Ro-Man, the Robot Monster, attacks!

....Ro-Man from Robot Monster (1953)....

Alien tasked to kill all humans. Nearly succeeded but missed a few who became immune to alien technology. Killed them the old school way except a pretty lady, naturally. His leader made him kill her then they killed him as punishment for behaving like a human

Reminder, the premise is “would a normie think it’s weird to find them attractive?” (Would they have to “hear me out?”) NOT “smash-or-pass”

Is Ro-Man a “hear me out” or understandably hot?

Hear me out. Alien gorilla killed humanity, company man, simp

Hot. Big strong alien, advanced tech. Learned to value human life kinda

It’s December 17th, so it’s time for my annual “Advent” calendar of sorts. This is Number 17 in a series of bits of holiday nonsense that I’ve put together over the years. If I have time, I may try to come up with a few more this year. 

Ack Ack Ack!

Ack Ack Ack!

Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack!

I was to write you a sonnet Such is the plan and the law But in my mechanical wisdom I simply said soddit and all.

I am the chaser, The soylent of swill To hash down the Halloween nutrient pill

The kistch and kaboodle Stuck here on this earth An exiled conqueror An object of mirth

Abandoned by command Abandoned by God Stuck in this cave A miserable sod

The mission to kill Has been put on the shelf They say mankind's already Busy killing itself

I crave love, Justice, a poetry slam, Why are these things Not in the plan?

But I have been chosen By some cosmic joke To usher out Halloween For you simple folk

I usher you out of this Fine Hallow's Eve Like a bad movie upon The silver-laced screen

I give you advice To ye damned of this earth Life is too short Live it what it's worth...

So, while the Spirit Halloween one is probably more thematically-interesting, I knew I had to use Ro-Man for the finale when I came up with the idea of using 'em. Sorta a "We play the bad movie at the end of the marathon to get people out of the theatre" thing.

Tho, in my experience with it at the Loft it was usually more, like, in the third-to-last-ish of it, for the sake of giving people a chance to nap given it was an all-night marathon.

Happy Halloween everyone, and to all a ghoul night!
