his block is knocked off?!

Isn't it great when things you encounter in real life (or fictional life) remind you of things in your writing?  I DO, I DO.  I always think my thing is more real, even when it's clearly not in any objective way - although I guess it's more real for me. 


I seriously thought this was a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots movie (and I was like, can we please have an Etch-a-Sketch movie next??) but apparently it's based on a short story by Richard Matheson.  I was just greatly amused that the robot's name was Adam, of all things:  He's a sparring bot.  Built to take a lotta hits but never dishing out any real punishment.  Which kind of describes my protagonist, named Adam. 

Oh God, and then I found this commercial for the Rock 'Em Sock 'Ems... and couldn't not share.
