Ladies and Gentlemen of Earth. I am Klaatu. You are stupid earthings. Stupid stupid stupid. Behold I give you my creation, Gort!

 

[Versatronic]

Gort

You clean or your act or Gort will destroy you!!!!!!!

 

[Versatronic]

Gort's abilities

Laser beams shoot from his head to destroy all in his path. Cities can be destroyed. Armies can be destroyed!

Plus, his head can serve as a functional kitchen appliance. Guess the appliance, and I will spare your world and move on to the next one! One chance to save your world, stupid earthlings!

A type of roaster/rotisserie? A popcorn popper?

 

[petek]

Is this the part where I get up and go make popcorn? LOL

btw how old were you when the school nurse wrote that you were "disturbed" hahaha

 

[Versatronic]

Damn

How many second did that take? I thought this was going to be much harder!

 

[Versatronic]

Love the atomic styling

I found this last weekend. It's a Toastmaster Popcorn Maker. This thing is about as atomic looking as you can get. In my years of flea marketing, I've never seen this thing before. This was at a thrift store. I haven't fully cleaned it up and tried it out yet, but it looks awesome on my counter!

Well I wasn't exactly sure but the crystal power dome cover over the space age aluminum base with the sleek and lightweight polymer stand sort of clued me in.. LOL

but you get an A+ for presentation.

 

[Versatronic]

Goodbye people of Earth.

We will spare you and move on to Altair 6. Gort, back in the spaceship! Goodbye Earthlings.

And thus the world was saved by the folks at automaticwasher.org. Previously scorned by the oxen yoke crowd and the general population at large, they because instant heroes for saving the earth from mass destruction.

And what '70's rock band (briefly rumored to be The Beatles, incognito) named their band after a phrase from this film?

 

[Versatronic]

My turn to guess?

Klaatu, perhaps?

 

[frigilux]

Correct, human!

And didn't The Carpenters do a cover of their 'Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft'? Boy, my memory circuits are frying over that one....

 

[Versatronic]

Indeed they did.

And then on the tribute album to the Carpenters, aptly named If I Were A Carpenter, who coverd The Caprpenters covering Klaatu?

 

[frigilux]

Oh, you're KILLING me, Mike! It was a band from Minneapolis, as I recall. Was it Babes In Toyland? I seem to recall seeing them open for someone at First Ave. and they actually did that song. God, what a noise-fest The Babes were. I'm trying to recall if Courtney Love was still in the band when I saw them. I don't think she was.

Alright, I have to go rest my brain cells.

 

[Versatronic]

Correct Hu-Man

Although, to my knowledge, Courtney Love was never in that band.

 

[frigilux]

Mizz Love was living in Minneapolis for awhile and I think she was in The Babes in their early days. I could be wrong, it might have been another band. I was usually drunk and very high back in those days, so my memory isn't always spot-on, LOL!

I adore Courtney Love....
