Our thanks to GorT. He really is the coolest robot, provided he doesn’t rip your head off for one of his “upgrades,” Puny humans.

“We apologize in advance if we kill one of your favorite tags (send an email and register your complaint with our service desk).”

Hah! You will find them not at all sympathetic. The Czar has been trying to get a plastic piece for the back of his laptop where it fell off, and no one will take his call down there. This is because we put them in the basement next to the Mandarin. And sometimes those guys don’t, uh, they don’t come back from his lab when he calls them in there for “just a second…to just stand over there for a second.”

Also, interesting bit of meta-data on the tags. Hmm. You might think we had concerns about President Obama, Russia, and Iran.

The Mandarin is surprised that Val Kilmer was not the lead tag.

Ghettoputer is shocked it wasn’t Hello Kitty.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
