Number one, a better fitting T-shirt with Bender and his catchphrase, possibly one of the greatest character introductions ever. I bought this from Hot Topic a couple years ago but it was a tad small, stupid online purchase. It pays to just score it on an impulse while killing time at the mall.
Second is a freebie at the iTunes store…make your own head in a jar. Not necessarily your own head per se, you pick various stencils-templates. It’s pretty similar to the online Burger King Simpson maker from 2007. The similarities aren’t as close with this attempt yet I figure I could get it right in a week or so (he looks more like my cubicle neighbor). Meanwhile, enjoy what I think is the future of tech support.
The final and best acquisition is my talking Bender action figure. I scored him before Comedy Central’s site ran out; there were four remaining the, they’re sold out now. He says 12 different phrases and has three sets to eyes. My co-worker Ben, who also shares my enthusiasm, was present to hear Bender’s first words…”Bite My Shiny Ass!” Very appropriate! I’ll close this post with something else Bender chose to say at Starbucks.
I wonder if it is programmed that he will say that first every time. If not that makes it even better. Have to love the Bender. One of the best characters on TV today!
