Diane Keaton wanted his orb and she got it.

Did they show Trump the Orgasmatron?

All signs point to No.

I've seen dozens of posts on various platforms about this Orb, but I haven't read any reporting about what this thing was and the event where it occurred. Can anyone help me out?

"Did they show Trump the Orgasmatron?"

I had forgotten that the Orb was a separate thing, in addition to the Orgasmatron. But it was not repetitious. The Orb was a group activity that got rather drawn out, more like sharing marijuana. The Orgasmatron was a device to be used by one person, to have an orgasm instantly and get it over with.

The first post has a link to an article that explains it.

Some institution being set up for some good purpose.

heh, heh - Woody was very funny in the 70s, pre- ugly break-up with Mia Farrow.

You could do a supplement. Young Bernie Sanders as "Fielding Mellish" in Bananas

"One Orb to Rule Them All" is funny bc it's so obviously the wrong Lord of the Rings reference. That thing is obviously a palantir - per wiki, a crystal ball, used for both communication and as a means of seeing events in other parts of the world or in the distant past.

Probably a gift from Peter Thiel, Chairman of Palantir Technologies, a Big Data analysis tool used by the intelligence community and Dept of Defense.

Oh, really?

Althouse was evidently thinking of the Masturbato Rex, a futuristic device edited out of the theatrical release.

Laslo may feel he divined Trump during the election, but Woody Allen divined us all back in the 70's.

What a time to be alive

LOL Qaestor. I didn't remember the orb right and I didn't remember the Orgasmatron right.

And you forgot the u.

Perhaps you need a suppliment.

Cognitex with Brain Shield... that's funnier than Orgasmatron.

gspencer చెప్పారు...

Not too spooky, huh. Three grown men, two of them Muzzies, with both hands on an orb.

robother చెప్పారు...

Heh. Woody Allen's dancing to the weird music at the end of this excerpt is clearly an homage to Chaplin, closing the loop with The Great Dictator.

gspencer చెప్పారు...

Do you think the King had a PURELL™ Hand Sanitizer nearby?

I thought the Orgasmatron first appeared in 1964 in Barbarella: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owueFHTFN8Y

MisterBuddwing చెప్పారు...

"Barbarella": It was called The Excessive Machine, and in case you'd rather hear it in English:

I was thinking about Rover from The Prisoner when I saw all this Orb stuff:

Woody gets a little non-consensual at the orb-party.
