1.) I like the song a lot, but as an overly-rationalistic type I must ask,
2.) Wouldn’t they also know that it were the Christmas season by the appearance of the robotic “Santa Claus”en…of course, using the term might be their way of avoiding further redaction of the message, and they’re out all year ’round.

But it would particularly sinister if they usually were just glowing-red-eyse-and-metal overseer-bots most of the time, but dressed up as Santa for the season, as sinister as the messages stencilled on bombs’ being altered to match the season.

My brain blames you for the loop it has been on since downloading this. Come December I’ll be merrily decorating my house as Chiron Beta Prime, with the role of Robot Overlord played by my aluminium-foil-clad cat.

That tune was double plus good. Some of the best yet. My favorite is the redacted message. I have never been an avid sci-fi fan in particular, but I can always see your vision through your music. Thanks.

Dude,
I’d fall down and proclaim, “I’m not worthy, I’m not worthy” over this one, if I hadn’t already done that a dozen times before. Some clever boys from the Yale assembly line.

I can’t think why I have never before mentioned my appreciation for the music of Jonathan Coulton. After all, he’s the singer/songwriter behind such classics as Skullcrusher Mountain (listen), a beautiful love song told from the viewpoint of a derang…

I love it. I ecspecially love the synth solo. I think that this is something you should put on the “Best of Jonathan Coulton” album. We know you will have one.
