Well after a little photo manipulation by our crack team of humor specialists here at SFSignal, we have a shot of Mr. Doctorow in an appropriate pose for a Star Trek episode. I felt that we would be remiss if we did not poke a little fun and offer up a second caption challenge after the success of our previous endeavor (or lack of success depending on how you look at it.) So without further ado, I present Ensign Doctorow and be gentle folks.

"Hi, I am a no-talent clown who has achieved nowhere near the success of mainstream sci-fi authors, however because I cannot shut the hell up on the internet, other bloggers treat me as if I'm a big name in science fiction. Oh, and check out my awesome Apple tattoo."
Is that too long? How about:
"Excuse me, which one of these buttons erases me from history?"

"Ummm, excuse me, Captain? I know you're busy trying to talk that sentient computer into destroying itself, but which one of these buttons lets me upload to Boing-Boing?"

So much hate for Cory. I'm saddened and shocked.
Keep it up.
And if I didn't know any better, I would think that Josh is a sock puppet for Trent.

"Um, I've got a question. Sorry, I know I'm new here, but, ah, why are we meat?"

I've got three:
1: "Life-forms....hap-py lit-tle life forms..."
2: "I'm allergic to Retinox 5"
3: "transmitting coordinates under Creative Commons Licence now, captain."

"Okay, all in favour of abandoning the peace mission to the Klingon Empire in favour of finding a good wi-fi connection so we blog our latest complaints about copyright, raise your hands!"

"Why yes Captain, I am volunteering for an away mission."
"Why is everyone looking at me like that."

JP, that comment from "Josh" was not (sock puppet) me. But it was damn funny. ![]()
