What is the best khukuri to defend agaist marmots?

This reminds me of the killer lemmings named Stobor in that old Heinlein book. Two points if you remember the title.
 
Tunnel in the Sky

Where do I collect the points and what can I spend them on?
 
Marmots attacking a town?

Throw in some old books, forbidden knowledge, and a cult or two, change the location to New England and you have the makings of a pretty good story there.

(I've been reading a lot of Lovecraft lately. Sorry.)

Someone beat me to it, but did you know that "Stobor" is "Robots" spelled backwards?

There was a serial called "I Tobor" when I was a kid. One of the bad robots that waddled sideways with arms outstretched as he went after people.


Lovecraft is one of my favorite horror authors. "At the Mountains of Madness" and "The Dark Brotherhood." His concrpts that we live next door to a universe of malignant beings who will destroy all human life if they can regain a foothold here. That they wrok to influence unborn children to open a gate on our side at a nodal point where our dimension touches theirs. Brrrr!

How about Stanislaw Lem?

And, hey, my favorite weird author Philip K. Dick. alias "Horselover Fat?"

And "The Yellow Stream" would sorta fit this post that n2s put up but there is no way that fellow in the tin can suit is gonna be able to say, I.P. Freely, without going through pure hell getting out of it first.
And I'll bet that gal wasn't too bad looking for the time line this movie was filmed in.;) :D :o
 
I knew that stobor was robots spelled backwards since I had seen the classic movie "Tobor the Great".

You two are starting to worry me. The guy working on the robot with the roster crested helm is a guy. Please, let me know if I should post some pictures of hot babes for comparison. :confused: :o :D

"I Tobor" didn't have a chance in life.

He was meant to be "Robot 1" of a series of advanced mechanized helpers for humanity, but the stencil guy put his name on backwards. It was a traumatic event, warping his psyche for his entire existence. (Kind of a boy named "Sue" taken to an extreme.)

Sure, sure...Robbie the Robot got all the good press: "Danger, Will Robinson, Danger, Danger!" But Robbie, the gullible, kept on trusting Professor Smith.

But ole Tobor gave his rivets so that the likes of Robbie, and that little squeaker, R2-D2, could exist.

And now, you young people don't even know what he did for you.



sad, really.:(

That wasn't Robbie the robot. Robbie was the overachieving tin can from Forbidden Planet. Although he did make two guest appearances on Lost in Space, we should not confuse him with the Robot from that series.

here is Robbie's filography:

Oh where, oh where, has this thread wandered......:)

Here in Central PA, marmots are prized and revered for their meteorological prowess, especially with respect to late winter/early spring forecasting.

That's no marmot.

That's just a squirrel licking one of his nuts.
