hmm... Today I posted a 'smart' reply to someone in the "scripted agents" blog. Shortly afterwards I got an email from LL, telling me that some of my model bots (the ones that demo on sex beds) are not allowed in a mature sim, and was issued with a 'warning'. It was either a very big coincidence, or people at LL sometimes take notice of what we write there ![]() It would be typical. Skulk about and operate in the shadows, while untold threads with issues could have been resolved with a simple LL response just go on and on and on. _____________________

Debating on forums is a waste of time. Do you honestly think decision makers care about what they call "noise"? They don't. They don't read forums. Nothing. Forum debates are just a form of idle pastime entertainment. . I'm convinced that they choose some "gems" from forum, and share them over Appletinis and Rumaki at Wednesday afternoon's "TGIHD"....Thank God It's Hump Day Happy Hour. |

As for LL taking note I would lay odds on people probably filing a lot of ARs on you after reading your post lmao. |

A Yorkshireman goes into the vet's surgery carrying a box. Tell the vet he wants him to have a look at his cat. Vet says, "Is it a tom?" Tyke says, "Nay, he's in't box". (I wonder if I'm the only one who took an unproductive detour through Schrödinger before getting this. )_____________________

You've got them? I saw that they'd gone but I'd no idea where. But if you only have 5 of them, where are the other 67 that vanished? I don't know, but I am looking for them..and I will find them. ![]() ![]() _____________________

Seriously answer: There was a very long thread on SC on a controversial topic. There was some heat, but not as much as you'd see here in the SL Forums.
Just at the point that I was going to tire of it and unsubscribe, someone engaged the person everyone was swearing at and began to ask serious questions and got serious answers. It was a good thing -- at least for me -- that the thread outlived the personal antagonism and got into some meat, and I ended up learning something about the motivations of people that I've considered irrational and rabid. We -- especially we Americans -- have a rather thin skin when it comes to discussing or arguing or whatever it comes to be. And by the way, "twat" is a swear word, and it's not native to California. I remember hearing it when I was a kid as the punchline of a very adolescent joke. An airline stewardess asks a male passenger if he wants some of her "TWA coffee" and he replies, "No, I'd like some of your TWA tea." |

I smiled at that. Reminded me of a word heard but not written - "smeg" Oh, smeg. Now I can't use Red Dwarf references in type anymore? ![]() I too must agree with the idea that it's time to disengage as soon as you reach the point of calling somebody a twat though. Trust me, it may mean fool and other synonyms for such in some dictionaries, but in the state of Washington it means something entirely different. And as somebody from SoCal said, girls have them, boys don't. |

LOL...I remember hearing an old Dudley Moore/Peter Cook tape in College where they talked about Marilyn Monroe have Lobsters up the bum". Bingo. But I'm pretty sure Derek's lobster-afflicted employer was Jayne Mansfield. Fox's litany of swearwords reminded me of another sketch on the same 'Derek & Clive Live' album where, as far as I recall, two old fogeys discuss obscene language and where and when it is acceptable. The dialogue disolves into an hysterical rant of foul-mouthed nonsense. Laugh? I nearly shat. |

You are right, it was Jayne Mansfield.....wasn't there Chinese Takeaway up there as well? *I have to find that tape. It's packed away somewhere.* _____________________

If that's what you look like these days, I hope they have enough sense to stay right where they are as any attempt at escape could prove fatal. Are you feeding them well? Do they miss me? I do hope they miss me. They speak fondly of you. They are being well treated, and are looking forward to a time where they can return as productive members of society. _____________________

*I have to find that tape. It's packed away somewhere.* Well, for veracity, you could confirm the account of Lobsterissimus Bumikissimus here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpxJu4uJff4 I can't check it myself since I live in a YouTubeless zone. However, I saw a transcript and as it turned out, Clive was the administrator of lobster suppositories. People of a nauseous or sensitive disposition should not attempt to follow this link. |

Haven't heard that -- short for "smegma", perhaps? _____________________
