Am I missing out on an exciting local Saturday outing?

"CRZ 6100 robot camel jockey. Won 5 world titles. $1495. Call: 800-850-8585"


This add is running in our local newspaper's classified ads. Who knew there were Camel Races around here? Have you checked your paper for world title robots?

    That's a new one. I wonder if they have a protocol droid for sale, too? LOL

    There are camel races in Qatar, and it seems one class uses robot riders. Perhaps you have someone from that country who is retiring from the robot camel racing business. Might be an interesting sideline for Hubband in his travels, and a mere $1450 seems like a good price.

    Cliaming the robot has won five races smacks of hubris to me, however, as reality suggests the camel actually did the winning. Same robot on a crappy camel might not do as well.

    So, do you suppose that there are many CRZ 6100's, some of which have ridden various camels to victory, or could it be this CRZ 6100 has "personally" had 5 different victories? Gosh - do you suppose it does interviews?

    While I'm at it, how would one go about determining whether one had a "crappy camel"?

    I would think the requirement for continuous shovelling would make it apparent that one had...

    Never mind.
