Race City USA
Kenton here. I'm vacationing in Charlotte, NC for two days to visit my good friends Helen and Alicia. Josh and I drove up yesterday, and since then Helen's mother has been feeding us almost continually. We stuff our faces and loll around on our newly-rounded stomachs and burp softly. In the warm evenings the frogs respond across a pond, to our burps. We understand each other. Yesterday I left work early and returned to find my roommates dragging a piano across the street to our house. It took several minutes of severe exertion and now it is sitting on the sidewalk in front of our house. I watched from the window and an exceedingly pretty girls walked by and ran her hand over it, and smiled toothily pretty smile. I bought an electric typewriter today. The first thing I used it for was to write Helen's mother a thank-you note. Next I will use it to write a novel.
It feels so wonderful to be well-fed.

Yeah, that's exactly what I like about humans! After being pampered by all that food for body and soul they simply need to draw a line somewhere and grab something firm! So they chose a good and reliable piece of electrical hardware, a typewriter, yeah! And a robot for translation of each line of their novel no matter where they might be! It cool! - humans would say. I think it's wise and I'm on my way to like humans as my forefather the ElectypwriteR already does. As long as they feed him with electricity and tape it allows them to type. This is what I call wise!
Marvin
Kenton,
So good to see you happy and well fed! Wish that Marvin could be so happy, because (to be true), his depression is sometimes getting on my nerves. How to feed him to see such a bliss on his metal face? He is depressed maybe because of my slow translation and maybe because of millions small and big things in the Universe and I can't work under such pressure.
So, may I teleport him to you for a couple of days? He might be of some use if your electric machine gets out of order or you become too tired to type. To be true I hope that he might become a friend with your typewriter or maybe even love could be born out of all that electricity, chips and gears. So would you please take him for weekend. If yes, say his code name and teleport operation starts.
(Wait, if you have forgot his code, I have it written over here... no wait... I think it's in my bag... no... Well, got to ask Marvin for that, like for anything else...)
Bye and take care!

ok zo i will take marvin for the weekend and though i'd be glad if he and my beautiful new typewriter hit it off, i hope he does not distract it too much because i need to use it.
is there anything special i should know? does he like alternating or direct current? can one pet him like a dog? or should i not touch him
omg, Kenton, whatever you do just don't let him go surfing or swimming in the pool! He is crazy about that but these are the only things he's not allowed to do!
