why did the robot go back to robot school?

[zerotohiro]

[Jack you're lucky Hiro's still up. The response comes almost immediately.]

...dunno, Jack. Why'd the robot go back to robot school?

[2cool4guardian]

[In another context he would wonder if Hiro is having nightmares or something. Right now though, he needs entertainment.]

because his skills were getting a little rusty!

[zerotohiro]

[It's that and Hiro overworking himself on a project but what else is new? Still, he's happy to provide this kind of entertainment.]

Ha. Ha. Ha. How long did it take you to come up with that one?

[2cool4guardian]

a life time of deep meditation
why did the robot cross the road?

[zerotohiro]

idk because he was programed to?

[It's late, spelling and actually typing full words is for squares.]

[2cool4guardian]

because the chicken programed it to
you ruined it :(

[zerotohiro]

I did not. Okay okay I promise not to spoil your punchlines. What else you got?

[He's still suspicious what Jack's doing and why these are coming at this hour, but whatever.]

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack? Ever being suspicious? Surely you jest.]

you totally did
and for that you must make up for it
your turn! :D

[zerotohiro]

Whoa! What makes you think I have robot jokes? [Other than he's a huge nerd.]

[2cool4guardian]

they don't have to be robojokes
(neeeeeeeerd)
just jokes
you do know jokes right ¬¬

[zerotohiro]

Oh my god of course I know jokes. What kind of person do you take me for? Just 'cause I'm not the guardian of fun...

[But he sure is the Guardian of Stalling. Hiro, this isn't that hard.]

[2cool4guardian]

more like the guardian of excuses
still waiting!

[zerotohiro]

I'd be a pretty good guardian of excuses, you have to admit.

Anyway, fine. Why was the robot getting pissed off?

[2cool4guardian]

idk the jury is still out
because i froze its battery again?

[zerotohiro]

No, because

Wait AGAIN? DID YOU DO SOMETHING TO BAYMAX WITH YOUR ICE POWERS?

[2cool4guardian]

huh
your robot isn't the only one in the colony
nerd

[zerotohiro]

That doesn't answer my questions you know.

[2cool4guardian]

well
it wasn't baymax

[zerotohiro]

Good.

And because someone was pushing his buttons. That's it. That's the punchline.

[2cool4guardian]

ok you deserve a lol
both at the joke and at being so protective of your roboboyfriend

[zerotohiro]

He is NOT my roboboyfriend, wtf. He's my best friend. Wouldn't you be protective of your best friend too?

[2cool4guardian]

[The answer takes a bit to arrive. Having a best friend is still something that takes time to get used to. Joking probably will help with this.]

i would but he likes his dragon better :'(
you two are alike like that

[zerotohiro]

[This just makes everything so much worse now considering how that worked out for Jack...]

Maybe it's time for you to get with the program and get a mascot-buddy, too. Maybe we can find you a nice snowman or something.
