“Yeah, thanks – I got the idea watching Joan Collins on Dynasty.”

When you live on this planet, all porn is tentacle porn.

It’s not a mesa it’s a buffet table.

Does this qualify for the shoulder pads tag?

“It’s ok boys, that’s not an alien life form. It’s an alien traffic signal. Looks like we’ve got the green light to keep going.”

Yeah, Tom Noir, I know people have some weird ideas about lesbians but the last time I checked Jodie Foster wasn’t one-eyed and 20 metres tall.

I’m intrigued by the asymmetric limb-arrangement. Is it like humans, with a right-handed majority and a few others? Do beings like this have special tin-openers for those with four tentacles on the right and three on the left?

Is that alien related to the TV-headed gorilla from this really terrible sci-fi movie I can’t remember the name of?
Fortunately for us all, this isn’t the Contact (written by Carl Sagan) you’re thinking of.

“Roger, Houston. I didn’t say that we can raid here. I said we need a can of Raid here.”

@Anna: I believe that’s the sainted Robot Monster you’re referring to. I must… yet I cannot… note the lack of bubbles.

Hey, I own this book! (Or, Mr. xnoob does) Our copy’s in better condition. Original price 50c, the Mr. paid 10c. I guess it’s been around here so long that I never considered it GSS fare; you can get used to anything over decades.
@B’mancer (4): Those are shoulder pads… maybe. Are they an intrinsic part of yon beastie, or is it wearing them? Might be built-in.
@THX: Ro-Man! I don’t see his washing machine either.
What scale is this at? Are those humans as we know them, or is that a Hugo award, sitting on a mesa-shaped base, with tiny figurines of men and some rubber monster attacking them? Is it a set-up on some shelf of Murray Leinster’s library?

Whenever the first word in the blurb is “man” I am going to add Florida ahead of it.
Florida man faces extraterrestrial life!

@JuanPaul – You mean like this?

Tat Wood@7: don’t mock the war veteran. He lost that tentacle fighting for our FREEDOM against the atomic toadfish of Vega 7.

@biblio Damn you! 😀

@Bruce: I stopped watching ‘Neighbours’ when Stingray died. Have they moved into space-opera combat?
June 28th, 2018 at 4:33 pm
@THX: Thank you! I was definitely thinking of Robot Monster. This thing could at least be Ro-Man’s cousin, I think.

Tat Wood@16 uses Australian. It’s super effective!

“Earthlings, I wouldn’t pay half of what you’re asking for a spaceship that old. I mean, look at the wings. You can’t find spare parts for those models anymore.”

“Give me the Crabby Patty formula!”

Criminy, now THAT is an ALIEN! I’m actually somewhat impressed.

Man faces extra terrestrial life in ‘Contact’ lenses; too much yellow tint.
