Hung out at R's a bit tonight -- he was still running the Roomba when I got there, and while he was delighted with it, one of the Bluesmen was over and was Not Impressed. Pah!

And whoever said he was going to try to feed it stuff was totally right. Not change, thank goodness, but increasingly large pieces of tortilla chip. Yes, R has indeed reverting to subsistence on chips and salsa.

He loves that thing. He's bonded with it. We ran into Bland as we were walking back to my place...

Bland: What are you doing?
Me: Oh, just heading --
R: WALKING THE ROOMBA, OF COURSE.

Bless.

I'd suggest his indulgent and cleanliness-obsessed mother get him one. But then it occurred to me that it'd fill her with jealous rage – someone else is cleaning my son's apartment! And he loves it more than he loves me!

LOL, that is EXACTLY the thought process she would have.

Then she'd make the Roomba move out.

...and then it could move in with you, and with YOUR roomba, and one day you'd come home and, oh gods, find them mating... **hides eyes**

They'd produce offspring like little mobile dustbusters, you know. Awwwwww.. a litter of roomblets!

Has anyone ever tried running two roombas at the same time? Do they get territorial? Would they hunt each other down the way they anecdotally do with cats? Or would they find each other irresistible? I think this is a question worthy of a full-fledged scientific review.

Just as soon as the grant money comes through for a second roomba, I'll let you know :D

And then they, and Sam, and R (and possibly Bland...) could recreate most of * batteries not included.
