It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.


Isn't it always the way? You come home, you've lost your voice, you have to get the dinner on and feed the tired an cranky masses, and there's a bloody robot in the kitchen!

Not only that, but the robot seems to have developed a thing for the rubbish bin. It's very creepy.

Cute, did he say take me to your leader?
KL said…
Cuuutteeee :-). Is that the handiwork of Jen? Seems like that.

Great photo and post.

Came here by way of Lisa in NZ.

Maybe the robot was built with a random garbage disposal part or two....

Great colors.
Kitty said…
haha, how cute?!
how do you not laugh out loud all day at these tykes?

Henry's costume is just in time for Purim today!
I didn't see any robot kids on the streets of Jerusalem today. Henry and Jen could come here and give lessons in creativity.

Of course! Robot are in my kitchen ALL the time.

Oh, right! I'm lying. But I would LOVE to have such a robot in my kitchen. And that's the truth.

Wonderful costume!

Ash, he has his moments.
Kris McCracken said…
Kylie, very rarely he does.
Kris McCracken said…
Jim, no, but he did demand grapes...
Kris McCracken said…
KL, Jen and Henry made it together.
Kris McCracken said…
John, it could well explain the attraction.
Kris McCracken said…
Kitty, I often laugh at them. Not so much at 5 am though.
Kris McCracken said…
Henry would like purim, I think.
Kris McCracken said…
Jackie, it was easier than when he was nude, put the box (minus eye holes) and ran straight into the wall!

Three times.
Kris McCracken said…
Megan, I never even knew that robots had toes.
Kris McCracken said…
Babzy, sometimes he appears to malfunction though. Especially around dinner time.
Kris McCracken said…
YEGTG, well, the robot is beginning to have some use in the kitchen. Just the other day he helped me make damper. And he always helps mix the pancake batter.
USelaine said…
He clearly is blessed to be growing up in the Jen and Kris household.
Kunterbunt said…
How nice that those robots have naked little feet ,-))) How very much human.

Elaine, he might tell you different. Just this morning, he felt it supremely unfair that I'd stop him from drawing on the table (in a literal sense).
Kris McCracken said…
April, maybe he's a cyborg?
The Clever Pup said…
that's a great costume. You should have this image put on a t-shirt
Kris McCracken said…
The Clever Pup, and sell it on e-bay?

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral

There was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong.

Here is a self portrait. I’m calling it Portrait of a lady in a dirty window . Shocking, isn’t it? However, it is apt! Samhain , Nos Galan Gaeaf , Hop-tu-Naa , All Saints , All Hallows , Hallowmas , Hallowe'en or HALLOWEEN . It’s Theme Thursday and we’re talking about the festivals traditionally held at the end of the harvest season. Huh? No wonder Australians have trouble with the concept of HALLOWEEN. For the record, in my thirty-two L O N G years on the planet, I can’t say I’ve ever seen ghosts ‘n goblins, trick ‘n treaters or Michael Myers stalking Tasmania’s streets at the end of October. [That said, I did once see a woman as pale as a ghost turning tricks that looked like Michael Myers in late November one time.] Despite the best efforts of Hollywood, sitcoms, and innumerable companies; it seems Australians are impervious to the [ahem] charms of a corporatized variant of a celebration of the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darke

In dreams begin responsibilities.

A life at sea, that's for me, only I just don't have the BREAD. That's right, Theme Thursday yet again and I post a photo of a yacht dicking about in Bass Strait just off Wynyard. The problem is, I am yet again stuck at work, slogging away, because I knead need the dough . My understanding is that it is the dough that makes the BREAD. And it is the BREAD that buys the yacht. On my salary though, I will be lucky to have enough dough or BREAD for a half dozen dinner rolls. Happy Theme Thursday people, sorry for the rush.
