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...

Lost inside an adorable illusion and I cannot hide, I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah.

Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back. You're probably aware that Venice was (is?) a glass-making centre of excellence. If you have ever been there and taken the tour of the glass factories, you might be familiar with the sheer amount of coloured glass that sits at the bottom of the water there. These fragments of glass have been worn down and had their edges dulled by their time in the water, which makes them ample keepsakes for the ...

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. ...

Happy anniversary baby, got you on my mind

No it is not a webcam, but this photograph was taken a mere forty-five ago on my way in to work. Here you can see a good old fashioned Hobart autumn morning, with the rain pelting down and me getting drenched. This one was taken on the corner of Macquarie and Elizabeth, while I was waiting for the lights to change. Come on Ampelmännchen ! Today is my wedding anniversary, an apparently I need to be showering Jen with leather -related goodies. Va-va-vaVOOM! To you Jennifer, here is a poem I wrote this very morning. Anniversary I love you i love you iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE you I love YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou Happy anniversary
