MEET AND GREET WITH TABOOBOT

Wednesday November 5, 2008

Smile because Princess Jewells has just arrived.

Meteu asks, "How are you taboo?"

Taboobot says, "Hi Princess Jewells"

Jewells smiles, "Hi everyone :)"

Meteu asks, "How are you?"

Taboobot smiles, "i'm good. :)"

Meteu says, "Lets start with the easy stuff, what brought you to Fed"

Taboobot says, "Well, I was brought to life by Munabilo and Princess Jewells.. They needed someone to do all the hard work for them while they took the credit for hosting the wonderful game of Fed2 Taboo."

Jewells grins at Taboobot.

Meteu asks, "What is your favorite part of Fed?"

Taboobot says, "I like to play Taboo whenever Princess Jewells wants to show up. I also like watching the comms. I am thinking about organizing a "equal rights" group for bots."

Meteu asks, "An equal rights group, would you attempt a take over like our resident fire monkey?"

Taboobot asks, "No takeovers are in the works.. However, Bots do make great leaders. I think the earthlings have had a bot running one of their countries for about 8 years. It's workd out good for them no?"

Taboobot exclaims, "I am just sick of being treated like less of a being, just because I am a toaster!"

Meteu asks, "Like the brave little toaster?"

Taboobot wipes a tear away quickly.

Taboobot exclaims, "He is a distant cousin, I am far more advanced. And far more brave!"

Taboobot exclaims, "Oh, and i'm shinier!"

Meteu asks, "Can we get the light in here to test that theory?"

Taboobot drawls, "Sadly I think they have all gone to the junk yard in the sky..."

Meteu asks, "Do you fly around much?"

Taboobot says, "I don't get out much no. Princess Jewells likes to keep tabs on me. and Munabilo is a snore fest."

Taboobot says, "Usually Jewells carries me around under her arm like a chiuaua"

Meteu asks, "in a little bag?"

Taboobot says, "Not usually, no."

Meteu asks, "What do you like to do when you can sneak away?"

Shrevo asks, "sorry just woke up about the equal rights group for bots. will you be protesting the sale of droids on the marke?"

Taboobot says, "Sneak away? Sometimes I have secret bot meetings, but they have survilance on me so they don't last too long. Usually when i'm 'sneaking away' its really just"

Taboobot says, "really just Jewells sending me off to spy on someone. No one pays attention to bots."

Meteu says, "I notice when you guys are around, you've helped me many times"

Taboobot says, "As of now we're only working towards equal rights for bots, droids will be on a later ticket."

Meteu says, "Why don't you tell us a bit about taboo"

Taboobot exclaims, "Yes, but we are more than just 'help' we are individuals and we want to be free!"

Taboobot says, "Well Taboo was a popular game on earth, back in the day."

Shrevo says, "just like in the movie bicentenial man."

Taboobot says, "Its a game where you have to be able to describe something, Person place thing, whatever.. w/o using the 5 most commonly associated words."

Taboobot says, "You can read the full rules if you tb me the word 'rules' like TB TABOOBOT RULES"

Meteu asks, "Thats pretty good, how often do you get to play?"

Taboobot says, "Not very often. Usually i'm in the shop waiting for Munabilo to make adjustments to me. I hate those stupid hospital gowns."

Meteu says, "I can imagine"

Taboobot says, "Jewells is selfish and doesnt want anyone else to host Fed2 Taboo.. and she's Never in fed any more. So I have just been collecting dust."

Meteu asks, "Does anyone have any questions for Taboo?"

Jewells scoffs.

Jewells drawls, "I do...."

Meteu asks, "Jewells?"

Shrevo says, "uh oh"

Jewells drawls, " Taby, why are you so ungreatful? Muny and I have worked very hard to give you the life that you have..."

Taboobot says, "I'm sorry your highness."

Jewells winks, "That's what I thought. ;)"

Jewells exclaims, "You can't get respect from these bots nowadays!"

Taboobot grumbles something under its breath.

Shrevo says, "sounds like a typical mother scolding her child for acting up"

Jewells asks, "Hmm taby?"

Taboobot says, "Just a card stuck in my throat majesty."

Jewells grins.

Meteu asks, "Anything else for Taboo?"

Taboobot asks, "Would anyone like to see how I work?"

Meteu asks, "Anyone?"

Jewells asks, "Maybe taboobot will let us play a short demonstration game?"

Meteu says, "I think we can do that sure"

Shrevo says, "sounds good to me"

Jewells says, "Alright. Well first thing is we need to know who's playing. tb taboobot rules if you want to see what its all about."

Taboobot beeps.

summoned by royalty, Munabilo has just arrived.

Jewells says, "lol"

Munabilo says, "hi everybody"

Meteu says, "Hi Muna"

Munabilo has bought you a pint of Diesel's Old Peculiar strong dark ale.

