Dude, Robots are awesome!

Oh yeah. You know it’s true. They really are.

I can’t really figure out what they are for other than just coolness. Yup. Just coolness.

Well, on one level or another….coolness. The robots. The people who design them and build them are usually geeks. Outcasts from society. Isolated hermits who forget to sleep because they are soldering metal and silicon together (yeah. I don’t think you can solder silicon but that’s what makes these folks mad geniuses….that’s coolness in it’s own. Hmmm.)

I was attempting to build my own robots as a kid, actually. I did sort of finish it. A cylinder robot. Ugliest robot that ever had the pleasure to exist. I felt bad…put it out of it’s misery after about 2 weeks of looking at it. I had to admire it’s coolness first. I loved the blinking lights that I pillaged from an original Simon game.

I can remember being inspired by watching Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot. Holy crap! I would have given anything to have been him! That huge robot under his command.

Sigh. So, Johnny Sokko’s robot could kick my robot’s ass. Actually, the giant robot would laugh until his screws came out at my pathetic little bucket of spare parts and imagination.

There really is no denying the power of a robot, though. I’m really excited at the potential that robots could actually have a purpose these days. Like robots for medical and dental students to practice on. Of course those robots creep me out.

Yeah...she really is a robot!

Do I really have to say more about that?

Hell no!!!! I don’t want a robot that I could help across the street like a boy scout helping an old lady with her bags of produce. No no no…there is something just wrong with that. There is something wrong when I surf the net and find a robot that is a dead ringer for my freshman English teacher. I wonder what ever happened to old Fish Face, anyway. Doesn’t matter….different blog.

I’ll tell you what I want!!! Shiny!!!! Shiny metal or plastic!!! Yeah Baby. I want to see it lumber around like it’s wearing freshly tanned leather pants! I want it to sway from one side to another and watch with fascination when the bad boy doesn’t fall over.

Here we have my little friend Elektro...in a moment he will demonstrate how he can squash tin cans under his mighty girth and shoot a death ray out of his stomach. First, he wants to thank all of you Ladies and Germs for coming!

Wonderful bunches of metal that look like their fondest dream is to someday be a real boy. Luckily they will never be able to apply a mud mask to their aging faces. And I am breathing a huge sigh of relief!!!

Robots. Awesome ROBOTS!

Ok. I know. I am now borderline obsessive. Ok…full blown obsessive.

Just one more. My favorite robot. This is the robot that I had in my head when I built my poor little toilet shaped robot. Behold:

Now there’s a robot that will kick ass, crush cans, and eat death rays like Pixie Stix.

Ok….where’d I put the scrap metal and my tools?
