OK, "Ancient Aliens" is going really nuts now!

[Brigid]

Let me see if I have this right: Now the Hair Guy and his pals are saying that 450,000 years ago aliens needed gold for their atmosphere, so they came here to mine it. They took prehistoric humans, genetically altered them, and used them as slave labor in the mines!

[Marrah_G]

1. I'm not saying it's aliens...... but it's aliens!

I love Hair Guy! AA is a never failing source of amusement

[Coyotl]

87. Google search for 'ancient aliens guy' and then click images, dozens of these

[Turborama]

91. That second one made me pmsl!!

Thanks fo psoting it! Off to google images in a bit to see what else is on offer, lol...

[WCGreen]

127. I can hear that meeting right now...

CraZy the Hair up, you need to look more like a douche in order to get the suckers in...

[Coyotl]

129. "At this IQ level, if they can't laugh at you, they won't watch you"

I'm sure that was part of the conversation too

[sylvi]

131. He does

He does look like he's standing under a giant vacuum cleaner that's slowly winding up.

I always knew Dyson's stuff was alien technology!

[Ash_F]

2. Remember when the history channel was good? /nt

[Liberal Veteran]

10. Yes, but back then we called it "the Hitler Channel". -nt

[white_wolf]

35. Ahh Hitler Channel where every week was Nazi Week.

Even their Nazi stuff got pretty weird. Remember the Hitler and Occult specials? Still, it was more interesting than most of their current stuff. I'll admit Pawn Stars is a bit of a guilty pleasure. It has very little to do with history, but I like watching the store owners interact.

[Turborama]

92. Just started watching Cajun Pawn Stars and trying to work out who's who

It seems a lot more scripted/staged than the original and not sure if I like it or not yet...

[Ash_F]

115. Maybe even before then.

I remember a lot of varied and serious shows. I haven't owned a TV in over 8 years though.

[Coyotl]

88. no

[truebluegreen]

101. Yah. Back when it wasn't intended to be a corporate money-maker...

but yes, Pawn Stars is a guilty pleasure.

OTOH, Mountain Men? Ice Road Truckers? Deadliest Catch? Swamp People? Cajun Pawn Stars?

The Learning Channel and Discovery? Same thing. One of them used to be funded by NASA...

[a geek named Bob]

3. gold...for their atmosphere...

right.

[mindwalker_i]

82. They loved it when it rained nuggets

In really bad storms, it would rain gold bricks and they could build shining palaces afterwards.

[a geek named Bob]

139. assuming that there were survivors of the brick storm...

[Throckmorton]

124. I guess it's not the cybermen who were taking them.

Everyone knows that gold plates there breathing apparatus, so they wouldn't want it for their atmosphere.

Tom Baker was the best of the original doctors, IMVHO.

[a geek named Bob]

142. This summer, with luck, I'm hoping to have a Dr. Who marathon.

My local video store seems to have a lot of the older stuff...

[former-republican]

4. No crazier than what the bible says

[Blue_In_AK]

44. Agree.

In fact, those angels and things probably WERE aliens.

[gateley]

45. Agree!

[JaneyVee]

52. This is the Zecharia Sitchin theory.

[fadedrose]

59. I have all his books

Didn't care for the last. I think he foldled to religious pressure....

But his theories sure hit home with the ones I already had, but he provided all the detail and more.

[JaneyVee]

64. I'm more of a Terence McKenna type, but Stitchin did provide great detail.

[forestpath]

80. I've read several of his books - can't say he convinced me but I found them interesting.

[ArcticFox]

104. Yeah, I like his books

The fact they get high hair guy to present this tells me the theory could be true.

[Codeine]

145. Sitchin was a kook.

Pure unadulterated woo.

[RedCappedBandit]

81. Seriously, though.

I often wonder how many of the people laughing at these silly stories believe in other, equally silly stories.

[RKP5637]

103. Is that ever true. Frankly, parts of it sound like someone ranting while on a bad drug trip.

I guess this will get me a couple of ignores.

