Something I ran across in one of the blogs I check regularly. What would it sound like if
Neil Gaiman wrote for Dr. Who? This is an extrapolation of The Tenth Doctor and the classic dialoge from "Hamlet":



"To be, or not to be, that is the question. Weeelll.... More of 'A' question really. Not 'THE' question. Because, well, I mean, there are billions and billions of questions out there, and well, when I say billions, I mean, when you add in the answers, not just the questions, weeelll, you're looking at numbers that are positively astronomical and... for that matter the other question is what you lot are doing on this planet in the first place, and er... did anyone try just pushing this little red button?"


Not only is that all, that should be quite enough. :>

Absolutely and openly stolen from [livejournal.com profile] paanaagena's post to one of the LJ's many Dr. Who communities.[livejournal.com profile] loves_them_all I will state right off that I'm a Ninth and Tenth Doctor fan and know zilch about the preceding Doctors, but I find all of these funny none the less.

30 Things I am Not Allowed to Do on the TARDIS
[Based on Skippy's List, I made this up while procrastinating on homework. ]

1. I will call Donna by her given name and will not refer to her as “Juggs”
* Same goes for Peri

2. When some one says “It’s bigger on the inside”, the correct response is NOT “That’s what s/he said.”

3. The Master’s last name is NOT “Bater”, “Bates” or any other similar variation

4. The Doctor does not torture Mudbloods
*I am not a Mudblood

5. Asking the Doctor if he’s “down with the swirl” is entirely inappropriate, even more so when Martha’s in the room.

6. I will not ask the Doctor to write me prescriptions for Valium.

7. Neither will I ask for notes to get out of class or work.

8 I am not allowed to insinuate that Mickey’s on the DL

9. I will not refer to Donna as “fire crotch”
* Same goes with Mel
* And Turlough

10. Gallifrey is not a suburb of Belfast, nor does my grandmother live there.

11. I will not ask Rose how much she charges per hour.

12. I am not allowed to draw genitalia on the Face of Boe while he’s sleeping

13. I am not Billy Pilgrim, and I will not go back in time to various points in Kurt Vonnegut’s life and tell him I am. That’s just mean.

14. I’m not allowed to spray-paint tinfoil stars gold and use them to trick Aldric into doing my math homework.

15. I will not try to get Novice Hame to “yiff” me.
* Same goes for Brannigan

16. I will not plug my Ipod into the Counsole.
*ESPECIALLY not to play Scissor Sisters.

17. I am not allowed to program K-9 to say naughty things

18. The TARDIS is not the Doctor’s “Love Machine”

19. I am not a Fob-watched Time Lord, no matter how many fob-watches I collect

20. My pants do not contain the Rod of Rassalon.

21. I will not refer to the Doctor’s seventh incarnation as Pennywise the Clown

22. I am not allowed to say new companions are “takin’ our jerbs”

23. I am not allowed to tell Mel she puts the ‘tard in TARDIS.

24. I was not involved in the Last Great Time War, so it’s impossible for me to have flashbacks to it

25. I will not ask Leela for “jungle lovin’”

26. I am not allowed to call a new companion ‘Ensign Ricky’ when we’re exploring an unknown planet

27. The Doctor will not call me Marty, so I should stopping ask him to.

28. I will not produce K-9/TARDIS porn

29. I am not allow to ask if the sonic screwdriver has a vibrate option, and if so can I borrow it.

30. Giving the TARDIS pot/alcohol is not an “upgrade”


That is all...

Needless to say the Sci-Fi community is buzzing over the loss of Arthur C. Clarke. He was an incredibly prolific writer and visionary. So many people know of his movie "2001 - A Space Odyssey", but not as many know his wonderfully intense short stories. I thought I'd share my favorite one here - one that kicked me in the gut the first time I read it as a young teen and has stayed with me all the years since.

I present to you "The Nine Billion Names of God" by Arthur C. Clarke.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.


[FWIW: I have always wanted to do this as a theater-in-the-round piece. I've had the staging and tech done in my head for years. Just picture the finial scene as the two final actors are on stage, walking up a catwalk leading toward the back of the room. They stop and look up, drawing the audience's eyes upward. And one by one, the individual overhead lighted stars go out...

Yep. Gotta do it.]
