The Rumbler

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

The Rumbler can never be revealed, but his personality can be.

[Model I]

Given a blood sample, a strand of hair, a floppy disk and a signature, a computer Televac was able to produce the personality analysis of The Rumbler.

Listed below is the binary code taken from his double helix and transferred to human terminolodgy. In ALL CAPS you will find the computers dictation afterwhich the Rumbler's second assistant has secretated and typed stories or ideas as they relate to the computer's assumptions. When you comment immediately after reading this post, be sure to give gratitude to the Rumbler's return as it has been too long since we have heard the horn blow, too long since his words have rung into the hearts of man and too long since the unsaid has gone unspoken.

"RUMBLER PERSONALITY ANALYSIS"

ksshshs >> kkkkkkkk >> bong - bong (modem sounds)

  • YOU LIKE HAVING THE LAST WORD AND THE LAST LAUGH
    • not true
  • YOU ARE GENERALLY EASY TO GET ALONG WITH
    • yes, this is true
  • YOU CAN COPE WITH DIFFICULT JOBS<>
    • one time my dog, Tanzy, was hyperventilating because of the thunder, I did not have the proper training to cope with that.
  • YOU LIKE TO SET YOUR OWN PACE AND LIMITS IN LIFE
    • I figure if I knowingly eat my way towards heart disease then I won't be shocked when it kills me
  • IT IS YOUR NATURE TO FIGHT DEFEAT
    • HA! I kill defeat
  • YOU LIKE YOUR FRIENDSHIP TO BE APPRECIATED
    • I keep my friends close and my enemies closer
      • P.E. #1 - gingivitis
  • YOU'RE AN OPTIMIST WHO LIKES TO BE THE LEADER OF THE PACK
    • depends on the pack, a six pack - yes, the Wolf Pack (WCW reference) - yes,
  • YOU ARE USUALLY FAITHFUL AND CONSTANT
    • Like alpha centauris B
  • YOU ARE RELIABLE, HONEST AND OTHERS DEPEND ON YOU
    • FIBS don't win friends; my word is my bond
  • YOU HAVE A REAL DESIRE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND LEARN EASILY
    • I speak java
  • YOU DEVOTE YOUR ENERGIES TO WORTHWHILE ACTIVITIES
    • True, activities would include:
      • Sci-fi book clubs
      • Chess
      • Internet dating (strictly gChat, and she knows who she is)
      • plastic bottle collecting
      • vacuuming
  • YOU CAN HANDLE ANY EMERGENCY AND NEVER ADMIT DEFEAT
    • One time I was on a trip with Spencer and Allison Davis (the parents of Owen Judd, my godson) and we ran over a tire on the Oakland bridge and were high-centered in the left lane during rush hour. I instantly knew we were going to die or receive whiplash, and it was in that moment that I remembered hearing that drunk drivers always survive crashes because they are incoherent and their body in limp and non-responsive. So I decided that in order to survive I must go completely limp, it worked and the emergency was well-handled and I never had to admit defeat.

There you have it, now you all know the Rumbler's true personality. Welcome back to the Rumbler's blog.

This may come as a shock to all of you Rumbler fans, but several items of the computers analysis were omitted from the online reporting. Due to second-rate secretating, no doubt.

YOU ARE SOMETIMES SHORT TEMPERED WHEN SLEEPY
-true, once when the Rumbler was little he got fed up with his fastidious little brother (who had playfully hit him with a pillow from the top bunk) so he (Mr. Rumble) tugged hard on his brother's blankets until said brother was pulled off of the top bunk, landing on, and breaking, the fishbowl.

YOU FIND IT HARD TO SHOW AFFECTION FOR THOSE CLOSE TO YOU
-false. Mr. Rumble recently sent the aforementioned brother a pair of new Reebok Classics for no reason other than to show affection. I am sure that this one was omitted by reason of humility.

TO SAY YOU HAVE A SWEET TOOTH WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT
-Alas, true. As some readers may or may not know, Mr. Rumble once purchased a box of over 96 packets of PEZ candy. He likes Belly Flops and not cake.

Mr. Rumble- are we to understand that you willingly gave a sample of your DNA to a Cylon? Do you not realize that in the future, when Cylon techmology advances, they will use your DNA sample and personality analysis to create a clone Cylon? You are most likely one of the 12.

I hope you never have to fight Starbuck.

I'm glad your back. Even if you are a fraken Toaster.

I actually think that Judd may have been converted to a Cylon much earlier, Darth Spencer.

Before we even knew that the Cylons were replicating at such a verocious rate, the Rumbler went in for "inner ear surgery." The doctors "claimed" to be reconstructing the ear drum, which had conveniently been dissolved by repeated, Cylon-induced ear aches. What followed was not only the implant-ment of cylon monitoring technology, but a complete reprogramming of his cerebral cortex and, more specifically his frontal lobe. You will note that Judd lost his ability to sing notes remotely on key. Have you ever heard a Cylon sing?

diomedes-
your words speak truth. i am worried for my life and for those around Mr. Rumble. Here is another thought...Mr. Rumble is very helpful. I know this from my own personal experience and I have heard this from those whom he has worked with. This is no doubt imperical proof that he is a Cylon and that he is here to serve us humans. Lets pray that he does not become self aware.

Dear Humans: The Cylons are a cybernetic civilization at war with the Twelve Colonies of humanity.

The Cylons were created by humans as robotic workers and soldiers. The Cylons destroy almost the entire human civilization, chasing a few survivors into deep space.

There are twelve Cylon models (the 12th model thought to be The Rumbler) who are nearly indistinguishable from human beings (like the Rumbler they are advanced in every possible way -- intelligence, strength, looks, and physique).

Much of the Cylons' technology is based heavily on bioengineering and/or synthetic biology rather than conventional robotics. Humans often derisively refer to Cylons as "toasters".

Hopefully that information may assist the human-muggles in understanding the meaning of a Cylon.
