We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I want a robot that's a big rolling ball that has doors that flip open and task appropriate arms come out. Or legs, to navigate tricky terrain. And it can have speakers, and its whole surface will be e-paper.

I don't know what I want it to do yet, but I suspect there's no rush.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I'm pretty sure that they invented that already, ita. And it nearly killed Mr Incredible.

Did I mention it's also an MP3 player? I don't think that one played music.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just want a robot that can clean my house. None of this Roomba bullshit -- I want something that does the dishes and puts them away, hangs up my clothes, deals with my mail, and like that, exactly like I tell it to. Which is why a robot would be better than a person, paid or spouse.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Will it do my laundry and mop and clean the litter box? If so, sign me up! I want one!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just want everything in my home to be wirelessly networked and programmable. And I should be able to control it with the implants in my brain.

It will do all of those things! Actually, if it's Rosie Jetson, I think it'll make your dinner, too.

Rosie Jetson threw a lot of attitude. I don't think I want that in my robot.

Good call, ChiKat. Really, I don't want it to be all that humanoid. Just super effective.

ION, I just watched that Letterman clip with Bill O'Reilly. I really hate him. Can my robot also be an assassin?
