It could start a new craze!

darth_hamster is perusing the draft Eastercon programme:

"Angry Robots Singing? What on earth is that about?"

(I peer more closely)

"That will be Angry Robot Signing dear..."

In all fairness, it was in a fairly small font!

After Iain Bank's robot nipple comments at Novacon and all I have learned about Fandom since I hooked up with Himself - I have tried to be very accepting. And the print is tiny when your boyfriend has a massive iMac 27 inch and you are usually languishing on a 15" mac book pro.

Although what about a program item called Angry Birds Singing ? Dress up as an avian plushy and be catapulted towards a green mattress resembling a pig whilst belting out your favourite eighties pop hairspray anthem which the audience have to guess? Could be fun?

And then, after hours, you could make it an adult item - Angry Birds Swinging?

Charlie Stross of course wrote an entire novel based on the concept of a humanoid sex robot deliberately designed to have a nipple that could go "spung!". Well, maybe it wasn't the entire reason for the novel, but it was one of the motivating factors.

I think you're dealing with it all very well.

Anybody worked out the grid colour scheme yet?

[twinfair]

The colours have gone. They were for internal planning purposes and accidentally included at first. I hope you didn't spend too long trying to work them out!

Well, remember where the name for filing came from.

[anef]

If you mean filking, yes. If filing, no.

[a_cubed]

Bleck. Spell-checkers don't catch everything. Of course I should have been exxpecting a spell-check error as "filk" isn't in most dictionaries. Yes, of course I meant filking.

"Angry robots singing"

Now there's a last-minute idea for our Contraptions Exhibition!

We have robots, we have organ pipes, we have Arduineaux...

Angry Robots Singing seems sensible or at least safe. Whereas Angry Robots flinging their arms about is asking for trouble.
