The Best Robot Chicken Sketches? Ever

OK, so maybe this is just in my opinion, but the list below are absolutely the best robot chicken sketches ever. Thank you Adult Swim for posting these gems online! I’m sure there are some I’ve missed, but at an initial glance, these are my favs!

Rank	Title	Why It’s Great
1	An Empire To Run	What isn’t there to like about this clip? It’s what every science fiction fan prays would happen!
2	Dance Your Cares Away	Karey didn’t get this one at first, until I explained where it came from. Just a great piece of imagination ? and who liked that old guy anyway?
3	Alien Front Line	“There goes Gene in his UFO again? big help he is”
4	Villain Car Pool	“Note to self: Blow up Fancher Elementary School!”
5	Tivo Ruins Lives	Just reminds me way too much about T & H!
6	Lil’ Hitler 1 2 and 3	“Lil’ Hitler, where’s lil’ Polaski?”
7	No Power	“It makes me very very proud to speak the following sentence? I’m the only one who brought a gun”
8	Benny Jubilee	As a fan of british comedy, this just rocks.
9	Pokeball High Life	I knew Pikachu was a partier
10	Hogan’s Heros	Man, wouldn’t it have been interesting if this the way the TV show actually was?
11	Sesame Street Quarentine	1 vaccine? 2 vaccines..
12	Jedi in Chief	Tacos Rule
13	Not Fully Operational Battle Station	“Look Mr. Saltine? I don’t tell you how to threaten your blond kids”
14	Lord Of The Dance	No explanation Needed.

Tested from a room in Health and Human Services using my T-Mobile Dash through Bluetooth PAN. Not too shabby for a cell phone!

"For those of you waiting patiently for your HTC jack-of-all-trades to hit the doormat, you can at least kill some time by picking up one of these new docks and trying to envision a phantom Advantage resting comfortably in the slot. The docking station features a second battery charger, two USB ports, a miniUSB port (for charging and syncing), a 3.5mm headphone jack, and two video out options (VGA and S-Video) -- giving you at least a few ways to get inside (and out) of the Advantage when you're at home."

The HTC Advantage is not only one of the few cutting-edge devices I'm not interested in (But that's not a knock on it's abilities, just my current needs), it's also one of the few devices that's dock looks almost as impressive as the device! Anyone getting the dock now in anticipation of the Advantage later?

"Good Mobile Messaging 5.0, is a best-of-both-worlds tool that "gives IT everything they could ever want" in terms of centrally controlling any policy over remote devices, while "not impairing users' ability to get stuff done on the smartphone." To a large degree that means managing applications. The new software allows IT departments to require all devices to use mandatory applications, such as virus-protection software, and to ban the launch of blacklisted applications not meeting company guidelines. Good 5 also allows advanced password and encryption management and the temporary lockdown of possibly compromised devices -- rather than a complete shutdown and erase requiring the full reinstalling of software if the device is recovered."

Is Good any good? I wouldn't know as I don't use it - but they look like they're stepping up a bit with a 5.0 release. Any Good users here? How Good is good? Does Good do any good for you? Are any of my repeated word sentences any good? Is it good that I'm ending this post? Smile

"I returned home from vacation today to find an interesting package on my doorstep. Tearing through the outer wrapping, I was excited to find a brand new Sprint Mogul by HTC. This is the first native WM6 device to hit Sprint's CDMA network, and I am really excited to take it for a test drive. Before I do, however, I thought I would give you a quick look at the device."

Holy Yellow Today Screens Batman! The Mogul looks like it's a gift to Sprint users, however I think that harsh yellow may be a bit too loud for an initial Today screen. Any Sprint-ers out there waiting to pick one up?

Product Category: Presentation Accessory

Where to Buy: Manufacturer's Website
Price: $249.99 USD
System Requirements: Windows Mobile Smartphone or Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 2003 or later and Microsoft Bluetooth. Projector or other display with VGA input.

It's small!; Software is snappy; Runs off standard USB for power.

Summary:
Ah presentations - a must for all of us in the corporate or academic worlds. However, presentations usually mean Powerpoint and Powerpoint usually means "Bring the Laptop!". Some of us get lucky and present in places with computers already set up (well, lucky in the sense that we find that our USB key doesn't work with that computer or that the file won't open). Still others of us get the joys of dragging around a laptop, finding cables, messing around with remotes, etc... However, Impatica's Showmate promises to change that by allowing you to plug in a small dongle to your projector, fire up the presentation on your mobile device, and present away. But does it work in the hectic world of meeting schedules and impatient audiences?
