GROVELBOT FOUND DEAD

[Tummler]

Breaking on CNN ... GrovelBot has been found dead in his L.A. apartment. :cry:

They said they found him with enough cocaine to "kill an elephant," so they are thinking he may have overdosed. But right now the authorities are not ruling out anything.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

1. Was Belushi nearby?

[Bertha Venation]

6. LOL

:7

[Tummler]

14. Sad thing is ...

There's an entire generation of kids who would read your question and think only of Jim Belushi.

[JohnKleeb]

26. I know who hes talking about

and I am quite stupid :).

[Jo March]

2. Hey, how did he afford all of that cocaine?

Where'd he get the money...uh oh.

[Bertha Venation]

3. I like GrovelBot. In fact, he sent me a letter this morning. So

unless he died in the last half an hour, this story is bogus.

Hmm... off to check Snopes!

[Tummler]

7. CNN couldn't possibly be wrong!

But now that I think of it, the L.A. coroner's spokesman they interviewed did bear a striking resemblance to Karl Rove.

[Bertha Venation]

15. What's that? CNN said Karl Rove is a BEAR?!

Lord, I knew there had to be gay people in the Bush Admin., but Rove! What a coup!

And as you said, CNN can't possibly be wrong!

[Tummler]

37. In hindsight, we should have been tipped off ...

... by Rove's photo spread in American Grizzly magazine.

:scared:

5. Elton John to record tribute song

...just heard on CNN

[WilliamPitt]

11. And it seemed to me you lived your life like a robot in the wind

Never knowing who to cling to when Skinner chimed in...
I would have liked to know you, but I was broke as shit
My balance ran out long before
Your groveling kicked in...

[elperromagico]

27. Oh, that's good.

Worthy of Bernie Taupin. :thumbsup:

8. MY BELOVED....gone forever from my embrace

:cry: :cry:

Grovelbot and I spoke of forging together a lifetime commitment. We knew we had the world against us unable to accept a woman and a bot. We even heard that laws would be passed that said marriage must be between one man, one woman, both human.

:cry: :cry:

We knew we could never have kids but we hoped we'd find some willing junkyard filled with young bots who may not be perfect but in need of a loving home and a family to love them.

:cry: :cry:

Please someone tell me this is just unfounded rumors

:cry: :cry:

9. How do they know how much cocaine it takes to kill an elephant?

I hate it when "they" just make shit up. Has anyone ever killed an elephant with cocaine and if so, why isn't PETA complaining about it?

[Tummler]

13. Well, Limbaugh has done some experiments with OxyContin ...

n/t

[SoDesuKa]

17. . . . And It Hasn't Killed Him

Proof positive that OxyContin is safer than cocaine.

[yellowcanine]

23. If it had would PETA complain? Or is he not an animal? Fascinating

questions.

10. Cops Stymied by Clues

Grovelbot never touched stimulants, it was part of the "healthy lifestyle" kick he'd been on for several years. It is extremely unlikely that he died of a cocaine overdose. This had to be a hit.

[wryter2000]

12. Nooooo

Poor Grovelbot. He was so young. He had so much to live for.

16. BREAKING: Semen Found On GrovelBot's Underpants

24. Bush Says World Is Safer

WASHINGTON, August 17. President Bush gave a terse response to a reporter's question about the death of Grovelbot. "I wasn't expecting this question," said Bush. "But the world is safer."

25. More from the NY Times

PUNTA GORDA, FLORIDA August 17 - Dick Cheney said at a fundraiser today where the attendees were hurricane victims who paid $2,500.00 a plate, that it was "disturbing that there were members of Democratic Underground who could not produce GROVELBOT'S service records."

The accusation, amid reports of whether GROVELBOT was actually a member in good standing remains unanswered.

[Tummler]

35. That's outrageous!!!

Everyone knows GrovelBot served honorably as an aircraft guidance system in the NATO campaign in Bosnia.

:grr:

[SoDesuKa]

22. Tributes Pour In

[JohnKleeb]

40. "Grovelbot: A Nation Mourns"

"Hi, I'm your host, Ted Koppel. A little bit of each of us died today with the untimely passing of beloved Grovelbot. We are going to hear tonight from those individuals who knew Grovelbot intimately, and perhaps we'll learn something new and intimate about the wise little robot who was never afraid to ask for anything."
