Fangs for the memories.




In today’s state, Roboshrub Incorporated is an entity entirely devoted
to the execution of what normal people would refer to as “bad ideas.”

It was the creator’s original idea that all concepts, whether
useful or not, contribute to the global subconscious level of progress
for the human race. Therefore, we contend that no idea is an unfit
idea, and vow to act on each and every one of them.

Product #0014-85c “Baseball Fever Vaccine”

Did you catch it? Baseball Fever, that is. Many people suffer from Baseball Fever, which is actually a misnomer. The correct term is “Hyper-Fanatical Sport Spectator Syndrome” (HFSSS), and is caused not by exposure to the sport of Baseball, but to the fire mites that live inside each baseball. This infestation has in recent years claimed the lives of several thousand people across the eastern seaboard. During the last world series, the entire city of Boston nearly succumbed to Baseball fever. A cure has been long sought so as to prevent the spread of fire mites, believed to also be responsible for the decline in Baseball viewership.


Don’t blame massive steroid abuse, blame fire mites!

Thanks to various breakthroughs by our subsidiary aquatic components, a way to douse the fire mites and cure what servicemen in World War I dubbed “The Shining” has been found. Through a complex series of binary circuits and pressurized capillary systems, we have divined a way to suppress the physiological effects of full-blown HFSSS. This would not be possible without Dr. Karen Lawrell’s groundbreaking thesis, “The Watercooler Effect.” We know now, thanks to Dr. Lawrell, that every time water is released from a watercooler, the air reverberates, flaying fire mites onto an unsuspecting baseball skeptic half a world away.


We’ve known for years of the mutagenic properties of water coolers.

With the miracle advent of the Baseball Fever Vaccine, we can now observe the fire mites in their natural habitat, the verdant forests of southern Borneo, without running the risk of infection. This will allow us to devise a more permanent solution to the chronic outbreaks of Baseball Fever, hopefully before it results in more deaths. Do not apply the Baseball Fever Vaccine if you have already been inoculated. Keep out of reach of umpires.

only the stupid succumb to fire mites the world is better off without or rather its better for them to be obssessed with how to make their team win the world series than with how to blow up the most countries

What about when MLB says "Baseball Fever -- Catch it!" in their ads, though?

They're not trying to hurt us are they?

This is almost as successful as the wars on Terror, Drugs, and immigration.

I don't believe that Major Legue Baseball is trying to hurt anyone. But you have to admit that they make money off the disease. Ghastly, it is.

I met an umpire once.

He came up to me, and in a thick,
eastern European accent, said

"I vant to suck your glove."

Weird eh?

That's a clear mark of umpirism, which is related to vampirism but only affects umpires.

Only one in ten out of ten, I'd wager. The process of statistical analysis run roughshod over the more noble practice of fortune telling.

I've never caught baseball fever, but I have gotten tennis elbow. Are you working on anything for that?

We've got a few things in development.

Nothing the public will accept, but it's still an impressive array.
