OK. First of all, go read [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=323463) if you want to know where this came from. Second of all, [GIANT FARTING ROBOTS!](http://img130.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fartrobot3fd.swf) Well, there’s only one right now. But I may make a sequel containing multiple giant farting robots. ---

When I read this, I started to think of how much better it would be if the flash had real farting sounds. Then I started to think of how it would sound if the farts were to the tune of the very beging of “Funky Town”, the part without vocals. Then, I washed my brain out with bleach. :smack: ---

I decided posting another thread in such a short amount of time is pushing my luck, so I’ll put the sequel/prequel here. Ladies, gentlemen, and miscellaneous - I give you: **[Giant Farting Robots II: Darth Fartbot](http://img57.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fartrobot29bq.swf)** ---

I am suddenly seized with an uncontrollable urge to say “In Russia, giants fart _you!_” But that makes little sense, and is kinda gross if you think about it. So, instead, I will simply praise the Giant Farting Robots I’ve seen thus far, and while I’m at it, try to stop singing “Funky Town.” ---

Personally I’d prefer Giant Farting cultural references I understand. Come on, someone come up with some minor characters! We want more stuff along the lines of dead hamsters! And I’m using the roal “we” there, not the schizophrenic one! ---

Both for the praise and for NOT saying the “giants fart you” thing. Incidentally, “roal” is not a word. “Royal”, however, is. Just a neat little cultural note.
