Well, it should be plain to all that the Martians are very ticked off about the MOABS screwing up their invasion plans, which appear to have been delayed for an indefinite period. In a fit of pique they struck back at Mudcat Cafe over the weekend, knocking the most vital source of information on the entire Internet off the air for about 2 days! Stories are continuing to pour in of the panic and chaos that ensued as desperate Mudcatters all over the World reacted to being incommunicado and bereft of purpose! Some thought that the World as we know it had ended for all time. Soft and hardbound copies of "Learn to Speak Martian in 185,000 Easy Lessons" sold out at stores in Schenectady (New York), Willett's Gap (Wyoming) and Hull (U.K.).

This thread has been launched to assure the faithful that emergency measures have got Mudcat up and running again, and the Martians have NOT taken over yet. Do NOT believe the rumours of disaster and the doomsayers! We are in control. The BS will not be stopped.

Please post to this thread and share your personal stories of the Martian attack to give comfort and reassurance to others who share your hopes and fears. We are all in this together.
