# BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME. Denver - Colorado cattle rancher Judy Messol-
ine has been OK'd to build a 10-foot-high observation tower on land near
Hooper CO. It's a UFO watchtower, designed to keep lookout for aliens.
The area is known for reports by locals of hovering lights & inexplicable
flying objects. "We need something different down here so maybe this is
it," Messoline said. "We're even going to have a landing pad for UFOs."
: Is encouraging UFOs to land in your neighborhood a good idea? What about
the property values? Do you want Grays or Reptoids living next door? Are
they there already? Have you built any UFO docking facilities lately? Why?

@ MEAN TREATS FOR CYNICS. For the cynics, alt.bitterness is the kind of
place where, in an emotional whim, you might spill your guts, but instead
of the usual "It'll be OK," you'll get "Shut the hell up and stop your
whining" or "You must've done something to deserve it." For the mean-
spirited, there are, in fact, a handful of bitterness-related newsgroups,
but this one seems to get right to the point. news:alt.bitterness
: Are you cynical, bitter, mind-controlled? Do you whine? Does your alien
implant make you whine? Do you make aliens whine? Are Reptilioids bitter?

had sex with aliens lately? Are aliens obscener than humans? Are they dry?

# Buddhist student feels burned by flame ban. U.Washington has a strict no-
burning policy in its dorms, which ruins Matt Zuwalt's prayer ritual - one
that involves burning incense and candles. "I have tried to go through the
right channels to get permission to do it, but they said it was a no-go,"
he says. Zuwalt's decided to break his dorm contract and bolt. BudaBuda:

: Does your belief system require you to burn things? Were your ever caught
setting fires? Have you ever torched yourself; members/structures of other
belief systems; animals; aliens? Are virtual flames sufficient? Are you hot?

@ If you're like me, you probably don't have nearly enough Book of
Mormon Figurines < http://www.lehi.com/ > around the house. The
vinyl ones < http://www.lehi.com/vin1.html > are particularly
suitable for dramatic tableaux in your office cubicle.
: Does your belief system market plastic models of important entities? Can
you ever have enough icons? Do you prefer Moroni, Darth Vader, GI Joe, me?
