That was George's nod to Steven Spielberg. A little Easter egg for fans.

I learned two new things about the dog. 1: he doesn't like water. 2: he doesn't like being picked up. Bonus lesson; dogs don't always land on their feet. I picked him up and he squirmed out of arms and fell to the floor and landed on his back/side. 😟 I felt terrible. I was trying to hold on...

I remember a time when some fast places tried offshore call center order takers. I don't think it went over well. I have dealt with the AI drive-thru also. It was a surprise at first but like you said went better than some human interactions.

Sorry dude, not even a droid wants to hear about your D&D character.

Let's get real nerdy. This could be the ultimate GM. Sound effects, soundtrack, different voices. Encyclopedic knowledge of ALL of the rules for every edition of every game. A built in dice tower. Put the die in the mouth and it could come out where the belly button should be. I probably...

A walking talking Thermos, now we're talking innovation. Keep hot things hot, and cold things cold.

And intimate companionship doesn't have to mean sex. Ask someone that's ace. A biographer shared a story about George Burns. After Gracie's funeral George said he didn't think he could sleep alone. Bobby Darren went home with him and slept in the bed with George. It wasn't sexual, it was...

Pyramid scheme? How's that...what?

Run Doom?

Why do you hate steak? What did steak ever do to you? What is a blue steak? Frozen?

She's probably the most life like I've seen. They said they hope she can be a daily companion. I wonder what her speaking abilities are like. Can she communicate naturally? 70 lbs. seem really light.

The five we're keeping are California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, and Georgia. Only because I'm limited to only the five.

I've seen two years mentioned for it 2017 and 2019. I figured that it was made in 2017 and released two years later. I just happened to see the Blu-ray for sale. I didn't know anything about it until today either. It's Indonesian so there's probably others we're not aware of.
