| Plot Summary of An Old-Fashioned, Horrible Alien Movie |
|---|
"Inspired by too many late night science fictions, J. J. Hall's imagination will take you where you haven't gone before!
Unappreciated by a domineering spouse, mild mannered Sonny Harris lets loose at an office party! While drunk, he decides to offend his wife's orthodox parents by stocking up on pork products for their upcoming visit.
But is is an unusual night! Severe weather has the area has the area in disarray. UFO sightings abound! Even the theft of Ontario, Canada's prize hog is attributed to the alien menace. On the way home from the store, Sonny is abducted by extra-terrestrials!
Mad beyond belief and packing pork rinds and sausage, Sonny proves beyond all doubt that humans are the most dangerous beings in the universe, and coincidently, tell horrible jokes! Visiting Earth was definitely a bad idea!"
J.J. Hall, Resident Scholar
