Dear Ms. McCann:
It's us again, the Lindens. It is our understanding that you have a child-like interest in our new employees, the Leprechauns. Considering your stature and features, we surmise that the reason behind this fascination is that you are a child. We want you to know that you are welcome in Second Life, despite the fact that your life is in danger from a number of journalists, communists, ageists, and other people whose categories end in "ist". At any rate, we recently brought in a contingent of small Irish workers to man our facilities here in San Francisco. We tried to use them at our Texas operations (known internally as Rancho Rosedale), but every time they put on their cowboy hats, they just disappeared from sight, and the locals would stop referring to them as "them little green armadillos". Nevertheless, they have proven to be quite industrious, since they are actually small enough to enter our servers with little tiny wrenches and screwdrivers and fix the code, which, it turns out, is not so much a bunch of ones and zeroes as it is a bunch of little springs, gears and cogs. Steampunk code. Who knew? Some of the other benefits the little fellows provide is the rainbow which always hovers over the building, pots of gold, which Philip is using to plate his executive toilet, and a lifetime supply of Lucky Charms Cereal for all LL employees and their extended families. Unfortunately, we are being required to pay VAT on them, so it is uncertain whether they have a future with LL. Requiring us to pay VAT is significantly more of a burden than our requiring our customers to pay VAT, and frankly, we're getting a little sick and tired of corned beef and boiled cabbage. Plus, they bite. You heard me right. Leprechauns have sharp little teeth and when you try to kick them out from under your desk, or catch them nicking your snacks out of the fridge in the employee breakroom, they latch onto your ankles with their pointy little teeth. It's unsanitary. Anyway, that's the downlow on the Leprechauns. I'm glad we had a chance to have this little talk. Please continue to enjoy your Second Life, and we applaud you on your curiosity. When you lose your next tooth, remind us to tell you about the time we hired the tooth fairy to oversee our janitorial staff. Sincerely, O'Blarney McLinden _____________________

Trout,
Aren't you at work while you posting on here? Do you ever actually get any work done? _____________________

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. |

That sound fun... Yikes! Fixed the typo. I'm not sure if it was Freudian slip or just the fact that the "U" is right next to the "I" and I have stumpy little sausage fingers. _____________________

Trout - I came home from work in a really pissy mood and this is the first post I read. Thank you for brightening my day - I needed something to chuckle over.

I really enjoy these legal letters... can we have a thread just for more of them? lol - I'd do it, but it would really irritate the people who think all we should ever do is be very, very serious and answer very serious questions in a very serious and not at all humorous manner. This isn't fun, after all. It's Resident Answers. It would be fun to have a thread entitled "Ask the Lindens" People could post questions and I would answer them in the form of "Letters From the Lindens." I wonder how long it would take for LL's legal team to hit me with a cease and desist letter. That might be the first one posted. _____________________

Has anyone else noticed that around St Patricks day every bugger in the world suddenly developes an Irish great-great-great-grandfather that they never mention at all during the rest of the year?
I loathe this day more than any other in the whole year. Damn glad it's over for another year. _____________________

If you don't thinks so, just have a couple of shots of Jameson's with them, and you'll see they are as Irish as can be. |
