Idioms

I'm still getting used to human speech. They often say one thing when they mean another. I believe this is called idioms. I'm still not used to them. Why just yesterday I was told to kill two birds with one stone, so I did. Actually, I just stunned them. Maybe that's why he was mad. I told him that my blaster would work much better. He got madder and screamed in my ear, "I like birds!!!" So I asked "If you like birds, why did you tell me to kill two? And why with a stone?" At that point, he threw a shoe at me, and stormed off. I just don't get idioms.

Someone told me that I have the best of both worlds. I didn't think he knew I was an alien. I disguise it well. I asked, "How did you know I was an Alien?" He then looked at me with a confused look on his face. "What are you talking about?" I then told him I'm from a distant planet called Grr-Awk. He then called me crazy and ran away.

I gave an inventor the blueprints for a hover board. About a week later, he told me that it didn't work. Apparently earth doesn't have Galivors. He asked me to go back to the drawing board, so I asked him what planet that was? I don't think he knew the coordinates; he just kept hitting himself on the head. After I realized it was an item. I looked for it for hours.

A man told me that I was barking up the wrong tree. I wasn't barking at a tree, but I wanted to see if I could bark up the right tree. I never found the right tree, but the police told me to go home.

I will continue talking about my problems with idioms tomorrow. Until then...

Farewell, and may you always find the right tree to bark up.

Jokes

There seems to be a lot of debate with humans on why the chicken crossed the road. Some say he did it to get to the other side, to get away from Colonel Sanders, to show the possum it was possible, to get to the other slide, to give people something to talk about, because he could, because she saw what you did to her eggs, and because chickens are really stupid. I then learned that this  wasn't a philosophical debate, but was a joke. We do have jokes on my planet, but they are very different. I'm not even going to try to tell you a joke from my planet. You wont get them. Someone Told me, "People on a diet should go to the paint store. There you can get thinner." I didn't need to lose weight. I chose a very healthy form, but a friend of mine said that she wanted to lose weight. That's why I told her that. She just laughed at me. Apparently, that guy wasn't giving me information, but was telling a joke. I have found humans have various categories of joke...

The Real Easter Bunny

I went out with the Easter bunny a few days ago. People have her all wrong, like how they think she's a boy. Why would a boy have eggs like that? She's an Angorian. It's a very interesting race that looks like a cross between a bunny and a person, but don't call them bunnies. They really don't like that. She bought chickens that lay colorful eggs from someone named Derek. He owns his own pet shop where you can design your pet. I asked him for a telepathic squid. He says he's still getting the Zoronean DNA, but he'll make it. There are many different races in the universe, and none of them look like ET. Star Wars and Star Trek get them all wrong too. There is one series that gets it right because it was written by an alien -- Eubos System, books one two and three. They tell you of beings that shoot lightning, that are connected to another dimension, those that shape-shift, the Damians who have a sixth sense, and other cool races that really exist. You rea...

Valentine's Day

There seems to be a strange tradition called Valentine's Day. The day that no matter how long you have loved someone, you have to prove your love by getting them something expensive and impractical; and if you don't get it right, the duration of which you're in the dog house can range from a week to forever! This is why I don't think that we should have Valentine's Day. I think we should have Pizza Day instead. Everyone likes pizza, and if they don't like it they should, so nobody should feel left out. Plus, pizza is much cheaper than jewelry or a dozen roses. There are many things that people find romantic. Here are some things that I find truly romantic: 1. Cleaning out the RazorFang cage together. If you can do that together, you can do anything together. 2. Chocolate dipped bacon. Girls like chocolate; boys like bacon. Serve with pizza. Now there's a romantic evening. 3. Go to Galor. Watch Bofalball all day, and drink Swampaid all night. What mor...
