Sick Day
 |
?Guess what? Major chain grocery stores aren’t thrilled when you suddenly start bazooka-barfing in the frozen foods section, a fact I discovered first-hand about 30 minutes ago. Who knew? The result is I’m sorry to say that I’ll be taking the rest of the day off to involuntarily expel bodily fluids from my every orifice. I promise that I’d prefer to be writing Topless Robot instead, and I apologize for any inconvenience/boredom this may cause, but hopefully I’ll be back tomorrow morning, if not at 100%, at least able to control my bodily functions.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
