CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.
This recalls the old (Bob Newhart?) line: "The last thing I want to do here is be condescending—that means 'to talk down to.'" The article says, "Most everyone understands what UFO means—Unidentified Flying Object." From UFO Newsclipping Service, 1989.
We've been called back to the "Chief" mountain at Squamish several times — a powerfully imposing (terrifying) rock face, and no surprise that it could draw UFOs. From UFO Newsclipping Service, 1986.
It's easy to assume that a space alien saying "Take me to your leader" is merely humorous, but it actually happened. From UFO Newsclipping Service, 1971.
Your eye, like ours, might have identified the UFO flight path as a celestial sigil. Rising to the call of duty, we created a print-quality symbol for those seeking to invoke contact.
