THEY TOOK BOSTON!

The Mooninite entry from the Urban Dictionary. (See links on right.)

Two dimensional creatures that hail from the inner core of the moon. They are arrogant, are often bad influences on those who come in contact with them, and have the ability to shoot large square like projectiles from their moon weapons.They can be seen on the Adult Swim show Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Mooninites launched an attack on Earth in January 2007. They succeeded in shutting down Boston on Wednesday, January 31.

You’ve probably seen it all on TV already, with all the mandatory phony media outrage – “how dare you scare us with flashing lights when there’s a War on Terror, wah, wah, wah, wah" – and the two freaks responsible and the size of the one’s dreadlocks, but I’ve only just got in after doing some recording with Andy and then falling asleep on the couch after the beer I drank, so I haven’t had a real chance to the matter things through, but I know I recognise this guerrilla Dadaism of the highest order, even though it was weirdly promoting a corporate cartoon show, but that in itself may well be a sign of the new century. It also points up the abject cowardice of the average square. (And what about Boston's finest? Mother of God what a dumb and easily paniced bunch of assholes?)

The secret word is Envious

Now question wrestling with aliens.
