It reminds me of a twisted version of the stupid robot from the 70's "Battlestar Galactica" tv show. I know, obscure, but at least it's timely with SciFi releasing a new version of the show...
It also kinda looks like the Anti-Oscar. Now there's an award Michael Moore-on actually deserves. And what's with the damn shoulder pads? Who's his tailor, freakin' Tammy Faye Bakker?
You sure you don't mean the stupid robot in "Buck Rogers"? Although, you're right that it kind of looks like the "by your command" android in "Battlestar Galactica".
Refusing to be taken alive, Michael Jackson adorned one of his favorite outfits and prepared to go on the offensive against the scores of lawmen congregating around the Neverland ranch...
ok, Twiki was the robot from Buck Rogers. he was short, though, so he couldn't possibly have a rod that long.
the Cylons were from Battlestar Galactica, but they were silver (I think there was ONE gold one, to denote command status on "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero", but my memory's kinda fuzzy on that). now, you could be talking about Lucifer, who was 2nd in command to Baltar, but he had lights in his head, so this statue doesn't look anything like him.
now that I think about it, there was one Buck Rogers episode where Twiki had a "girlfriend" who, instead of saying "biddi biddi biddi", she'd say "booty booty booty". and i must kill myself now.
Wait a sec... his name was Twiki? I always is thought it was Twiggy, a reincarnation of the '60s model, the original waif. Didn't she say biddi, biddi, too?. She seemed to have gained some weight during her cameo on the "Blues Brothers", but maybe she had her head cryogenically saved so that her brain could be used for a robot in the 23rd century.
I am humbled by your superior knowledge. I must admit that during the ninth and tenth grades, when Buck Rogers and Battlestar Galactica came out, I was more interested in girls and "Columbian Gold", which was dispensed at the rate of a dollar a joint by my connection Dave.
Not that I'm making excuses or anything...
BTW: Thanks for firmly implanting the image of that smug actor who played Buck Rogers in my head. The girl was kinda cute, though...

Here's the joke:
A man walks into a toilet and starts to use the urinal. As he stands
there, he happens to notice that the black man next to him has something
tattooed onto his penis.
'Hey - I've got WENDY tattoed on my penis too.', says the man.
The black man turns to look at him and says, 'Naw, man mine says
WELCOME TO JAMAICA. HAVE A NICE DAY'!

Apologies to all decent people, but that joke brought back long forgotten adolescent memories...
MST3K made waking up hungover on Saturday morning a pleasureable thing to do. Now I get depressed just thinking about it. Those herpes-infected little ****s at Sci-Fi channel canceled the show a couple of years ago, and have been rerunning the same six episodes over and over since then. These same geniuses also removed "Farscape", reasoning that instead of watching Claudia Black or Gigi Edgely, that we would be much more satisfied with "Tremors, the Series".
I hope, if there is such thing as Hell, that sitting in a bare room watching those same six episodes for the rest of Time will be the fate of whoever it was who had the responsibility for this.

Twiki the robot was just a walking stand for a all-knowing, disk-shaped talking computer named "Doc", wasn't he?
