Bad Sign Number Six Million And Eighteen

Had a dream last night that mankind had received its first ever contact from aliens, an encrypted message that scientists spent months trying to decode. Finally the top three scientists—characters of mine—presented the decoded message to a breathless Some Kind Of World Conference.

It was Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.”

“Really,” said one of the scientists cheerfully, “we should have seen this coming.”

As I should have. Because really, what else would it be?

Well, in Contact, it was the first television broadcast.

But this is so much better.

This dream was definitely heavily influenced by Contact.

My first thought was "all your base".

Maybe a LOLcat? A while back, I thought it'd be funny to have an alien race who learned English from reading LOLcats...........

That's AMAZING. I approve.

Hah! Sounds like your context won that round. I salute you!

I just wanted to add a bonus punchline like usual. I didn't mean to upstage you!

You kidding? It was HILARIOUS!

I love your dreams. Like, I get giggly whenever I see a post of yours that begins with "Had a dream", regardless of what follows.

God, yes, they entertain me, too. I wish I could come up with this stuff more consistently when I was AWAKE.
