But I um...thought the crystal people played whistles. Oh, ah wasn't I supposed to mention that?

My dog has never played a whistle--but he's slobbered on a few fipples in his time, if you know what I mean.

Hey I've seen that movie!!! Well I fell asleep to that movie. I think it was on MST3K (Mystery science theater three thousand to those who are uniformed makes fun of old Sci Fi movies by improving over the lines...)

Gort was just about to take up the whistle when some woman ran up screaming "Gort! Klaatu barada nicto!" and put paid to his ambitions forever.

My mum used to do pretty much the same thing when I borrowed a mate's sax back in the 70's...

I thought it was some dude named Campbell that yelled that and it sounded like "Klattu berahta... nitchechooo!"

Good thing too. He was about to reach for one of his Whistles of Mass Destruction.

Dale, you're alien is looking a bit emaciated there! I can see his ... uh ... rib-thing things

You gotta feed 'em, man! I've found Quaker State 10/30 is about right, but it may cause 'em to overheat on hot days...
