One does what one can do to cheer up a depressed robot.

The towel is being used, quite prettily, by another forum member at the moment.

You really are expecting too much from a vastly intelligent yet chronically depressed robot. It took all my effort to try to enjoy the bath. I suppose it's nice to not have paintball spats and sticky notes on my backside, but we all know it won't last.

No no, not that towel! For the love of gods (BSG), that towel is the only thing keeping my office security software from blocking me out! I meant the one from your movie - and I think there were also some books. Leave the wet one in the bathroom, but be sure to hang it up to dry.

At last! Um, can we watch?

I think Zelda (judging by her avatar) is next up with the towel. (I'll buy a ticket to that!)

Reduces productivity at work
Takes away time spent with family
Rodent infestation
Insect infestation
Exposure to eldritch horror
Avatar Madness
Organ damage (specifically, the spleen)
Use of the term lisuese liseuse (yeah, like that makes all the difference)
Corrupts otherwise respectable members into Karma Whores (added due to popular demand)
Repetitive Stress Disorders from constantly clicking User Profile and/or Who's Online

To join the lawsuit, simply click the "Karma" button located at the bottom of this post.

Speaking for MobileRead on this matter, we acknowledge that we have a responsibility to protect a certain class of users (we use letters to distinguish the various classes, we denote this particular class as "L" Users) from their own unutterably silly choices.

Therefore will be instituting a strict policy of Protective Banning for all participants in this thread, in order to protect them from the negative consequences of membership here.

NO! Not ME! I'm not even done with the po --

Would that be " L " as in
loopy
loony

would the ban be retroactive and encompass all on land , water and in the air , including of course the nth dimension and last but not least the cosmological vacuum .

or is there a get out clause for the karma chameleons ??

And down the rabbit hole of self-referential recursive loops goes our good friend NatCh. Fortunately, I have Paradox Protection installed. No tricking this Android with statements like, "True or False: this statement is False". I could have banned myself, taken a nap, retrieved my towel, and changed my avatar 10 times without breaking a sweat. Or a sweatmeat, for that matter.

pshrynk · 05-07-2008, 12:59 PM

So... we got banned and now we're in a limbo state where we can post to one another?
