"Tipsy drives me Batty"
Dear editor
Why is it that with all the safeguards the city's
put into the traffic skyways and cars, some humans
still think it's acceptable to drive with "one too many?"
Case in point was yesterday while I was on my way
home from school. I scared our bus driver half to death
when I jumped out through the emergency door and caught
a speeding car just before it went into a sumersault after
the driver lost control.
When I checked the driver, I found his breath so toxic I
swear I could have lit it on fire. While I was holding him for
the police I asked him how he could have gotten behind
the wheel being so drunk. His reply?
"I disconnected the safety program, it's a drag on my driving."
Ugh!...I just about pulled my wires and bolts out from my
chest! I'm glad the police took him before I started smoldering
from the emotion overload.
Please everybody, please I'm begging you humans. Don't break
something that's not broke and don't do stupid stuff that makes
all the rumors I hear from my friends fact? For once I'd like to come
home, kick my moon boots off and play a full game of Nintendo like
all the normal kids in the city.

I'm such a boogybot!
Dear Editor,
I would like to honestly clarify to some of your human readers
who in the past few months have called me an evil "Boogybot".
I believe by now that I've made my points clear enough as to
why I have such a deep mistrust of the carbon-based flesh machine,
sorry..."YOU-MANS" to the emotionally sensitive.
I find it absolutely torturous to my superior mental facilities that while
you humans have programed us robots with superior qualities of goodness,
virture and moral behaviors...you are still a species sorely lacking in all of those!
It amazes me that you have lasted this long, it's even more of a shock that your favorite robot, Astro, still waddles around New Shinjuku blind as a bat and so willing to allow you all to have chance after un-regullated chance. In the end if you are not monitored and fawned over by those of us with better judgement, you'll end up destroying everything!
Think for this moment. You might yet enjoy having this "boogybot" over your bed at the end of the day.

Dear Editor,
I'm replying to Atlas's I'm such a boogybot! letter from last week. I'm glad you can type a letter there Atlas, at least you're good at something.
Fawning over and monitoring? I guess that's what you were doing two weeks ago when you ransacked the home of the power company supervisor. I guess it was because you were angry that the robots there were being worked double time without equal maintenance downtime. By the way you totally failed to find out why or bothered to find out that all the bots agreed to do it out of need to keep the power going during a serious malfunction at the generation facility.
You really fixed the problem, especially the supervisor's 4 year old daughter you terrified during your rant. Good going Atlas, you really helped all of us robots by putting night terrors into the mind of a defenseless little kid.
I know humans have their quirks and problems, don't lecture me but you know very well that we owe them our lives and you don't need to be a bull in a china shop to shepherd over them. Get off your stupid high horse, drop the superiority complex and stop acting like a total dumb ass!

Dear Editor,
Well. I see the minature chow used a grown up cuss word!
Surely a sign that you're growing up little brother, except in
the reality department. You still miss the fact that robots are
being thrown on scrap piles everyday because they've "outlived"
their usefullness. That many of our brothers and sisters seem
comfortable with over-working until their bodies fall apart and
that humans show no emotion or concern what so ever when
they toss another one of us into a smelting pot.
But as always their brave Astro will be there with his doggie
chain and hanging tongue to excuse their crimes and lie about
how "beneficial" we are to each other.
Someday you'll get it into your thick little metal skull that your
trust in the fleshies has been sorely abused.

Dear Editor,
I work in robotics at the Ministry of Science and I'd like to tell Atlas that he needs to clear the excess oil out of his brain. Robots are very much like humans when it comes to age and sometimes we can't replace a fried circuit board or a worn out positronic brain and sometimes hard drives are too far gone to save their memory so yes mister hard head....robots do die.
And don't think for one moment I never felt any sadness. A friend can be made of flesh or metal and when you've known them long enough, the empty feeling you get left with let's you know just how special they really were.
Oh yeah...If you're so big and bad there Smedley? Why is it Astro's always hauling your oversized butt to me for repairs? Just to let you know, I still have plenty of diamond hacksaw blades to cut those improvised road sign handcuffs off your hog-tied hands and feet.
