Nominate famous folks to be the templates for the new comfortbot models.

Okay, but you’re missing a tremendous business opportunity. Given the choice of the no-sex-bot monopoly and the sex-bot monopoly, I know which I’d rather invest in.

Novelty trumps eyecandy here.

A Michael-Jordanbot please. If I wasn’t confined to historical folks, I’d try and negotiate for an actual transformer and get 2 robots for the price of 1.

Rhymer Enterprises HAS hookerbots. We just keep them distinct from the comfortbots.

And if we feel the need for additional capital we’ll just steal it.

Yeah, that part I get, but it doesn’t remotely answer my question.

And the kidney stones, did you have them, or were you looking for a way to cause other people to get them?

Guys, don’t you see how Skald is playing you here? He’s got an enormous overstock of comfortbots because, really, who’s gonna buy a comfortbot when they cost about the same as a hookerbots? That’s why no hookerbots … he can’t build those fast enough to keep up with demand. He’s trying to figure out what he can do to market all those comfortbots that are piled up in warehouses all over the solar system, hoping that giving them a celebrity persona will make up for the inability to get nasty.

Not happening, Skald. Either retrofit the comfortbots for sex or write 'em off.

I get it. No sex. But can they at least get under the covers with you and cuddle? At least provide emotional comfort if not sexual release. If not, I’ll hire a hacker!

If they are not available I could handle an Allyson Hannigan with the “Dark willow” package

Thank you

Even if it’s only a comfortbot and not a hookerbot, I would go for a Michael Fassbender model. At the very least he would mix drinks and we could watch Lawrence of Arabia together.

I’ll pass on the “gratuitous homicide” package, though.

I had them.

Alyson Hannigan.
Fergie.

That sucks. Better now?

Pretty much. I’ll probably post something about the hospital stay manana.

Comfortbot.

Would she rub my back at the end of really bad days & talk me down from anxiety and insecurity? Would she try to get some of my jokes (and actually like them)? Would she listen to me
when I want to talk about the wierd dream I just had & would she share hers? Would she drag me away from the PC sometimes by saying things like, “C’mon. Thats just pissing you off.
You need to get out of here for a while; we both do. I have your jacket, c’mon… lets go…”? Would she have real conversations with me without guilt-trip bullshit?

If so, then I’d be happy to let the Board pick the model, because if she’d do all that and try to get to know me, then what would it matter?

Damn. Two comfotbots for Mr. Rhymer, stat!

Everything but the sharing-of-her-own dream bit. Comfortbots neither sleep nor have REM states, and while you can program them to tell you comforting lies, the default for all non-hookerbots is to always tell the truth.
