OMG, I feel like I’m finally a woman! Even tho I had the precursor rite of hippos eating my friends list, not until last nite did I finally experience the full monty, the supreme rite of passage into full SL citizenship—I TP’d to a club, and yes, arrived with my hair, a shoe, my AO and my Mystitool up my butt. I’m so proud! :p

Now for my question. Sometimes when I sit and cam around with my arrow keys, it seems my POV gets stuck way out above my AV. I try camming closer, but when I walk the POV moves back out and away, so that if I’m in a building, for example, I’m looking at the outside of the building, not inside with my AV. The only way to reset seems to be to relog. Does anyone else experience this? Is there a way to fix it short of relogging?

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

I was flying around ETD last night, cursing and swearing in unladylike manner about a set of hair that simply refused to materialize on my head. Continued to flap about for quite a while, grumbling about lag and the evils of a busy sim.

Ended up wondering how long I'd been hovering around with a bright pink wig up my butt, complete with twirling DEMO cube.

Note to self: Zoom out once in a while.

so the "whatever you do, try on the demos at home and not in the store" advice was well heeded then? ;)

Yes, but I missed that one and it is sooooo cute and I just couldn't wait to get home and follow sensible Herzog advice 'cause then I saw the shoe display and had to check that out...

Oops!
/me wonders if she went into the shoe section with a pink wig stuck up her butt

rofl - yes, if hair doesn't rez fairly quickly, at least zoom out just in case it did attach.

Way too sensible and takes too much time.

The "stuff getting stuck up your butt" problem is why I NEVER, EVER tp anywhere unless Trout, Jr. is safely tucked away in inventory and is not attached. You think having your hair up your butt is embarrassing? Try explaining THAT little issue.

This thread is making me laugh heartily. :)

My AV has a shower and for some reason I love to give him showers. But I just can't do it without attaching his bits and bobs. Theres something just not right about it without them.

Well I can't tell you how many times now I've gotten out of the shower, gotten dressed and gone shopping with my "stuff" still out there for the world to see, only to notice hours later! LOL


And I know people see me and don't say anything.
And I know they think I'm a perv. LOL

But in the end I just laugh my RL ass off.

With Nicholaz, I don't end up with hair/shoes/etc up my bum from a TP anymore, but when I just attach hair, it will still sometimes attach to the rear.
:eek:

I haven't had it happen once since he released whatever version that was to take care of it. I do very occasionally have the issue where things attach at the bum when I *first* put them on, but that's just a single item at a time, rather than all of them, so it's no big deal to detach and reattach.

You can bugger the Trout,
That big slippery lout
If he's left all his bits on the shelf
If he hasn't, that's fine
We can all get in line
And watch the Trout bugger HIMSELF!

honestly maybe it's the designer of the hair just being a smart ass and making the attachment point your backside for a giggle :P

it has been confirmed that the "prim attached to the butt" was code purposely put in the viewer to operate at random intervals as a joke by a developer at Linden Labs. :D

Confirmed by whom? Don't make statements like this unless you can back them up...

As a lifelong addict of song parody writing (it's a curse, people, it really is) I must say:

the above is truly a thing of beauty.
