“Yes, this is Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. It’s about five o’clock in the morning. That’s the Homicide Squad – complete with detectives and newspapermen. A murder has been reported from one of those great big houses in the ten thousand block. You’ll read about it in the late editions, I’m sure. You’ll get it over your radio and see it on television because an old-time star is involved – one of the biggest. But before you hear it all distorted and blown out of proportion, before those Hollywood columnists get their hands on it, maybe you’d like to hear the facts, the whole truth. If so, you’ve come to the right party. You see, the body of a young man was found floating in the pool of her mansion – with two shots in his back and one in his stomach. Nobody important, really. Just a movie writer with a couple of ‘B’ pictures to his credit. The poor dope! He always wanted a pool. Well, in the end, he got himself a pool – only the price turned out to be a little high. Let’s go back about six months and find the day when it all started.”
I used to park mine right under an AC vent, which was right under the evaporator coils. One day years ago the drain line clogged and it overflowed right onto my roomba.
Cost $100 for a new circuit board and it’s been fine ever since. But the motors didn’t get wet.
That’s interesting. My Roomba gets stuck on my floor mats and keeps saying that it’s close to an edge and yours seems to have ignored the edge of the swimming pool.
My condolences.
‘my only purpose is to clean’
That looks expensive
That looks expensive
Did it clean the pool?
It looks like a suicide but I suspect it might be murder.

Mine keeps throwing itself down the stairs
Next thing you know it is going to take up painting.
ALERT!
“Ugh, why did I set my smartphone to get these messages?”
VACUUM IS STRANDED ON A CLIFF!
“No, you aren’t! You’re just on a step! Stop being so dramatic!”
ALERT! VACUUM IS WEDGED IN A CREVICE!
“Jesus Christ, you’re *very slightly* stuck beneath a cabinet.”
ALERT! VACUUM HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ICY DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN!
“Oh, what, did someone spill some water on you?”
VACUUM’S LIFE IS FLASHING BEFORE ITS EYES!
“I swear, if you… huh. You fell in the pool. That’s… different.”
VACUUM WILL DO A HANDSTAND NOW.

Hello, Darkness, my old friend
100% robocide
Wait…you **didn’t** want your pool vacuumed?
Ring camera: THERE’S SOMEONE IN THE BACKYARD
Did the pool vac call in and it think it needed to cover the pool vacs shift?
Bad bot
i-Life? Looks like my vacuum.

Quick! Put it in a bag of rice!!
**Roomba:** I cannot self-terminate.
**Pool:** ⛓️⬇️🌊
**Roomba:** 👍
I swear they’re like dogs. Every time I turn my back it chews my wires
Zima Blue
be ungovernable
Poor guy, all he wanted to do was clean all the water up for you
Ohhh, you know he dead
You know they make a different model for your pool, right?
Started as a Roomba. Now it’s a Scooba.
It’s trying to elope with your pool-vac. Ah, true love…
*What is purpose?*
You vacuum the floor…
*Oh my god!*
Yeah yeah join the club
**drives itself into pool**
Maybe his trouble-making, devil-may-care best friend made him take your car out for a spin and now he’s recontextualizing his purpose.
Expect a strongly worded confrontation when he gets out of there.
First documented case of vaccum cleaner commiting suicide.
Roomba is now a scuba.
And thus, Zima Blue was born.
That’s interesting. My Roomba gets stuck on my floor mats and keeps saying that it’s close to an edge and yours seems to have ignored the edge of the swimming pool.
ZIMA BLUE vibes
Nirvana vibes
There has to be a wet/dry vacuum joke here that 2AM is making me miss. Something other than “scuba“.
I’ll check back to see what you all have done.
Loving the new Gatsby remaster!
How fast was it travelling to get that far into the pool?
For some reason I’m hearing portal turret voices
Sure it wasn’t trying to mate with the robot pool cleaner?
