Actually, Grobstein didn't do anything. A caller to his show took Parkins to task for making fun of him about his comments regarding robot umpires. Apparently, Les thought there would be an actual robot behind home plate as opposed to an automated strike zone.

Would it be the worst thing in the world if there were?

I was thinking more a HAL 9000 situation.

A HAL 9000 situation would be perfect.

The discussion on bringing beers into washrooms, men vs women washrooms, and Parkins going barefoot into an airplane bathroom was great. And I completely agree that Parkins should not wear flip flops on a plane! That's an abomination!

I rock the sportcoat and flip flop combo. And I request the person in front of me to recline into my personal space.
