And can we have as a comedic sidekick, a robotic dog that can transform into a pie–that time travels? Because that would be cool. And more coherent than the OP.

No, it should be done by Uwe Boll. That way the thread can get kicked from Cafe Society back to the Pit again!

So, wait, the robotic dog would be filled with blood and gore and random body parts? How would this work again? Oh yeah. It _would_ make more sense than the OP!

I’mnot sure what I did to offend you, Marl, but setting this mess, where I am going to start receiving multiple Reported Posts over the insults in the earlier posts is more than my in-box can bear. 😉  
It appears that it was too tame for the Pit and too feisty for MPSIMS, but it is too incoherent for GD.

I am closing it so that **lurking guest** can take another shot at either an actual rant or an actual debate without the bursen of this OP dragging it down.
