Think you know how electricity travels through a circuit?

One of the best posts I've ever read Martin. I was in Roswell a few years ago. Had I known this then I'd have tried to get some live pictures. Just imagine what the tabloids could do with some photos. He'd be famous worldwide.....

 

I have stills plus video. Trust me, you don't want to see them. I was considering uploading them to a porn website as some people have weird tastes but it would have been too much for even them.

Aliens have, err, different physiology, that's all I'm saying.

What I would say is that if you ever visit Roswell, and you happen to be sitting in the Little A'Le'Inn, and you spy a strange creature sitting in the corner looking longingly at an electrical socket, calmly leave, get in your car, slowly drive away to avoid suspicion, and then once clear of observers get the hell out of there.

Remember, the human body contains electricity. Hang around too long and you might get a wet leg.

I have never made a secret of the fact that I came from the Gamma Quadrant.  You think you have high voltage here?  HA!  A household socket is child's play.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

I love you guys..........

I hope you arent including the being pertaining to be "Noel" in that statement.

Never tell an alien organism that you love it. As I said, their physiology is not the same as ours. You WILL regret it.

I ask you, who here has regretted this alien from participating in this forum?

By the way, I come from the planet Margo, which is close to the Gamma Quadrant!  Do you also communicate by tap-dancing and flatulence? 👽

Yep, learned all that in Air Force electronic's school in the late 60s.  Remember vacuum tubes?

In one lab session we had to build a simple amplifier tube circuit.  There was a box of parts in the middle of the floor.  We had the bare chassis and had to follow the schematic to build the amplifier.

All of a sudden there was a loud pop and a flash similar to a flash bulb.  One of our students learned that you never apply B+ to the filament.

I went through USAF electronic school at Keesler AFB in 73-74. There was still a lot of vacuum tube theory in the initial 18-week segment, though a lot of solid state theory too, and basic digital logic.

Same here, but a total of 25 weeks at NATTC, Memphis, Tn for Navy electronic training  Vacuum tubes galore!  Also transistor and solid state theory.  Never forgot the "common base", "common collector", "common emitter" chart!

Well no, but I would still advise against expressions of "love" as it could be dangerous with your alien anatomy.

1958? 😯 The year I was born. January 10th. And I expect you to remember.

I went through at Lowery AFB in Denver in the mid 60s.

Or, maybe, alien love is better than earthly love.  I've found that love on a mental plain and just being close is just as good as physical love.

Who could ever forget that date? Linda Lovelace's 9th birthday.
