Chogokin Holocaust!!!

Well, it's been an interesting day. The 'Rents were passing through on their way from Florida back home to Connecticut, and they stopped by to take me out to dinner. We dined at The Cheesecake Factory, they'd never been, and I'd only gone for the first time a few months back. If you've never been, it's actually quite a surprise, the name conjures up images of an old style bakery, specializing in Cheesecakes that also serves sandwiches. In actuality, the Cheesecake Factory has a very diverse menu with well in excess of 200 distinct meal options. We really enjoyed ourselves, I had the Bang Bang Chicken and Shrimp ( a spicy Thai style dish), my Mother had Chicken Madeira, and my Dad had the Hungarian Goulash. We split 3 different types of cheesecake between the three of us, and enjoyed them all.


I returned to my office and was met by a scene of carnage that nothing could have prepared me for. As I entered my office, Chogokin were scattered everywhere! My priceless collection of robots were strewn throughout my office. The Temple of Grendizer itself was desecrated!!! My Daigokin Grendizer had taken over my seat at my desk, GaiKing was sprawled across my trackball, my Garada K7 was riding my tape dispenser like it was a horse. My Grendizer mini-metal was standing atop the docking cradle for my PDA. Mazinger Z's scrander was balanced (shockingly well) atop my LCD display, some of the smaller Shogun Warriors were perched atop push pins on my bulletin board, somehow the 3” tall Getter Poseidon was standing atop the canister of lens cleaner. I don't know when I last laughed so hard!!!


Tomorrow, I'm bringing my camera in so I can post pictures of the carnage. I'm also pretty sure who did it, and I'm hoping to walk in and act traumatized at what was done to my robots. :P


This business of workplace automation has gone too far!!!



I had to fight my way past GaiKing to use my trackball!

I'm still trying to figure out this balancing act; I can barely get this guy to stand up on my desktop!!
