Never mind the yahoo babelfish

ah, you probably have no idea what I am talking about do you...good. At least that means I am safe to talk candidly. You shouldn't bother wasting your time with the yahoo babelfish translator it won't do you any good. You see we (or should I say "I", now that I am no longer in the plural, not here any way) speak an entirely different dialect to you. Humans in all thier melting-pot togetherness seem to lack motivation for communicating with anyone other than themselves.

I have heard of a few exceptions, one being Doctor Do Little as Possible (or words to that extent). He tried to converse to the animals, but people thought him nutty as a Fruitcake, so it goes. The other was Wilbur who use to talk to a horse called Mister Ed.

Anyway I'm rambling on a bit. My name is...well probably best I don't give away too many details at first. After all...what was that? You think my name might be Zarp Tangol? What makes you...oh the title of the blog? Well it was really intended for another purpose but, what the hey, why not by jiggery-pockery, yeah you can call me Zarp Tangol you wish, or even Zarps. Actually that's not too much of a bad name. Zarps from Arch...oops, forgot the cautionaries.

Suffice to say I'm from what some may refer to as "Out There."

My arrival on this planet was no mistake, in fact I'm on a very important mission. But don't worry, no need for stereotyping. I don't require to be take to your leader, or aided to build some kooky interstella telephone so I can "phone home" like ET. I did not travel here in a round saucer like spaceship with flashing lights, or beam anyone aboard for subtle experiments. Truth is our leaders could not afford such technology. Most of the funding went into a governmental, consolidated slush fund. No, I came here via other means which I will eventually get around to explaining in the fullness of time.

I think there is some sort of Earthly expression that goes something like "I'll tell you when you get older".

But for now I'm just plain old Zarp. "Zarp from Out There". I'm sure we're going to get along like a planet on fire.
