Unable to view the video here, but robots, flying or otherwise, could be very useful.
I wonder if they tackle supermarket aisles.
The robot in the video is 200 feet tall, so he might not fit into a supermarket aisle. Just sayin'... I loved Johnny Sokko because the only person this multi-billion dollar technological marvel responded to was a 12-year old secret agent. I guess he was a really mature 12-year old.
Oops. I forgot that the reason the robot only responded to the kid is because when its creator told Johnny and his elite band of spies that the robot would only respond to the first person who spoke into a secret watch, Johnny grabbed the watch and began screaming orders into it. So, Johnny was a very average 12-year old in hindsight [[not so mature). I bet the guy who hired him was fired immediately...
I think I'll stick with regarding the wonders of nature, say a 200 feet tall tree [[not too many around here...)
Wonderful things, trees. A lot going on, in and around them, but they say nothing.
What do you mean[they say nothing??]i had a talk with a tree the other day, we shared some bark and acorns had a good visit,and they're very polite always standing!!
Yes, they're always polite. Look at the behaviour they have to endure from some dogs, even some humans.
That poet what's his name[willie wurdswurth shortfeller]wrote about trees...i think that i shall never see a human wooden as a tree a tree that may in winter wear a nest of birdpoop in her hair a tree that looks at god all day and ask lord why me a tree who lifts its leafy arms to pray for legs to run away poems are made by fools like me but trees have to stand and take it...what a poet what a tree!!
I think I'll branch out..............:p
Wow. That poem left a tear in my eye. I think.
Anyway, I think I'll make like a branch and... leaf.
How nice to find a little culture in this remote corner of the forum!
Good just isn't the word for it.
I can't wait for the one about daffodils.
"What are words worth?" [Wordy Rappinghood, Tom Tom Club]

To commercially successful writers, words can be worth a lot.
And here we all are, chatting for free :rolleyes:
I hope you don't find out that I'm putting all of this into a book that I am writing... It would be unfortunate if you found out how much I am being paid for claiming your words for my own...
My lips are sealed.
Ha! Well Jerry, there have been plenty of cover versions over the years claiming, as all their own work, something which came out of West Grand Boulevard, so I won't be too surprised!
You might give a listen to 'Sparky's Magic Piano'. I'm not giving advice, just for entertainment purposes, you understand. [[although if you did happen to feel that Sparky is absolutely obnoxious, I'd be in complete agreement. I really don't know which was creepier - the kid, or the piano) :eek:
"I'm ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille."
"Sparky's Magic Piano"? Thank God it wasn't an organ or it might be NSFW. Sorry... I couldn't let that one go.:[[
Ha! I can imagine it now. "Give me the key and I'll play in A flat, all day" :rolleyes:
I just spilled my coffee... Classic response!
Drinking coffee at that hour of the morning, Jerry?
Is that to wake you up, or send you to sleep?!
Wake me up. I'm scheduled to work the weekend and overtime for all of next week. I just logged into the Kindle on my way out the door. I will be checking back in on my breaks. It's going to be a long day.
Let's make it a pleasant one. We'll speak to you later.
I've been thinking about getting a Kindle. Do they give off harmful radiation that might addle the brain, not that anyone would notice any difference in my case?
Ohhhhh, the dreaded weekend warrior [[Jerry). Hang in there!!! When I used to work weekends they were [[as you say) LONG!!!!:[[
The good thing about getting older is that the days go by quicklier.
I've had a Kindle since they first came out, and recently got a Kindle Fire. So I'm still the same.........although debateable:p
I think my fingertips are more likely affected by radiation than my brain. If you aren't looking for a computer, the Kindle is a great time waster for a lot less money than an iPad.
And 144man, I dread the fact that I'm looking back at most of my life instead of forward. They do go by faster... It's like days in the hour glass: so are the days of our lives. [[That's deep; I need to write that down for my book.)
...the book which includes a lot of quotations from me......:)
The foreword is very short : - "I Wrote These Words".
Hmmm... I might have to pay Ralph to delete this thread after my book hits the shelves. Although I think my testimony in court would be compelling, hard evidence of my duplicity might affect the verdict...
Guilty as hell.
I will then bring out my autobiography, taking the title from a Betty Everett song :"It looks to me like this could be The Real Thing" :D
On the subject of books, I've yet to use a Kindle. Advantages? Disadvantages?
Disadvantages first:
1. It's not a computer, so word processing and spreadsheets aren't going to be why you buy it.
2. It resets every couple of days and reboots, often when least want it to happen.
3. Most musicians don't let their YouTube videos play on Android.
Advantages:
1. It's so light and portable. I pick it up almost without thinking about it.
2. Music sounds pretty good through the little speakers, even though they're on the back. I use headphones anyway.
3. If you have good wi-fi, it's downloads pretty quickly.
4. If you're a fan of Amazon, it's designed to steer you toward their offerings.
5. I don't have books on mine yet, but my Mom does and she loves it as an e-reader and as something that she prefers for downloaded movies.
All things being equal, it is more of a toy than a workhorse, but it's a good value for the price.
Today a kindle,yesterday a candle...it's all the same in the dark...and if you put that in your book i'll sue you for a silver penny!!
Names will be changed to protect the guilty.
And the name of the author of this book will be.....?
We need some culture over here,time for another poem...by the artist soon to be known as the artist...i want to be where i am because then i could be where i am...what a poem,what a poet!!!
My nom de plum will be Terry Bozz. And at 5:13 PM, I came up with a fantastic poem for my character cue&see to recite. I'm gonna sell millions...:rolleyes:
[[I made it 4.13pm on my screen)
The reviews will be adulatory.
'Words fail...' - Detroit Free Press
'... as does the initial writing effort by Terry Bozz, a man who obviously spends long hours at work when he should be focusing on his penmanship. His book, "Just a Chime... Or" comes across as if he stole bits and pieces of musings from greater writers than himself and somehow failed to bring them together in any manner that makes sense. Ultimately, Bozz's book seems to try to pay respects to a bunch of strangers who become friends on a message board until one of them steals the others' intellectual output and claims it for his own. It's a sad and depressing book that reflects as poorly on the author as on the protagonist.'
And with that, Jerry Oz looks at the schedule and sighs, realizing that his ship still has yet to arrive at harbor.
Fast forward.....
'Press Send'! It's a triumph!
The closing moments of the premiere performance of 'Please Mr Post-Man', the musical based on 'From Detroit, With A Shove', Terry Bozz's compilation of internet messages gleaned from appreciative ramblings emanating from a local internet forum, left theatregoers speechless in rapturous appreciation last night on Broadway.
Playing to a packed sitting room only capacity audience, the performance wowed the thousands in the theatre who, as the final word faded away, lowered as one to give a sitting ovation, immediately using their laptops to flash congratulations and rave reviews across the entire global internet from their seats. Applause was redundant.
In a moving speech from the stage, internet author arrr&bee [[once described by Bob Dylan Thomas as America's greatest nearly living poet), holding a glass of elixir in each hand while sat on a crate of full bottles, recited a beautiful poem on the deep meanings of English words. The simple dignity of correct grammatical construction was, he said, 'exactly just like what I wrote'.
Hollywood is tippy-tapping this morning with posts that a movie will follow, based on the internet communications of Soulful Detroit fans. Famed Motown artists are said to be queueing around the block to audition for the chance of appearing as SDF members.
