Listen to "The Sun is also a Warrior." http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Fish-Leslie/The-Sun-Is-Also-A-Warrior.html

Hawkwind have prior art dating back to 1977 :o)

I agree. I am eager to finally get my robot that looks like kind of a mix between a vacuum cleaner and a chrome pig with marital aids stuck all over it. It would need to be made in Germany, cuz a lot of really good ones come from over there. Yet another reason Frank Zappa was a visionary. http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Frank-Zappa/A-Token-Of-My-Extreme.html

Done and done.

Okay.

Welcome to Canada, it's the Maple Leaf state

Gotta love the CBC (again, in Canada). I hear that Al Jazeera English is pretty impartial, too.

You have elections coming up, right?

Okay, that's a long-term goal.

That's why, if I take a vacation in Europe next year, I'm probably going to buy a GSM phone, unencumbered with all of this North American market philosophy. My understanding is that, in Europe, the mobile market involves many parties competing to provide the best service at the lowest cost... I'm not sure that I really understand this "competition" thing (that's where all of the gas stations charge exactly the same thing because you have no choice but to suck it up, right?), but I hear it's good.

"Sue You" is obviously a slightly modified version of my poem "Kill My Landord":

Dark and lonely on a summer's night.
Kill my landlord.
Kill my landlord.
Watchdog barking. Do he bite?
Kill my landlord.
Kill my landlord.
Slip in his window. Break his neck.
Then his house I start to wreck.
Got no reason. What the heck?
Kill my landlord.
Kill my landlord.
C-I-L-L
my land
lord!

I demand you relinquish all rights back to me, or I will slip in your window, break your neck, then your house I'll start to wreck; I'll have a reason, despite this dreck.

I can see that the title you made is also unfair use of a Weird Al song, resembling it very closely indeed...I own those copyrights too. I'm gonna sue ya!

Yes, uh huh, yeah, but these days it's all secrecy; no privacy
Shoot first, that' s right... you know
Bye bye. Who's listening?
Right now somebody is listening to you
Keeping their eyes peeled on you
Mmm, mmm, what a price, what a price to pay
All right. Good night, sleep tight

Add a jaunty tune to that idea, and you might have something like this

As I understand it, he used a fake boarding pass to fly to Bel Air, where he whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said "FRESH" and it had dice in the mirror.

My favorite is Zeppelin's Ramble On and a little about the ringwraiths in Battle of Evermore .

No, you still have to walk it.

Alternatively, I might just be a huge Iron Maiden fan...

And alternatively, Japanese people are scared of minorities and foreigners, to the extent that police will arrest and check for the papers of people just for looking foreign, or speaking in a foreign language. Literally any crime is blamed on foreigners.

Japan is schizophenic about foreigners.

A lot of Japanese women seek out gaijin (at least Caucasian) boyfriends, and most of the Japanese people I've met in my brief stays were very friendly. On the other hand, some merchants will pretend not to even hear requests from foreign customers (even if such customers are attempting to use their phrasebook Nihongo), drunk old guys will yell at you, and you're definitely not treated equally by the police. I think being a white guy in Japan may be in some small way like being a black guy in the U.S. - to some degee you're automatically "cool" in a fashion sense, while at the same time you're likely to encounter discrimination. (Before any PC cops bash me, let me point out that an African-American friend of mine suggested the comparison.)

The real story is, why is Japan more willing to spend billions of dollars for absurd pie-in-the-sky visions of robots becoming your friend, and unwilling to grant citizenship to other ethnicities, to increase the labor force and make up for a shrinking population?

Many of the stories on robots in Japan I've seen have talked about them caring for the elderly - the age group most likely to harbot racist and xenopobic thoughts. (Though again, I met some wonderful, friendly elderly Japanese; but when I did encounter hostility, it was almost always from someone at least I would guess in their late 50s.)

But on top of that, even with a shrinking population population Japan is tremendously crowded. A lower population with Mr. Robotos, who only take up a closet, instead of some gaijin workers who takes up whole apartments, could be very appealing.

Starring Ben Affleck as the fucking robot.

I thought his name was "Kilroy! Kilroy!"

Ziggy played guitar!

Sounds more like a job for Blackalicious.

Read the lyrics to Chemical Calisthenics. Or MUCH preferably, listen to them.

"Kiss off", by the Violent Femmes.

How are you going to cash a check that's made out to another pervert?

Does this mean that this is an I.F.O.?

Supertramp.

What about In The Year 2525?

Someone I worked with bought an iPod, and I hooked him up with the Final Fantasy Tactics soundtrack soundtrack, with one slight addition. I renamed and retagged the disco song, "It's Raining Men", to match the rest of the soundtrack and burned it to cd. He had a nice little suprise waiting for him to listen to...

Doc Brown's pronunciation of "gigawatt" sounds like Jay-Z's pronunciation of Jigga-what.

"It only takes one point twenty-one niggawatts to send your white ass black to tha futa." -- GNAA

"We eat so many shrimp, I got iodine poisoning"

You can get a tat (short for tattoo) by opening the yellow pages and turning to "tattooing". Then hang out in bars, show women your new tat, and if you're lucky, they may show you their...

Just make sure you get a 13 and not a 31.

Ahhhh, the wisdom of Unca Frank.

OK: my guitar wants to kill your mama.

What's even funnier about this comment is that someone would likely get home before 911 even answers the phone.

I'd guess Take the Money and Run. Played on rockandroll.fm quite a bit.

And while we are on the subject:
Free is when you don't have to pay for nothing or do nothing. We want to be free, free as the wind (Frank Zappa: Teenage Wind)

Not that familiar with Barcelona yet. Is that Gaudi's rippled apartment building? Just a guess, as it does not sound like it is the location of Parca Guell or La Sagrada Familia

No-one ever said it better than this.

Excuse me? In what way are 500-foot-diameter blimps like helicopters? They're big. Round. Like... I dunno... like... eyes! Big... electric... eyes! Yeaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!

<airguitar>

Up here in space,
I'm looking down on you. My lasers trace
Everything you do.
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind.
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time!

I'm made of metal!
My circuits gleam!
I am perpetual,
I keep the country clean!
I'm elected, electric spy
I'm protected, electric eye.

Always in focus
You can't feel my stare.
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there.
I take a pride in probing
all your secret moves
My tearless retina
takes pictures that can prove.

Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There's nothing you can do about it.
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows.

I'm made of metal!
My circuits gleam!
I am perpetual,
I keep the country clean!
I'm elected, electric spy
I'm pro-tect-ed, de-tec-tive, e-lec-tric eyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

George Orwell's 1984's helicopters are totally pwn3d by Judas Priest's Electric Eye, and Rob Halford sang it in 1982. Nyaaah!

911 is serious business

Are you sure? 'Cos Chuck D told me that 911 is a joke.

I wonder whether they'll finally be able to (dis)prove the hypothesis that everybody knows everybody else within six (or however many) degrees of separation.

This was first proposed in 1967 by social psychologist Stanley Milgram, (in)famous for his shocking experiments on human obedience, which inspired Peter Gabriel to create the subversive sing-along "We Do What We're Told", a.k.a. "Milgram's 37".

This paragraph brought you by a flock of hyperlinking free associators with Erds number 4.

I bet you still know the words to Lost in Love, faggot.
