Introducing Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 177

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 177.

When Robot No. 177 came through the portal and saw that Robot No. 174 is still making pies from their gigantic pumpkin they couldn’t contain their excitement. They started beeping and booping and buzzing about the kitchen talking about how they’d heard of these things called “pies” and how humans have such strong opinions about them and what goes into them and how everyone has their own recipe and they’re all a bit different and how in some places you could even win a blue ribbon for a good pie!

I wasn’t sure we’d ever be able to calm Robot No. 177 down enough to answer some of the questions that were streaming out of them, let alone to sit down and look at a pie. They’re now busy reading through all my cookbooks learning all about baking and pies especially. Every once in a while, they talk to themselves and I can hear them saying things like, “A savoury pie, what?!” as they lean in closer, or “I wonder if coating the crust with chocolate….”

I love how voracious their curiosity is and I’m so glad that once they’re done with my cookbook collection we have the library we can go to! And because they have learned so much about food, they’ve decided to be a Do-Gooder for World Central Kitchen.

Join the Supermurgitroid family, where every robot has a story, and every story inspires change.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 174

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 174.

Do-Gooder Robot No. 174 is quiet, and is often more of an observer and introvert than in the middle of all the excitement. They quietly came through the portal one day, and are always pleasant and kind, but sometimes it’s a bit easy to miss them if you don’t really see them because they are so quiet. They often follow us along and just take everything in.

Before Halloween, Robot No. 49 and Robot No. 173 were deep in Halloween preparations, and sent a bunch of robots out to the pumpkin patch to get the best possible pumpkins. Somehow it got missed that Robot No. 174 wasn’t with the bunch when they returned.

Turns out Robot No. 174 had gone deep into the patch where the biggest pumpkins were and was deep in thought thinking about all the amazing possibilities these pumpkins held. They missed when everyone else was coming back. Which, actually worked out for them, because they were able to spend so much time deciding which pumpkin was the best. They weren’t upset when they’d realized the others had left, they just started walking home with their gigantic pumpkin.

Unfortunately, we had to break it to Robot No. 174 that they’d missed Halloween, and all the pumpkins had been carved. They looked a little disappointed, but shrugged their shoulders and said that it would still make the best pumpkin treats – like pie, doughnuts, and pudding!

Robot No. 174 wants to be a Do-Gooder for World Central Kitchen so everyone can have good food to make them feel good when they need it the most.

Supermurgitroid Robot No. 174 is available on Threadless Artist Shop ! Join the Supermurgitroid family, where every robot has a story, and every story inspires change.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 46

Please let me introduce my friend, Supermurgitroid Robot No. 46!

One day Robot No. 46 was rummaging through the linen closest, and as I got closer, I realized they were saying “Booo – ooooo” to themselves. I asked if I could help, and they said we didn’t have the right sheet, they were too floral, stripey, and not white. They were quite upset, so we went shopping. Once we were in the aisle of sheets, I was looking at the twin sizes, and they said those were too small. I realized we weren’t shopping for the same thing.

Robot No. 46 was looking for a sheet to make a ghost costume! Their squeal of delight could be heard throughout the store when they found the perfect sheet! Robot No. 46 was so proud on Halloween night to have their perfect, crisp, white, plain, ghost costume. They got so much candy it was falling out of their bucket, and they were more than happy to share with the kids of the neighbourhood, making them even more popular on their most favourite day!

Do you love Halloween like Robot No. 46? Come and bring them home from my Threadless Artist Shop and celebrate together!

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 49

Please let me introduce my friend, Supermurgitroid Robot No. 49!

Robot No. 49 had a day. They had a big plan for our Halloween decorations; it was themed, grand, and spooky. We were all so excited and were trying to help, but we ended up being more of a constraint.

Robot No. 49 ended up being so frustrated they needed a break, and had a seat on the stairs. Unfortunately, some of the decorations had been precariously placed leaning against the railing, and the pile toppled onto Robot No. 49 when they sat down.

Their head connector broke, and we had to wait until a replacement part came back in stock. This meant they had to carry their head on a plate, which of course made it so they couldn’t do all they wanted to on Halloween night.

When the kids started trick-or-treating, Robot No. 49 loitered by the door, just wanting to take in as much of the celebrations they could. When the kids started noticing Robot No. 49, they were delighted and thought it was perfect for Halloween.

This made Robot No. 49 so happy! They joined in the fun, and embraced their plate for the night!

Do you feel like you’re about to lose your head like Robot No. 34? They can help you cope, head over to my Threadless Artist Shop and find the item that will help you feel less alone in the mayhem!

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 43

Please let me introduce you to my Supermurgitroid friend Robot No. 43!

Robot No. 43 is not a savvy trick-or-treater, in fact, they don’t really understand it at all. As they don’t have a nose, they thought it was great humans were going to help them figure out if they stink! They got really confused when they were given candy in response to “Trick-or-treat, smell my feet!”

To add to their dismay, they found out that the corn syrup in most candies will clog up their internal gears, so they can’t even ingest any of the candy they’ve been given!

Robot No. 43 really needs some human help this Halloween. They need to see proper trick-or-treating! They promise to give all their candy in return! They’ll also help you with your costume. (It’s not well known, but robots have a keen sense of what makes a good costume. It comes from many years of trying to fit into our human world – they’re ever evolving and paying attention to what humans think is stylish.)

If you think you are the right human to help Robot No. 43, please follow one of the following links to bring them home!

Take them home from any of these shops: Threadless Artist Shop, Redbubble or Art of Where.

Take care,

Leslie
