1) A drabble is, by definition, a 100-word story therefore all responses should be 100 words exactly, no exceptions.
2) You may also choose to respond to this challenge with a five-minute sketch.
3)PLEASE put the word DRABBLE at the top of your post. That way people can easily spot the drabbles in amongst any reader comments they receive.
RATING:I don't think this should be limited so reader beware that they could be any rating (you could put it in the subject line if you feel it needs it)

PLEASE try to remember to make each drabble a comment in response to the original post. That way, if the comments start to collapse, the drabbles themselves should remain visible.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
Robots. Either or both of the boys as a robot, or the canon meat-flavored versions interacting with any real or fictional automaton you can think of.

“If one does not find a robot-inspired workers revolt to be distressing, sir.”
“Whatsit?”
“In Lang’s original production, which I was fortunate enough to view in Berlin…”
“Enough, Jeeves.”
“Very good, sir.”
“Now, what robot precisely?”
“The Robot Josaphat, sir.”
“King Jehosaphat who destroyed the images of Baal?”
“No, sir. Josaphat, a shiny robot....”
“The shiny bloke? I thought he was a rather dour minstrel. But more like Bingo, what? Do minstrels incite riots?”
“Of course, sir.”
“I say! Are you funning with me, Jeeves?”
“Oh, I would enjoy that very much, sir.”

Date: 2013-03-28 12:17 am (UTC)Yes, there are other J-3 generation mechanical valets, but none of them are Jeeves. All of them are tall, all have been fitted with dark hair over an extra-large cranial chamber to hold the finest processor ever built, and all of them shimmer about with the finest quantum teleportation technology, but only my man (and so he is to me, all you Humanity First blighters can go jump in a sewer) has that certain Jeevesian thingness that means so much. I've learned classical pieces on piano just to watch the dreamy look that comes over his faceplate as he listens.

Date: 2013-03-28 07:18 am (UTC)The last product of the Wooster Robotics line is an intensely loveable companion model, and I feel particularly fortunate to own the one I do. His processor is prone to glitching, but I have come to believe that this is due to his incredibly finely-tuned emotional sensors and resonators stealing focus. He is a marvel of artificial intelligence, making leaps and bounds in the softer and more graceful things that are beyond most automatons. It does not matter if higher mathematics and Spinoza's ideas are alike beyond him, because he knows how to make me smile when nothing else will.

Date: 2013-03-30 06:05 am (UTC)Pater had been a sponsor of this science chappy. Tessie? Teapot? Whatever. Foreign sort with a yen for pigeons. The man needed some of the folding to carry out experiments, and he left one of his previous inventions as collateral. Babbage machine on legs.
When I was orphaned, things were boxed up. Forgotten until I ran into our old solicitor midway between Putney and Mortlake. He had the crate forwarded to my flat.
I opened the box, flipped a switch, and – there you have it. Jeeves.

Well done!

“I regret to inform you, sir, this ‘robot’ is a fake.”
“It’s not a fake, Jeeves! I say, you there, can you make the robot talk?”
“Of course, sir. Mr. Metallo, say hello to these gentlemen.”
“HELLO, GENTLEMEN. GIVE ME ANY MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM AND I SHALL SOLVE IT.”
“Right ho! Mr. Metallo, what’s five and sixty-two?”
“SIXTY-SEVEN.”
“Ha! Now you, Jeeves, ”
“What is the square root of sixty-seven?”
“…ONE MOMENT, PLEASE… THERE HAS BEEN AN ERROR…”
“Indeed there has.”
