UFO, the Space between the Two Logs.

The space between the logs, UFO owes its name to a certain issue of Fantastic Four [April 1998] which featured those incredible Moloids.

The Moloids now live below the earth on the slopes towards the “Dark Woods” of Risa, their underground civilization marked on the surface by 2 mundane logs. If it wasn’t for the man himself, Slyman, Overlord of the Seekers, this would have been a secret that could have lasted ….. well….. forever.

But that fateful night when I deduced the secret behind [below?] my favorite drinking hang-out, they came to me and made me promise that it is all the information that I can divulge.

The Moloids are the soul behind the drinking experience in UFO. They make you look beyond what you see; find hats where skulls are supposed to be, and make trucks braking on the highway sound like other-worldly banshees screaming for your skin. Never doubt the Moloids for then you are toying with eternity.

Dhruba is one of the many examples of the people who were touched by the UFO experience. That fateful afternoon, when the demon called ISCE had “passed” us, was when D learned that there was nothing that bettered nature itself. A few minutes later, Steven was being pulled up from a certain fall, [As mentioned earlier, this is an event that will never stop being talked about]. Saved, was Steven by the grace of UFO, and straight shots of McDowell’s Rum [Something Irish yet again, if only just the name]

Christmas 2002, when the Muffler was almost lost. I shudder to think so, but gladly I am able to tell you that it was retrieved. UFO never loses your things; you only have to go back before it rains.

UFO, “the space between the two logs”, where we all liked to go and chase our demons and angels. I wonder if it were signs of things to come.
