The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.


Here is my question to you, do robots poo?

What a hoot! This is a great shot! Hope everything came out alright!!!
Doc said…
Yes, they poo. It come out like little nuts, bolts, and screws.

Neva, he is struggling with the concept of using the toilet. After a great start, he is showing some reticence. Maybe the robot head will help!
Kris McCracken said…
Doc, I could cope with that. This robot's poo smells pretty bad. Hence sitting him on the toilet for as long as possible!

You ARE going to be in sooooooo much trouble in about 12 years...& I speak from experience. Glad no one can tell who this robot is. (BTW terrific headress).
I didn't hurry this (boys do take longer unless you can use the old country method of leaving them in w/o nappies - do you call them that? - in the back yard all summer)...and as we drive A LOT here it was convinient not to have to stop (well, we did have to but not immediately).
Kris McCracken said…
Tash, it could be anyone under that mask!
Sue said…
Is this the robot you leave to do your blog when you are busy??

Aaah...toilet training...I forgot how tedious it can be! But always keep in mind the wise words spoken to me when I was bemoaning one of my boys lack of immediate success and which helped me not to be too disheartened....
"He'll do it when he's ready. Besides, have you ever seen an eighteen year old still in nappies????"
Kris McCracken said…
Sue, a) yes it is that robot. b) we were spoiled by immediate success, so the regression has hit us hard. And c) "have you ever seen an eighteen year old still in nappies?" Welcome to the drug and alcohol sector...
Sue said…
His regression may have something to do with the fact that he has subconsciously registered a youngish interloper who gets to wear a nappy and people are changing that... so why can't he do it too!???

obviously robots DO poo
Kris McCracken said…
Sue, I just think that he is messing with my head.
Kris McCracken said…
Kylie, does Wall-E poo?
kylie said…
there is only one robot you need to worry about.....
Dina said…
I guess they do; seeing is believing. Great shot of the robot.
Kris McCracken said…
Kylie, Metal Mickey?
Kris McCracken said…
Dina, they're hard to work with, robots. Very stroppy.
USelaine said…
Sue's diagnosis is spot on. Completely makes sense. Scents, even.
Sue said…
Kris...so long as he never messes ON your head!!
Kris McCracken said…
Elaine, you really don't want a whif of this scent...
Kris McCracken said…
Sue, he did pee on me FIVE times in less than three hours once...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

This is the moon. Have I mentioned how much I adore the zoom on my camera? It's Theme Thursday you see, and after last week's limp effort, I have been thinking about how I might redeem myself. Then I clicked on the topic and discover that it was BUTTON. We've been hearing a lot about the moon in the past couple of weeks. Apparently some fellas went up there and played golf and what-not forty-odd years ago. The desire to get to the moon, however, was not simply about enhancing opportunities for Meg and Mog titles and skirting local planning by-laws in the construction of new and innovative golf courses. No, all of your Sputniks , "One small steps" and freeze dried ice cream was about one thing , and one thing only : MAD Now, I don't mean mad in terms of "bloke breaks record for number of scorpions he can get up his bum", no I mean MAD as in Mutual assured destruction . When I was a young man you see, there was a lot of talk about the type of m...

But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave.

Can you believe that it is time for Theme Thursday already? Today we are not talking chocolate , toddlers , mess or ignominy . No, today we're dealing with ANIMAL . Now I could have posted a picture of a possum, numbat, wombat, wallaby or any other furry killing machine that roams our fair isle, but I figure that I'd use a far more deadly creature as an example of an animal . Some people - I know them as fools - have chosen to embrace that highfalutin idea that human beans are for some ungodly reason superior to animals. Of course, what these imbeciles seem to forget is that were are simple animals ourselves ! Anyone with a baby, toddler, teenage boy or Queenslander in their household could tell you this. Look at Henry [above]. One chocolate frog in the back of the car on a sunny day and all of a sudden it's Elagabalus meets Bacchus for a quick shandy in the Serengeti and we're down on all fours carrying on like a cat in heat. Fair dinkum, anyone who chooses to ...
