Is the doctor a real person?

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

It better be hot there because that margarita better be iced.

Do you think they have sonic baths in Star Trek? IF they did the tub would have to be soft and nice to lie in.

 

[Guy Gardener]

One emitter seems safe-ish. Maybe after 40 years your teeth will fall out, but for every other emission stream that is crossing, it's just seems even more likely that something is going to pop, melt or cancerify.

As far as baths are concerned

A bad first experience can put you off forever

And if you don't enjoy a bath, then you're simply doing it wrong

(Interestingly, these two truths also apply to anal sex)


I wonder if the doctor can have a bath

I wonder.....if the doctor is a real person

 

[Guy Gardener]

There are two sorts of people in the world.

The sort of people who as a very young child shared a bath tub with another child who unate a floater beside them, and then there's the sort of people who shit while bathing.

 

[SPCTRE]

teacake, you're doing it wrong. Bathing, that is.

What you get is a waterproof iPad casing.

I am alarmed by the amount of hippies who think that the Doctor is a real person.

Sony stopped making Robot Dogs in 2006, and discontinued technical support last year. It's now only a matter of time. Robot dogs have to be very careful now, because they have become forsaken by Sony.

“The first time I spoke directly to a client he told me, ‘He’s not very well, can you examine him?’” Hiroshi Funabashi, a robot dog repairman, told AFP. “I realized he didn’t see it as a robot, but as a member of his family whose life was more important than his own.”

Robot Dogs have real funerals because Robot Dogs have real souls.

THIS IS REAL!

Remember Fred Savage burying his GI Joes (with full honours) in the back yard whenever they would die on a mission?

I had to defend why I didn't think the kid in Extant was a REAL KID to someone who told me "I cannot believe you are so heartless, I would think a Star Trek fan.." There may be a plot out there to suck us all in to caring very much about toasters.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Men can have sex with Toasters, and have had sex with toasters.

But if it's not plugged in at the wall, no one can argue that the toaster is "alive" or has a "soul".

I mean, maybe I say that men should only have sex with unplugged in Toasters, but you know there's a freak out there that gets off on the danger of fucking a toaster with a current running through it, and weirder freaks still who get off on the pain who actually enjoy toasting their dick.

If it's not plugged in, but toasters do have souls, then fucking a non plugged in toaster is necrophilia.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

That's what I don't get. Men do all these ridiculous things to get off but when it comes to women they expect them to look fantastic.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Nope. That's just women competing with women for the awfully low supply of decent men.

If all women agreed to lower the bar to make sweatpants formal wear, men couldn't do anything about it, and couldn't be bothered to do anything about it.

It's only in the last 7 years that "normal boring people" started having sex during day light or with the lights on.

Not seeing each other during sex really made us wonder what the big deal about beauty was?

I assumed it had something to do with women not thinking that they were beautiful after their prefect clothes were on the floor and their makeup was smeared all over the pillows.

Red Dwarf had a sentient toaster

Weirdly, that toaster seemed more self aware to me than the doctor

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Can I ask you a question, then...

Would you like some toast?

 

[hux]

I want no muffins, no toast, no tea cakes, no buns, baps, baguettes, or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes, and no hot cross buns, and definitely, no smeggin' flapjacks!

I would vote in favour of talkie toaster sentience

But not the doc

Ah...so you're a waffle man!

Not a coincidence.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I never waffle, I am very direct.

44 votes from a forum that has 25 thousand members

Come on people! This is important stuff. If we don't determine whether or not the doctor is sentient, how the hell can we all sleep at night.

 

[Guy Gardener]

25 thousand members over the course of 17 years.

Less than a thousand current active members.

Less than a hundred online at the same time.

Maybe 40 prolific members you can really, really learn how to hate.

More than half the total member ship since the year 2000 quit and never came back before they made Captain.

Oh, and Voyager's suckiness repels the really cool kids on the BBS.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I wish this poll was public so I could see who voted. I want to know who is okay with the human race gradually being replaced by "sentient" holograms who will be marrying all the good looking people, adopting babies, running for office, eliminating FOOD as their ultimate plan. Yes I said it, a few generations our time and the first hologeneration of Real Holo-People will have severely reduced all food on this planet to make way for holoemitters and holotheme parks and we will be all living off pills because the people in power will tell us that is all we need.

 

[hux]

Yeah, you can do that can't you. My bad

Next time (for the.....is Tuvix a real person thread)

I think you can work out who some of them are though. I would generalise that all the nice people voted yes and all the smart arses voted no