[Berlum]

120. Check out Zecharia Sitchin

And Thou Shalt Be Amaz - ed.

http://www.sitchin.com

[Confusious]

5. Aliens need bling! nt

[dawg]

6. Homo Erectus sucked at mining gold.

Had to do something.

[NYC_SKP]

19. Uh oh. You put "sucked" and "erectus" together in your subject line.

To say nothing of the other word.

This thread is going to H E double hockey sticks!

[Jackpine Radical]

40. ROFL

The whole site is on a roll tonight.

[Turborama]

96. And...

I bet someone's going to pounce on "mining gold" as a double entendre, too.

Oops, looks like I might have made a triple entendre out of it by mistake...

[RKP5637]

106. ...

[freshwest]

7. Oh that's my favorite one! Who's hair guy, though?

[Marrah_G]

12. OMG you don't know who hair guy is?

https://www.google.com/search?q=crazy+hair+guy+on+history+channel&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=RU&sa=X&tbo=u&rls=org.mozilla:en-US fficial&tbm=isch&source=univ&ei=6JbCUJjNK5Lh0AHI1oDoBg&ved=0CEUQsAQ&biw=1600&bih=710

[freshwest]

57. Oh, *that* guy. I only see old Ancient Aliens on YouTube. This line of CT is popular:

Muahahaha! Everything you know is wrong! Follow the new saviors or die, you dumb hybrid humans!

All of these guys are going to take a major hit in their finances on December 22nd 2012. Because we aren't going to:

before Christmas. It's been better than Hollywood and a lot cheaper. Thus I take all of these with a

[Liberal Veteran]

15. Giorgio Tsoukalos

[Gore1FL]

61. He looks Centauri

[img][/img]

[Aerows]

126. LMAO!

He DOES! I was trying to figure out where I'd seen that hair before, and I need look no further than Babylon 5!

[freshwest]

112. When I first saw that guy's picture, I thought he was a comedian!

[dionysus]

18. .

[RomneyLies]

26. That dude is soooooo fucking stoned....

He looks like he's been smoking ganja every waking moment for he past twenty years.

[Confusious]

30. I saw some of those episodes

Going from one episodes to the next, his hair started wigging out more and more.

Like he was getting high from shock therapy.

[freshwest]

73. You know, some say that the hair is like antenna to outer space or something.

Maybe the Mothership was calling him!

[dionysus]

76. never again has he been that stoned or his hair that boofed out on the show since...

[RKP5637]

107. ...

[ArcticFox]

108. Thank god those aliens gave us ganja before they left

[Buck Turgidson]

21. This guy

[freshwest]

74. Oh, definitely! And they're coming back to check us out. Or they're already here...

[Generic Brad]

83. He just exudes credibility

I always believe the guy with the highest hair.

[Coyotl]

89. Hair Guy has become a meme pasteboard like the World's Sexiest Man

His should say, "I don't always talk, but when I do it is about aliens."

Google search 'ancient aliens guy' and then click images.



On edit, found this one:

[freshwest]

111. Thanks, I actually have one of those. But I didn't know he'd *really* been on THC.

I thought it was completely photoshopped. I'm getting behind because I don't have teevee. Only what I can grab through the net without subscribing.

I learn a lot here on DU, as I once did on YouTube about the current memes. But they've degenerated a lot over the years. DU keeps me googling a lot!

[JaneyVee]

8. That's EXACTLY what happened!

Proof:

[NYC_SKP]

14. It's happening RIGHT NOW!!11!!!1

[Rex]

41. Ya go ahead and laugh! You fail to realize the alien is already in the room

wanting you to be skeptical as they suck more and more of the ocean into invisible space ships!
^^^notice the hair motif^^^

Call him 'funny hair guys now', but in a decade he will be known as Our Supreme Overlord.

[JaneyVee]

48. I wouldn't trust a word that man said, but he looks like a fun person to do bong hits with.

[ZombieHorde]

75. I love that movie! nt

[freshwest]

114. Settle down and enjoy...

[frogmarch]

9. It is one show I absolutely

cannot and will not watch. omg, If I accidentally land on it while switching channels, I actually hum really loud with my eyes closed until I've escaped. That show is nuts.

