Long time friend (pushing 30 years now...) and BATW ambassador Bill Mezek sent us these wonderful shots from the U.F.O. capitol of America. Be sure to check out the alien street lamp near Denny's. Now if Elliott had only given E.T. beans instead of Reese's Pieces.... the world might be a different place today. Think about it.

Anyone up for a Grand Slam Universe Meal at the local Denny's? As long as it doesn't come with a side of "tribble", I'm all for it. On top of being the UFO center of the known world, Roswell is also the birthplace of actress Demi Moore, and is the home of the nation's largest mozzarella cheese plant... Wow, that explains a lot!!! |
| Word has it that a UFO crash landed in the desert outside of Roswell in July 1947. On July 8, the Roswell Army Air Field issued a press release saying it had recovered the wreckage of a "flying disk," but a few hours later, a general at the regional Army Air Force command in Fort Worth, Texas, where the debris had been sent for further analysis, announced that what had really been recovered was a weather balloon. Yeah, right. As far as the truth goes, the beans will never tell... |  |

From the "Now I've seen everything" department: Here in Roswell, even Wal-Mart gets in on the action. So in honor of the occassion, and with sincere apologies to both David Letterman and Spinal Tap for ripping off their shtick, Beans Around The World proudly presents... |
