Dead Robot The space between gay and straight, stupid and smart.

STOP IT!!

STOP USING THE WORD "ICONIC"!!!!

I fucking mean it! I will come to your house and fuck up your day so bad if you people continue to use that word for any reason. EVEN IF WHAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING IS REPRESENTATIONAL OF A DEITY!

I think you mean to say "supreme" or "ultimate" or "pretty keen!" not iconic.

It's driving me fucking nuts. STOP right NOW!

    Heehee! I am similarly annoyed by the obsessive over-use of the term “brilliant” to describe either a) someone of mediocre, or lower, intelligence, b) something that is mildly clever, or titteringly amusing or c) something that the kids think is ‘cool.’

    None of these things are brilliant. Period.

    What should we call all those little pictures on our computer desktops now? Supremes?

    I like Sigmoidoscopy… it’s a fun word I wish people would use more these days… like that girl from the coffee shop that just won’t shup up reminded me of what you’d find during a sigmoidoscopy

    I think I might have used the word iconic once to describe a logo. I won’t do it again.

Dead Robot

Not a clothing store in the UK, not a group of tech students come together for their RC club, nor is this a prolific anime artist portfolio site. I'm just a guy that likes to (over)share. I've been doing so since 2004 so there's a lot of crap in the database. Enjoy!

The title comes from Isaac Asimov's book "Caves of Steel" - "...And the dead robot would lend point to his words."
