Bunk Bots FTW!
As we mentioned earlier this year, Bunk Bots has kindly offered to donate a hefty shipment of its snuggle-tastic robots for our 2009 Winter Holiday Auction. We just received the box-o-bots, and to put it incredibly lightly, we are psyched! Click the picture above to check out all the awesome automated personalities Bunk Bots has plush-itized! Thank you for your contribution, Bunk Bots! On a side note, Don and I entered the contest we mentioned in the comment section of this post, and Don won the Spok Bunk Bot!!! Read on to see his entry and the prize!
We were so surprised to find that Don’s Spok Bunk Bot was sent along with a friend, a Night Vision Pinch! Click above to see the specs for Night Vision Pinch… he likes the ladies!
About the contest, the toy site www.plasticandplush.com asked the following question on April 06, 2009:
“Star Trek or Star Wars? And why?”
Here’s Don’s entry, a winner if I ever read one (by the way, he didn’t just come up with this on the fly, folks… this is his concrete belief):
“This is actually very simple. Though I realize fans of both have solid platforms for debate – Star Trek fans extolling the virtues of 24th century technology and Star Wars fans touting the universal influence of the force, for instance – there is one element that sets one apart from the other on a scale of merit.
And her name is Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway.
Not satisfied to enter into drawn our Star Trek moral debate or over-blasted Star Wars capital ship combat, Kathryn Janeway has a simple solution to any problem, no matter the complexity:
Point the ship at it and go. If possible, set the auto-destruct while doing so – if not, no biggie.
She is the wild card. She will see your Aluminum Falcon and raise you 700,000 metric tons black coffee fueled death wish.
You have a star destroyer? No issue, she has 2 tricobalt devices and she can deploy them while the ship is 4/5 of the way into your command console.
It’s pretty hard to use the force inside of a warp field breach – and that breach is only a command code away.
Oh, and she has removed the need for a first officer to back her decision. She tore that part out of the ship.
Remove Janeway and I think you have a 50/50 shot in any SW -VS- ST:WTF match.
Fact: She has not been removed, and will not be removed until she blows up her ship and your emperor with it.
Bonus: She once spent an episode arguing with HERSELF as to which one of her got to blow up her ship.
Double bonus: She lied and blew her own ship up before she got a chance to.”
