Avie Descrimination

You just liked the boots and tongue.

Wait... that sounded wrong.

That's IT! I'm leaving again.

OK, I'm back.


Wait...I'm leaving.


Back.

You know what the problem is? In Sl, it's too easy to move your stuff when you storm out. If you had to rent a van, pack your stuff up, go find somewhere else to live, hump your sofa up three flights of stairs, etc..., nobody would ever leave.

Ooh, those pictures. I was thinking of the picture I sent Trout to get a rating. The same picture in my avatar.

I also liked the boots and the tongue. Only the tongue part was mine. I also liked the teeth, also mine, and the fur, and the neko ears, and the . . . meow.

I'm confused. You left? That is what I get for not reading the forums on the weekend. Trout storms out. And in again. And out again. How much money have you spent so far to reactivate your account, Trout? At $10 a pop that can get expensive fast (like the first time).

Don't worry Soji- he had a revolving door installed.

Trout, you're a GENIUS! There's a whole thread going on in the Volunteers forum about "How to Get Newbies to Stay in SL". Chained to SL by a sofa. Yes...it all makes perfect sense now.

It is really too bad that he lives on a submarine though.

...but but but...he's a Trout...

/sits down to contemplate a revolving door on a submarine...and to see if he can catch his own thumb...

Just remember, it is dogs that try to catch their own tails. *pauses as he watches his cat grip his own tail and start eating it.* Yes dogs. Cats can catch their tails, so don't need to try to catch it.

I can just see PETA getting into this conversation.

sorry, had to say it.

It moved! I saw it...
It moved again!

/tenses legs to spring...just waiting for the right moment, when his tail isn't looking...almost...almost...

(oh yeah, forget that thumb thing earlier...I forget I don't have thumbs, except when I try to use the can opener...would that be why people would discriminate against non-human AV's? No thumbs?)

Yes. The thumbs. People like beer and they assume that they only way to open a beer can or bottle is with a thumb. Stupid humans.

Yep. I am.

Actually, as someone who recently moved in RL, I can tell you this: Getting a 200 pound sofa up three flights of stairs really, really sucks. I won't be announcing that I'm leaving the new place at least until my back heals up - maybe in a couple years.

The problem with the revolving door is that once I get in, I can never figure out how to get out. I just go in circles until I die of old age or hunger. Revolving doors are a metaphor for life.

Did you get a rating?

I liked all of the above too... especially the teeth... and the pretty fur...

*meow*

11 floors sux worse...believe me - i nearly choked myself attempting it lol....don't ask how the hell the sofa ended up at my neck - i dont have the faintest.

www.hulu.com they have every episode except the first one last time i checked.

also if ya really feelin nostalgic, It Takes a Thief, Lost in Space, and my personal fave, Johnny Socko and his Flying Robot enjoy!!!!

Yes, Trout gave me a rating of 0.5. I was sad that he would only give me a 0.5 out of 1. And then I learned that the rating was 0.5 out of 10.

*mews*

Awwww... Well, at least you were given a rating! *looks at my sig briefly*

I think we should appeal your rating. Was that rating before or after the "tongue" picture? If before, maybe you can score higher based on that one.

PS: Metamorphoses has a new avvie... a Balinese kitty! I'm thinking of looking into that one.

The rating picture was sent last year at some point, before Trout rated males (I was playing around when I sent the picture, but I am not certain I knew that male issue at the time, and I am somewhat certain that Trout thought I was female; we had not yet meet; oh and at least he played along, I also sent the picture to the one who was said to rate men and a month later I got back something like "why did you send me this?" - it was something mentioned at both the hangout and on the forum that "?" would rate men, but I have forgotten who "?" is now).

I like Balinese kitties, though I really like Himalayans (with normal noses, not the pushed in Persian nose, though Himalayans now mostly have the pushed in nose), and Birmans. All three can have a similar look, as long as you can't actually see them in person, and so I might pick up the Balinese myself.

It is interesting that I can never remember the shop as being named Metamorphoses, as I originally was interested in the kitty from there because the creator came by the Forum Hangout in one of her kitties shapes. So I always think of it as her shop. I need to remember "Metamorphoses."

You definitely need a review of your rating then, especially now since Trout will rate men and he did rate your feline self already.

I just picked up the Balinese. I'm fishing by my pond right now. The kitty can dance too! And yes, Nimbus makes very nice kitties! There's an anim called "catloaf". ha ha ha. This is too much fun.

*purrrs*

I rate men? This is a new development. Nope - sorry. I still don't rate men. It's not some form of homophobia or anything, it's just that I haven't a clue what makes men even remotely attractive. We men are notoriously bad for thinking our pot bellies and comb-overs make us sex machines. I just can't work out a rating system for guys. I made an exception for Bradley, and when I rated you, I rated you as your avatar (which is what I pretty much do for everyone). Your avatar was a cute little kitty cat. Not a neko or anything, but the slightly anime-looking cat in your avatar. In fact, you were a cat with a tiny little pet cat.

Very cute, but not slutty. You didn't even register on the slutty scale. I shudder to think what that avatar acting slutty would even look like.

Lucrezia - I'd be happy to rate you. Just send some pics, whichever ones you want and I'll do it. Did you want me to work off the ones you sent me in the notecard with Soji? Your sig makes me laugh - that was a fun conversation. Dear Doctor Phil Trout...

LOL... ohhh I thought you rated men now. I thought Trout did it all!!! Bradley is sure something special then. But we knew this already

So Soji sneaked in, eh? Heh. He's a clever kitty.

It was a fun conversation, for sure. I'm glad you know everything. Whew. As for my rating, I'm content with my non rating until I do something worthy of a real slut rating -- I don't think the boots alone really factor.

Yes, the animations are quite interesting to play with

Oh, and all of this strikes me as Avatar Discrimination (the topic of the thread). Trout seems to be implying, by giving me a rating of 0.5, that furries cannot be slutty. I've thought long and hard about this and growl in Trout's direction.

I had used the term "males" because Trout had rated both Bradley and me, though I admitted that Trout might not have realized I was male at the time. I also admit that I probably should have worded that differently, but then I didn't realize that Bradley was the lone exception. heh

Well they can be a factor, but I would agree that boots alone do not make . . what . . boots alone? Well of course, wearing just boots would be slutty. Um. I've confused myself and started drooling. Sorry.

Wrong. Well, it's not wrong to growl, I probably deserve it for something, but it's not discrimination. I'd happily rate a furry if one were to send me a picture. You were a tiny little anime cat, which may have made you furry, but it did not make you slutty. If the scale rated furriness, you would have been way up there.

Actually, come to think of it, I had someone send me a series of pictures that included her as a furry, and as I recall, she got a very high rating. Up in the 9's. She was sluttier than you.
