I Love Robots!!!

OK, I realize that thanks to this posting I now have, quite possibly, the geekiest blog on the net, but it must be said.
It all started about a week ago. My parents finally got a satellite dish, ergo, no more farmervision. So, I'm flipping throught 500 channels at 2 in the morning thinking that even though the satellite has about 497 more channels than farmervision, there is still nothing interesting to watch, when Oh la la! What's this? Transformers is on?? As in Transformers, Robots in Disguise? Optimus Prime? Red Alert? Megatron and Starscream?? I was in nerd heaven.
This one is a new version of Transformers, not the original 80's series (which is good because I have all 4 seasons of the original on DVD). And it was pretty cool. All of the human characters and backgrounds are traditional 'cartoon' animation, while all of the Autobots and Decepticons were computer generated. Pretty cool idea, and it made the robots seem more robot-y.
So here's where the nerd kicks in: For the past coupla nights, I've been Dreaming about friggin' Transformers! Like as in my Jetta can turn into a robot and fight crime and stuff. Of course, it's a Jetta, so when tougher robots, like Jeeps or Hyundais come along, it gets its ass kicked.

I sure hope that some scientists figure out how to make transformers before I die. I would die a happy man with " Eeee-Oh-Ehhh-eee-UHH" As my epitaph. (That's the transforming sound effect they make. It's pretty hard to write down a sound effect I have just realized.)

TRANSFORMERS, ROLL OUT!!
