    That would really suck if you were going at it hot n heavy with Roberta when she blew a gasket..

    Watching the Maytag repairman dismantling your electronic ladylove would kill that mood real fast. And picture him, droning on, nonchalantly, like he's working on some run-of-the-mill major appliance.

    "Yeah, these Roberta5000 series tend to overheat on ya, right in the middle of the action. Don't worry pal, she'll be back on her feet, er back in no time.."

    Too late, some of you are already having sex with robots. Some of you have mates that are less than loving...cold hearted even!

    So now Jude Law from A.I. is going to pop up? Is this Steven Speilberg's revenge for a movie I actually liked? Ok as long as there are other options I'm game. But what if they forget their wash cycle? Like when the strippers forget to wipe down their pole? Ok I need to errrrr....damn brain shut off shut off! Nope didn't happen.

    @LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: See, strippers not wiping down the pole is only a problem at first. Then, they're all diseased so you don't need to worry about them catching anything. Think of all the money you'll save in Purell and Lysol disinfectant.

    It's kind of like Pokemon, except with venereal disease. Gotta catch 'em all.

    @LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: They could always be like Scud the disposable assassin. Single serving prostitute bots.

    Anyways, Gigolo Joe was the best. Who else can stay classy while talking about making the Blue Fairy scream out during sex?

    As iPhone Apps go, CityTransit is very good and worth the price. The subway goes all screwy on the weekends and the CityTransit app puts all the info together (along with Metro-North and LIRR) in a good package.


    This is about as useful or fashionable as a "4" train tee-shirt.

    @OMG! Ponies!: And you can be all cool and hip using your app instead of looking like a tourist squinting at the map on the wall.

    @Chewbenator: No. I'm too busy sighing as the tourist leans over me to squint at the map. Honestly, our subway isn't THAT complicated.

    @lostarchitect: The dumbest tourist question I was ever asked was while I was sitting in Washington Square Park. The tourist asked where the arch was.


    I replied "It's that big arch-shaped thing towering over the trees."


    The second dumbest was on Wall Street, where a tourist asked where the NASDAQ building was. "About four miles north of here."

    Not only will you have a map on your wrist but if you get two you can probably deflect bullets on New York City streets. Two for One FTW!

    I don't spend enough time in NYC to justify this. Maybe they'll make one for the Minneapolis subway system?

    So this thing condenses that huge map I always have to unfold into something that fits on my wrist? I'm not convinced.
