At the ATM earlier today (insert RRTHUR's 'Xmas knows how to use an atm??' joke here....pause for laughter to subside...AND we're back) and I noticed that anytime I was to press "no" the choice was always "No, thanks." "Thanks"? Really? Does my automatic politeness really mean something to these people? "Oh look, every one at our ATM is SOOOOO polite!" It's not like I had a choice between "No, thanks" and "No, eat a bag of dicks", you know? And I know it's a fucking machine, I don't need this small bit of human touch in for affect. It's like when your on one of those automated voice things on the phone for a service call. It's a computer talking, but it's not only in a sweet, feminine voice but from time to time it tries to sound human with a slight "uhm" or pretending to be slightly startled "uh...oh, ooookay, let's see..." I'd rather it be the voice from the computer in WarGames for fuck's sake. Camon. You're not fooling anybody - if I wanted to listen to a woman that sounds like a robot I'd fucking get married. I'd say Mr. Springsteen below got it wrong when it comes to the "Human Touch."

I don't know, Xmastime, I find the robotics comforting. But then, I respond to emoticons, special fonts and cheap swag.
hey...I guess Bruce Springfield disabled his 'Human Touch', so you have to settle for Rick Springsteen doing the robotics. Funny he looks like a kid.
ya know. i always tell the old ladies in the shower that no shower's finished til the crack work is done.
This is not a costume either. Guys in the early 80s actually dressed that way. Like Michael Jackson. It was the style. Ask your old friends.
