CRAFT CORNER DEATH MATCH!!
THE THEME: MIND CONTROL
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT BRAIN SLUGS. BRAIN SLUGS ARE GREAT. LET’S ALL WALK AROUND THE BRAIN SLUG PLANET NOT WEARING HELMETS. DID I MENTION I LOVE BRAIN SLUGS. BRAIN SLUGS ARE GREAT.
Here is a confession that will probably make all the nerds turn away in disgust: while I LOVE old futurama, it just hasn’t been the same since it came back. Much like a zombie!
And speaking of zombies, my first thought when this week’s theme was finialized was this: Zombie Ants! But let’s face it, GROSS. Also I don’t want to antagonize out new fungi overlords.
For this theme, there are three other competitors:
The Harpy!
Yermits!
Sarah Apple!

CRAFT CORNER DEATH MATCH!!
THE THEME: SCHOOL BUS DRIVER HALL OF FAMERS
Gentle readers, let me tell you a true story ripped from the pages of my own life.
I probably had a number of bus drivers in my formative years, but I only remember one. She wore a kitty cat sweatshirt, from which she had removed the arms. Her hair clung to her scalp like a felted sheep, and she brazenly smoked her cigarette out the side driver window.
Her name was Thelma.
The very first day she picked us up, she screeched the bus over to the side of the road, yelled at us to be quiet, and when we didn’t comply, roared:
“My name is bus driver Thelma AND I AIN’T NEED NO LOUISE TO DRIVE YOU OFFA CLIFF!”
I live in awe of that woman.
For this theme, there are three other competitors:
The Harpy!
Yermits!
Sarah Apple!

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”

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.

The four bots of the apocalypse: Death, Pestilence, Famine and Rambo. I mean, War.

Besides the fact that it could totally eat you, I think it would be kinda fun to ride a T-rex. More fun than a stegosaurus, that’s for sure.

I wanted to write something clever that demonstrated my knowledge of up-to-the-date pop culture, like “dude just found out that {insert popular television show character} just {sad plot twist}!!” But then I remembered that I’m horribly behind all the current happenings because of this smallish needy human thing I spawned about three months ago. And then I realized that the kiddo makes THIS EXACT FACE every time I have to change her clothes. Which is about three five times as many times as you’d think.*
And I just totally turned Robot a Day into a Mommyblog. Crap.
*parents-to-be: when people say that babies spit up, they mean A LOT. When I say A LOT, pretend that it’s in big flashing lights that are ten stories tall. THAT MUCH. YES, REALLY.

Dentures are the kind of thing that’s funny until you need them yourself.
I’d like to mention that I still find them HILARIOUS.
