Definitely mah' favo'ite aliens is de Bo'g. What it is, Mama! De Bo'g is spooky . . . likes de six-million dollar man, but on de outside. . . Half-robot, half-human, de mad eye comin' out starin' at ya', an arm likes some gattlin' gun, but mo'e complicated. . .
Dey gots some fantastic ship . . . some massive cube . . . likes Fascist architecture . . . ah' can imagine da damn Bo'g playin' Wagna' as dey loom down upside de side uh a planet. Man!
Dey're likes termites . . . dey 'esist as some whole mass but dey feed off oda' life-fo'ms, assimilate oda' life-fo'ms. Oda' life-fo'ms is irrelevent. Man! All dey're interested in be 'spandin' and furderin' de Bo'g. What it is, Mama! . . Nuthin ya' drow at dem dey kin dig it and overwhelm. WORD!
Dey're likes de Nouveau-Nazis uh de universe. You's've gots'ta admire da damn Bo'g. What it is, Mama!

Good to get your comment--and I so appreciate that you haven't "said" anything yet about your thinking on Comedy yet--one-third of my kids have been stricken with something heinous (Oh good lord! I do hope the plague hasn't found 'em before we dive into Boccacio next month. That would be ironic...), so under the circs, I had to delay their exam. You have some great skills, child, so I know you will score something intriguing. My son finally this week found a nice little placement in NY that taps his fluency en francais and leaves his head free to write. Yours is coming--can you feel it? Turn that next dorner, and there it is, waiting for you to notice and take it up.
