My girlfriend in 1976 at VCon in Vancouver, BC Canada kissing my contest entry a fully functional Mechanno (Erector set in the US of A) robot:

December 20th is her birthday. Many happy returns, Barb!

Butch, you're such a kidder! The site at this link (and four others I found) identifies that photo as the Meccano promotional robot at the 1965 Christmas Toy Fair, London.

The site included the picture of "your" robot and your alleged girlfriend, along with four other pictures, including his one.

I know.

I couldn't resist as the girl in the picture looks virtually identical to Barb, and her behavior is such that it's almost from a parallel universe.

But (as you know) I'm going through a personal trial and I needed a break.

Confession is good for the soul.

However, doing things like this takes advantage of our trust, and it erodes your credibility, Butch. Please don't do it again.
