Bill, I checked with the aliens to see if I could get them to honor your birthday in a memorable fashion. Well...imagine my surprise to discover that the aliens don't believe in you!!!
No, they refuse categorically to entertain the idea that someone or something as unlikely as a "Bill D" could possibly exist! Nothing I said would sway them. I indicated the hundreds of threads to which you have posted. They said, "Posts can easily be faked." I pointed out that many people believe in you and communicate with you on a regular basis. They said, "Yeah, and people keep seeing Elvis in shopping centers too, don't they? Those kind of people." I showed them pictures. They said, "You know perfectly well that pictures can be tampered with through digital technology and other common techniques. We believe that these photos are either very unconvincing fakes of a manufactured dummy of a "Bill D"...or they can be explained as a perfectly ordinary phenomenon, such as Venus, a stranded weather balloon, or a horse's ass shot in rather dim light."
Well, I was appalled at their closemindedness, and I got rather angry. You would think that beings who have managed to create an advanced civilization with high technology would have a little more imagination than that! Or a little less arrogance...
I talked myself blue in the face trying to convince them you exist, and all I got for it was pitying looks. "Look," they said, "we need solid empirical evidence. Got it? All you've given us is hearsay, all these supposed eyewitness reports from hundreds of unqualified people who are probably just seeking media attention or trying to make a quick buck, and some obviously bogus photos and transcripts that weaken your case rather than strengthening it. If there really were a "Bill D" out there, don't you think our scientists would have discovered it by now? Hmmm? Don't you think this "Bill D" would have openly tried to contact our government? We strongly advise you to abandon this Bill D obsession, because frankly...you are starting to look pretty silly...or else crazy."
I'm about ready to give up on the little gray fuckheads. They are as close-minded as their human counterparts.
