The Top 10 SF New Years’ Resolutions

10> Yoda: I will stop talking like a backwater rube and speak
using normal grammar like every one else. My resolution this
is. Damn!

9> Spock: Less Pon, more Farr.

8> Professor Xavier: Finally get around to entering that Captain
Picard lookalike contest.

7> Gaius Baltar: Well, I succeeded with last year’s resolution,
so I guess I’ve got to go for a foursome this year.

6> Qui-Gon Jin: To start listening to that old Jedi Council a
little more closely.

5> Amazonian Bikini Vixens from Planet Playtex: We must stop
kidnapping those sexually irresistible Earthmen, especially
the studliest ones who contribute to Internet humor lists.

4> The Doctor: Actually get the Tardis to go where I ask it to
go. Just once.

3> Luke Skywalker: I resolve to stop fighting with my dad and to
stop kissing my sister.

2> Don West: I resolve, when no one else is looking, to beat the
living snot out of Dr. Smith every chance I get.

and the Number 1 SF New Years’ Resolution…

1> I, Worf, resolve to finally realize my dream of becoming a
professional underwear model!
