The Beast With A Billion Backs picks up where Bender’s Big Score left off. Well, if you don’t know what it is about, then you either:

  • saw “Sex and The City” movie and TV series

To mitigate this, go watch the DVD again, or if you don’t have it, buy one now meatbag!

Dear Admirer,

Thank you for taking the time to write to me, Bender.  Although I deleted your email without looking at it, I’m sure it was very boring.  Write again soon!

Your robot pal,

Bender

P.S. – If you buy less than eight copies my DVD, you’re a cheapskate.
