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?
Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship. Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I can see this is going to be a thread-long earworm.
