Hooray! Someone put me on YouTube! Self-post. Now everybody DANCE!
Actually, does it count as a self-post if I wasn't the one who created the original link? Can we get a ruling? Or a witness? Or a what-what?

I'll give you a Wooooo and a Hoooooo! is that good enough?

You should get that left arm looked at.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

You belong in LOLBOTS!
I took a couple screen grabs - the first one shows off the Bot better...

...but the second one takes in more of the other people in the parade...

Now, all you have to do is
(1) tell me which one to use
(2) come up with a LOL-ic caption (I have some ideas, but I'll let others go first)

We'll get back to you when we can find someone who gives a flying fuck.

Robots like to observe protocol. All protocols.

So fucking bitchin'!

Wow, that's amazing! DANCE ROBOT.

I don't really know you, eamondaly, but now I suddenly sort of love you. Well played.

Now THAT'S a robot I could dance with!

Wow dg, you're cranky tonight. First you tell cortex he has a small penis and now you insult a dancing robot?

Yay! Go eamondalybot.

I'm sure Hector the robot could also show you some great moves too.

Can we get a ruling?

I can give a ruling.

Ready?

Okay, here goes:

Everyone! Off with your pants! Now!

What if they were already off?

But... but I'm still at work!

then you are within the limits of the law, and can carry on normally as you usually do.

bmarkey, you're skating on thin ice here, but I'll let you slide THIS TIME if you unbutton the top pants button OR the top two shirt buttons to achieve heaveage. Await further instruction.
posted by taz 27 June | 01:19
Decisions, decisions. Top pants button won't work, as I'm wearing a belt; top shirt buttons make it look like I should have a coke spoon dangling in my chest hair.

How about if I promise to drive home pantsless?
posted by bmarkey 27 June | 01:32
*sigh*

okay, this time. But I can't go make exceptions for everyone, you know, so, um, if you could just quit that job and get one that will accommodate a pantsless state, that'd be great.
posted by taz 27 June | 01:37
Wow. THAT got weird.
posted by mudpuppie 27 June | 01:39
Well, I'm at work too, so I can't take off my pants and I'm wearing a tie, so undoing the buttons won't work either. Ditto the coke spoon in the chest hair thing, too. Yuck!

What a bunch of fucking killjoys we all are.

Wow dg, you're cranky tonight. First you tell cortex he has a small penis and now you insult a dancing robot?
Well, I'll cop to the suggesting cortex has a small penis (although you started it), but I wasn't insulting the robot - I haven't even seen it because I'm at work (work = NO to youtube). I was saying that nobody gives a fuck if it's a double-post - not here, anyway.

Honestly, sometimes I don't even know why I try.

SPD pulled me over on the way home; the officer wanted to know why I was driving with my pants flying from the radio antenna like a gray flannel flag. I told him that taz told me to do it.

I'm supposed to report for counseling next Monday.
posted by bmarkey 27 June | 02:20
Yeah, I went against my better judgement and took mine off while I was waiting at the train station. Now I'm on the train on the way home and, while it's kind of pleasant sitting here with my notebook on my naked lap, I'm getting some odd looks and I think someone is speaking to the driver on the intercom at the other end of the carriage.

I'm not sure that this blind obedience to taz is such a good idea, somehow.
posted by dg 27 June | 02:32
Faith, boys! In the end, you will see that I have it all in hand. Remain firm!

you don't hear specklet whining like this, do you? Why can't you be more like your bunnysister?
posted by taz 27 June | 04:16
eamondaly, that is entirely fantastic.

I mean, first, you had to decide you were actually going to be in the parade. And, then, you had the idea of being a robot. And then, you actually made a kick-ass robot costume. And then, you actually went and danced down the street in your robot costume.

I don't know about anyone else, but that's at least four giant leaps outside of my creativity level and comfort zone. Absolutely inspiring.

Also, I love the person who shouts, "Hey! Robot!" at the start of the clip.

I think your dancing could've broken the First Law of Robotics if anyone got too close to those crazy flapping arms!
posted by chuckdarwin 27 June | 06:50
Yeah, the derby girls had to keep a very wide berth; I couldn't see a damn thing out of the teeny tiny eyeholes.

Also: robots don't wear pants!

Lemme guess - you were programmed to corrupt the youth of America.

By any chance are you Adam Sandler's Gay Robot? ;)
