The Top 10 Grievances of the Sci-Fi Characters Union
10> Silver spandex jumpsuits make our asses look like huge sparkly disco balls.
9> Much as we like to save Earth, the Universe and Everything on a regular basis, we'd like to get paid commensurate with our skill set. In other words, enough with the chump change! Show us some GRATITUDE! Monetarily, of course...
8> Those Borg scabs get all the best perks thanks to their unique approach to collective bargaining.
7> Half of the union has filed sexual harassment complaints against Lazarus Long, including his own past and future selves.
6> While we understand that spandex shows off our attributes -- for those of us that have them -- we find it really rides up in the crotch. So, NO MORE SPANDEX!!!

4> The gagh in the commissary is never served alive.
3> First transported down, first transported back up.

"Starring Rosie O'Donnell as Spider-Woman!"
Even the Sci-Fi Channel refuses to air it.
Isaac Asimov personally returns from the dead just to bitchslap the director.
Maybe the world was ready for a new Star Trek flick, but "Weekend at Scotty's" ain't it.
The title, "Shovel Over Your Cash, You Easily Manipulable Geekboy Fans," might be a little too on the nose.
When the aliens land their spaceship and extend the olive branch of peace, the people of Earth accept it and the credits roll.
Let's just say the green stuff coming out of your Vulcan's pants ain't blood.
Thirty minutes into the film, even the bootleggers have left.
Does *anyone* really want to look at a bare-chested 87-year-old Ricardo Montalban?
Fanboys are so picky about the whole "laws of physics" stuff.
The premiere is attended by Joel Hodgson and three robot puppets.
and the Number 1 Signs Your Sci-Fi Blockbuster Is Going to Bomb...
Your PR team is looking sharp in their new red Starfleet uniforms.
The Top 13 Lessons Learned From Comic Books
Never trust a girl who offers to be your holder for field goals.
While there is no cure for the common cold, one can overcome death via cosmic rays, magical incantations, or convenient plot developments.
Avoiding the unwashed on public transportation is easy: Just look for the stink lines.
Girls seldom make passes at secret identities who wear glasses.
The cost of super-battle clean-up inevitably falls to the taxpayers.
If your manager uses flowery adjectives, stage-whispered asides, and/or confers with a weirdly misshapen assistant while explaining your new project, odds are you work for a supervillain.
"I can communicate telepathically with sea creatures!" is a totally lame pick-up line.
A supervillian just out of jail can, in a few days, assemble an operation which puts NASA's entire space program to shame.
Erasing Betty's and Veronica's sweaters does *not* expose their breasts.
Never build a nuclear power plant anywhere near a genetics lab.
You can find out what your friends are thinking by reading the bubbles over their heads.
With great power come really impractical outfits.

The Top 9 Reasons Why Aliens Should NOT Land in Your City
9> Nome, AK - If you thought Pluto was cold...
8> Washington DC - Hard to do any anal probes since people's heads are in the way.
Editor's Note: LOL!!!
7> El Paso, TX - Aliens immediately granted work-release status, shipped to Florida to work in orange groves.
6> Hollywood, CA - People everywhere but no souls to be sucked dry.
Editor's Note: ooooo..the truth HURTS!
5> Tokyo – nothing smaller than Godzilla would be noticed.
4> Las Vegas, NV - Tentacles get stuck in slot machines reaching for extra coins.
3> Omaha, NE – Really? You need a reason not to land in Omaha? So you've gone through millions of years of evolution, developed the technology capable of traveling between galaxies, and you're looking for a reason not to land in Omaha? Fine, go ahead and land in Omaha. I'm sure we can put you to work at an IT support desk somewhere.
2> Durham, NC -- Because Mike Nifong would find some reason to put them in jail and prosecute them..
and the Number 1 Reason Why Aliens Should NOT Land in Your City ...
1> Rio de Janeiro - Wookiees would painfully find out what a "Brazilian" really entails.
Editor's Note: What an ODD and DISTURBING image to carry with us into Harry Potter Season. (THANKs, OB. Odd and Disturbing is what we COUNT on you for!)
