Sorry, miss. I was giving myself an oil-job.

One of the more memorable lines from the 1956 classic SF film Forbidden Planet. And the most memorable character from that film was the one who said it: Robby the Robot.

Carolyn got me this fabulous seven-inch-tall diecast Robby figure, manafacutred in Japan by X-Plus, at the Denver Worldcon. It sits next to my living-room workstation, looking over my shoulder as I type.

Note quite as nice as bringing home a Hugo from Denver -- but close! :)
