A strange thing happened to me the other day, i was at work and one of my friends there says "Did you get those papers in yet?". I turn around in my chair and without thinking I say "BuhBuhCuh". He gives me the stranges looking face, then slowly walks away. I have never met BBC, thats why its so strange. Then later on in the week, i'm at a party and theres all kinds of lights flashin and people dancin, loud music, ya know, party stuff. So I walk over to my friend and say, "Wow, you should do this again and host an event here!" then she says "HUH!?!?!" One more thing: I am walking down the street and look at the ground "Nice graphics" Then I stop...





Too Much SL?

Umm.... yeah.

Even I've never said BuhBuhCuh to someone. Although if it makes you feel better, sometimes I think of babies as newbs.

I always have monkeys on the brain. If someone were to ask me a question about a favorite animal, I'd say monkey (or hippo). Also, my brother asked me who Darwin was and I said a strange guy from SL. He also asked me what Darwin's Theory was and I said it's a rocket shop Darwin used to have.


My brother failed his evolution test :p

I had a dream about SL. I was playing it and Darwin said to look out the window at the sun and it was HUGE!!! I asked him what was going on and he said the sun was dying and that the human knowledge of the sun's lifetime was wrong and that it would live a lot shorter life and we were all goint to die! I told Char that we were all going to die and she's like "Yeah right!" Then I told her to look out the window and then she announces to the community, "Woah! We're all going to die! Goodbye my fellow SL players! We'll miss you all!!!" Darwin's flipping out launching rockets and stuff right before he dies. I dig a hole in the SL ground, put myself in a capsule, put myself inside it, and bury myself alive. Darwin made me come back up because he wanted to go to. Char came by and also went into a capsule too and we were all in the ground and then the sun burned the earth and we all died!

Then the classic ending of all dreams: I woke up. :p


What a crazy dream!!! :p I have a strange mind lol

Darwin, Char, and a monkey, all trapped inside a cosy capsule for eternity. Sounds kinky :P

This might be gaming in general, but I always refer to putting clothes on as equiping them. The necklaces and such I wear are generally referred to as attachments. On really windy days, I've thought about how difficult it would be to fly...

When you have only had 2 hours of sleep cause you been up late all last night from playing SL, and working at the present window at McDonald's your mind does strnge things. When my manager made me mad i really tried hard to neg rate her O.o. And i saw a girl come in wearing the same clothes as noobs do in SL, they were exactly the same, light blue and everything. So of course i thought to myself ah another noob :P

When surfing the net I sometimes find myself holding down the Alt button and moving my mouse trying to get a better look at pictures......how odd.

Talindra, same here. I also do it IRL, when driving. Instead of looking in the mirror, I try to look behind me by rotating my view. I actually press my left hand fingers down in the alt and alt + control positions! :rolleyes:

Back in early August, my daughter (who is almost 3) and I were driving in the car, and I was thinking to myself about SL. Nergal Fallingbridge's name happened to pop into my head, and Nergal's name always makes me chuckle to myself. Immediately after I thought of his name, my daughter said "Mommy, who's Nergal?" I swear I didn't say his name out loud, nor had I ever had an occasion to say his name when she might have heard. It was very bizarre.

Want to hear another SL dream? You never get tired of this.

Ok I was flung back to my childhood in third grade (when I used to start riots :p ) and I was playing SL. I was enemies with Darwin (NOOOOO!!!!) and heard he was selling Chinese food at a county fair. I went to go prank him or something. I met this kid there who said he was after someone named Charlie. I said I was after Darwin. We teamed up to help each other prank these other people. I got a bucket of steaming hot water and he got a paintball gun. I saw Darwin and the new friend goes, "There he is!" and I'm like, "That's who I'm after!" (Charlie, aka Charles, Charles Darwin??? Yeah, that's the real evolutionary guy) and so I pour my bucket of water on him and while Darwin is on the ground he shoots Darwin with the paintball gun. Darwin strangles us (Darwin's Theory of disipline: Strangle the monkey!) and runs off. I asked how he knew Darwin and said he met him on a game. I asked what game and he said SL. He's like, "You probably don't know it" and I'm like, "I do I play it!" I proceeded to ask him who he was (the dramatic ending) then he's like, "Well, I am..."

Then I woke up :p Strange huh? Don't correct my grammar!

I talked to my mum on the phone the other day. She asked me what I'd been up to, and without thinking I started to relate what I had been doing in SL the last few days, including getting shot in Jessie.
She was so shocked, and it was when I said 'I just teleported home' that the penny dropped for both of us. She asked 'uh, youre on about a computer game arent you' at the same time as me saying 'oh, it was just a game, dont worry'.

Sheesh, I must have had a boring time in RL last week!

Is this a crossover with the "Why is no one evil" thread?

My dog's name is Charlie. He chases me.

My other dog's name is Ozzy, after Ozzymandious. L$100 to the first person who can tell me the signifigance of Ozzymandious! </Trivia question>

Not sure what you want Darwin. Ozymandious was a Pharoh, real name Ramesses II. Shelly wrote a neat little poem about him:

I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed,
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Is that what you were looking for?

Yay Dev! That's the one!

He thinks he's big and fierce, but he's really short and waddly.