[Kalidurga]

16. That's hilarious...

The reason you won't watch the show is the reason I love it when I do watch it.

[Blue_In_AK]

49. Me too.

I LOVE the Ancient Aliens. I think I've watched every episode.

[Marrah_G]

28. You are totally missing out on the fun !

It's like "Finding Bigfoot"...... everything is a "squatch"

And............ There is even an AA about AA and Bigfoots! Double WIN!!!!

[Marie Marie]

100. Finding Bigfoot really needs to change its name to

NOT Finding Bigfoot. Love watching Debbie Downer (aka Renae) and her smug "I am a scientist and oh so superior to the rest of you " attitude while the other 3 think every nocturnal sound in the woods is a Bigfoot communicating with them. But I do like Bobo, the Squatch stuntdouble. That show is a hoot.

Oh and: "The Hair Guy". That was too funny.

[Marrah_G]

135. Bobo is one of those people you just can't help but like

[fascisthunter]

11. Mr. Fake Tan

an embarrassing experiment on Americans begging to be entertained and fooled. Probably very interesting for psychologists... I find it depressing.

[Marrah_G]

31. It's like watching bad sci fi movies on syfy on Saturdays

Sometimes it's fun to giggle at the ridiculousness.

[fascisthunter]

34. Moonshiners is hilarious...

not Sci-Fi.... real. Or at least they say it is.

[Marrah_G]

42. I'll have to see if it's on netflix yet

[fascisthunter]

56. it's ridiculous, tragic and funny

The characters even grow on ya. They are just people, but man O'man... sometimes, you are left scratching your head, then laughing your ass off!

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

55. I caught an episode of that a few weeks ago.

I was (WTF?) for a while.

[fascisthunter]

62. my favorite character is "Tinkles"

I think that's his name.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

79. How are the TV crew allowed to follow both the police and law breakers without

the police being pissed?

It was interesting, albeit from a WTF is this show moment, from a standpoint of making moonshine.

Also, I didn't know that the authorities would let moonshiners go legal, but it seems to be fairly costly for most to go legal so there is where you get the show and its interest.

[fascisthunter]

138. yeah, that's what makes me wonder if it is reality

or just scripted...

[Motown_Johnny]

13. IBTL

This is either a Lounge or Creative Speculation topic.


But that said....


If the aliens were here for gold they sure missed a lot of it.

[Brigid]

20. I really meant to put this in the Lounge.

[Motown_Johnny]

27. ROFL

Hey, I'm not going to alert it. But the way things go around here I am betting it is only a matter of time...

[Scootaloo]

116. You did, but the nargles moved it

[Turborama]

110. I really hope the hosts don't lock it. DU badly needs this medicine right now! N/T

[Quantess]

123. This would get locked in Creative Speculation.

[Junkdrawer]

17. Oh, so YOU'RE the person who watches that....

I keep seeing it in my channel lineup and I wonder "Who the hell watches THAT?"

[Liberal Veteran]

23. My other half watches it. I snicker and roll my eyes as I walk by.

To each their own.

[MFM008]

24. no I love it.

[Brigid]

25. It makes for great comedy.

Some DUers say they like to get high and watch it.

[MFM008]

22. hair guy

has an alien for a hair cutter.....

[Wounded Bear]

29. So Stargate was a documentary, too?

[Marrah_G]

32. Wait... you meant it wasn't?

[Posteritatis]

51. It's certainly closer to one than anything History airs these days. (nt)

[wandy]

128. Stargate was never meant to be a documented. The did do a fair amount of background checking on

the mythology involved in a number of their 'cultures'.
This explains it better than I could......

[Agnosticsherbet]

33. They breath gold...

Talk about the 1%.

[Rex]

36. What more evidence do you need!? I mean you have a live

alien (Hair Guy) sitting there telling you all this! Oh wait...that's a human, are we sure?

