Day 323- Strong Man Bot

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

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 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?

Day 305 – Jumping the Shark Bot

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.

Day 281 – Evil Mastermind Bot

(when you can see the brain, that means extra evil geniusness. Seriously, look it up. It’s so true.)

Day 278 – Farm Bot

Really, the robot uprising will totally turn once they realize that if they take over our farms they can force us the eat nothing but turnips. Who needs a bloody revolt when you can win through age-old parenting methods? They could just be all like “nothing but cauliflower until you BOW BEFORE YOUR ROBOT OVERLORDS” and we’d be all like “crap”.

Day 276 – Napoleon Bot

It’s been awhile since high school history class, and I realized that I really only have two hazy recollections about Napoleon: he was a french dude who did some stuff, and he was shorty mcshortshort.

So, I thought I should probably fact check this, mostly because all I really remember about this unit was that the teacher played ABBA’s “Waterloo” for us (warning, the first bit of that video will totally give you seizures. And not just because of what Bjorn is wearing.). So I went where we all go when fact checking is needed: the Wikipedia.

The consensus:

1. Napoleon: TOTALLY FRENCH
2. Napoleon: TOTALLY A DUDE
3. Napoleon: TOTALLY DID SOME STUFF
4. Napoleon: TOTALLY WHO ABBA WAS SINGING ABOUT
5. Napoleon: NOT ACTUALLY THAT SHORT AFTER ALL.

So there you go. Mr. Bonaparte wasn’t labouring under a need to prove himself because of a height complex, he was labouring under a need to prove himself so he could take command and rule the world. Just like every other General-type dude in history.

Day 274 – Rapunzel Bot

I always have wondered if rapunzel was a dude, if it would have been a beard that was climbed instead of long hair…..

Day 269 – David Suzuki Bot

Normally, I try to stay away from doing bots based on real people, but my brother’s been pulling for a David Suzuki bot for a long while now.

Though I don’t think this particular image is what he had in mind.

I’m tricky like that.

Don’t get it? David Suzuki is a Canadian Super Genius of Science and Being Awesome. Famously, he appeared clad only in a leaf on the cover of TV Guide in 1999; at which time he was 64. I’m not really sure what that has to do with saving the planet, though. But hey, if he ever decides to take up a superhero costume, we know spandex is a good option.
