Conversation with a friend

Me: swampus and I are going to build a robot!

Kat: Huh?

Me: We're building a robot! Like on battlebots, but non-violent.

Kat: I'm glad I didn't meet you in high school. We would never have talked to one another.

You should totally build a robot. I have plans for several but the parts seem rather steep. I have the plans for a homemade Segway that costs around $1200. Cool but I would rather walk.

I would have totally talked to you in highschool. You still rawk.

I just ordered 123 Robotics Experiments for the Evil Genius by Myke Predko. I'm very much a beginner, but it looks and sounds like fun. I used to love watching Battlebots. I even had a favorite robot: Mauler. :)

Aw, thanks! So do you!

If you build a robot not capable of leveling large buildings I would not have talked to you either. But I think you were lying about the non-violent part, wern't you. Thats why I'm still talking to you.

Um...

Do really evil thoughts of scaring the cats with it qualify?

I'm a beginner, so I have to start small. The plans for mechagodzilla will come later.

skalagrim January 13 2006, 19:40:45 UTC

Well...ok. But just this "one" little one. Then on to rule the world!

You should build a roomba that explodes when it hear's the word "nukular" and plant it in the white house.

Hahahahahahaha!

herbpixie January 13 2006, 18:49:19 UTC

Hmmmm...not a bad idea.

*note to all federal agents reading lj: This is a joke. I have no plans of building said robot, nor do I have the skills to do so. All Hail His Holy Bushness.*

you know that robot that vaccuums the floors? the flat little circular thing? my ex's dad, well, and his company/team, built that. yeah, she was friggin rich.

O O O O O OOOOOOOO

Can I come watch?!?!?!?
(As in stick my fingers in it and try to take over the build because I'm a freak like that)

herbpixie January 25 2006, 02:34:39 UTC

You can come and play, but if you try to take over, I'll feed you to Spike.

thegreyman January 25 2006, 14:46:07 UTC

YIPE!! Yes mayam.
