The coffee table has always been here. And good heavens no! Do you take me a monster? *points downward toward coasters beneath my feet*

Thanks to Hayabusa/Ryoku for the set.
I can't fathom how we missed it in all the rearrangements and rewinds, but I believe you.
We may not hold the same beliefs about tea, but you're alright in my book. For a teathen.

*sips tea while balancing on one leg* Oh, did you say something?
Thanks to Hayabusa/Ryoku for the set.
*holds up one of the destroyed bots*
Alas, poor Yoomba. We hardly knew ye.
We can save him.
Thanks to Hayabusa/Ryoku for the set.
No, nothing, of course...
Let me see! *Snatches the dying roomba.*
Alas, poor Yoomba! I knew him, Naming, a fellow of infinite charge, of most excellent suction. He hath borne small mammals on his back a thousand times, and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those buttons that I have pressed I know not how oft. —Where be your sweeping now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment that were wont to lift the table crumbs from the floor? Not one now to mock your own spinning? Quite brushfallen? Now get you to my lady’s chamber and tell her, let her litter an inch thick, to this favor she must come. Make her laugh at that.—Prithee, Hannelorian, tell me one thing...
How can we save him? *Faints onto floor dramatically.*

This royal waste of kings, this sceptered roomba, This earth of majesty, this seat of Yoomba, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of robot, this little wonder, This precious machine set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands. This blessed Yoomba, this patch of floor, this house, this very forum.
By Gods we'll do whatever it takes!

"this seat of Yoomba" is definitely a phrase that will be repeated... theft'd.

Bravo! Oh, Bravo!
It's hard to believe such majesty was spawned from a random throwaway line. The literature nerd in me is very well pleased.
All praise goes to the seat of Yoomba, may he rest in peace.
Thanks to Hayabusa/Ryoku for the set.
