YERMITS VS. ROBOTS: BATTLE OF INCOMPREHENSIBILY CUTE THINGS, OR MAYBE THINGS DRESSED AS OTHER THINGS WE DIDN’T REALLY TALK ABOUT WHAT TO CALL IT.
This is week five. The Theme: Spinsters and Trollops.
I chose to go with: COUGAR BOT.
This is one of those bots where I know, I just know, that it’s something my mother is going to ask me to explain. As in “What’s a cougar?”.* I pre-emptively googled cougar, and mostly it’s just pictures of Demi Moore.
* If you don’t know what a cougar is, you should probably check out this link: THIS IS WHAT A COUGAR IS
Here is Jenny Yermit’ssuperbly fantastic entry:
Spinster by day, trollop by night!
NEXT WEEK’S THEME: POTATOES. I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING. IT IS POTATOES.

YERMITS VS. ROBOTS: BATTLE OF INCOMPREHENSIBILY CUTE THINGS, OR MAYBE THINGS DRESSED AS OTHER THINGS WE DIDN’T REALLY TALK ABOUT WHAT TO CALL IT.
This is week four. The Theme: BATTLE READY.
I was a little worried when creating this that I might have gone too far. This robot is, after all, wearing the skin of its Yermit enemy into battle.* That’s… well, really taking this battle thing a bit far, yes? Robots. Their primary progamming is to be a jerk.
And, okay, I know. Ewoks as back-up? Ewoks are tiny. Tiny, and adorable. They are little, chirpy teddy bears. Probably, in imperial space, their pelts would be prized as moustache toupees for those with bald upper lips.
But damn! They can kick some stormtrooper butt. Using nothing but logs and vines. And okay. Stormtroopers are a special kind of stupid, let’s face it. But still. Ewoks. The are at the perfect level to hamstring their foes. Um. assuming that their foes are approximately stormtrooper height, of course.
And they’ve got the robot’s back. That’s gotta count for something.
*no Yermits were harmed in the making of this challenge.
Here is Jenny Yermit’sfantastic entry:
It is wearing robot guts. HILARIOUS. I love that we both went for the same concept. Also, clearly, we’re both deeply disturbed.
NEXT WEEK’S THEME: oh wait we haven’t decided yet. TO BE ANNOUNCED!

YERMITS VS. ROBOTS: BATTLE OF INCOMPREHENSIBILY CUTE THINGS, OR MAYBE THINGS DRESSED AS OTHER THINGS WE DIDN’T REALLY TALK ABOUT WHAT TO CALL IT.
This is week three. The Theme: SURVIVOR.
Now, I haven’t watched survivor since the very first season, so this is all I remember… tiny bathing suits and rat-eating. I’m assuming not much has changed.
Here is Jenny Yermit’s hilarious entry:
Look at those details! The blood and injuries, the grizzled hair, the beard… and she even set the scene with that log and the grass. Setting the bar pretty high there, Jenny!
NEXT WEEK’S THEME: “BATTLE READY”

What is with moustaches and old-timey strong men? Is the moustache like +1 strength?

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.”

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!”.

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?

So… I guess this means the bots are going downhill from here, folks.
I hope you are looking forward to Day #306: Silver Bot, Day #312: Robot bot, and Day #322: Stereotypical Robot a Day Bot.
