10> Our TopFive haiku: They suck like a rogue black hole, Worse than Vogon poems.

9> Marvin’s not happy. Brain the size of a planet. Hates this poem, too.

8> Star Trek fan fiction: Kirk, Spock together naked. Gods, I might vomit.

7> None of this is real. It’s all in Philip Dick’s head. He liked to use drugs.

6> Total rewrite of “Battlestar Galactica”? I liked the first one.

5> Easier it is When imitating Yoda To write a haiku.

4> Soon I leave the Earth, The stars my destination. But first, a brothel.

3> Greetings, cheerleader! Be awed by my fake Spock ears. Let us pon farr now.

2> Chekov reports in, “Klingons off the starboard bow!” Same as last week’s show.
