Dorian’s Tour of America
Greetings fellow readers. We’re going over Dorian Thain’s lecture series where he planted the seeds of demise for the Green Bible.
After the first few talks people knew who Dorian was and wanted to meet their first real alien from another world. The Harappans were segregated from the human population when they first got to Earth, so that when common Earthers had the chance to meet one they jumped at the opportunity. Wether they were really interested in his message or not.
Dorian would never admit it but his wife Alex has confirmed this for me. Dorian caused quite a stir among Earth’s population of people romantically interested in men. Young women and some men began showing up at his talks with more on their minds than intellectual intercourse.
Dorian has complained to me that there were times he had difficulty speaking because of girls in the front squealing for all they were worth.
Beyond the romantic attentions Dorian was also faced with overly fond homeowners. Hosts all wanted to befriend the alien among them. Dorian was showered with gifts everywhere he went. Of course he could not keep them. He had no place to put things, so they were given to the Friends. Someday I’ll share some of the odd things people tried to give Dorian.
At one stop Dorian was given the opportunity to enter a sweat lodge. Lodging is something we did in the White Mountains so Dorian was thrilled to participate. He initially thought it would be a great way to recharge and consider his actions on Earth.
It turned out to be something else, however. When Dorian stripped down to enter the lodge he exposed his tattoo for the first time on Earth. The Greenies had banned tattooing so his was the first skin ink people had seen in generations. If the young women of Earth were attracted to Dorian before, when they saw the exotic art on his chest and arm they went nuts. Dorian told me once that he was glad he’d met Alex before he’d exposed his tattoo. So many girls reacted to the look of the skin art, he said he felt better that Alex had fallen in love with him and not some image that was only part true.
For her part Alex once said to my wife Ina that she was at first repulsed by the tattoo but came to love Dorian anyway. Now I think Alex has her own small tattoo but I nor anyone I know has seen it.
Of course at this time Dorian only had the one eagle on his left shoulder. Later we’ll tell how he got the matching one on the right shoulder.
Tomorrow we’ll discuss how Dorian found out about the Harappan Curse.
Never Mix red wine and Oodo.
