Making Comparisons of Potatoes, Politicians, and Space Aliens

So far we have reviewed whether dinosaurs are more interesting than politicians and, not surprisingly, the pols lost.  We have reviewed whether potatoes are are more interesting than social networks and, also not surprisingly, the social networks lost.  Now the first comparator is a space alien but we're not clear who its corresponding battlebot should be.  Are space aliens more interesting than a frozen macaroni cheese TV dinner ... we just don't know.

Note:  yes, Euros, such a frozen meal really is available over here.  It's a nice example of Yank genius since it takes, say, three-four minutes to 'cook' the frozen meal in a microwave.  Now, how long does it take to boil the pasta yerself.  All together now:  eight to ten minutes.  The frozen only costs five or ten times as much.  Such a deal (larfs).

You need the baby sweet peas for yer gourmet mac and cheese.  Then you can get all the fatty cheddar cheese yer body craves but you can point at the green and say, see ... it's good for you.  If you're really screwed, that will feed you and it's surprisingly tasty.

Note:  I wonder what happens if banana peppers are in that mix as well for a twist of unusual.  Could suck but might even be good.  Plus some black olives.  Even if nothing else, it would be colorful.


Jeff Goldblum led us from "Jurassic Park" to "Independence Day" because we noticed, dayum, he is one exceptionally large Jewish guy.  The man is 6'4'' so he is super-size on any standard but I've never known any large Jewish guys in my life and the only one I ever saw on record was a Jewish heavyweight champion prize fighter who, I guess, wanted to destroy every stereotype about Jews ever known.

The other thing I wonder is whether Goldblum is really as smart as he seems as he loves to play genius roles and he fills them well with total apparent authenticity.  Steve Buscemi is another who is brilliant like this and you never know for sure, man, is that real or is he great with the lines ... or both.

Here at the Rockhouse, we believe they really are cracking smart since it's not that uncommon in really talented actors and we have heard of 180 IQ multiple times.  Stephen Hawking's IQ is said to be about 160.

From that we conclude we don't know jack about IQ except people with high IQ usually do cool things and we like to watch them.


Maybe the comparator for space aliens is ... other space aliens.  Usually we see them as the most terrifying constructs from sulfuric hellfire ... or they're just bee-yoo-tee-ful beyond belief.  Where are the ordinary aliens as with the movie, "Ordinary People," which we didn't watch because, well, ordinary in a movie makes sense like a sandwich which makes you hungry.

George Lucas mostly gave us carnival space aliens so, yah, maybe that's the answer.  Where are the regular space aliens.  Where is Joe the Space Alien.
