An alert and astute mockdocker sent me a link to a site where you can get step by step instructions on how to make an anti-alien-abduction hat.
And you guys, I think it’s legit. And by legit I of course mean that’s batcrap crazy, but the dude who is the “inventor” of said hat GENUINELY BELIEVES that he’s created an anti-alien-abduction hat.
Now, in order to make that hat work, you apparently use Velostat, which scrambles telepathic communication between aliens and humans. And see – if an alien can’t take over your mind, he’s not going to be interested in abducting you. It’s very simple, really.
My favorite part of the description, by FAR, is when it says that ”The thought screen helmet has effectively stopped several types of aliens from abducting or controlling humans. Only four failures have been reported since 1998.”
There’s pictures and tons more hilarity at the site. Check it out! And feel free to add any Robbie Williams-related snark in the comments.

Man, I love crazy people.
This is going to foil Tom Cruise’s plan of taking over the universe. We need to get one for Katie immediately.
Wiggity, you beat me to it!
Has anyone been to Roswell New Mexico? If you love crazies, and I do too Jenn, then Roswell is Crazy Mecca. Oh what fun it was!
I was going to order one but then all of a sudden as if out of nowhere my mind changed and I thought “I don’t need one. Spooky.
Oh and Mock, out of those four failures, two of them don’t count because they were due to alien hybrids. I just want to know who has been screwing aliens, maybe Robbie?
Awwwww….I just went to the website to enjoy the insanity and Michael Menkin (the hat inventor) looks like such a nice grandpa…but I think maybe he was gassed in WWII and his loving wife (he’s wearing a wedding band) must just go along with him and his wackiness. I bet holidays at their house are a riot. True love, huh?
“I just want to know who has been screwing aliens, maybe Robbie?”
…..only the poofter aliens.
I bet they work great as dragon repellers too.
Reminds me of a funny, satirical novel by Christopher Buckley called Little Green Men.
