Ugh... what a night. Had this in my head after I realized that only animals from Earth had noses:
To the tune of Alice Cooper's - Only Women Bleed
Man's got aliens to take his weed
He's got the power - oh
They got the need
They spend their life through pleasing up humans
They feed him dinner or anything they can
They cry alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Man makes their hair gray
He's their life's mistake
All they're really lookin' for is an even break
He lies right at them
He knows they hate this game
He slaps them once in a while and they live and love in pain
They cry alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Black eyes all of the time
Don't spend a dime
Clean up this grime
Al-lee-en down on their knees begging him please come
Watch me wheeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze
Aliens can't sneeze

George Washington Carver knew a thing or two when he discovered the many uses for . . . the peanut.
George Washington Carver, considered the father of the peanut, began his research into peanutes in 1903 at Tuskeegee Institute in Alabama. The talented botanist recognized the value of peanuts as a cash crop and proposed that peanuts be planted as a rotation crop in farmers' fields. This procedure was especially valuable in the Southeasten cotton growing areas when boll weevils threatened cotton crops. Farmers across the region listened to the great scientist and peanut production flourished. Additional research into the peanut helped Carver to discover over 300 uses for the peanut including shaving cream, leather dye, coffee, ink, and shoe polish to name a few.
Peanuts are a $2.0 billion industry in Georgia.
Did you know?
Georgia produces 45% of the United States’ peanuts.
Over 80 counties in Georgia produced 1,511,655,000 lbs. Of peanuts in 2003.
Georgia has 14,160 farms with peanuts and over 4,800 active farms.
Georgia has approximately 250 peanut related businesses.
The peanut industry contributes more than 50,000 jobs in Georgia.

We Shall Never Surrender
Since I've given up photographing Orange Coneheads, and by extension, all things alien for Lent, I want to thank Lady Styx for all of these pictures.
The late great British Statesman, Winston Churchill truely knew how to inspire and rally the British people at a very grim time. By early June 1940, the Nazi juggernaut had overrun the country of France in mere weeks. As the Germans looked over the English Channel at the white cliffs of Dover and toward further conquests, Churchill went on the radio and broadcast his famous Blood Sweat and Tears speech.
In part, his speech of 4-June-1940 went:
...
We shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender...
What, you may ask, does this have to do with us today? Well, look for yourselves. These photographs show the Aliens amongst us are at our very doorsteps.
A platoon of grey Square Fanheads at the wall. Even their very formation shows their intense disipline and training. Bearing what appears to be the lastest nuclear powered Crenalated Plasma Wall Burner, they prepare to breach the ramparts. I doubt that neither the wall nor the occupants inside the home under attack will survive the onslaught for more than micro-seconds.
How did they know where to attack? Well, they had the help of spies and forward situated reconnaissance units. Here we see rare photographic evidence of a 4-member alien reconnaissance unit on the rooftops. These black boxy squares are wearing camouflage to make them appear as innocent and decidedly non-violent roof mounted ventilation fans.
Some reconnaissance units act alone. Here we see a Square Headed Tail Rooter listening in on a human command post. The Wrinkled Black Beatlejuicean Worm in the background is busy at work stealing our water, the most precious fluid on earth.
Here we see some more grey Square Fanheads. Pipe-like probes have been sent through the wall - do they contain fiber optic cameras? Listening devices? Or will these pipes be used to inject some form of chemical or biological compound? Are we being subject to biochemical warfare? Will the residents of this home be blaming their dog for unseemly odors just before they keel over?
The aliens must think the occupant(s) of this home to be "high value" target(s). Just look at all the little Black Boxy Poofers on the wall. When they go poof, this wall will disappear so thoroughly it will be as if it were never there.
The enemy is relentless. How will we defend ourselves?
Perhaps the battle cry "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition!" needs to be altered to "Praise the Lord and Pass the Sour Milk!*"
In any event, now like no other perilous and desparate time in human history, we need to put aside our squabbling over Dr Pepper versus Coke versus Pepsi and gather together and become determined to do our duty, for we too, shall never surrender...

Coca Cola was invented by Doctor John Pemberton a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia. He had began work on a coca and cola (kola) nut beverage and it was intended to stop headaches and calm nervousness, but others insist he was attempting to create a pain reliever for himself and other wounded Confederate veterans.
The name was a suggestion given by John Pemberton's bookkeeper Frank Robinson. Being a bookkeeper, Frank Robinson also had excellent penmanship. It was he who first scripted "Coca Cola" into the flowing letters which has become the famous logo of today.
The soft drink was first sold to the public at the soda fountain in Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta on May 8, 1886.
About nine servings of the soft drink were sold each day. Sales for that first year added up to a total of about $50. The funny thing was that it cost John Pemberton over $70 in expanses, so the first year of sales were a loss.
Until 1905, the soft drink, marketed as a tonic, contained extracts of cocaine as well as the caffeine-rich kola nut.
In 1887, another Atlanta pharmacist and businessman, Asa Candler bought the formula for Coca Cola from inventor John Pemberton for $2,300.
By the late 1890s, Coca Cola was one of America's most popular fountain drinks, largely due to Candler's aggressive marketing of the product. With Asa Candler, now at the helm, the Coca Cola Company increased syrup sales by over 4000% between 1890 and 1900.
Until the 1960s, both small town and big city dwellers enjoyed carbonated beverages at the local soda fountain or ice cream saloon. Often housed in the drug store, the soda fountain counter served as a meeting place for people of all ages. Often combined with lunch counters, the soda fountain declined in popularity as commercial ice cream, bottled soft drinks, and fast food restaurants became popular.
On April 23, 1985, the trade secret "New Coke" formula was released. Today, products of the Coca Cola Company are consumed at the rate of more than one billion drinks per day.
I'd like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees, and snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony,
I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company.
