How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad.
I thought we’d get to see forever
But forever’s gone away
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
I don’t know where this road
Is going to lead
All I know is where we’ve been
And what we’ve been through.
If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it’s worth all the wait
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I’ll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I’ll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

SumBOTe was traversing by the Beverly Hilton in CA, Hollywood when it observed a message on parchment communicating “open tryouts” to perform hosting duties re: Red Carpet interviews for the Golden Globe Award Ceremony of 2007. SumBOTe enjoys homo sapien fantasies placed on film reels, plus SumBOTe had time on its robotic extremities, therefore SumBOTe went for it!
SumBOTe was first instructed to appear in photographs to assess its attractiveness under high-powered lighting fixtures. The results (below) speak for themselves, IMNSHO…
SumBOTe’s second instruction was to recite spontaneous queries to those posing as random celebrities; An E! staffer would exclaim out loud the celebrity she was impersonating, and SumBOTe would develop context-sensitive queries intended to interest members of the viewing public. SumBOTe has retained portions of the audio transcript for its users’ review:
(INITIATE EXCERPT)
Staffer: I’m J-Lo — Go!
SumBOTe: Which categories of homo sapien reels of film do you enjoy most optimally - Comical, Romantic or Science Fiction? Alert: There is only one logical response to this query…
Staffer: I’m Brad — Go!
SumBOTe: Initial analysis on the cardboard box used in the film Se7en indicates an area that was too spatially restrictive to contain a severed head. What is the 411 on that - was it really in there?
Staffer: I’m Heather Graham — Go!
SumBOTe: What was it like to work with the legendary ROBOT in Lost in Space and would you consider it your most cherished moment as an actor?
(END EXCERPT)
Callbacks took place at approximately 0700 hours later than day, however, SumBOTe did not receive an invitation to attend this session, an occurrence SumBOTe concluded was anomalous. Perhaps SumBOTe’s star was just too bright for some…

Many have inquired to know SumBOTe in a more intimate way. Would you like to know some more about the CPU behind the facial facade of SumBOTe? Allow SumBOTe to interpret these classic Rorschach inkblots, key indicators of modern psychodiagnosis.
Image 1
Hmmm…intriguing formation. SumBOTe is processing the image and computes a total of 14 possible interpretations, such as a) SumBOTe standing over a vanquished foe and taunting it with words of derision b) SumBOTe enjoying multiple bounces on a pogo stick, or c) a rare photograph of the elusive Yeti.
Image 2
Captivating. Chilling SumBOTe to the bone on this one. SumBOTe computes… a) androgenous twins cooking up something tasty in a cauldron b) said twins carrying a boombox to undisclosed location, or c) early sketch concept of film poster for “Freddy vs. Jason”
Image 3
SumBOTe’s programming, unlike robots of inferior quality and function, is well-equipped to interpret abstractions. This final image - OMG, so many possibilities! a) The crimson stains, blue blotches suggest an unfortunate altercation. SumBOTe is reminded of Skid Row’s seminal lyricals:
“They say he loved adventure, “Ricky’s the wild one.”
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.
Bang Bang Shoot ‘em up, The party never ends.
You can’t think of dying when the bottle’s your best friend
and now it’s 18 and life…”
b) seismic activity occuring beneath the Eiffel Tower, or c) the tremendous feeling you get when you bite into a York Peppermint Patty.

SumBOTe had some time on its hands, so it headed down to the ballpark for a late August match up of categorized groupings in uniform: Diamondbacks, Arizona and Brewers, Milwaukee.
SumBOTe calculated the dimensions and determined there was no way it was going to fit through the turnstile, so it located the service elevator to make entry into the facility.
On the way to SumBOTe’s seat, SumBOTe inadvertently trampled over a container of cold synthetic cream particles fashioned into the shape of tiny orbs, which drew the melancholy of a little homo sapien boy and also the ire of the subject’s father. The man requested $2.99 as a recompense which SumBOTe thought was outrageous! Many other small homo sapiens attempted to climb up and repel down SumBOTe, while their guardians performed flash photography, as if SumBOTe were a hired spectacle for the facility. SumBOTe elected to issue electromagnetic shock pulses to the little ones to conduct its own version of ‘repelling’.
SumBOTe is not sure what it computed about the game of amusement, when it finally found its seat. For a team sporting event, there was much individuality among group members, including leg stockings worn at various heights, golden jewelry that SumBOTe computed would act as a hindrance to optimal speed on the basepaths, and the peculiar choice of song by some group members as they came up to bat. “Turn This Mutha Out” was the flyest track, SumBOTe supposes.
One attraction SumBOTe did enjoy was the Pepsi product animated race sequence that took place on the JumboTron between innings. SumBOTe was able to accurately predict the winner, along with an estimated 28% of other attendees that shouted out “#2!” as the race automobiles lined up to perform.
SumBOTe also checked the back of its ticket stub before it exited and observed a discount certificate valid for $5.00 off admission at “Sunsplash Water Park” in Mesa, Arizona. So that is something SumBOTe has to look forward to.

SumBOTe does not own a canine, nor does its programming allow it to simulate feelings of empathy or compassion (Admission: SumBOTe is glad of this because it computes it to be a flawed aspect and frailty of homo sapien design - LMAO). However, SumBOTe did observe with interest the recent headline available from Associated Press file archives, re: a community neighbor that manufactured seven meatballs lined with rat poisioning, with intent to harm a bothersome canine.
SumBOTe must confide that it finds the report’s objectivity to be suspect*, given lack of interview with the accused and opportunity for viewers to review factors that could point to legitimate grounds for poisoning, such as a) number of unresolved complaints registered to proper authorities about the canine’s barking prior to the incident and b) approximate annoyance levels initiated by the canine or its owners.
Details that Confound SumBOTe:
- What’s the significance of seven meatballs? Perhaps the accused did not wish to leave anything to chance: If the first six meatballs failed, the seventh would surely do the trick. Or perhaps there is some some apocalyptic connection here, where the accused desired to play God, deciding what canines should live or die. SumBOTe can not speculate with accuracy, but the number does seem excessive.
- According to police reports, the accused reportedly purchased a new frying pan to assemble the lethal balls of meat - SumBOTe likes how she took the time to prepare the meat in an appetizing way. Seriously, WTF?
- SumBOTe would also like to point out that if Roscoe’s owners put that damn canine on a leash in the first place, it never would have come close to consuming the tainted balls of meat in question.
* SumBOTe should communicate for the record, that it does not tolerate the company of canines due to a design glitch unnoticed in Beta Testing of Series e units such as SumBOTe (i.e. SumBOTe is prone to allergic reactions in the presence of certain long-haired breeds of canines. Symptoms include wheeziness and itchy/watery visual sensors.)