[Archae]

37. Besides hair guy, they probably revere Eric Von Dummy...I mean Von Daniken.

A guy who went to jail in Denmark for embezzlement, was described as a pathological liar, and in one of his books ("Gold Of The Gods&quot pulled the most stupid stories completely out of his ass.

[Lint Head]

38. They sent the gold slaves back to earth and that's how we got the GOP.

[Brigid]

43. You gotta admit . . .

That's as good an explanation as any.

[Coyotl]

97. Yeah, like every atmosphere needs an inert heavy metal

Sometimes I think stupid is a product they want us to accept for free

[Grey]

39. My sister loves this show.

She also believes in dragons...

[Archae]

47. Dragon fancier here!

There's far more evidence that dragons might have actually existed, then there is for this "ancient aliens" shit.

Besides, no one can flame like a dragon!

[truebluegreen]

102. Nice dragon...

always wanted one.

[Jackpine Radical]

46. OMG! Threads like this & no DUzy awards.

I nominate the whole thread for posterity.

[Turborama]

99. +10Googol! N/T

[markpkessinger]

50. We need to file suit in Intergalactic Court . . .

. . . to be compensated for all that stolen gold!

[AverageJoe90]

53. The Hair Guy ought to branch out a bit. =p

Let's see what happens when he gets into the field of conspiracy theories. Is there really a Satanic outline to DC's city streets? Do Masons really control the world? Or, better yet, is Elvis Presley actually alive and well....on the moon? (Just please don't let this guy get ahold of climate change: we've got enough "Oh noes, teh humanz is all gunna di, worldz gunna end, blah blah", nutters as it is......I'm only half-joking, btw. :tsk


In all honesty, I'll be glad when this year's over....no more '2012' hysteria, I hope.

[JaneyVee]

54. I believe Ron Paul is an alien.

[OxQQme]

72. To all non-believers

yea, all you woo-sayers......

watta ya gonna think when planet X shows up in the southern sky next to the moon?

Huh?

Seriesly....

There's plenty of evidence backing the story of the "Mud People" being genetically altered.
The bible even speaks of 'sky' people intermingling their juices with the women on earth.
There were 'giants' and mutants in those days before 'the flood'.

Every ancient society left records that woo-ers pass off as BS.
Or fable.
Or myth.

100 ton granite blocks 'machined' to NASA tolerances, moved miles from the quarry sites over un-believably difficult terrain, and placed precisely according to a well designed blue print.

leaving aside Giza pyramid, google 'temple mount construction'

All over the globe!

Earthlings of that time in history? Not likely.

What if it's true?

Then what?

Doesn't really change who we have 'become'.


Beam me up Scotty.

[Coyotl]

98. Believe being the key word. Well chosen, indeed.

In archaeology there are two domains, evidence and interpretation.

There is one body of evidence, and all archaeologist share the same evidence.

There are more interpretations about the evidence than there are archaeologists,
that because of how many amateurs think they are archaeologists too.

[truebluegreen]

105. Umkay...

where'd they go? We need them back! To save us from ourselves, and stuff...I mean, clearly, we should never be left to our own devices.

[charlyvi]

58. Jesus was an alien star child.

That's what they're saying now. Explains a lot.

[PufPuf23]

60. That theory resembles basic Zecharia Sitchin interpretation of Sumarian tablets and

a good imagination.

I no longer watch History Channel because shut off TV 2 years ago.

Isn't our standard Abrahamic God an Ancient Alien?

[sakabatou]

63. Instead of "god of the gaps," you have, "aliens of the gaps."

[fadedrose]

65. The 12th planet came too close to earth in an eliptical

orbit, causing all kind of mayhem. Our planet, Tiamet, was hit by something, and what broke off became the asteroid belt. The moon was not affected. It may have began then to orbit the earth. THe aliens were not friendly towards each other, a lot of competition. They warred on earth. They were the mythical figures - forgot all their names, that were worshipped in earliest religion.

It's been years since I read Zitchin, and only the main theories stuck in my mind.

That orbit of Planet Niburu took 3600 years, and each time it came close, the earth suffered consequences.

