\n“Oh not again, those little green men…
\nDescend in ships from the skies
\nThey obstruct you, and abduct you,
\nAnd shine bright lights in your eyes…<\/p>\n
\n“Oh not again, those little green men…
\nDescend in ships from the skies
\nThey obstruct you, and abduct you,
\nAnd shine bright lights in your eyes…<\/p>\n
Last time it happened I lost six hours
\nThat they had me in the spaceship before I went home
\nI remembered noting I told the wife
\nAs she beat me out the door and told me to go to hell to Rome!<\/p>\n
As sure as they are out there, I solemnly where
\nUpon the sacred name of Horchica
\nI never again will go with little green men
\nAnd never never again drink Slivovice!”<\/p>\n
* Horchica – Slav mustard
\n* Slivovica – Slavic plum brandy!!! Great shtuff!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
