I have the Discovery Channel now, and it's terrifying: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, April 7, 2009 at 3:14AM 
It's that time again, kids! And it almost snuck up on me AGAIN. One of these weeks I'm going to be blithely looking through my reader, thinking, "Why does everybody have these old RTT posts up?", and then going, oooohhhhhhhhh.
(I'm thinking that will be some time in June. Does that work for you guys?)
Let us begin!
This morning I thought I should start my week out right by scaring the crap out of someone, so I sent this link to Steenky Bee. You know how everyone keeps sending me zombie stuff? Yeah, that's what I did there. If you're afraid of the impending robot attack too, I wouldn't click on it. It's like HAL and that girl from The Ring got together and had a kid. And then stuffed it into a Chuckie doll.
Anyway, she retaliated by telling me about how the Japanese (Honda, to be specific) have invented a device that you attach to your head and it reads your thoughts. And then bosses a human-shaped robot into doing what you thought about. So you can like, close the trunk of your car with YOUR MIND.
Is this really necessary?
I mean, how long until someone (*cough*therobot*cough*) hacks the technology and uses it to control your mind?
...I'm sorry, I had something else important to say, but I have this overwhelming urge to go and buy a Civic.
I wonder what ever happened to that atom smasher they built under Switzerland? You know, the one they were trying to use to recreate the Big Bang that had the potential to suck us all into a black hole instead? A bunch of nuclear physicists stated their concerns and then we never heard any more about it. I mean, I think we'd notice if we were suddenly BAMF'D into an alternate dimension.
Or maybe not. Maybe there are some alien beings in our old galaxy wondering, "Hey, what happened to that nice little blue planet? You know, the one full of apes with cell phones?".
Chocolate you huff. Can it be that good?
They should invent alcohol you huff, too.
Oh, wait...Lysol.
Why aren't the inventors of huffable chocolate, mind control devices, and Snuggies all working on a cure for cancer?
Do they not have the space? I'm planning to clean out my garage, they can come here. Seriously. I have wine, and some Oreos.
That bag I posted about yesterday? It was this one. I was sad I didn't win it, too, but uh - I'm pretty sure it's not very "me". Or something. If I chant that long enough I could almost believe it.
Oh well, next fashion show.
(I love how the site suggests I pair it with a $300 wedge sandal and a $1600 satchel. Oooh, yes, why don't I pick up TWO? You know, for emergencies).
And this week there is no segue. How random. So! You know what to do! Or, if you're new here, in brief: grab the button. Put it on your random-style post. Leave your deets with Mr. Linky. And then visit some of your fellow bloggers for a peek inside their brain!
Um, well their thoughts. Not their brain. That might be icky.
And always, don't forget to go visit co-host Kelly at Baby Boogers and leave your link too! Happy Tuesday!

That bag was quite yellow. It actually yelled 'yellow!' when I clicked the link. Not me either.
I recently found lots of fun 'cheap' bargains in Bazaar. Like the $200 hairdryer. Oh yes I want one of those!
Huffable chocolate, I don't now that could be good. Never can tell till you try it.
And I actually didn't want to be first to link again this week. Weird. If I didn't do it now I'd forget though.
That is the creepiest robot ever. Ever. Ever.
ha, a $600 bag? I could make you 20 very unique "custom couture" bags for that price. Every color of the rainbow.
Why is it ok to pay that much money for a purse? Beyond me.
Happy Tuesday, thanks for adding another reason for me to lie awake at night. That robot is cute but I can tell he's evil and would kill me in my sleep.
I wasn't aware you could huff Lysol but that sounds like the most sterile drug use environment, I don't think I'd condemn someone for using it since I'm such a germ freak.
Wow... whats next.. vibrators that can find the g-spot just by thinking about it?? Sign me up!
That bag was really bright. It almost blinded me
mmmmmm chocolate
I just want my robot maid like in the Jetsons. I willing to risk the whole mind control thing if it would clean my house.
This was a particular good example of randomness this week - I like it.
That place in Switzerland is still going strong. Fermilab in Batavia, IL was the atom smasher for the US and it closed because there was no need for it any more.
The stuff I learn just by reading the morning paper!
I loved the bag! I'm sure they'll be plenty of knock-offs soon so don't you worry. Sleep tight knowing that there are sweatshop workers all over the world creating that bag, affordably, just for you to buy out of some trunk in a dark alley somewhere!
I'm not on board with the huffable chocolate. That's just weird.
Dude, I'm seriously dying over here. The black plague is killing me. Can I come and live in your garage so you take care of me?
This is my first time playing.
Huffable chocolate, hmmm, could I still taste it?
I wasn't to worried about the atom smasher, if something bad happened, Switzerland would be the first to go and after that I am sure Bruce Willis would have come to save the day:)
a $1200 satchel? i'll never understand why people spend so much money on stuff like that!
"Apes with cell phones" is the funniest thing I read all day!
Bear says that the old men in the Snuggie commercials look like pedophiles that are trying to hide their evil in monk robes.
OK..I am officially creeped out by robots now. I wasn't before but now I am. Thanks for that.
And this is my first time being random with you (even though I posted it on Sunday). I've seen these posts around and I've always enjoyed them so I thought I would participate this week. And being random suits my scattered brain.
Love your blog by the way ... very cool design. I'm sure I'll see you again.
huffable chocolate?
hmm..I am down w/ that...
and while that bag was cute. yellow is a bit much..lol..and so is 1200 bucks..
and how lazy can we get as a society?? When we can exercise w/o moving, i'll get excited..lol..till then, i think I'll close my own trunk..lol.
Just wait. Before you know it, huffing chocolate while wearing your snuggie will be all the rage.
I'm sure Bono would save everyone from the robots. Because isn't that what he does? Save people? No? Huh.
Keely, didn't you hear that google has created a robot with artificial intelligence?
http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/cadie/tech.html" REL="nofollow">Link
It has taken over Google and is soon going to take over the world.
I heard the syncotron (sp?) in Saskatoon was working on that whole atom smashing thing. It wasn't the most reliable source who told me that, so I just sort of ignored it and assumed it wasn't true.
Maybe a google wouldn't hurt....
Your mind control robot sounds like the first step into a Wall*E world (yes, I do see a lot of children's movies. Why do you ask).
Those people on the chocolate video you linked to all look like they are doing drugs. I think I would just rather eat it.
Huffing chocolate? You can't fit a truffle through your nose! TRUST me.
There's lots of people (ifthatswhattheyare) running around with artificial intelligence trying to take over the world.. I hear there is a big concentration of them in Washington DC.
Huffable chocolate? Hmmm...I may have to try some of that out.
Robots don't scare me. I've watched irobot enough to know that at least one of them has a heart. And Will Smith will always be there to save the day!
I consider chocolate a whole body experience. You smell it, taste it, use it as a facial then wear it on your hips. Huffing it makes no sense after all that.
Have you ever felt like walking thru a really nice neighborhood, knocking on doors and saying "what EXACTLY is it that you DO?" Because somewhere my life went very wrong. While others are buying $600 purses, I'm looking at a $24.99 one at Target and then thinking, "Nope, too much" and buying a 7.99 t-shirt instead.
And what about Y2K? or the Conficker virus? None of the big worry things seem to happen! (I guess I should be glad about that, but it's kinda like, DUDE, what happened?)
