Throwing Shade

Reminded me of a stupid punishment that the UK government introduced a while ago---the Antisocial Behaviour Order, or ASBO. I grew up with people who got one and considered it a badge of honour. Eventually a new government came in and replaced it with something equally ineffective.

OMG yes it's such a perfect, cute little detail.

I love the square drunk bubbles for the robots (not to be confused with Bubbles)

Shawn K. Younkin

I agree w/ that!

No antenna, but, hey, how many lampshades have a ponytail?

..."voop" "vip" "voop"... - the sounds that square drunk bubbles make as they derezz.

For a moment, I thought the lampshade had an antenna...

I love that MF pulls a silly “I AM A ROBOT I MUST OBEY” routine... as a robot. Mighty meta. :)

Now Jeph will have to redraw and rewrite the next page in order to bamboozle you. My money is on "cut to a different scene".

J. Michael

Only in QC can you make that sort of statement.

MercuryBuddha

Clearly dealt with drunk robots before... XD

Summer Sudbrink

Must be Italian.

Totally missed that.

That lampshade is gonna break, she’s gonna panic and buy a new one, and it’ll be revealed that the original is actually junk. If I’m right about this series of events then I will buy a lottery ticket because I can see into the goddamn future

Spoogle McGee

Somebody needs to revoke a few of MF's in-app permissions.

Spike

Square drunk bubbles! Ha!

Andrew Diseker

OBEY. CLICHE. OBEY CLICHE. OKAY.

Yonatan Zunger

Have I mentioned that I really like Renée?

David Jackson

I think it's been established that she absolutely *can* become undrunk, she just doesn't want to. ...so, uh, in answer to your question... yes.

A.A. aka Double

Given Millie's past drinking and behavior, and that she can't become undrunk like other AIs, would this qualify as a drinking problem?

Chason

...because she got drunk, once?

Cliff

How do you trick a post-singularity drunk AI? The same way you trick a drunk frat boy. Hahaha

Alacrity Fitzhugh

Fly her apart then!

Alacrity Fitzhugh

We've all been there...

JD

Renee is smart. I'm a little worried that Millefeuille has a drinking problem though.

Joel Bateman

Millie is best lamp. Don't @ me

SpazzyC

If we don't break free in 15 seconds, she'll belly up.

RobertC

Inadvertently finding root access.. priceless

Michael Boettger

Renee is wise beyond her years. Good solution.

Bailey Tighe

The obligatory drunk-with-a-lampshade-on-their-head has arrived!

Throttles stuck at full, Cap'n!
