Most know that I do web design (like this website) and I'm a gamer. I am terrible at writing, not horrendous, but not good like Clint - hence why I got him to write this comic. But a lot of times I'll imagine visually what to say and try to convey it all into words, which at times can be jumbled or make me forget that it's not that easy to convey my mood or a sarcastic tone in text.
For this time around, I still don't know what to really talk about. So I went to a random generator (Brainstormer) and will take the following:
Abduction, underwater, casino
Here we go! Or more I go...I'll just start blogging...it might get weird.
So when I hear the word "abduction", I think of aliens and first contact movies. And one of the movies that stands out in my mind is The Abyss. I remember once really liking the movie because of its idea of aliens hiding in the deep oceanic areas that we have yet to really discover. There are also things down there like the Anglerfish that looks freaking alien to me - especially the females that absorb the males into their flesh in order to reproduce. I thought that I had a hard time trying to find a date because I practiced martial arts!
But the point I'm trying to bring up here is the end where you see the big alien ship. Where Bud Brigman is being lead by the alien jellyfish-manta ray. The movie was trying to impress us with an alien ship, and what better way than with a bunch of neon bright lights!? They weren't evil aliens, they were peaceful aliens, so neon pink and blues were everywhere.
Though the only problem is that it makes it look like Las Vegas decided to open up a Casino in the ocean. I could see Cirque du Soleil performing there and some couple that does shows with Tiger Sharks. Now that I think more of this, it would be awesome!
And that's about all I have to say using "abduction, underwater, casino" as a topic. Let me know what you think about this weird blog post. If you think it was entertaining, let me know. If it was too weird and should be stopped to save humanity, then inform Clint so that he can start Code 72.

Nice job.All it needs is a show with dancing sea slugs.

Underwater casino makes me think of Fort Frolic in Bioshock, where some kind of sea slug gave rise to genetic manipulation. Didn’t much care for The Abyss though, when I saw it many years ago. I guess friendly aliens just don’t do it for me when the humans are also being friendly. (Except for that one guy, but when you get one guy against both aliens and the rest of the crew, and he loses, that’s kind of expected. I don’t even remember what his problem was.)

I’ve actually never seen The Abyss all the way through. When Dawn brought it up all I could remember was Michael Biehn was sweating and gasping a lot, but that could be said of any Michael Biehn performance. 😉
