Martyn Crofts's appearance on Britain's Got Talent is the best thing I've ever seen on TV: he put a pot on his head and did a wicked Dalek impersonation while singing (shouting) a version of Roger Miller's "King of the Road," ("King of the Tardis"). Britain does indeed got talent.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Was I alone in expecting something to the tune of “If I Were King of the Forest” from “The Wizard of Oz”?
beemoh

I misread the post as “Roger Mellie’s “King of the Road,”" and was expecting something very, very different.

Simon’s an a-hole.

  Because that act would have gone far, right? I loved it, but once you do the chorus once, the joke has run its course.

    Probably, but his initial reaction, in opposition to the audience’s, clearly showed Simon doesn’t get geek humor.

      Actually, I thought he *did* get it, but then his sense of superiority took over and he realized sci-fi wasn’t cool enough, so that’s when he pushed the buzzer.

        LOL I think you’re right; that’s why he rushed to cover his mouth ;)

        Well he is the only person that when he goes in for a colonoscopy they only ask him to take off his shirt..
