sioux 0 #1 March 29, 2007 QuoteMichael Jackson is in discussions about creating a 50-foot robotic replica of himself to roam the Las Vegas desert, according to reports. The pop legend is currently understood to be living in the city, as he considers making a comeback after 2004's turbulent child sex case. It has now been claimed that his plans include an elaborate show in Vegas, which would feature the giant Jacko striding around the desert, firing laser beams. If built, the metal monster would apparently be visible to aircraft as they come in to land in the casino capital. It is the centerpiece of an elaborate Jackson-inspired show in Vegas, according to Andre Van Pier, the robot's designer. Luckman Van Pier, his partner at the company behind the proposal, claims blueprints have been drawn up for the show and seen by the star. "Michael's looked at the sketches and likes them," he told the New York Daily News. On the subject of the robot, he continued: "It would be in the desert sands. Laser beams would shoot out of it so it would be the first thing people flying in would see." How crazy/funny is this?? I want a giant Sioux robot roaming the desert shooting laser beams, too!! I haven't seen such convoluted lines of conversation and such expert chronicling thereof since my days of all day bong marathons in college. ~ Lindercles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,067 #3 March 29, 2007 Why do I see a bad made-for-TV movie coming out of this? THE JACKONATOR Vin Diesel stars as Drake Slammer, a federal agent racing against time to stop an out-of-control killer robot from destroying Las Vegas. Lives hang in the balance as the Jackonator tears apart casinos, upends monorail cars and threatens a Shriner's convention. Can Slammer stop this killing machine before it destroys the City of Sin? The first episode premieres Saturday at 8pm (9pm central) on FOX! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sioux 0 #11 March 29, 2007 Yeah, that all sounds great ... except ... Siouxbot sounds so banal. Can we go with "Giant Sioux Robot"?

waltappel 1 #12 March 29, 2007 QuoteYeah, that all sounds great ... except ... Siouxbot sounds so banal. Can we go with "Giant Sioux Robot"? Personally, I like Siouxbot 'cuz it kind of rolls off the tongue, unlike "Waltbot", but this being the Information Age, I suppose we should go with something that could be made into an acronym. Besides, GSR also stands for "gunshot residue", which will turn the CSI fans on. Damn, "Waltbot" really does sound retarded! Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sioux 0 #13 March 29, 2007 Ok, I'm not sure what CSI means, but... "Giant Walt Robot. Roaming Las Vegas Desert. With Laser Beams" GWRRLVDWLB for short. now that has a certain ring to it, no? (Dude. Laser Beams.)

(Dude. Laser Beams.) "CSI" is a popular TV show in the US. The acronym is for "Crime Scene Investigations", a group within large police departments that gathers evidence at crime scenes and does analysis. That acronym for the giant Walt robot is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to long for me! Maybe the Mighty Walt Machine or MWM. I'd have a giant MWM on my robot chest. That way, I could easily change my identity by standing on my head. "Hey, where did MWM go?" "I don't know--just a moment ago he was over there, where WMW is."

waltappel 1 #17 March 29, 2007 QuoteHey, as long as there are laser beams involved, and people that can see us from space, I'm totally in!! We could play "king of the hill" on Mount Everest. We'd use our laser beams to melt a path through the ice and snow so for us it would be like walking on a sidewalk. We'd tell all the regular climbers that they couldn't use our path, though, and if they did, we'd fry them with our laser beams. That way, while we were taking a leisurely stroll up Everest, we could laugh at the regular climbers and taunt them by saying stuff like, "Gee, it must suck being you" and "Wow, walking up Mount Everest on a nice clear path is nice--too bad you can't do it!". edited to add: When we got to the summit, we could hang out and eat a couple of sandwiches. It would be easy to heat them up with our laser beams. Then, we'd hang out and wait for the regular climbers to reach the summit. As each one walked up, I would play a joke on him. [me] "Knock knock!!!" [regular climber] "Who's there?" [me] "Screw [regular climber] "Screw who?" [me] "Screw you!!!" ...and then I'd push him just enough so he would lose his balance and go tumbling down the hill. We'd laugh heartily at the surprised look on his face.
