    Love the British boss' approach to PR:

    Just the prototype

    It just needs some miniaturization work to make Llamatron.

    Which "British accent"?

    I do hope that it spoke with RP.

    Almost eaten doesn't count.

    "Almost" only counts in horseshoes (a game), hand grenades, and nuclear warheads.
