Bot Ross
Just kick back and enjoy the happy trees. | |
Office-stress. Overtime. Traffic jam.
After braving all these things, after a
long,
tiring day, you finally come home. You
toss your coat in the corner, press the
'welcome home' button on your remote.
Soft sixties easy-listening music starts to
play, and your highly sophisticated
animatronic
Bot Ross comes to life. A
full-
sized robot, standing behind the easel in
your living room, an exact copy of the
legendary Bob Ross. Paint ready, and
even
the mouth moves. His fatherly voice
welcomes you.
"Hi! How was your day? You want some
mountains?"
"Fine, thanks Bob... hmm... No, we had
mountains yesterday. Maybe you can do
something in a forest? Maybe with a little
river?"
"Righty, gotcha chief. Now, let's see..."
You mix yourself a gin-tonic, and relax
on
your couch, leaning back for the next
half-hour while the RossBot paints you a
soothing little world.
For those of you not in the know.

Nono, we're going for the full experience
here, of having your own Mr. Ross painting
live in your living room. Plus, you get to
keep the painting and any squirrels that
might turn up. |
|
| |
yes agree, a Rolfbot. just as long as he doesn't start chuckling... |
|
| |
<adopts metallic monotone voice> CAN... YOU... SEE... WHAT... IT... IS... YET...?</> |
|

I'm sorry, we don't do refunds. We do have
an extensive reprogramming course
available at a cheap rate though. |
|
| |
Funny that the guy's been dead over ten years and his programs continue to gain a wider and wider audience. There *is* something very relaxing about watching him paint, though. |
|
| |
I thought this was gonna be Ross from Friends. (Five funnier Robots not included). |
|
| |
...and just put a happy, fluffy little bun right about, there, wasn't that easy. |
|
| |
This is all a bit twilight-zoney. You mean you people across the pond had a Rolf Harris clone you weren't telling us about? What does this mean? How did it happen? Did he sing 'Stairway To Heaven' in a very inappropriate style? I need closure on this. I suppose Rolf Harris is the marsupial version and Rob Ross is placental. Is that it? Convergent evolution? |
|
| |
Hey, when did [etherman] sneak back in?
Hi [em]! |
|
| |
Changed the name... think it might work
better this way. Also to prevent further
sitcom-mixups. |
|
| |
How do you go about botting someone? |
|
| |
I was wondering about that. |
|
| |
Who's this Rolf Harris then? (too lazy for
google ;P ) |
|
| |
Yeah, I'd rather have a can of Boss-Rot... |
|
| |
Brings a Family Guy quote to mind: |
|
| |
"We'll just put some little happy trees over here, and that will be our little secret. Ok? And if you tell anyone, I will cut you..." |
|
| |
Bot Ross: How was your day today?
Trickletracks: Oh, you know, I managed to follow orders well enough.
Bot Ross: Have you had a chance to relax yet?
Trickytrax: Sure. Sure. As much as can be expected
Bot Ross: I've a new one for you. This one's called seagulls on the beach!
Trickytracks & friends: Do it to it! |

Have a feeling that this may be unbelievably menacing like those laughing clowns in glass boxes they have at fairgrounds. {{{shudder}}} |
|
| |
Having said that, I do have a soft spot fer ol' Bob so you can have a bun painted with a fan brush and a finger-wiggle, my friend. |
|
| |
Thanks for the link, [Wagster]. God, he
looks so menacing. |
