Signs

“I just say the movie Signs today with Mel Gibson in it...I wont ruin it but for those of you whove seen it what do you all think? Have anyone seen a crop circle or UFOs out in the boonies?”

“I hope you dont actually believe that crop circles are the work of et.... several persons have in fact confessed and even demonstrated how they made them.”

“i didnt say i believed it...i was just wondering if anyone had seen em personally”

“I was by a campground, trees everywhere, and I needed to get my GPS ready to roll for geocaching there. It was a county park. The trees were blocking reception.

LO AND BEHOLD, I could see a path leading to an oatfield, just beyond the trees. I followed it, squeezed through the weeds at the break in the trees.

AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY IN A CROP CIRCLE! EGADS!!! The oats were flattened in a circle probably 15 feet across.

AND THEN TO MAKE IT WORSE... a small plan flew over. And I figured someone would report me to local officials!! (or maybe it was the [creatures] keeping track of who had seen it.

I beelined it outta there, GPS working. BUT I WAS SO BADLY SHAKEN BY WHAT I'D SEEN.










snicker.... snicker ;-)”

“plan=plane”

“I saw some once while living in Ireland. Freaky looking things, I remebered thinking when I was a kid. Now, I think it's creepy that someone would go to such trouble to get some attention.”

“Just yesterday, a radio talk show had a "crop circle" researcher talk about them. Seems like the "circles" have been around over 70 years....if I remember correctly, it could be over hundreds of years. Some circles cannot be seen from the road...only the farmer and/or locals would know of them...they were not done for monetary gain.

Some researchers have placed compasses in the center of those circles. The compass would spin or deviate constantly. Plus some of their watches would stop.

The guest on the talk show said that one of his colleague was doing research in a Scottish farm...as she was interviewing the farming family...a bright beam of light shone down from the sky 30 feet away and the crops were all flattened. It all happened in less than 10 seconds. Naturally, she and her team raced to the scene...it was very warm and steam was raising from the circle. Btw, there were other accounts of these circles being formed in under 10 seconds. Freaky. The researcher gave out his website...www.geocity.cropcircles/qc/ca if I remember correctly.”

“Got it...it's www.geocities.com/cropcirclecanada/”

“Crop circles must piss off farmers cause that is some of their income being flattened out.
B@stard UFO's!!!!”

“me and miss opie went to see signs..AWESOME CLICK...if you go see it..make sure you sit REAL close to the screen!!

Miss opie was leaving my place the other day...it was dark...SHE SCREAMED like she was dying...turns out...the neighbors mini dish hanging from their balcony looked like an Alien ready to pounce on her..

oh yea..i promised not to post this on tt...so don't read this!”

“LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“*stands with hands on hips* someone's in trouble!”

“I understand Miss Opie. After I saw that movie, I've been scared for 2 wks. Some parts are so intensely freaky.”

“my daughter just saw it (ive already seen it)
and i tried to explain to her why i thought the part with the tin foil hat was the best, but she just didnt get it.

the best part was when they were watching the birthday party and it walked by. i did scream ”

“Yeah, that freaked the hell outta' me too.”

“you know whats funny is that when i was a little girl going to school in PA we were taught all about the crop circles.
and i remember finding out that they were fake wehn i was an adult”

“the crop circles are fake?? i don't believe it! i'm putting my hands over my ears now, la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
;-)

anyhoo, this sounds like a good movie, except for the part about Mel "Totally Sucks" Gibson being in it. i loooove scary movies! maybe i'll have to check-it-check-it out.”

“I heard that about 80% are man made and the other 20% have actually had cellular level changes in the plants involved in the circle. Skeery. Lyra, you hate Mel-baby? Why?”

“oh, yay! so there is hope. thanks, newgirl. i don't know why i don't like him, really. well, IMHO, he can't act his way out of a paper bag, for one thing. i don't see the "hotness" everyone else does, either, although like you, i can totally appreciate hotness in older dudes.”

“the only movie i liked with him in it is Leathal Weapon..
nice buns!!”

“What do YOU think about these cyrcles?”

“I must not know enough about acting. I think he's really good. I agree that he's not a babe though. His MT ranch is just a little ways from my Great Grandma's ranch. My aunt sometimes helps brand his cattle.”

“oh, i don't know anything about acting either, don't listen to me. your aunt brands his cattle? wild! i don't know why, but that phrase just strikes me as absolutely hilarious :-)”

“Anywhere outside of MT or WY that phrase sounds hilarious Lyra. You aren't crazy.”

“just because we don't agree about Mel's acting "capability" is no need to be getting nasty, newgirl.
;-)”

“I apologize. I forgot about the part where you date Tarprific. You are crazy. (Just not about thinking that phrase was funny.)”

“now, that's more like it.

and speaking of movies, i tried to get Repo Man over the weekend, but it was rented out, so i got 10 Things I Hate About You. that usually wouldn't be my type of movie, but since it's based on The Taming of the Shrew, i thought i should get it for posterity's sake. you should have heard Tarpy harping about that one, LOL! he kept saying, "Are they going to do it yet?" and fast-forwarding it. hahahahaha!! i have to admit, it wasn't the breast movie ever.”

“I'm not a fan of that movie either. Dumb. That would be my word for it. My mom, on the other hand, thinks it's great.”

“would Brad Pitt count as a cutie?”

“Yeah. If you are alive. Duh!”

“I was going to see Signs this weekend...but the cinema's air conditioning was broken. So I saw Pluto Nash instead...movie sucked. I only saw it because I did some "extra" work for that movie...didn't see myself though.”

“It is prolly wher the cows ate the grass but not the nother grass.

I was on the porch the nother day and seen wher the cows was eetin grass. Some cows ate some grass and nother cows ate nother grass. When they was done with ther snak, it looked like a SKEERY WOOF BARE sine on the grass!”

“Good point Sarabelle. I think your keen observations may be the closest to the truth yet.”

“Anyone who thinks that all crop circles are the product of hoaxsters should read The Crop Circular.

There are big differences between a "real" crop circle (whatever that is) and a hoaxed one.”

“Two scenes where I jumped...the part where the little girl was giving water to their German Shepard...he stood up and growled/barked real loud. And the part where Mel Gibson was sticking the knife under the door and the green claw shot out. I think half the audience screamed at those scenes. Cool film....could've made the ending of the invasion a bit more dramatic.”
