Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Home Is Where The Heart Is #5

This is the most awesome bathroom evah! That is, if you think an awesome bathroom requires pink carpeting on the floors and walls, and everything that isn't pink is covered in gold. And if you're Jayne Mansfield.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh, and I did not cry at today's xkcd. So there. Instead, I kept telling myself, "It's not really a self-aware robot who's confused and hurt at being abandoned." That kept me from crying.

That was my exact response. "Anthropomorphism isn't real! Anthropomorphism isn't real!"

Poor little Rover.

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

That was my exact response. "Anthropomorphism isn't real! Anthropomorphism isn't real!"

But he could become Real if we love him enough...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But he could become Real if we love him enough...

The Velveteen Rover.

Just don't love all his radiation shielding off.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

But he could become Real if we love him enough...

But under the current circumstances, wouldn't that be cruel.

Rover's self awareness blooms. "I'm . . . me. Where am I? Where is everyone else? I have this communication device and I'm sending off data. Hello? Hello?

I'm so lonely.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I kept thinking of WALL-E. Poor little bots.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I haz a sad now.

Did you know that some people are proposing that we send people to Mars... to stay? For the rest of their lives?

Sending people on a one-way trip to Mars would be far cheaper than sending them and bringing them back. Of course, if you're stuck on Mars for the rest of your life you really gotta hope those resupply ships don't get eliminated during budget cuts.
