be copying me?

Yea, I guess. But, with clothes, which you don't wear. You're naturally shiny. Well, not naturally, but...you know what I mean.

Yes... but all they have to use is clothing. Is it metal or shiny on its own?

Yea. It's made of this...nylon type stuff with metal thread in it. It's very cheap looking.

...who are these people?

Models, mostly. With the stylists thinking...well, I don't know what they're thinking. It's stupid.

Model aliens...? Where?

No no no. Human models dressing up like aliens.

Oh.

More likely that they might be copying me, then.

But hey, that's a good thing, right? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery or whatever?

I didn't say it wasn't a good thing.

Because it's fun?
