She makes me soooooooooooooooooooooooo hot! Will you go out with me?

It might seem funny now, but in 20 years you might be able to marry the later versions in CA…

Being an engineer myself, if you can mentally get past the fact that it is a machine, we CAN build the rest for you… And don’t worry, there will NOT be a b**** mode :D

Expect this to be one of those things that just will not go away. Might as well work on a Reagan robot too for the republicans to make love to in the coming lonely years they are facing. :D But with only six republicans left, there might not be much of a market…

This is another example of the adult market that men in Japan are using to relax in their off time instead
of dating.

Work and hobbies are what the younger male in Japan is interested now days.

This article gives a bit of background as to part of the changes happening.

For an island nation that seems to be bursting at the seams, there are some seriously lonely people there.

Sean

I read where Rover said he was in Marketing of some sort.

Rover   June 20th, 2008 - 8:46 pm

Sean and Wolfen I own and operate a Ice Cream Shop in the Bay Area in Calif. I did work for a stock brokerage for awhile but its a rotten cut throat business. Maybe that is where you got the marketing idea at Wolfen. Now I serve up cones to all the lovely people who enter my shop and smile all the time.

By the way it looks as though Global Warming has hit early this year. Its 92 degrees in SF today everyone is worried and talking about the high temps. Good fro Ice cream sales though.

I, the “other” Rover am the engineer. I’m not allowed in ice cream shops since I am already big enough :D You can tell us apart because my comments are usually far left wing ultra liberal and filled with hate for anything republican. I also tend to write long comments.

Sounds like both Rover’s live in SF. “With only 6 republicans left”, ha ha ha…. Really, keep thinking like that and watching CNN – that’s where the REAL news can be found….
