Super size that salad



Digging into my bowl shoveling green lettuce and red tomatoes into my mouth reminds me of the time the Earth was attacked by the Anortrists. They had sent down from orbit, giant siphons which carved up and stole everything green and alive that they touched. Shovel, shovel, shovel, on and on they went until they were satisfied. That is, until their storage bins were full. Then off they went back to their sterile, fake asteroid to eat. What we thought were naturally occurring ‘Acts of God’ like tornadoes and earthquakes were anything but that. These were the unnatural Acts of Aliens – though in a way; their behavior was natural enough, even earthly. You see aliens too have to eat; even though they didn't have the manners to ask first. I don’t recall Europeans asking the Indians for a continent first, how relatable they are to us.
