AS PROMISED ON TWITTER, here is Artifact One of the archeological dig that is my desk:

A VERY OLD AND VERY OLD FASHIONED parking ticket from Brattleboro, VT.

CURIOUSLY, Brattleboro, VT’s official website now has a twitter feed.

That is all.

Wondering if this voter was being funny or if he was in earnest voting for THE lizard people, rumored foot soldiers and/or potential rivals of the illuminati….

TO WHICH I SAY: “YES, TONY, there is a lizard man.”

I DID CERTAINLY presume that the voter was speaking to one of several conspiracy theories involving the REPTILOIDS.

(WHY, EVEN THE “LIZARD PEOPLE” ballot has been referenced by the speedy Wikipedians. Thanks, SERENDIPODOUS!)

I FIRST CAME TO KNOW OUR REPTILOID MASTERS via Jon Ronson’s amazing documentary on David Icke, perhaps the number one reptiloid conspiracy theorist (in this dimension anyway).

(You can and should also read about Icke and others in Ronson’s ruefully hilarious book, THEM.)

NOW LOOK, I am not a conspiracy theorist. But as hilarious as Bearman’s post is, as one Wikipedian points out:

It is entirely possible that the “Lizard People” ballot will decide the composition of the US Senate for the next 6 years.

DOESN’T SEEM LIKE MUCH OF A JOKE NOW, DOES IT?

WHAT IS MORE, there are even those who claim that the REPTILOID CONSPIRACY THEORY provides the only possible explanation for this otherwise completely impenetrable joke.

ALL I ASK is that you think it over for yourself.

That is all.

PS: LINK FIXED

PPS: IT HAS BECOME clear to me that the YouTube page above links directly to Icke’s website. But I wish to be clear that I offer no such direct endorsement of Icke.

I TAKE NO POSITION on the accusation that when Icke says “lizard people” control the world he is actually referring to Jews. What makes Icke interesting to me, and what Ronson reveals in his film, is that Icke may sincerely believe either ridiculous conspiracy, or both.

AND RONSON CAPTURES one of the most wondefully ambiguous moments in documentary film when he has a drink with a bunch of well-meaning, if over-zealous anti-Icke protestors sitting around a pub, ACTUALLY conspiring against a man who believes in conspiracy theories. Amazing.

SO I’M NOT GOING to take down the embed, lest I be accused of being paid off in reptiloid coin. But I absolutely do endorse RONSON wholeheartedly, and encourage you to watch his whole film, in whatever legal way you can, especially if it compensates him.

That is all.
