Pizza, Beer and Aliens Don't Mix...

Weekend Assignment #84: What's Happening Here?

I thought we'd try something a little different for this week's Weekend Assignment, something to stretch those creative muscles in your brain:

Weekend Assignment #84: Take a look at the picture below. Tell us what you think is going on in the picture. You can write as long as you want, or as short as you like -- even a photo caption works. Now, it's a fairly weird picture, but I thought that would just give you more to work with. Ready? Here you go:

Never take your alien friends out for pizza and beer. 

The combination of beer and pizza is not a good idea.  Their heads will swell 3 times their size from the alcohol, making facial features contorted and crosseyed.  Not only do aliens have a low tolerance for alcohol, their arms are very thin and flexible making it very difficult for them to lift only one slice of pizza at a time.  This may cause very embarrassing and ackward moments as well as very  unacceptable behavior in public places, and a lot of dirty shirts.  To "fit in" they will also take on your physical appearance, and unless you are willing to be a twin for a day, it can become very confusing for friends and family. 

John really did mean well.  He wanted to thank his alien friend for all of his collaboration work on his latest published masterpiece, but John really should have thought this over before taking his friend out on the town that night.  John is frustrated in the picture.  How do you cure an alien hangover?  Don't worry, this might be the beginning of another book!

After a certain age, "twins" really shouldn't dress up alike either. 

Extra Credit: Would you like to see more "explain what's going on in the picture" sort of assignments? Not every one would be as odd as this one, mind you. But I want to keep the assignments fresh and fun, and this might be a way to do it from time to time.

Sure John---and invite ALL of your alien friends to particpate!!
