Saturday: A Spooky Burger.

Because of spooky new stickers.
The burger was good, but it goes cold too quickly.  They have the A/C super high, and all the toppings are basically cold, so that cools off the burger as well.

TldrL:
  • Title:  The Whisperer in Darkness
  • Date:  1930
  • Summary:  A guy who lives by himself deep in the woods is being bothered by aliens.  He gets in contact with a reporter, and sends him some photographs and notes and a phonograph record he recorded of the aliens and human cultists doing stuff.  The aliens try to kill the guy, but he has guns and dogs and stuff.  Letters go back and forth and blah blah blah.  Then, suddenly, the guy sends a typed letter (not handwritten) that's basically, "Oh, I patched things up with the aliens!  It's all cool!  Why don't you come visit, and bring all the evidence with you?  It'll be fun!  TOTALLY NOT A TRAP!  Who said trap?  NO TRAPS HERE!"  I mean, come on aliens.  Are you like three?  Who do you think you're going to fool.  That reporter, obviously, who visits, and brings all the evidence, and has a conversation with the guy, but the guy's all weird, and tells the reporter that he let the aliens take his brain out of his body and put it in a metal cylinder, because yes, that's a great idea.  He's going to travel back to their home planet with them, because ???  He offers the reporter a chance to get his brain extracted and put in a metal cylinder too, so he can visit the alien home planet.  However, while pretending to sleep, the reporter hears the aliens plotting to get him, and escapes by stealing the guy's car.
