Lighten up, Francis[1]
In a relatively public forum, you admit to having to study social responses. Ever since, I've been trying to decide if I should make a [link|http://imdb.com/title/tt0088172/|Starman] or [link|http://imdb.com/title/tt0115082/|Third Rock] reference.
[1] And that was a [link|http://imdb.com/title/tt0083131/|Stripes] reference.

None of which I have seen
For the record, I've had people clearly try to insult me with mothership comments. Hence my reaction.

You've never seen *any* of them?
Man, what planet are you from.
Sorry man, I couldn't resist.

Two were movies, and yes I remember
Like I said, I couldn't resist that setup.

Well next time please do
Whether or not you realized it, you really hurt my feelings. And I strongly doubt that you would have done so if you knew how I would react.

Ben, you and I both had somewhat eclectic upbringings
your path was was much different than mine but both of us are far enough out of the mainstream to possibly understand the angst of the protagonist of "stranger in a strange land" so when we meet the folks surrounding us that make alien, mothership references be comforted that they are in the mainstream, and the poor bastards dont even know it and pity them. peace, bill

Didn't mean to
Yes, I was poking a little fun, but didn't intend for it to hurt. I'm sorry.

maybe the same planet I'm from 'cause
I don't know what you're talking about either. You know, pop culture isn't as popular as it once was. There's a whole lot more variety and so the demographics get finer (smaller). The amount of commonly shared culture is shrinking. Even as the north american entertainment products spread 'round the world. Just 'cause millions of people have seen something, millions more haven't & won't.
Have fun, Carl Forde
