A few skits from Harry Enfield's Television Programme, Mr Chomondley-Warner was a snobbish, upper-crust early 20th century television presenter, (played by Jon Glover) who, with his manservant Greyson (Enfield), would expound on various issues of the day and attempt to uphold the British Empire's values.

Nowhereville's Bridge to Nowhere
I had just lined up my stance, getting ready to throw a bomb into an Axis SS Bunker near a V2 Rocket base. I took a deep breath and....wait....this is definitely poor timing....
My implanted emergency alarm triggered. The alarm was a serious one, indicating an existential threat. I quickly noted my current spacetime coordinates and returned to the TARDIS.
The Emergency was NOT exactly an existential threat, but rather than scold my good friend Crap Mariner, I kept silent and went to his aid. After all, the robot DID pull me from a burning airplane a few years back. I suppose I owed him a few favours.
Arriving at the Nowhereville Bridge to Edloe, a chill went down my spine. Edloe was indeed missing! I turned to look at Mariner, who shrugged and tried to suppress tears and a quivering lip.
I turned back to the large body of water where once was Edloe. I wondered if this could be the diabolical work of my cousin, Dr. Zoetrope Dreamscape. I immediately went to work.
Luckily I was carrying my Crossbow outfitted with a spacetime computer and patented Red Rider compass in the stock.
After a few minutes of analysis it was clearly an anomaly, but a natural one in our peculiar universe. It was NOT a man-made disaster. I sighed in relief.
The land mass of Edloe was "thrown" into a future time where it basically "sits" in place. At some point in the near future, our timeline will catch up to "when" Edloe exists and spacetime will continue normally. I explained my findings to Mr. Mariner.
Unfortunately the poor android/gynoid was too confused to comprehend advanced science and jabbered on about some sortof "virtualized hosting" and "datacenter" non-sense. Poor fellow!
It was clear Mariner needed a distraction.
I stood up and gave the gender-confused robot the business card of a friend of mine.
"What's this?" Mariner asked.
I gave him a kiss on the cheek and replied, "I've not seen so much emotion from an automaton before. That's the casting director for All My Circuits."
I wished him luck and returned to the TARDIS.

Montgomery Scott In The 24th Century
Kelvington wrote: "Well here is my little parody of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, using Scotty of Star Trek fame from the Next Generation Episode "Relics". This was a lot of fun trying to make it look exactly right. Special thanks to Paul Sibbald, who did a dead on William Conrad. Hope everyone enjoys this, it's probably the most fun I've had in while. Plus I made a couple of tweaks in this one...."

Space:1899

Vote Zoe 2008 - The most tolerant of all candidates
Zoe Connolly vs John McCain and Barack Obama
A Connolly Administration would be the most tolerant and inclusive White House administration in American History. In addition to the appointments of Asians, Hispanics, African-Americans and Women, I'll include Tinies and Furries to cabinet level positions. Can either of my opponents promise this?
No!

Voting for Zoe is a vote for change
Zoe vs Obama and McCain
How can voting for another politician be a vote for change?
A vote for an avatar from a virtual world is a vote for real change!
Here are more thoughts about change...
Change, change, change, and change.
I have some change in my purse.
There may be some change under the seat cushions.
Does this make my ass look fat? Should I change?

Vote Zoe 2008, Commercial # 1 (3 Reasons)
Zoe vs John McCain
I'm younger than John McCain. Way way younger!
I was first rezzed in the virtual world of Second Life on January 21, 2007.
Zoe vs Barack Obama
I have experience running a virtual air force. And even though the Royal Caledon Air Force is virtual, that's *still* far more military experience than Obama has in Real Life.

I look better in a dress. More eye candy for America and the World!

Zoe Connolly 2008
This 2008 Campaign season is a series of historic firsts with the first viable African-American and Female candidates for President of the United States (POTUS).
But if we look beyond these exciting events and look to the issues, we see a few problems with Obama, Clinton, and McCain.
On the Democratic Party side, Barack Obama makes countless voters swoon over well crafted but empty speeches about change and Hillary Clinton - now mostly despised within the party - drops from the race for nomination.
Meanwhile John McCain disappoints conservatives within the Republican Party by turning his back on their movement. The media-darling Maverick Republican now treated like all other Republicans because he dared to run against Democrats for the Presidency.
I believe there is a third approach that will gain support among Tolerant Progressive Conservative Libertarian Transhumanist Christian Agnostic Buddhist Pro-Military Gun-Owners with Low-Carbon Footprints. In the next few weeks I will outline my vision for America's Future.
I hereby announce today.... My name is Zoe Connolly and I'm running for President Of The United States. I am the first female avatar from a virtual world to run for the US Presidency.
So if neither candidate excites you, don't sit this one out, vote for Zoe Connolly as a write-in candidate. It's better than voting none-of-the-above. And I'm way hotter than Hillary.
