That chair!

Mistress Maddie said...

Since the Dump won the election, I go out every night and look up and say Beam me up! I'm your clay....mold me!!!!!!!!

Boud said...

The artist abduction!! These are all great.

Rostrose said...

The alien couch is awesome, dear Debra! I would prefer vacations that don't take me to other solar systems, but I had a lot of fun reading it. I just didn't understand the thing with the Macarena, I only know the song of the same name... Did the UFO detector really exist? 😁
All the best from Austria, Traude

Apollo G? Oh dear.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Rostrose -- The vintage ad for the UFO Detector looks real, although clearly it was a scam aimed at idiots. Yes, the reference to the Macarena is to the song which so many people find extremely annoying and hate to listen to! Going through that fad again would be pure torture!

Pixie said...

Thanks for the laughs this morning:)

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

I'm praying fir abduction , it has to be better than what the orange mussollini is doing to us. Great memes

Travel said...

I have a neighbor who lines her clothes with aluminum foil so the aliens can't get to her. As long as she is happy, go for it.

Kathy G said...

I would prefer a conventional trip with no alien assistance.

Frank said...

Vacation: give me salt water, sand and sea food and I'm happy.

Marcia LaRue said...

👽 🛸 👽🛸 ... I am hoping for their arrival, as well! I love all of the memes!

Cleora Borealis said...

👽🤣 All of these are brilliant!! Am I the only one who thinks that chair is some sort of alien sex machine?!! 😬
You know there are people who would plunk down oodles-o'-bucks for an alien detector! Speaking of oodles-o'-bucks:
Debra, I found you some expensive "sci-fi" closer to home, not a sex machine but definitely a "Hot Toy" because that's the name of the company that built it! It's a Winter Soldier action figure with extra pose parts, beautiful hair made of very lifelike processed wool, and available for $450 on pre-order. I can't afford it, but I would if I could! I have a t-shirt that says, "who the hell is Bucky." With this Winter Soldier figure, I'd have to add to the words, "who cares? I got the one that I want! Hubba hubba!" 🥵😁

Janie Junebug said...

Reagan looks good in a tin foil hat. I can think of better ways to take a vacation than alien abduction, though. How about a trip to the Riviera of the Middle East as the orange idiot has now called Gaza *lowers head to place in hands and topples over dead*

Love,
used to be Janie who been killed by something pretending to be president of the United States

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Cleora Borealis -- Thanks for the link! Oh yes, I know the Hot Toys line of exquisitely crafted superhero action figures! Alas, in my own mind, I just can't justify the expense or else I'd have a full set, LOL!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Janie Junebug -- Yes, just when you think Rump can't get any stupider or more offensive, he manages to sink even lower.

Liz Hinds said...

Now that's probably the one thing I've never worried about, being abducted by aliens. Had to read the Apollo G one out loud.

BootsandBraids said...

Abducted painter had me LOL, and Cleora Borealis may be onto something with that alien chair being a sex machine, because I found it described on Reddit described as having “dick feet / penis legs”. Now I can’t unsee that and am suspicious of the five holes in the middle.

Parnassus said...

Hi Debra, These are all great, and I think capture the general feeling going around. About those Winter Soldier figurines, I still am not 100% clear on just who he is, but those realistic models really creep me out!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ BootsandBraids -- Sweet Innocent that I am, I didn't notice ANYTHING untoward about that alien chair! I commend both you and Cleora Borealis for your superlative gutter minds. You have schooled me!

Marie Smith said...

Apollo G was a nice intro. Thanks for the chuckles!

Anonymous said...

Codex: I think any alien species will simply fly by over the next few years.

Kirk said...

Flying Saucer--the only way to travel!

Mary Kirkland said...

Because the universe is so big I believe there are aliens flying around out there somewhere. I don't think that I will ever see one though because the universe it so big.

Tundra Bunny said...

I'm sure that UFO detector worked as well as those X-ray glasses sold on the back covers of comic books, LOL! As for aliens, if they can somehow get past all of Elon's space junk now orbiting Earth, their welcome to rescue me too...

Polly said...

Love the macarana and Apollo G!

Mike said...

I ordered the UFO detector 50 years ago. But the battery test switch quit working after a year.

roentare said...

I love the last meme. It looks so vintage!

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

Hahaha
It would be a RESCUE mission right now. What with Cheeto as president...
And now I want one of those $17.95 UFO detectors!! You just KNOW they made money with those.

XOXO

Fundy Blue said...

These are great, Debra. There have been people in my life who absolutely believed in UFOs. I haven't dismissed them because I think life is more widely dispersed in the universe than we've previously thought. Liu Cixin's epic three-novel series "The Three Body Problem" was brilliant and looked at alien life from fascinating perspectives. I've forgotten a lot of the books I've read, but definitely not these. Thanks for the laughs!

Joanne Noragon said...

That UFO detector. Scams in time. Older than snake oil.

Bohemian said...

We NEED a Rescue Mission right about now. Or, mebbe they could just take... well... you know...

LA Paylor said...

rescue mission, considering it's been two weeks of the new regime here and we're almost totally reduced to rubble, that one feels true
L.A,

baili said...

The rescue mission yea I too will think same way I believe
All so interesting and fantastic dear Debra 👌😍
Thanks for smiles and laughter my friend ❤️

e said...

Ok, the Macarena made me guffaw!
That chair though... ugh! And, is that a wet spot on the seat...?

This N That said...

I have to have one of those chairs! L O L..We have been invaded by aliens...I agree with the rescue/abduction one..Get me out of here!!

Sandy said...

Fun...lots of smiles, but my favorite is the 2nd one, it just really hit my funny bone. Thanks for the laugh, we surely need them these days.

Mr. Shife said...

An anal probe by some aliens doesn't sound too bad these days. Thanks for the laughs, Debra, and wishful thinking.

Guillaume said...

If Aliens decide to invade us soon, we're so f*cked!

DB Stewart said...

Apollo G, lol.

The Happy Whisk said...

That couch! I loved the painting one. What a fun one.

Busy Bee Suz said...

Apollo G. 🤣

Val Ewing said...

I'm going with a rescue mission....

Ur-spo said...

The theories of why we can't find anyone out there is a fascinating list indeed.

Barbara said...

Apollo G. I love it
