For the robot on the Jetsons?
Mmhmm.
Watching Iron Man. It's good, but it's no Dark Knight.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
They definitely have a pet specific Roomba. And you know, there's this weird trash can thing that senses when there's a pile of dirt brushed up next to it and vacuums it in. Surely there's a way to program a Roomba to dump its dirt next to the vacuum trash can thing, and we'd never have to clean again muwhahahahaha...

Wow, he looks like he's doing Graham Chapman's one-man wrestling match routine.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
They definitely have a pet specific Roomba.
Apparently the Roomba Dirt Dog is also excellent at picking up pet hair (as long as you DON'T have carpet -- if you have hardwood/laminate/tile/linoleum/snooty marble floors/whatever, the Dirt Dog goes to town). It also costs way less than a vaccuming Roomba, since it's only a "sweeping" Roomba.
One day, if the nuns ever pay me for the newsletter, I'm planning to get a Dirt Dog (and name it after the nuns).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So I guess I should be a bit embarrassed that I agreed to go see Twilight this weekend with a friend of mine. I could say I did it because she's been down and needs the outing. I could say I did it to avoid grading. But I kinda did it because I'm curious.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hmm. Maybe I want a Roomba for Christmas! Some of them are not as expensive as I would have thought.
I just realized why my day is dragging so badly -- I had my 2pm meeting at 11am!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I want a Roomba, but Aims is convinced I'll try to mount a tiny death-ray on it and terrorize the cats.
She's not wrong.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh - who asked which dog walks across the backs of its herdees? It's an Australian Kelpie. I would also like to share this pic of an American Akita.
