A trainer at SeaWorld, the fourth least entertaining theme park in America (DollyWood, Tweetsie Railroad and Rape Island being the top three) tragically drowned to death in a killer whale tank yesterday. Accounts vary but it seems that the whale had grabbed the trainer by the waist, shook her violently and pulled her under. The orca in question, Tillikum, is no stranger to danger. In 1999 he was suspected in the death of a 27 year old man which they found floating on the whale’s back. Tillikum (which in the Chinook Jargon of the Pacific Northwest means “People” as in “My favorite thing to destroy is People”), and two other whales also were involved in the drowning of a trainer at a Victoria, British Columbia, marine park in 1991.
This is serious business. We’ve got ourselves a 11,000-pound, 22-foot-long SERIAL Killer whale going from marine park marine park and leaving nothing but tragedy in it’s wake.
If there’s one thing we of the robot persuasion do better than entertaining others, it would most certainly be entertaining ourselves. Now the predominant way we do this is through clever home made word games. This is our new favorite and I invite you, our noble fan base in the dozens, to join in on the festivities.
Here are the oh so simple rules:
1. Take a movie title.
2. Replace a word in said movie title with the word “FRANKENSTEIN!”
3. AWESOME HAPPENS!
Told you AWESOME would happen.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to remind you that we have a show coming up this thursday evening, 10 pm at Actor’s theatre in Charlotte. It’s going to be several shades of enjoyable.
