(Don't mind me, just pretend I'm not here)
Roswell's Alienfest is coming up in the first week of July - it's the 60th anniversary of whatever actually happened there in 1947. So, anyway, they usually have great little green styrofoam alien heads that you can put on your car antenna.
Anyone who wants one one of these should let me know so I'll know how many to return with. Just post here, then leave a terrestrial address in an email to: pailaway at yahoo dot co dot uk

Nice idea, paily. 
Do they have one that looks like B'Elanna Torres?

Definitely a nice idea. Any Mars Attacks ones?
Yes please
Roswell's Alienfest can I come with you?
Here is what one would look like if it were on your desk instead of on an antenna.

Does it look like B'Elanna Torres?  You decide.
Mars Attack ones? <seriouslyconsidersthisquestionsmiley> I guess I'll have to see.
All are invited. There's generally good postcards too if anyone would prefer that.
I'll take pictures, of course.

Doesn't look quite like B'Elanna Torres, but it's nice.
Postcards!
If you can find an with an Elvis quiff that'd be perfect
The alienfest was great fun, although I could only spare one day for it.
There was an alien costume contest. Here is what you would have seen had you been there:

No tinfoil hats?
Looks fun! Now, were there any authentic alien guest speakers?
In fact, there were some tin hats.
I noticed that there were some very serious <seriousface> lectures going on, but I think that whereas alien scholars are considered credible, an actual alien would not be.
I only say this because it's been my experience that conspiracy theorists are completely credulous about the larger topic but extremely skeptical about the details. It would go something like this:
Yes, yes, we all know you're an alien, but what makes you an expert on the Roswell Incident?
I obserrrved it frrrom Gannnnymeeeede.
Yeah, well I read about it from the Cleveland Post - that doesn't make me an expert - and wasn't Ganymede behind Jupiter then?

Ooooh aliens!
  
What fun! The kid in the "alien birth " photo looks Deeply Suspicious of the ET in a sling, as well he might.
I agree with you, considering the untold billions of galaxies around, it's highly unlikely earth has the only claim to "sentient lifeforms" but equally unlikely likkle gween men have actually bothered visiting us.
However, i would like a cutsie-poo alien souvenir if there's one going, so i shall email you!

Very good choice, sir - and well timed too.
Galaxy Babe was the only taker until now and I was just about to send her all of them to hand around - she will have one less now, I'm afraid.
Well, no problem, I'll just go get some more to send.
In fact, to anyone who happens by in the future, the alien head thingy for the antenna is a standing offer.
Sorry I missed this, P. Then again since I only drive a company vehicle it might be a bit odd driving around in that billboard with a little green alien head on the antenna. 
Better a little green alien on the antenna than behind the wheel, I always say.
Well, two packages are in the post now - one to England and one to France.
If anyone all of a sudden realizes how meaningless and utterly pathetic life is without one of these, just let me know.

I've looked and looked, and I can't find a single antenna in my life!  Talk about meaningless and pathetic. 
Hmm... that's a poser.
Not a single one, you say?
my my.
Perhaps you must think of it as more of an objet d'art and consider other venues for its display. It diverts attention from the fact that you don't have an antenna anywhere.
That, or find a Goodwill and shell out 50 cents for an old tv antenna that was perhaps owned by a bum, hobo I mean, who may not have had much else, but at least he had an antenna.
(very pathetic indeed - even insects have antennas and they're barely civilized)
Actually, I had one lying about on my desk for some time. It seemed perfectly content there, or at least resigned.
Ok, I'll stop now and not make too much of your antenna-less existence which is already difficult enough, I'm sure. It's just hard to believe is all.
Ok, really, I'll stop.

*Sigh* I guess you have created a New Age Dilemma here, pailaway. We are becoming a society divided into those who have aliens, but no antennas (antennae?); those who have antennas, but no aliens, those who have neither, down in the gutter looking at the stars & those up on top who have both aliens & antennas; who are probably stars in their own right.
This could have serious consequences for Life, The Universe & Everything.

Oh, what have I done? 
(good lord, this is worse than the Marie Antoinette business)
Leo? Have some 
Oh and sorry about the making fun of you thing back there.
(serious consequences - not good - must hide)

Ah. We've just had Bastille Day here, so it's a bit too late to chop off your head & let them eat cake. Even if it's Battenburg cake carved into neat slices by a guillotine.**
However, we have plenty of cheese, & as all good astronomers know, the moon is made of green cheese. Unless it's a   ; in which case we feed it Mars bars 
It is a little known fact that All Aliens Adore Chocolate.
