A Ufological “Do” and “Don’t”!
Over at my World of Whatever blog I have a new post that lists what are (in my view) the Top 10 things best avoided when it comes to investigating UFOs, becoming a Ufologist, and avoiding becoming a joke…
As an example, here’s Number 8:
“Can you imagine being interested in UFOs and never talking about anything else? I can’t, and I hope that applies to you, too. But, it’s hardly something unknown in Ufology. It doesn’t hurt now and again – actually, as often as possible – to have a life away from everything bug-eyed and saucer-shaped. Whether it’s down the pub, at a restaurant, at a conference, or anywhere, it is actually permissible to speak about other things, like football (’soccer’ as the unenlightened call it), life, music, travel, the list goes on and on. But, when we’re all in a social context, let’s have a break now and then from never-ending discussion about how many bodies were found at Roswell, or whether the Grays like their mutilated cattle cooked rare or well-done. Droning on about UFOs all night will (a) demonstrate your lack of a life; (b) fail to get you laid; and (c) quite possibly see you on the receiving end of a powerful punch on the jaw from someone who cannot take another 3-hours of waffle about memory-metal found in the New Mexico desert 60-something years ago. When it comes to being stuck like an old and scratchy vinyl album, Ufologist: Don’t do it!”
