A Flying Saucer Creature Named Zog
From Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions (1973):
"...A flying saucer creature named Zog arrived on earth to explain how wars could be prevented, and how cancer could be cured. Zog brought the information from Margo, a planet where the natives conversed by means of farting and tap-dancing. Zog landed at night in Connecticut. He had no sooner touched down than he saw a house on fire. He rushed into the house, farting and tap-dancing, warning people about the terrible danger they were in. The head of the house brained him with a golf-club..."

Fan Mail
So, I was having this lighthearted Facebook conversation with some old friends about a Chicago radio station. (click to enlarge)
Based upon the content of that thread, I was contacted privately by an old girlfriend whom I have neither seen nor spoken with in nearly 20 years. To be fair, this ex-girlfriend had contributed to this thread, but her posts don't appear because they vanished after she blocked me or whatever. Judge for yourself.
HER: "So, I see you haven't changed at all."
ME: "How so?"
HER: "You still look down on others (or at least seem to) in situations that do not call for it. It's tiresome, and I've seen it since high school. I expected that you would have grown up a little more by now."
ME: "What a cranky, unqualified message. You're coming out of the blue to attack me based solely on how you are interpreting a stupid Facebook thread when viewed through your 20-YEAR OLD (!!!) lens, lady. Lighten up and leave me alone."
HER: "No problem, Old Man. Have fun on your high horse! You will not hear from me again."
ME: "Fuck you."

Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World - Ep. 11: Dragons, Dinosaurs And Giant Snakes
This one cuts off a little abruptly, most likely caused by that dinosaur hunter's weird-ass wig.
