First, he inquired about his rights as leader of the Robot Skeleton Army:\r\n

I get droit du seigneur over my twitter followers right?<\/p>\r\nDespite a lack of historical evidence<\/a>, the right to which he refers has been mentioned frequently in literature and satire, including in Braveheart<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 Following up the first tweet, Craig offered a bit more Latin, spinning him from one theme into another:\r\n

Tried writing “primae noctis” but spellcheck kept changing it to “primate nocturnal” which made me think of vampire monkeys #<\/s>notabadidea<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\nOnce on the vampire monkey theme, lots of robot skeletons joined in with suggestions and Craig approved:\r\n\r\n[stextbox id=”custom”]Now as I think about it. Vampire Monkeys is an awesome idea. Like Twilight but with a tire swing and bananas. #<\/s>countchimpula<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153@<\/s>KdGodbomber<\/strong><\/a>: @<\/s>CraigyFerg<\/strong><\/a> Orangutangula and VanHelchimp.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Winner of best Vampire Monkey names. #<\/s>teamorangutangula<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\nalso very good vampire monkey moniker \u00e2\u20ac\u0153@<\/s>peterdebay<\/strong><\/a>: @<\/s>CraigyFerg<\/strong><\/a> Nosferat-ooo-ooo-ooo #<\/s>teamorangutangula<\/strong><\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\r\n\r\nMany great Vampire Monkey names pouring in. People clearly want this to happen. You listening Hollywood? #<\/s>teamorangutangula<\/strong><\/a> #<\/s>Nosferat<\/strong><\/a>-ooh\r\n\r\nTHE @<\/s>WilliamShatner<\/strong><\/a> & THE @<\/s>brekinmeyer<\/strong><\/a> make for quite the chortlefest tonight . #<\/s>monkeyvampires<\/strong><\/a> #<\/s>teamorangutangula<\/strong><\/a> #<\/s>Nosferat<\/strong><\/a>-ooh![\/stextbox]\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>Along the way, a creative use of photoshop caught Craig’s attention:\r\n

http:\/\/twitpic.com\/a188mh<\/a> Ach. Mein. Gott. They’re here. #<\/s>vampiremonkeys<\/strong><\/a> #<\/s>orangutangula<\/strong><\/a> #<\/s>nosferat<\/strong><\/a>-ooh-ooh.<\/p>\r\n\"\"<\/a>And the RSA’s @HoboRobot<\/strong> joined in with an idea:\r\n

No, NOT a flying monkey! pic.twitter.com\/oLlTMzD9<\/a><\/p>\r\nWe can only imagine that the vampire monkey theme will continue on the show and on the tweety box.\r\n\r\nPower Problems<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>Bringing back memories of a similar problem a few years ago, the lights went out in the studio during the taping of Wednesday night’s show, prompting Craig to tweet:\r\n

Massive electrical failure at the studio. Did the show with almost no lighting at all. Kind of an improvement. #<\/s>arty<\/strong><\/a> #<\/s>atleasttherobotworked<\/strong><\/a> \/\/ I was told the electrical failure at the show was the result of a blown transformer. Do your own Optimus Prime joke.<\/p>\r\nAmong the media covering the power outage were the New York Times<\/a>, the Washington Post<\/a> and TheInsider.com<\/a>.
