Street Junk Sculpture by Frostbeard

So, i was in the Boston area waiting for a friend of mine to get to his apartment and decided that the time to complete this task was imminent. I had been thinking about completing this task, along with The Things We Bury For Our Friends. I walked around Brighton looking for the perfect components for my sculpture. Unfortunately, winter streets in this area were not to kind to one searching for interesting junk. In the end i was forced to settle with sub-optimal materials.
Still, i was not to be deterred.
Upon the arrival of my friend, i immediately began dissecting the parts i had. After chopping up the keyboard, i "wired up" my future trash robot by inserting the cord into the lower back of the cone. Then i took my sf0 keys and attached them to the base of the robot. After screwing in the nose, i cut a glove in half and stuck the bottom (fingers end) of the glove to the spacebar to make the robot's weirdo mouth. The top of the glove got placed over the top of the cone, got held in place by the livestrong bracelet, and had the keyboard "I" key glued on for the eye. The damned antenna was a problem though.
Splitting what i thought was wood, i instantly spilled small shards of fiberglass all over my friend's carpet, the robot, and my hands. I managed to (with my friend's help) shake out the rug. I then cleaned off the robot, threw out the antenna, and started burning and itching like crazy. The feeling of porcupines engulfed in flames fornicating just below my skin would stay with me throughout the next task. My friend and i then set out to bury the robot.

So, by finagling a bunch of weird tactics, i have managed to update this post to a somewhat better state. Sorry about that. Hopefully our good friends will fix my issue sooner rather than later so that i can task more effectively. If not, then...well...not. :)

If you do he sits there real good and the damn buttons!!!
Have been unable to get the description of this task to work. So, i guess this is what you get. I was in boston and waiting around for a friend to get back to his apartment. I collected all this junk and pulled it apart and pieced it together to make a trash robot. The antenna ended up being discarded due to the fiberglass nature of the inside of it, but not before i split it in half and proceeded to itch and burn for the rest of the night. This robot was then used in the The Things We Bury For Our Friends task. Will post that task and attempt to fix this task once i can figure out this whole posting problem.
