   Ways Science Fiction Fans Spent Their Summer Vacations   
      
   Spot-cleaning our Jeri Ryan posters.   
      
   Watching the approach of Mars, looking for signs of alien launches.   
      
   Intensified letter-writing campaign to have the "Enterprise" theme song   
   changed.   
      
   Finished reading *all* the books of the "Dune" saga. Again.   
      
   Perfecting their "Buffy" costumes for Halloween.   
      
   Cruising the chat rooms and opening a can o' whup-ass on anyone who says   
   they like "Enterprise." Okay, diet, de-caf, but a can o' whup-ass   
   nonetheless.   
      
   Obviously not going to TorCon so George Martin could autograph my copy of   
   "A Feast For Crows."   
      
   Following the "Creations" convention tour.   
      
   Getting a "Cordwainer Smith Rulz!" tattoo.   
      
   Fantasizing about how much better high school would have been if only we   
   had had a phaser and a sexbot.   
      
   Avoiding direct sunlight.   
      
   Summer is no time for vacations, man! It's Convention Season!   
      
   Same thing I do every summer: Worked on my monitor tan.   
      
   Cross-referencing "Enterprise" episodes with previous series' episodes'   
   inconsistencies.   
      
   Pre-August 26th: Waited in joyful anticipation for "The Two Towers" DVD.   
   Post-August 26th: Began waiting in joyful anticipation for "The Two Towers   
   Extended Edition" DVD.   
      
   "Speaking Klingon" Sleep-Away Camp.   
      
   Happily fantasizing about going back in time and telling Asimov, Sturgeon   
   and Heinlein precisely where they were wrong.   
      
   Began the translation of the Bible back into the original Klingon.   
      
   Finally got up the nerve to kiss a girl -- if a poster of She-Hulk counts   
   as a girl.   
      
   Making a homemade anal probe.   
      
    and the Number 1 Way Science Fiction Fans Spent Their Summer Vacations...   
      
   Waiting in line for Episode 3, just like last summer.
