(S27) PT4 - Superstar

[shrub02]

Written from the perspective of Bender Rodriguez:

So the I was hanging out at my favorite bar, a typical Monday morning, when some stranger walks up and taps me on my should. "Have I seen you on TV before?" He asks. "Once, when I took those hostages," I reply as I turn to finish enjoying my drink without the interruption of a random meat bag. "Well you've got that kind of face that just screams television star," the stranger persists, "I would like to offer you a role on my show." "Shut up, baby, I know it! But I don't have the time to be on some two-bit show," I retort. "No, no. You would star on All My Circuits with Calculon."  My jaw drops, hitting the edge of the bar. "I love Calculon! Yes, I will take your money!" "We're not offering you any money," he replies. "Shut up, I'm still gonna still take it!"

And that's how Bender became a regular on TV's biggest soap opera, All My Circuits. At first they tried to get him to follow the script, but Bender wasn't having any of that. He knew that the audience would love his swarthy Latin charm, so he improvised every line. He even threw in cursing, drinking booze, and smoking cigars (has favorite brand Hacking Jacks, of course). Bender always wanted to be an inspiration to children everywhere and now he can realize that dream. He gets a warm buzzy feeling in his hardware whenever he see's kids screaming "bite my glorious golden ass" as they are disobeying their parents.
