TR Contest: Your One Nerdiest Wish
 |
For some reason, I’m suddenly in a very shitty mood. It took me a long time to figure out a Topless Robot contest that wasn’t about the murder and sexual defilement of executives from a certain television network. But it got me thinking — if I had one wish right now, and it had to be nerdy, I’d blow it ensuring Futurama had another long, wonderful TV run, but on Comedy Central, with the original cast members, of course.
So there we go. You have one wish, and it has to be nerdy. That’s it. Want to collect some super-rare Japanese toy they made five of in 1995? Wish you hadn’t drawn over that copy of Amazing Fantasy #1 your dad gave you when you were 6? Want to resurrect one of the myriad great sci-fi shows Fox has canceled over the years? Want to make sure that I, Rob Bricken, have the opportunity to rape the skulls of all Fox executives, yet escape for my crimes? Let me know.
The contest ends at 12:01 am on Monday, July 20th, EST, and I should let you know that because I’ll be at the San Diego Comic Con next week, there won’t be a TR contest next Friday. I’ll make up for it by giving away a ton of shirts at the con, though. More TR@SDCC details to come next week!
