No, you're 6EQUJ5!

Sticky Hands: How will they even know?
for all we know "suck my saggy old balls" is alien speak for "very pleased to meet you"
heck, it sometimes means that here.

It is of course well known that careless talk costs lives, but the full scale of the problem is not always appreciated.

For instance, at the very moment that Arthur said "I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle," a freak wormhole opened up in the fabric of the space-time continuum and carried his words far far back in time across almost infinite reaches of space to a distant Galaxy where strange and warlike beings were poised on the brink of frightful interstellar battle.

A dreadful silence fell across the conference table as the commander of the Vl'hurgs, resplendent in his black jewelled battle shorts, gazed levelly at the G'Gugvuntt leader squatting opposite him in a cloud of green sweet-smelling steam, and, with a million sleek and horribly beweaponed star cruisers poised to unleash electric death at his single word of command, challenged the vile creature to take back what it had said about his mother.

The creature stirred in his sickly broiling vapour, and at that very moment the words I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle drifted across the conference table.

Unfortunately, in the Vl'hurg tongue this was the most dreadful insult imaginable, and there was nothing for it but to wage terrible war for centuries.

Just send them one ping only.

For god's sake, just send back the same exact message we received so they'll know we're just as smart as they...were in ...1977. Asshole Tweeting scientists.
Just do that music from Close Encounters; or the hockey fight scene from Strange Brew.

Nuke this planet from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Our response to their distress call is 35 years to late.

1+1=2 2+2=4 4+4=9 (or actually I+I=II (2) I+II=III (3) II+II=IIII (4) ) etc to 10

and then start on th multiplaction and division tables. Stop right before you get to E=mc2 just in case they haven't worked that one out for themselves yet.

Math is the only true universal language

I'm going to send random YouTube comments...
