Ancient Aliens, My Pa, and Me.

Last night I was hanging out with my Dad. He's been away at work so I hadn't seen him in awhile. Him and my mom were munching on dinner & watching the History Channel (clearly his choice) when I plunked down on the couch. More specifically, they were watching Ancient Aliens. I really like this show, but I usually watch it alone... thus not verbalizing my thoughts. With an active audience here is some of what transpired:

Me:

"Why do aliens always crash in deserts? You'd think they'd be more likely to crash in densely forested areas."

Me (watching a commercial for Planet of the Apes):

"I highly doubt that when the apes take over that not one of them names their child something like 'oooo-eeee-oooo", instead its always like 'steve'."

Me:

"You should take mom to go see that movie."

Dad:

"I dunno, its not really a date movie." 

Me:

"Well... I guess you could go as friends."

Mom:

*snickers*

Me:

"If they've identified that its an "unidentified flying object" then wouldn't it actually be an IUFO (identified unidentified flying object) now?"

Me:

"Ya know, I think the bigger mystery is less about 'how can aliens travel so far through space?' and more 'why are they so interested in our orifices?'"
