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!!!
5> Dental benefits for “Aliens” exclude any sets of teeth that
extend more than 6 inches in front of the face.
4> The gagh in the commissary is never served alive.
3> First transported down, first transported back up.
2> Medical insurance does not cover having one’s DNA rewritten,
despite the regularity of the event.
falsely portraying aliens as hot human babes in tight
clothing. We’re bug-eyed. We’re monsters. And we’re damned
proud of it!
