OK. Enough of it. Lets stop the mockery.
We all should support KotA's campaign and join the moment skywards. There's enough evidence that "they", the gods from the sky are real, built many ancient monuments with some lost advanced technology and ascended the Atlanteans, Mayas and Nazca, among others.
Time to call them back to help solve our problems.
You call the extra-terrestrials. "Extra...." what does that mean again? It means they come from somewhere outside of earth. And what, do you suppose, is an "alien?" Someone from somewhere else. Guess what?...pssst...there's no such thing as 'aliens'...

Dear aliens: I've been trying for a long time to set up a stone altar on which I can sacrifice the beating hearts of virgins, but for some reason I cannot get the corners perfectly square, and I think this is why the police keep hassling me. Can you help?
So, no word on the age of these virgins, then?
Why are you so interested?
My recollection is that in the past the gods had a preference for teenagers, although I think some of them liked defeated ball players too. Either one ought to be worth a try. Your Olympic opening scheme may be premature, and it might be worthwhile to wait until some contests have been decided, since there will be a better supply of defeated ball players later in the games. Start the opening ceremony, not so much with a direct invitation to come down, but with an invitation to watch and to get their appetites up for the feast of defeated ball players to come.I thought this was part of the discussion at hand...?
I'd think the 'age' of the virgins would be most relevant as to their value as a sacrifice to entice 'them' to descend.
Maybe an assortment, and let them pick their flavor.I am just say'n you can't just throw ANY virgin out there and expect results, that's all...
Be careful not to use quotation marks in an attempt to emphasize a word (the kind of thing you see in grocery store windows—Big "Sale" Today!). Underline or italicize that word instead. (The quotation marks will suggest to some people that you are using that word in a special or peculiar way and that you really mean something else—or that your sale is entirely bogus.)
The American Medical Association Manual of Style (9th ed, 1998) calls misused quotation marks like this Apologetic Quotation Marks and says:
Quotation marks used around words to give special effect or to indicate irony are usually unnecessary. When irony or special effect is intended, skillful preparation can take the place of using these quotes. Resort to apologetic quotation marks or quotation marks used to express irony only after such attempts have failed, keeping in mind that the best writing does not rely on apologetic quotation marks. (p 220)
...
In the United States, we use single quotation marks [ ‘ ’ ] to enclose quoted material (or the titles of poems, stories, articles) within other quoted material:
- "'Design' is my favorite poem," he said.
- "Did she ask, 'What's going on?'"
- Ralph Ellison recalls the Golden Age of Jazz this way: "It was itself a texture of fragments, repetitive, nervous, not fully formed; its melodic lines underground, secret and taunting; its riffs jeering—'Salt peanuts! Salt peanuts!'"
I am just say'n you can't just throw ANY virgin out there and expect results, that's all...
