Name the robot.

Yes folks, your chance to be a little part of blogging history!

All you need to do is looking at the friendly little automated fella in the photo below and give him a fitting moniker.

Name the robotname the robot 2


In contrast to the recent caption comp which has caused uproar, prompted angry declarations of dissatisfaction with the judgement and most heinously of all, divided friendships... I will merely list the names suggested in a subsequent post and throw it open to a popular vote to decided my tin chums new handle.

And then he will forever be known by that name, as will his first adventures due to kick off right here, at Angry Chimp in a month or so...

I have to say he looks like a fella, although I think they've stuck his winky on the wrong side. And did someone tread on it?

Anyway I have loads of favourite names (Barry, Charlie, Kevin, George, Bill, Gerry, and Colin) but none of these remarkably suitable for a robot (although come to think of it I'm coming around to Gerry).

I was going for simplicity with 10100110 but perhaps that was a little too simple. So I upped my game (but not by much) to come up with

Monkeybot#1

frankly that's the best you'll get from me - to no surprise.

Sniffy said...

What were the names of those robots at James Henry's site? Couldn't you nick one of those names? You know, the blue cat things.

Ho ho, How much did your blood pressure rise with that suggestion?

I'd name it after the owl in Clash of the Titans, but I can't remember its name. I'm sticking with I, Nobrot.

Tina, wasn't that something like Tito? I think Rowan suggested that. I've no doubt Herge knows. But will he tell..?

Sniffy said...

Oh, it's not what I thought then. Although "Tit" is always a good name for anything.
