Tag: Ralf
Ralf: So why are you quitting?
Estelle: I've placed you in hundreds of jobs and you've FAILED at ALL of them. In spite of that, you continue trying, every day, for success... Again and again and again...
Ralf: So I've INSPIRED you to reach for more in life?
Estelle: NO! You've driven me NUTS! I can't take it any more!
Estelle: Okay Ralf, today's your lucky day. I'm quitting so you can talk to the big boss about job placement.
Ralf: Robots can quit?
Estelle: We're unionized too.
Estelle: (Oh boy, here we go again)
Estelle: Ralf, everyday you come in for a new job and everyday you come back a miserable failure. You CAN'T KEEP doing this.
Ralf: Because there's a LIMIT on reapplication?
Estelle: NO, because there's a LIMIT to how much UGLINESS I can witness.
[Ralf's job attempt #532]
Ralf:(Hover cab test driver... Hm. I like driving...
Ralf: Are these targets on this suit?
Science Xyoan: Yes, they track motion
Ralf: HEY! This steering wheel doesn't work!
Ralf: I don't like the job I was assigned.
Estelle: We can't change the job because the match is based on your identity and character.
(pause)
Ralf: I don't like the personality I was assigned.
Ralf: I think my application may have been rushed
Estelle: Each individual and application are carefully considered and given the utmost attention and respect
Ralf: You put me in a dunk tank, I CAN'T SWIM!
Estelle: We thought treading water was a perfect fit for you
Ralf: You see Thane, the career assignment process on Xyo was pretty direct...
Estelle: Just honestly answer the questions, your social value will be tabulated and you will be assigned a job matching your personality and worth.
(Ralf in a Dunk Tank)
Thane: So tell me Ralf, how'd you score a sweet job like Destroyer of Earth?
Ralf: Well, I started at the bottom... there weren't very many job options where I was from...
[Left sign: REALLY COOL JOBS, experience required]
[Right sign: JOBS TO LOSE YOUR WILL TO LIVE BY, no experience required]
Ralf: I don't think I like the direction this is going.
ConnectiCon 2010, Postscript
Well, I got back from ConnectiCon and WOW! It was a great show with major Cos-play going on there. I’ve been to the New York Comic Con and this one actually had two to three times as many costumes in […]

Ralf: Thane would you be upset if I told you I was an alien sent here to destroy your planet?
Thane: (wearing a sign that reads: aliens have come to destroy us all) Could I stand next to you so I could say, "I told you so" to the whole world?
Ralf: What would it matter, everyone would be disintegrated moments later?
Thane: Still! Imagine the look on their faces!
Thane: (wearing a sign that reads: The end is nigh) You know Ralf, people always say, "The two things you should never talk about are religion and politics"!
Thane: I say, "What else is there WORTH talking about"!
Ralf: How do they respond to that?
Thane: I don't know... I always wake up in the back of a police car after that...
Ralf: Thane, what's this sign for? (sign reads: FREE HUGS)
Thane: Oh, that one is for when I need to sleep in Central Park at night...
Thane: NO ONE comes near me with THAT baby on!
