LOL!! Nah, not me. It's funny stuff, though. Thanks for the compliment! SHORTY is fine! He's got Winston the Amazing Dog eating nothing but sirloins, Sid the All-Knowing Cat is working at an unnamed hedge fund (up 60% for the year, which is not bad) and a bunch of Russian submariners building their own shuttlecraft out of spare parts that Not Flargg threw away. SHORTY himself has taken up a new hobby. There's this TV show on the Comedy Channel, which is the only channel he likes, called "Battlebots". SHORTY drew this design for a robot that he says will win for sure. He's learning to weld, but he can't really master the remote control electronic stuff. Not Flargg saw the design and liked it, but pointed out that since the robot was planned out to be 55 feet long and weigh two tons, it would probably not be allowed to compete. So SHORTY took all the drawings and put them in a copy machine and reduced them 90% and asked Not Flargg if he could build it. Comparatively speaking, we're talking about a human building a robot the size of a Hot Wheels car, and Not Flargg said no. But one of the Russkies said he could build it. He wants to call it "Kursk". It's actually a pretty cool design, it has a weapon that nobody has thought of (yet). As for me, I'm watching CSCO today.
