Oh I'm So Drunk

Thanks to Photojournalist LadyStyx's other half, Ranger, we have an interesting picture.

First, a little background and another picture.


Between September 18, 1989 and May 7, 1990, there was a science fiction television series called Alien Nation, loosely based on the movie of the same name. Gary Graham starred as Detective Matthew Sikes (far left), a Los Angeles police officer reluctantly working with "Newcomer" alien George Francisco from the planet Tencton (back, middle), played by Eric Pierpoint

Sikes has a strange on again-off again flirtation with a female Newcomer, Cathy Frankel (I don't know which one is her), played by Terri Treas.

The story line offered these gems: The Aliens (known as Newcomers) get drunk on sour milk. They have two hearts and bald, spotted heads. They're highly intelligent, but if you drop them in seawater they'll melt into a puddle of goop.

On a serious note, the series offered insightful social commentary by illustrating what it means to be human and the often bizarre rituals we observe.

And now for Ranger's stunning picture.


Here we see a some Tall Propaganda Spewing Boxys* mixed in with some Tall Cheap Ad Spewing Boxys**. Three of these Boxys, a Red, a Yellow, and a Green, are obviously drunk out of their minds. A rare Blue Bodied Red Frame Face is perhaps only slightly less inebriated and leans heavily on a SUV struggling to remain upright and out of the wet grass and mud.

Was it sour milk? and if it was, where did it come from?

I, of course, have some speculation to offer. In this world of "Coffee on the Go" it is possible that someone, had a Coffee, perhaps from Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks or even McDonalds that was "heavy on the cream".

After said coffee went unfinished and cold, that person "dumped" the cup rather than leave it in their car, spraying these unsuspecting Boxies with what by this time, must of been some sour curdled milk product.

This senseless human behavior, not only littered the countryside with waste paper, coffee, and milk... but also with drunken Boxys.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

LMAO, surely the coffee came from Drunken Donuts! They specialize in sour milk.

LOL.

Sike's gal was the one pictured in red. The other in the picture was George's wife. They are also pictured with George's teenage son and a daughter (?). Another fact you forgot about them....it took 2 guys to impregnant the female alien and then later in the pregnancy the baby is transferred to the father to carry until it comes to term.

As for the source of the milk product.... nearby the scene (walking distance for even me) is a combination Dunkin Donuts/ Baskin Robbins.
