Full disclosure: We informed the President of the identity of our final Cylon Roommate. He had to know, and couldn’t be distracted during the G20 summit.

WASHINGTON—According to sources in the White House, President Barack Obama has been uncharacteristically distant and withdrawn ever since last month’s two-hour series finale of Battlestar Galactica.

“The president seems to be someplace else lately,” said one high-level official, speaking on condition of anonymity. “Yesterday we were all being briefed on the encroachment of Iranian drone planes into Iraq, when he just looked up from the table and blurted out, ‘What am I supposed to watch on Fridays at 10 p.m. now? Numb3rs?’”

“I haven’t seen him this upset since Admiral Adama realized that Earth was actually an uninhabitable wasteland,” the official continued. “Or at least that’s what he told me. I don’t actually watch the show. It’s not really my thing.”

If Cylons were made just like humans, then surely they were programmed with the ability to be annoyed.

Some of the top Cylon pet peeves, according to a recent survey:

• Chinese food never quite fills them up.
• While all Cylons are terrific dancers, ironically, none of them can do The Robot.
• Number Ones: Jerks, all of them.
• Depressive Centurions looking at them with their “puppy-dog” ocular scanning systems.
• If they fart, it fraks with their TV reception.
• Rust.

Makes them a little less scary, doesn’t it?  All cute with their annoyances.

Everyone is cutting back these days, and Cylons are no exception.  A huge number of Cylons are getting laid off of their assemblyline or assassin jobs, so they’re having to re-examine their budgets like the rest of us.

Here are some big-ticket and luxury items they’re saying “no frackin’ way” to:

• Big Screen TVs
• Extra shot of petrol in Starbucks
• Biodiesel
• Vacations to Pikon
• WD-40
• Sprinkles Cupcakes
• Oil Changes Every 3,000 miles

We’re all in this together, folks.  Unless of course, you’re a Cylon infiltraitor… then you’re on your own.

Don’t let their good looks, extreme smarts, and calculated amount of wealth fool you. They’re Cylons. And they’re out to get you.

10. Owen Wilson (but ironically, not Luke Wilson)

9. Shaquille O’Neal (actually two Cylons)

8. Lindsay Lohan (… half a Cylon)

7. Herbert Hoover (early model)

6. Stephen Hawking (no comment)

5. Tom Cruise (big time)
