I wonder if he runs on curry or burritos?

Day 324 – Praying Mantis Bot
Those of you who follow my twitter might have noticed that I asked for some robot ideas this week.
And then I didn’t use any of them. *
Instead, I was checking out the other Robot-a-Day’s blog, and upon seeing his golden mantis, realized that I am quite remiss in my terrifying insect quota.
And dude, these things are totally terrifying. Remember when Xander almost got sexed up and eaten by an inexplicably giant english-speaking one? That could teach science, even though the whole premise of the episode was sorely lacking in any scientific plausibilty at all? I waited all season for that stupid egg at the end of the episode to hatch.
*ha, sorry! Maybe next week.

Day 323- Strong Man Bot
What is with moustaches and old-timey strong men? Is the moustache like +1 strength?

Day 322 – Lobster Bot
I don’t have much to say about this one, except LOOK AT THIS TERRIFYLY GIANORMOUS LOBSTER. Now you never need to sleep again.

Day 321 – Dog Walker Bot
I think we all know the most important part of the dog walking ensemble is the poop bag. And probably more than one.

Day 320 – Jigsaw Puzzle Bot
Look, I know jigsaws are supposed to be one of those universally liked things, but I am really really terrible at them. Seriously. I put aside all the edge peices, all the bits of sky, and try to do them first, and somehow they just never all fit together.
I also have really terrible jigsaw puzzle luck; there is always a piece missing or duplicates or half of one puzzle and part of another.
Well, either I am really terrible at them or someone is having a really epic practical joke at my expense.*
*i wish I had thought of this, actually. Can you imagine the awesome, evil, and gleeful dedication this would take?

Day 319 – Opera Singer Bot
If I’d really been planning ahead, I would have saved this bot for the very end! Then I could be all like “it’s not over until the fat lady… oh. nevermind.”

Day 318 – Short Life Expectancy Bot
One would think that if you wore a red shirt, you’d look around the red shirt dorm in the starship, and at all your red shirt friends, and realize that there were a hell of a lot less of you than you started with. And then maybe you’d think “hey, it’s time for a new career!”.

Day 317 – Puppet Bot
Look at it. Just…. look at it. I’m tempted to carry it around and let it talk for me for awhile. Time to brush up on my (non-existent) ventriloquism skills!
I should probably post a video of it in action!

Day 316 – Amelia Earhart Bot
I was all set to say that I’m a little afraid to mail this bot out because it might go missing in transit, but then I read the Amelia Earhart Wikipedia entry. And then I realized that she was actually totally kick-ass and amazing, and that a joke about her disappearance is actually kinda lame. And unfortunate. And probably not very funny.
Poop jokes are still fine though, right?
