Maybe the aliens are mice and this is just the start of their world domination plan.

Well it’s an invasion for sure, they probably started COVID to weaken us.
They carried it out of the lab when they escaped.

We prefer squirrels.


Heavens no! they seem so cute!


I went to grad school with someone who ate squirrels occasionally. He pick up that habit when he was homeless (long story). In a nutshell, he got a divorce from his wife after leaving the military (she could not stand his drinking problem) and decided to rough it to get by rather than paying alimony/child support. He liked the taste of squirrels that were roasted over a campfire. I passed when he offered me one. I much prefer grilled bison steaks, thank you very much.

I believe it.

The crew of the saucer that shot down that Australian drone were probably alien mice. They saw the drone and figured that "those earthlings are flying tiny aircraft just to make fun of us! We need to tell em to f**k off!"

Yes, perhaps an alliance of Yowies and greys might be the final battle against the meecies.

For some reason I am imagining Trump on a rotating BBQ spit with an apple in his mouth.

And sausages contain off-cuts and scraps from the bin mixed with the sawdust off the butcher's floor at the end of the day!

It is called "SCROD", which is an acronym for "SCraps Remaining On Dock".  It is made of the cheap fish that no restaurant will buy, and may even be a little "off" or "manky" by the time the processors get hold of it.
