"Qui plume a, guerre a." — Voltaire

From the Sotto Vault: BSG Haikus

Sorry, loyal fans of The Terror From The Other Dimension! (all four of you), the serial will return tomorrow in its regularly scheduled blog slot. I and Mrs. Sotto Voce have been moving our two Sotto Kitties and all our accompanying Sotto Gear from the Canton neighborhood of Baltimore (motto: “I See Drunk People”) to Annapolis. Now that the first round of empty boxes has been hauled to the curb and all the framed artwork is lined up ready for hanging by the chimney with care, I can begin returning to the more leisurely pursuits.

In the meantime, to tide you over, here’s something that I found in a dusty corner of my computer.

Battlestar Galactica Preamble Haikus *

45,197 survivors
Same as last week
Quick, write a battle scene

44,154 survivors
Four story lines
Wanted: more writers

43,320 survivors
43 minutes per week
Two words: deleted scenes

42,642 survivors
Not much of a gene pool
Can controls be flipper-operated?

41,247 survivors
Missed last week’s episode
Now hopelessly confused

40,583 survivors
Looking for Earth
Are we there yet?

There are many copies
And they have a plan.
And the writers have no idea
What it is.

There are many copies.
And they have a plan
To make you watch The Plan.

Twelve Cylon models
Seven are known
Six guns a-shooting
Five go-old rings

Twelve Cylon models
There are many copies
Yet they are all boring
