Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wow, shiny new thread. Love the title. I need some kicks.

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

I've never been on Route 66. But I live near I-66.

I've driven on parts of it. And on I-40, which parallels Route 66.

Should we be talking about that "new car smell" and arguing over who gets the window seats?

Holy crap, we've got robot avatars now

There's a big meeting across the country. What do you do?

1960: You fly there.
1980: You have a conference call.
2000: You do a video conference.
2010: You fire up your robot avatar at the location.

Pardon? Yep, it's for real, folks. A company called Anybots has created a prototype of a robot that will serve as a person's physical presence in a remote location. You log in through the Internet and after a few keystrokes the 'bot, called QB, comes alive, leaving its charging station and ready to meet, brainstorm, greet visitors or just generally creep people out.

“Not dead yet!”

Wow, what a morning to stumble into!

Yay, Gracie, being home! (Noah, be a good brother-- she's there for keeps, bucko!)

Yay, Kalli-- but she can't possibly be a year old already. Nuh and uh.

Yay, msbelle on house offer!

Cash, get better ~ma for your mom--

And in case folks haven't peeked into GWW, Amy sold Cold Kiss to Germany yesterday!

Sorry. You were thwarted by a robot avatar.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I live right off a state road 66!

I should be picking up the house and getting Liv ready to go out rather than enjoying a bit of political schadenfreude. But I can never resist. I lived in this guy's district when he was elected and I've disliked him ever since.

I've been on part of Rte 66. I have a pic of a sign for Hwy 666, which I think has been renumbered.

Yes it has. Sad, really, that they renumbered it before I had a chance to appropriate a 666 sign.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Huh... really didn't see the new topic coming....
