NOTE FROM DAVE:

I don’t know if any of you have noticed,
but some of our SF characters are getting
up there in years, or at least the actors
that played them are. No doubt they will all
end up complaining to each other.

Science Fiction Retirement Village

9> “Depressed? Why should I feel depressed? Just because my lightsaber doesn’t ignite like it used to…”

8> “Sure I miss my old Captain’s chair. But what I really want is a bowl of prunes for my Captain’s stool.”

7> “You can’t do this to a Space Admiral! I’m calling Starfleet!”

6> “They DID IT!!! They FINALLY DID IT!!! YOU MANIACS!! YOU RAN OUT OF TAPIOCA!!!”

5> “Oh, don’t mind that strange sound in the hall. It’s just Nichelle’s boobs scraping the floor.”

4> “What? How far?” “No, not how far, Pon Farr!” “Not far. I think we’re almost there.”

3> “This is not the soiled Depends undergarment you’re looking for.”

2> “Now, I can never keep you guys straight, are you the one that beat the Kobayashi Maru, or the one that did the Kessel Run?”
