Here’s what it’s come to: Aric and Lemmo, standing on a desert island with a palm tree made from parts of the flying half-bug that got Aric there in the first place, in a sea made from juices that spurted up from the ground because Lemmo knocked his half-bug into a moutain stage prop and it shattered the earth… ground… floor, whatever. They watch as a robot who fooled Lemmo into thinking it was Aric, summons a tiny robot to distract them while he runs away.
It appears to have been thrown down, as per a smoke bomb.
Precisely like a smoke bomb, really. Which makes me want it more.
Yes indeed, this is surreal. It is almost as though the writers wish to thwart our guesswork at every turn.
o/~ Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my robot gal!
All of my tubes and wires, my processor’s on fire!
If you refuse me, they will reboot me; you’ll hear my startup tone,
So robot baby, make my IP your home! o/~
I am humbled, The Alanber Man.
So if Lemmo is the one most willing to wear his pants, does that make him the blue jean baby?
No, seems that’s Aric. But Aric doesn’t like pants, and I’m not sure we’re improving on this premise here when we thereby make Lemmo the L.A. lady.
I just read this again and this is one of a few that actually made me laugh out loud uncontrollably, except I had to laugh quietly cuz people in this residence are asleep… So it was like a smoker’s laugh or something. XD
I only just noticed that the little robot isn’t doing its job. Aric and Lemmo are still watching Automaric run away. You could interpret his face as being like, “Hey!! Look over here! WHY AREN’T YOU LOOKING???? AHHH the plan is failing!!!”

HAHAHAHAHA! Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Where can I buy these little robot friends? I definately need one… or maybe two… heck, I’ll take a dozen!

Does Aric plan on using that piece of the bug as some sort of sword?
January 22nd, 2009 at 7:33 am
This is an exceptionally surreal moment, even by the standards you have already set for yourselves.
January 22nd, 2009 at 7:34 am
OMG! The Little Robot Friend is a dancer! …He is dancing, right? I can just imagine Aric and Lemo sitting back and enjoying a little robot theatre…

I fully advocate the use of word “egads”
January 22nd, 2009 at 9:03 am
Ok, I think that Rob and Elliot may have made a new companion!
January 22nd, 2009 at 9:05 am
Woah. “Surreal” doesn’t fully describe that.
Here’s what it’s come to: Aric and Lemmo, standing on a desert island with a palm tree made from parts of the flying half-bug that got Aric there in the first place, in a sea made from juices that spurted up from the ground because Lemmo knocked his half-bug into a moutain stage prop and it shattered the earth… ground… floor, whatever.

Oh, and everyone’s Jesus.

Well, that settles it.
They are inside a giant simulated world.
With some AI problems.
The robot is meant to monitor them.

March 16th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
HAHAHAHAH!!! That one actually made me laugh out loud! I can just hear, “CAN-CAN, can you do the CAN-CAN? Can you do the CAN-CAN…?” LMAO!
April 12th, 2010 at 12:32 am
This is the #1 funniest thing I’ve seen all year.
Though, I’d really love to see a T shirt with this on it , so I can wear it and make others see it.
