Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for November 12, 2016

why even have a Roomba?

Uh oh……

If it’s injured,

it could sue him for Robot’s Comp.

I’m really not comfortable being used as source material.

You could make new dance with it, and call it doing the Roomba, Roomba!!!

What possessed you to own one of those things in the first place?

♫♪I’m still kicking the Roomba, baby.

I can’t seem to quit.

If my momma catches me kicking the Roomba,

Well momma will just pitch a fit…..

evidently I’ve been in a Jesse Winchester mood lately

Pushing the vacuum cleaner is good exercise.

They’re great props for filming cat videos.

I’m really glad Roomba isn’t the dog!

I’ve had three of the things (hope springs eternal) and I haven’t had one keep going long enough to clean any entire room ever.

And then he swears a lot after hurting his foot…! Meanwhile, it’s time to kick around…

Today’s “Daddy’s Home” Question:

What would you kick?

There is an episode of Night Gallery about abusing robots, they begin to abuse back. Also see the TZ ep. “A Thing About Machines” along the same lines.

Although we have central vacuum, we did have a robotic lawnmower for quite some time. The Robomower worked quite well, but getting older and having less desire for any type of lawn work, we now have a lawn service…

Our Roomba is trundling along upstairs.

Only trouble is, I have long hair, my daughter has long hair and the dog…….so you have to unwind the brushes every hour.
