I'm always acting like that. I don't really care. Except when I'm at this client and things are f**ed up, than I get serious.

Exactly. If I can do those things, why do I need 3PO? We know he doesn't do domestic things like cleaning. And, somehow, I don't think I'd trust him with cooking. R2, on the other hand, I would have installed with a digital video recorder so he could playback shows with his holographic projector. Since he's an AI based robot, he would know to start recording a show right at the beginning and end whenever it actually ends since TV networks don't seem to follow the "on the half hour/on the hour" programming rules anymore. And he'd block all commercials. He could fix all busted appliances in my house. Work on my truck. Diagnose my computer problems and be preprogrammed with all the necessary serial numbers and passwords to make software copies


I would trust 3PO to do such things, yes. I'd trust him to cook, he's not incompetent, he's just misenderstood and sometimes a coward. He would not be afraid to cook or to clean up the house. And about R2, you would use it as a tivo? And how would you plug him in your computer? I'm not sure he has a USB2 port. And you wouldn't be able to understand what he says... I say 3PO, for sure.

I read in some anime magazine that Serena Usagi is a slut or something like that. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry, but no need to freak out.


You're the one freaking out.

I don't recall the names of the characters, but I think you refer to the lesbian one. And YES there's a big difference between a "slut" and a homosexual. And no, anime should not be always moral and asexual and clean all that time, I mean, children in Japan are exposed to sex and violence on media all the time, and they are the most pacific people I've ever seen.

Wow very tough choice. Hmn.. OK probably 3po. I would ask him to teach me some languages he knew, make him do dinner and clean the house (something r2 would probably not be able to do)... After I got bored of it, I'd probably sell him on e-bay.

"Oh dear, master Ric, are you selling me on e-bay?"

"Well... not really, you see... This guy here, called uh... 'DarthLaider69', he wants only your arms... and this one over here, 'NeoMrAnderson', he wants one of your legs."

"But, what have I done to deserve this? Oh please, master Ric, don't sell me! I'll bring breakfast on your bed every morning! I'll clean your house, and do dinner and do the dishes..."

"Ah, you see, I don't need you anymore for these domestic things... 3po, meet Consuela De Los Anjos, she says she's from Colombia or Venezuela, she said she's not sure althought her passport said Peru, she'll be doing your job."

Consuela (in fast spanish): "Señor Ric yo no quiero hacer lo trabajo desta robota, es una robota muy assustadora yo creo que vai me matar en la noche!"

"OK whatever. So, uh, 3po, if you could just turn around so I can turn you off and break you into bits with this hammer."

We're all doomed.

I'm surprised no one's tried to remake the silent German expressionist film "Metropolis" (featuring the robot that inspired C-3P0).


I'm surprised they didn't make Harold Lloyd's classic "Safety Last" into a "Die Hard" movie.
