Ten thousand years of Roboshrub.

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.

I'm Back

Whoa, did time just slip up there? Seems like just yesterday I punched a stegosaurus in the knee and stole his roller skates. I attribute my lapse of several years to a bad taco.

The Blogosphere is indeed a changed place. For one thing, it's no longer called the Blogosphere, outside the hipster subculture. That's another thing that's sprung up, those hipsters. Let me tell you, I was decrying the mainstream zeitgeist when those sheeple were still in light-up sneakers, waxing their cowlicks for the third grade class photo. And what did it profit me? Self-satisfaction isn't very satisfying if you can't throw it in the faces of all those who irk you, past, present, and future. It's the future irkers I really can't stand; they sit in potential judgement, and always will.

So, how about that weather? Here at Roboshrub Incorporated we're doing our best — our absolute, level best — to contribute to global warming. When our founder's great-great-great-great-grandfather, Hiram Plutarch "Radical Rex" Roboshrub, left the company to his grandson because his son was an unreliable, amoral crackpot, his dying words were: "By golly, I sure love Venus. Try to make Earth more like it, won't you?"

At the time it was thought that beneath its bright clouds, Venus was a woodland paradise. Now we know better, and we've answered Radical Rex's cryptic clarion call to chlorinate the chaotic oceans. That's why it was just so disheartening when that pesky polar vortex slithered across my America like a snake on a skating rink. Fortunately, my Director of Heat assures me that global warming just means more extreme weather, not perpetually warm weather. I disputed that, and immediately hired a new director who has vowed to change the climate to be more favorable to my viewpoint. It's already working, if my divining rod is any indication.

In conclusion, hello. It's been great seeing you people again — except for you (you know who you are), but I've got to run. They're opening a KFC in my honor in Beijing, and if I'm late I won't get a free biscuit. Parting advice: keep a sweater nearby at all times, especially the beach. And get a haircut, you hippie.

Personally, as someone living in New York, I wouldn't mind things being a few degrees warmer.

It's good to see you back in action.

Gyrobocop-- Your writing is sublime! Please keep posting. And yes, I too have been weathering the onslaught of modern young folk co opting Converse Sneakers, the same ones I used to get ridiculed for wearing back in the day when I wore them because I loved The Ramones. Yes, the same period who ridiculed me are now wearing them, as well as their offspring. Hey, the more the merrier! But the price increase in this trend is horrifying. Joey is turning over in his grave, singing, "Gaba Gaba NOT!"

In other news, my hometown has been blanketed with 33 inches of snow this week, give or take twenty inches. Get that diving rid in order, dear brother robot.

Enjoy your biscuit.

;)

@Jin: Why can't it be both?

@Professor X: It sucks double for me because I had to come back to New York after being in New Orleans for a week. I went from shorts to pea coats in a day.

@Bhakti: That's taller than some children, and I think I'll use "snowfalls" as a term of measurement from now on.

@Angel: Great to be back!

@Cabe: I remember getting Percy Gloom after reading a review on BoingBoing. Really great artwork, loved the story too.

Hi.
