Ahhh!!!

I looked outside this morning while opening my blinds. There was white stuff everywhere. I went outside to investigate and took my trusty camera with me. It was on the trees and the grass and the fence posts. It seemed friendly and inviting so stepped off the porch to take a closer look. It bit me! My feet felt tiny razor sharp teeth everywhere. I ran back inside to warn you. We've finally been invaded by marshans. They may not be green or 3 feet tall or have ray guns, but they have incredibly sharp teeth and they're everywhere, even falling from the sky. I can only hope humanity will survive this attack and learn how to
prevent the next one. I will fight those tiny white marshans to the bitter end. If I don't make it, good luck to all of you.

salting the marshans will kill them off. they must be related to slugs. Round here we commonly get these "attacks". Just hunker down and wait em out. And wear some extra clothes!!!

I fought and fought these aliens for years, but could never totally defeat them. They would retreat for a few months, then gather strength and attack again. I finally had to retreat myself to a planet called Florida!

I remember 1 or 2 times in the 80s, we had some attacks like that in NW Florida. It sucked; wrecks everywhere, people freaking out, etc. I think those martians live in Korea. When I was in Korea, they came out in November and didn't quit falling from the sky until March...

Where I live we sustain many such attacks, though we have less inudated than usual this year. We taught them a lesson last year with the special machines that we have developed for combating them. But we have to remain ever vigilant because they sometimes make less expected attacks in March or April. Sneaky, very sneaky.

We have a pile of those fallen marshans at work. They just sit there in a pile over in the shade. They just keep loitering around. So I ran them over on the way out. They made a crunching noise.

If you want to know what you can do to help fight the invasions, go to www.youtube.com and search for "snowmen hunters ep 01". There is some language, nothing too bad though.

I heard they can't survive in temps above 32 degrees. The really cruel people around here put chains on their tires and run over them.

Sounds utterly brutal, but then they are invaders.
