Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Nasal Pearls, Grasshoppers and Pirates

Michael-In this particular story they gave the man's name with a spread of pictures "documenting" his feat. They did indeed give the name of the city in Arkansas where this supposedly occurred. They made sure it was one of our largest cities(actually Conway, near Little Rock)as, I assume, to make it difficult to track this particular gifted individual down. I have friends there and none of them knew about their talented citizen. I'm quite sure the whole story with pics was put together during a drinking binge in the back room of wherever the "Weekly World News" has an office. California maybe? This same paper had one of my all-time favorite cover stories. It showed then Pres. Clinton shaking hands with aliens. Big heads, black eyes, the works. They came to earth to help him. Hell, there is not enough of them in the entire universe to have been able to do that.  Best regards, Mark Steed
