Description

Aliens Land in Bournemouth! In a holiday town on the south coast of England, it is thought that the first aliens ever to visit that area landed last night. This reporter spoke with an unnamed but trusted source, and has discovered that the aliens, who resemble nothing so much as barley-sugar twists, floated out of their UFO and landed on the street and began dancing in front of stunned spectators. "I couldn't believe what I was seeing," said one holiday maker. "At first I thought I'd had one pint too many, but then I realized I wasn't the only one to see them." One of the locals, a renowned artist out for a night on the town with friends, happened to have a camera handy and caught this image as it was happening. "Of course I always carry a camera," said the no-nonsense photographer. "One never knows when one will be confronted with something that needs it's picture taken. Generally I'm looking for fungus and interesting pieces of this and that, but aliens will do quite nicely in a pinch. Of course the photo isn't what one would have liked to have seen in a situation such as this, but I suppose it will do for your rag." The photographer kindly provided a copy of the photograph, but had no further comment. "I've done my part," she said, "and now you're on your own." You can be assured that we will be following this story closely, as it isn't every day barley-sugar aliens land on the coast. By the time this reporter had reached the scene, the aliens had wandered off, and the spectators were standing around singing Jerusalem in a rather off-key way, as people are wont to do in situations such as this. Check this page tomorrow for further reports. .......... CLICK HERE to see Andrea's original image. Thanks, Andrea! You're inspiring! This was loads of fun. :D

I think it's appropriate given the photographer who took it that the UFO looks a bit like a mushroom. I wonder if barley-sugar aliens are edible? A very clever take on the original.

It's rumored that these aliens take over people's brains. They can then see things only as though it we though the lens of a camera. For some, this meant nothing, for others, well, lives were altered forever. They saw things in hideous color, grass was, well chartreuse, the sky was green and people were strange hues of blue. After a while, it all seemed normal. The aliens ruled this world, they were called Rendomaniacs and bowed to Queen Pstwrq, who skewed everything she saw.

Hehe... great story! This is a great, imaginative and most creative composition! I'm not sure as to how I'd react myself, if I were to witness this though.... awesome concept and presentation, my Friend!

Oh, this is hilarious! I love what you've done to this piece and the no-nonsense photographer is a hoot! Yes, aliens will do in a pinch! This is superb work. Of course Barley Sugar Twist aliens have been spotted in this part of the galaxy: according to other sources (employees of the Bureau of Interstellar Trade and Treachery) the Barley Sugar Twisties are likely on a migration that coincides with the Eleventh Rectification of something terribly unpronounceable to anyone with only one tongue.

Wow, That was quick!! Absolutely hilarious, Tara! If you lived here you would realise how close to the truth you are: the drinking to excess that happens every night probably leads to encounters of this kind on an all too regular basis.

So I take a few days off and I miss the big event. Super funny narrative. :>)Isn't is wonderful that we can all have such a great chuckle, about the influx of posted shrooms and mostly posted by Andrea. Actually a big thumbs up to both Tara and Andrea for being such wonderful members of RR. Dana
