At least.. the lilt of the Kiddie one is, right out of a bedtime story by Percy Dovetonsils (the Irrepressible, Never-again Ernie Kovacs) with overtones of, Not Terry Gilliam but ___

(And I've er 'written' the winning Sci-Fi one, at least twice :-) Probably we all have, just after the Navy NT-fiasco:
Science fiction: "Kirk's mind raced as
he quickly assessed his situation: the
shields were down, the warp drive and
impulse engines were dead, life
support was failing fast, and the
Enterprise was plummeting out of
control toward the surface of Epsilon
VI and, as Scotty and Spock searched
frantically through the manuals trying
to find a way to save them all, Kirk
vowed, as he stared at the solid blue
image filling the main view screen,
that never again would he allow a
Microsoft operating system to control
his ship." - Mike Rottmann, Reno, Nev.


But not published :( though I did win a caption contest for a weird looking display to be 'named') - in a now defunct tech mag.

Hmmm - maybe Next year!


Thanx,
