The only people that I might want to see as my personal servants are people who are in positions of power, and who are using that power poorly. Someone who needs to be knocked down a couple of pegs. So, Putin, I guess. Yeah, I’ll take my foot massages from Putin. And George W. Bush. Better late than never. Really, wouldn’t you love to have W. make you omelets? It would be awesome. And I want Kim Jong-Un to be my personal foot stool. ---

Gosh, I think all mine have been taken already. Christina Hendricks, Colleen Dewhurst, Richard Farnsworth, Judi Dench…all excellent ideas. Umm…oh! Anthony Stewart Head. I suspect he makes a nice comforting cuppa and can play me guitar and croon until all my tears are cried out. ---

Oh yes, Mr. Rogers please. ☹ I think Helen Mirren circa [Red](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_%282010_film%29) would be great - very nice ‘old lady’ type who would make you tea and sympathize with your rough day/romantic troubles, then go mercilessly take out your enemies via a sniper rifle. ---

First of all, I have trouble accepting the no-sex rule. Does this mean they’re not anatomically correct? Remember that eve Data had sex. Or at some point in the future, will there be an upgrade, like a kit that can be installed? So with that in mind, and hoping I’ll still be alive when that upgrade is available, I want [Kareem Abdul-Jabbar](http://www.nba.com/history/legends/kareem-abdul-jabbar/index.html). ---

> [@Skald\_the\_Rhymer](#): > > Now bear in mind we’re not talking about hookerbots. Comfortbots don’t have sex with you; they supply comfort and succor to the weary, wounded, bereaved, and heartbroken. That means they’ll bring you breakfast in bed, massage away your aches, sing lullabies to help you fall asleep, decapitate your enemies as needed–things like that. Each model is based on a real person from whom it is visually, aurally, olfactorialy, and tactilely indistinguishable. Do we get one of these in addition to a hookerbot, or in lieu thereof? ---

Do they get to talk? If they don’t get to talk, I’ll take Gwyneth Paltrow to scrub my feet and clean my toilet. I’d probably allow her to cook for me too. But I don’t want to hear her whining about it.
