... but SL.. Really is... A .... GAME!!!!!

game - 1 (n.) An activity providing entertainment or amusement; a pastime.

There you have it, half of the elitist community has just been owned by Webster.. and I don't mean the cute lil black orphan from TV either.

These are very sad times to be an American but where is the rage among the citizenry?

Why because we are gluttonous lazy bastards who say it won't happen to me so who cares. --Ishtar Pasteur

Watching TV is a cool game. Walking around the block is a cool one too. Browsing the SL Forums is an OK game, but no one ever seems to win.

game - (also see)(n.) animals under pursuit or taken in hunting; especially : wild animals hunted for sport or food.

I agree. Second Life can get kind of gamey at times.

Sowwy. But otherwise I'd prolly call you Urusula again, accuse you of stealing my chocolate bar and then attribute some quote of Ulrika's to you and have a pop at you for it.

Pray that your toaster doesn't jam, or it'll quickly convert your pop tart into a three foot column of flame. The energy density in those things is insane. We could move North America away from its reliance on petroleum if we could just build a car that ran off these things. :D

It's true! Pop Tarts are great for fire accelerant! Why, this one time, I burned down an entire CITY by setting fire to a grocer's supply of the things!

I love Pop Tarts. They taste good, and make mayhem easy!

It's true. Pop Tarts really are dangerous. Well, or fun. Depending on your point of view, I guess.