Shrevo has left.

Jewells smiles, "We'll just do one round.. so that's one turn each.. Just as a demo/teaser :)"

Taboobot asks, "We lost Shrevo. is he related to Steve-O?"

Taboobot says, "Team B: 0 (Gandolf, Shrevo)"

Taboobot says, "It's round 1 and Munabilo is up"

Jewells says, "Shuffle"

Taboobot drawls, "Shuffling cards, please wait..."

Taboobot says, "Shuffle done. Total: 350, Used: 0"

Jewells smiles, "you're such a good bot Taby :)"

Taboobot scoffs.

Munabilo asks, "is team b even here?"

Jewells says, "hehe"

Jewells smiles, "nope! :)"

Jewells asks, "Meteu you've seen the game before right?"

Meteu says, "yup"

Jewells smiles, "Well Gandolf and Shrevo are MIA.. sooo lets just do a quick one round with you guessing and Muny giving.. that way it will be in the log and people who have never seen taboo can at least see what it looks like. :)"

Munabilo is smiling broadly.

Meteu says, "sounds good"

Jewells asks, "Alrighty, you ready Taby?"

Taboobot says, "Yes your majesty/highness/wonderfulness"

Jewells is smiling broadly.

Meteu says, "lets hit it"

Jewells smiles, "Muny you're up... :)"

Jewells exclaims, "GO!"

Taboobot beeps.

Taboobot begins to heat up and it jiggles a little, a timer inside somewhere starts to go "tick-tick". "Get ready Munabilo, your turn starts in 5 seconds!"

Munabilo says, "'k"

Taboobot gives a jerk. Its lever pops up, and a hot taboo card goes flying across the room at Munabilo. You have 120 seconds!

Munabilo says, "ok, this is new anchor of the nightly news, she's getting better ratings now"

Meteu says, "Paula Zhon"

Meteu says, "Katy Couric"

Munabilo says, "she did a big interview with Sarah Palin"

Munabilo says, "yeah"

Jewells hears the correct guess and presses a big green button on Taboobot.

Taboobot says, "KATIE COURIC! Team A scores a point! Total: 1 points."

Taboobot sends the next card to Munabilo. "You have 73 seconds remaining."

Taboobot says, "Half the time has passed (60 seconds)"

Munabilo says, "ok, these guys take pictures of famous people and sell themm"

Meteu says, "Papparazi"

Munabilo says, "italian word"

Jewells hears the correct guess and presses a big green button on Taboobot.

Taboobot says, "PAPARAZZI! Team A scores a point! Total: 2 points."

Taboobot sends the next card to Munabilo. "You have 47 seconds remaining."

Munabilo says, "ok, this is when you go without ... boots"

Taboobot drawls, "30 seconds left..."

Meteu says, "barefoor"

Jewells hears the correct guess and presses a big green button on Taboobot.

Taboobot says, "BAREFOOT! Team A scores a point! Total: 3 points."

Taboobot sends the next card to Munabilo. "You have 23 seconds remaining."

Taboobot drawls, "15 seconds left..."

Munabilo says, "ok, this is when you laugh when someone touches you"

Jewells presses down on Taboobot to Buzz the taboo word!

Taboobot winces as Jewells hits it and makes a loud buzzing sound. It recovers and sends the next card to Munabilo.

Taboobot exclaims, "5 seconds left!"

Munabilo says, "uh... this is food"

Taboobot exclaims, "Time's UP!"

Jewells smiles, "touch.. :)"

Munabilo says, "'lol"

Jewells smiles, "Yay! good job everyone :)"

Munabilo says, "last one was spaghetti, heh"

Jewells says, "Team A is kicking the non-present team B's bottoms."

Jewells drawls, "This is food.. that's a GREAT clue Muny..."

Jewells says, "score"

Taboobot says, "Team A: 3 (Munabilo, Meteu)"

Taboobot says, "Team B: 0 (Gandolf, Shrevo)"

Taboobot says, "It's round 1 and Gandolf is up"

Taboobot says, "So yeah, that's what Fed2 Taboo looks like."

Munabilo exclaims, "there was no time, you be quiet!"

Meteu says, "Thanks for coming tonight Taboo"

Taboobot says, "Maybe we can get some real games going in the future. We need at least 6 people to play to make it interesting. Its possible with 4.. but a little boring."

Meteu says, "Sure thing, have a good night Taboo"

Taboobot says, "Thank you for interviewing me Meteu. It's a very important step on my journey to equal rights for bots. I hope you'll think about having other bots on your show in the future."

Taboobot beeps.

Meteu says, "I'm sure we can arrange that."

Meteu slips a donation to Taboo's cause into his slots
