Oh, that’s a loony tune…..

Having lived on a lakeshore for a summer in Maine long ago, I can attest that they do sound weird.

Loon isn’t an alien. He’s just a little “different.”

I’m not sure about aliens, but I’m pretty sure I’ve encountered a few Neanderthals.

Here in California definitely.

Look here at the red light…

It’s almost lake season where I live and it won’t be long before we’re crawling with them

Based on what evidence, Cosmo?

Probably.

I’m not worried about aliens,it’s some of the natives that concern me.

And they scoop up half the Nobels.

Up on the hill where they do the boogie

(Do-do-do-do-do-do-do the boogie)

I wonder what they’re doin’ when they do-do the boogie

And I wonder what I’m doin’ here

Also looking across the counter is another possibility ! ! !

It’s Cosmo! He transported a coffee mug right into his hands!

I was working with a lot of aliens today – about half the office wasn’t born in the country and are not citizens so meet one of the definitions of an “alien”

Cosmo and Roz are of one accord.

the way that the locals stare at me, they appear to believe that i’m an alien… ☺
