Arcturian Poontang

[Kriszilla]

Obviously of a sexual nature, Arcturian is just probably a reference to the world where the marines received said poontang. Maybe the locals had some unusual sexual practices?

Must've been unusual if the sex of the hooker didn't really matter.

It could even be that they were not human, Cameron does allude to the existence of other alien races with little things like the 'Bug Stompers' icon the marines on the Sulaco use.

I don't think it was ever specified, it was just put in there to make the marines seem like they'd been together for a long time, and maybe show that they were pretty close friends, not to expand the 'lore' of the Alien universe, as it were.

The Arcturians are probably just humans. One of the marines was probably suckered into a compromising situation with another dude.

I've always considered 'bug hunt' lingo for a mission that's wasted time and has no action.

The Arcturians are probably just humans.

Yeah, Arcturus may be a colony, planet, solar system, etc. And the inhabitants are referred to as Arcturians. Got it.

Makes more sense than alien hookers anyway. 

[SM]

It simply refers to sex with Arcturians (be they native or colonists).

"Accept the one you had was a male."

"It don't matter when its Arcturian baby."

I loved Frost. To bad he got it early.

[The Necronoir]

Arcturus = The Bangkok of outer space.

Simple as that.

Confucius say man who walk sideways through sliding airport door going to Bangkok.

(And coming up next on 1960s racist humour...)

Him and Wierzbowski both.

Confucius say man who walk sideways through sliding airport door going to Bangkok.

Is it still forbidden to enter a woman in a Bangkok temple?

[EarthHive]

I think some of the women we have been posting on the "hottest women" thread are fine examples of Arcturian poon-tang.  Just joking, fellas!

[The Alien Predator]

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but the new books do shed some light on the Arcturians.

Spoiler

River of Pain which is set a little before Aliens states that Weyland-Yutani has had Arcturian trading partners and that humans have met some other intelligent beings, some hostile and some friendly.

Sea of Sorrows which is set towards the end of the 25th century says that the Arcturians were the first intelligent race to have been discovered by humanity, and these encounters with other races inspired Weyland-Yutani and other companies to focus on technological advancement to make sure humans don't lag behind, maybe this trading with Arcturians helped.

When new alien ruins are discovered on LV-178, it is said to be the greatest discovery made, as great as the discovery of the Arcturians.

And now in the new Rage War trilogy, Tim Lebbon teases that they'd be mentioned again.

Another author said that there are more plans for them, I don't know what they have in store for this elusive species.

For what it's worth, I always imagine the alien from Dark Star is what an Arcturian looks like.

[Corporal Hicks]

I don't think it would matter...

Oh good grief... a beach ball with 20 vaginas and webbed feet. No. Just NO.
