Meh. Already knew that.
Lets get it on. . .

by "Lets" i ment "Let's."
Damn ACT. . . . sucked my brain dry.
woah, you can use it on metal too?!
Studies have proved that WD-40 relieves arthritic pain and stiffness.
Hmm... a relief of stiffness you say...
Bender says "giggety giggety!"
Those robot lovebirds will, of course, be sorry; WD-40 is a very poor lubricant. It displaces water, it stops gate hinges from squeaking, et cetera et cetera, but it's mainly kerosene and contains very little actual oil.
@Daniel Rutter: There's the Dan I know and love, beating me to that comment.
LOL! now thats funny
@Daniel Rutter: There are a lot of novice mechanics who learn that the hard way. When I was about 10, I thought WD-40 would be good for lubricating the hubs on my bicycle. After a few miles of riding ruined the bearings, I decided grease might be a better idea. This was about the same time I believed that steel wool was the best way to clean chrome.
i like the painting in the background of the robot cringing at what he is about to see.
Ooops... I am learning a lot of things right here which I feel I should've learned a long time ago.
Time to go grease the hubs of my bike. At least my awkwardness is less than what those robots will feel.
got some rusted nuts, huh? Probably should use some penetrating oil. just stick that there straw in that hole, and give it a couple good squirts.
You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
How can you tell a female robot from a male one when they both have nuts??
I think those robots too should use some penetrating oil. May I recommend PBlaster?
All he wanted was meaningless robot sex because he had no heart, but alas it was not to be. He was tin, she was aluminum.
But are those pictures of people on the dresser on the right? What kind of kinky place is this? And where are their Nazi costumes?
@Armand, Star-Spangled Pedant: I did that too as a kid. I thought it made me go faster.
Then my dad informed me about white lightning.
PS, are those door-stopper thingies on their heads?
@Dr.Danger's got nards: Looks like it, and they appear to be affixed to tins of Spam.
As a penetrating oil, I would recommend Marvel Mystery Oil which might bring a new dimension into their relationship...
@Armand, Star-Spangled Pedant: I'm guilty of both.Thanks for the memories.....
@Blokey: The female dumps her oil every month.
@Dr.Danger's got nards: It's for pleasuring your mate, you connect with each other then you flick your door stop thingies and enjoy the vibes!
Oh , and that noise... "PARL-RL-RL-RL-RL-RL-RL-RL"
@POLAЯE, OH OH, CANTAЯE OH OH OH OH:
*NSFR, (not safe for robots)

@Dr.Danger's got nards: you can really find ANYTHING on youtube
@Dr.Danger's got nards: Thank you sir, that completely brightened up my day.
Second the recommendation for PBlaster. I go through about a can of that a month. Versus about a can per year of WD-40, which I use usually just for cleaning.
The robots should use Tri-Flow® Red Grease. It" is a premium quality, extreme pressure, multi-purpose aluminum complex grease. It features outstanding performance in high temperature applications and is waterproof. It provides an excellent seal on bearings, has a high-load carrying capacity and resists oxidation and is corrosion resistant. " With rusty nuts, the load carry capabilities may come in handy.
Don't try it... It burns like hell! Don't ask me how I know this.
Maybe he should use a can opener.

I was already hammered when I saw you at the Crow Bar.
I said my name is Jack and asked if you'd like a screwdriver.
You said you weren't loose and you bolted ...
but I still wanted to nail you.
The vice squad was outside and asked if you were a hoe.
You said I'd tried to jump you and wanted them to arrest me for battery.
I asked "wire you doing this?" and told them you were nuts.
You said you wouldn't file charges.
They said they'd give us a lift as long as we were on the level.
On the way you complimented my chiseled jaw.
I swore I'd never punch you.
You said that's awl you ever wanted.
I said if you don't screw me I'll always be true.
I thought you'd make a fine Mrs. Sanders ...
then you asked if I'd met Ric.

Crap. Sorry about the double post.
@texajeff: If she's a virgin he might need cutting fluid.
@philibuster:
Now that I have blown a very good wine all over my key board and then cleaned it off...
QOTD!!!!
Those are awesome robots. I love the door stoppers for antenna.
@Solo_Racer: can opener
@Dr.Danger's got nards:
White Lightning?
As in, mighty mighty pleasin', pappy's corn squeezin white lightning?

Or Burt Reynolds vs the Sherrif?

Or this?

Note: WL is great as long as you ride only in the dry. On a commuter bike or anything where you'll be in the water much you want something that won't wash off so easy. Oh, and don't forget to shake it up.
Personally, my favorite use for WD-40 was to use it as a portable flamethrower. Wasp/bees nests/hives never knew what hit them until it was too late.
@cargogh:
Seconded on the Tri-Flow recommendation. I used to use that stuff on my bike before I was old enough to light smashed dinosaurs on fire and let them do the work for me. It'd last through multiple hose-blasting cleanings and let the mechanisms freewheel pretty much until you got bored waiting for them to stop on their own.
i've actually seen this ad in the US. But i dont' remember how long ago. lol
Never spray this on your junk! Use the straw, squirt it in the hole
on my view of this web page the gawker art banner with that scrawny red headed guy with no shirt and a hairy body loads up, how very fitting.
Love the hardware store robots!
Door stopper antenna, Spam can for the head, speedway arms and legs, toggle expanders for hands, tomato can bodies, my best guess is 1.5" diameter sink tail pieces for necks.
Spray the whole thing in silver shaker can paint et voila.