[antinano]

66. He supported Obama

He's a liberal by the way... Saw his facebook post about Obama's victory...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

67. Why the fuck is that shit on the History Channel?

And why doesn't that station have any historical shows anymore. It's a good argument not to privatize PBS.

[NYC_SKP]

69. Because Hearst/Disney/ABC don't want us to know about any real history.

True history would be pretty embarrassing for the powers that be.

[Turborama]

113. Because it's run by....

[nadinbrzezinski]

117. Err...duzy

[nadinbrzezinski]

68. Oh com'on, that and Alex Jones

Are pure comedy gold and fiction mines for...fantasy.

[RandiFan1290]

70. Silly

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

71. Then again this sounds like the premise of the movie "Cowboys and Aliens"

[Speck Tater]

77. That's exactly what I was going to say. Aliens, gold, slaves, it's got everything! nt

[forestpath]

78. At least people who believe there could be something to this aren't trying to

shove it down other people's throats and making it the law of the land.

[jberryhill]

84. Could that show be produced by aliens to divert us from the truth?

Some theorists believe the answer is yes!

[longship]

85. To Serve Man

[Coyotl]

86. I passed up this jacket at the thrift store.

[Turborama]

118. Mock away, but explain this picture....

...that was speed painted live at the scene:

130. That's an alien photograph

obviously

[spanone]

90. 'the hair guy' bwahahahahahaa

[Coyotl]

93. humans!

[Turborama]

94. This thread gets a Rec for being so full of humor win! N/T

[aikoaiko]

95. Sounds like the plot to Cowboys and Aliens.

oy

[MrMickeysMom]

109. Are you talking about the "holes"?

You know, the holes that can be seen from the air?

According to the Hair Guy (as I shall know him from now on), they also used it as a bill board.

Face it, it is great entertainment compared to every single other cable channel.

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

119. I like how the Aliens want our women

They need our women for breeding projects or other genetic crossbreeding experiments and yet the Hair Guy and others always make it sound like the aliens desire our women, making sure to take them out for dinner and a movie before using any probes on them.

Some of the stories they tell us make it sound like the women will chose the aliens over their own species.
I can hear it now: "I'm sorry dear but I want to have a baby with the four foot tall green thing with five eyes and three arms. He even promises that I will be the only human he will ever probe while you have sex with anything you can catch after you've been out drinking."

[MassedPole]

121. Could be possable. I believe we were planted here by a advanced Alien race.

Thats what I believe anyway.

[sarge43]

122. Right. A civilization capable of interstellar travel

uses the most inefficient power source, slave labor, to produce a resource vital to its survival.

[Ikonoklast]

134. Yep. Stories like these are easily debunked.

Any civilization that could develop a method of interstellar travel would also easily be able to fabricate any element they need in whatever quantity they desired, or invent new ones to suit their purposes.


They would also use technology instead of human muscle...hell, we've been replacing humans doing physical labor with technology for thousands of years already, and we are nowhere near as technologically advanced as the supposed 'aliens'.

[Aerows]

125. His hair

I just can't get past his hair to comment any further on the ravings of his lunacy. It's the hair. Sane people don't have hair that looks like that, and if they do, they don't go on camera with it for the whole world to see.

[DireStrike]

132. The "history" channel:

[TopHatCat]

133. So those aliens were repubs...

...crazy as hell and got off on exploiting people....

[Coyotl]

136. As compared to just plain nuts before!

Just had to say it.

[lunatica]

137. I'm one of those people who wish there really were ancient aliens

Because it would explain a lot about the teabaggeratti being practically another species. Probably the ones that the aliens didn't abduct and mate with. I like to imagine my ancestors were really not of the left behinds way back then.

I hate thinking I share the same specieshood as this teabagger

[LibertyLover]

140. They're just

cribbing what Zachera Stichin wrote.

[Capt. Obvious]

141. Xenu is not amused

[WinkyDink]

143. I love Hair Guy!

[Warren DeMontague]

144. How long before we get "ALIEN VS. SASQUATCH"?

My money's on the squatch.
