I may be the pot blackguarding the kettle here, but I think that the references to Karel Capek, Ford, and General Motors are just too in-your-face and should be replaced with something less explicit. Encyclopedants, what say you?  --[[User:Jcowan|Jcowan]] 23:46, 6 Oct 2004 (EDT)

I heartily enjoyed this entry. Al Bundy, love objects, dead babies, hooHAH! --[[User:Morbus Iff|Morbus Iff]] 23:38, 13 Oct 2004 (EDT)

I agree. This is too close to "Earth parody" for me - see the discussion "Alternate Reality vs. Fictional World" on the [[Lexicon discussion]]. I admit, we're breaching into grey areas here: what with Sean's HANDBAG and the whole "Speedish Chef" / "BORK" thing, but blatant FORD/GM connotations, especially in regards to competing companies and mechanical automatims, are too much for me. Thoughts? --[[User:Morbus Iff|Morbus Iff]] 00:35, 7 Oct 2004 (EDT)

:Thank you!  I hope everyone caught the jokes. Of course, I snuck C3PO in there and my wife came up with the reference to Data for me.  Her favorite ST:NG joke is the bit about him being "fully functional". (Luckily, she likes goofy guys with big noses, since she thinks I bear a passing resemblance to Mr. Spiner.) --[[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 07:47, 14 Oct 2004 (EDT)

:Thoroughly enjoyable, especially the part about Carl Kapek. One cannot help but love obscure references, especially C3PO. --[[User:Lankin|Lankin the Mad Mage]] 07:32, 23 Apr 2005 (EDT)

::Glad you liked it. Unfortunately, the wife has since left me, so I regret the reference to her favorite joke, but, otherwise, I was rather proud of this one. --[[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 11:37, 23 Apr 2005 (EDT)
