We talked and laughed about how much fun we had with them and Irene and Dave, last week. "Nancy, Mark & I are still laughing about that hilarious Longmire—Texas Style video spoof that you did with your friends—to make Little Debbie more famous.
"We were going to put these on our heads, right before we got here, but it was too windy." Then she showed me their two, homemade, aluminum, alien-attracting helmets (tin pie pans tied with string) that they had made and the two, cute, little alien-attracting helmets they had made for their two, adorable dogs to wear.
After we had quit laughing about it Denise went to their truck and brought back this framed picture to show us. "Mark is famous for an alien prank he did, when he was 18 years old. He and his friends pulled this hilarious, Halloween prank, in Xenia, Ohio. And Newsweek magazine ran the story and Walter Cronkite commented about it on the national news."
Then Denise spun the picture around and showed us this framed newspaper article about Mark and his friends' famous alien incident.
Tony and I read the article and we were laughing the entire time that we were reading it.
(Please Note: The article was professionally framed, so I could not remove it from the frame. I tried scanning it, but that did not work, because of the glass glare. So, I ended up taking several pictures of the article and ended up having to cut it up in bits & pieces, so y'all would be able to read about this fantastic, funny prank.)
After reading this article, Mark told me that when the policemen took his friends to the police station, the policemen played along with the kid's prank and when they took took them inside, for a few seconds the unsuspecting police officers on duty nearly fell out of their chairs. And Mark said, "It literally put my small town, on the map. And for several weeks reporters were combing the town interviewing residents."
And I love it. Do we have cool friends or what!
Y'all have a great evening and keep on laughing!
