The Day the Earth Stood Still

Anybody have a good source for cheap toy robots? [Read]

They'd be a good alternative to Lite-Brite Mooninites, which are so hard to find these days, and Kermit the Frog has already been done to death.

Seriously, this is all it takes?

At least Klaatu had a real robot with frickin' laser beams and everything...

UPDATE: Vanderboegh had a similar reaction.

Makes one wonder how the Denver PD would have reacted to a dog turd with a paperclip in it. Hmmm.

I'm thinking it was some college "art" student's end-of-semester project.


Good thing it wasn't one of these. They don't NEED lasers.

Oh David, you did this entry just for me, right?

I grew up enjoying my Robot Commando; see here.

That was the best. Anyone else have one?

And by the way, it's Klaatu, or Mr. Carpenter, OKAY?

I wonder how the TSA would respond to this or this?

Good to now that tipping the outhouse over and lighting a bale of hay on fire at the North end of town to attract the local cops can easilty be replaced by 8 inch robots!!
