Run, Timmy! It's a Robot Beltbuckle!!!
My loverly wife is not the only person who has so wonderfully surprised me with something robot-related. My voonderbob sister also surprised me--OUT OF NOWHERE!!!--with this gift (which she also found on Etsy):
I have no idea why I really like robots so much. I think some of it is how Dad likes old sci-fi and how we used to watch a lot with him, particularly when we were little. Some of it is probably my affection for the now-dead 'Horizons' ride at EPCOT Center and how there were just a ton of robots in it. Either way, while I may not know exactly the mystery behind my affinity for all things robotica, I DO know that I am most grateful to my sister and my wife for their recent fun sturprises (yes, I meant to spell it that way) that they have so thoughtfully and generously bequeathed me. Thank you so much, Sarah and Jenni. I love you both so much.
Don't forget to click on the pics. They will enlarge for greater detail!

How well do you really know robots? Can you identify this quote: "Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!" Hint: This is one of the classic robot movies of all time.

Well, I may not be as good as some, but that one I did get as quick as 'Gort!'
...drumroll, if you please...
The Day the Earth Stood Still
And I promise, I didn't Google it...that one, I actually knew!
