Very very clever. You cracked me up five times here, Mark:

"it’s not as cool as going to the future, but you take what you can get." ( It is what it is.)

"he escapes the factory—in plain sight—disguised as an automobile." ( Smart!)

"I decided this was probably a bad thing". ( You think?)

"I’m morally and legally off the hook, except for the breaking and entering and destroying property part." ( Oh, that!)

"I didn’t do it for accolades. I did it for donuts. ( Who wouldn't...?)

FYI: I subscribe to two stacks that are already having robots do their voice overs. Urrrgggh. I delete them. Somehow it seems like a lack of integrity, but what do I know?

Robots making our lives easier is just making us lazy. Unless they are bringing us donuts. That is a valuable service.

Thanks, Sharron. 🤓

I'll be dead by then... rats!

Nah. But if you had a donut robot, it would definitely shorten your lifespan. 😉

You have reached a new level of imaginative hilarity, Mark. This has to be one of your best efforts. I laughed all the way through. Comedic gold.

Thank you, K.C. That Carlton is a wacky one. 🤓

Sharron Bassano's avatar

The wacky one is either Carlton or Starlin. And I am thinking it is not Carlton.

Thanks, Richard. More category silliness to come.

Or did a bug in Terminator Robot cause it to become the doomsday assembly robot it was meant to terminate?

Mark Starlin's avatar

Those computer bug will get you. Which is why Carlton also wrote code to terminate software bugs. 😉🤖
