Have u ever been to the cornfield?

A botfield. OMG I could think of no other hell in SL than to be sent to a botfield.

Now THAT would be scary.

Cornfields are cool, except that the leaves cut you and there are spiders. *shudder*

IRL I live within walking distance of cornfields.

Course this time of the year they are more like ... shallow lakes.

Yes Ann, that comes to mind, if I remember right. It has a real old rusted out train engine off to one side of it and wheat, or dry grass as far as the eye can see. The music there is kind of spaced out and you may see a group or two of folks (usually a few loners) just standing or sitting in either deep contemplation or deep IM conversations. (Boring stuff)...but a good place to go where no one will bother you.

I'd like to see griefers sent to some sort of farm in RL. Maybe a couple weeks up to their elbows in mud would do them some good. I doubt any of them have done an honest day's labor in their lives. We could just send a LL hit squad out to drag them out of their basements and haul them off to Camp Linden, where they weed cotton fields, stack bales of hay, dig potatoes, etc. A little dirt under their nails will do them good.

At one point I was a snot-nosed teenager who decided he wasn't going to listen to The Man and was going to do whatever the hell he wanted. The next thing I knew, my dad had me working on a citrus ranch (I grew up in the South San Joaquin Valley in CA). A summer full of 110 degree days spent hauling irrigation line and walking behind a spray rig cured me right up.

And up to their ankles in pig poo...

I'd just make them spend a weekend with Ricardo. He could show them The Bronx.

It's a great place, particulary to take pictures. But, I was there the other day and it was filled with very obnoxious people. I was trying to take some picture of myself and this group kept on jumping around on top of me, getting in my shot, flying all around me - talking about junk in open chat.

Can't say it's zen-like by any means - at least not the day I was there. But it is gorgeous eye-candy as far as sims go if you like painterly quality and wide open spaces (which I do). Sort of like a Wyatt painting

A weekend in the Bronx could be fun.. more griefer training than anything else.

Now a weekend with Ricardo in a Chicken Farm... that will cure anyone.

I clicked this post thinking it would be about the C of D!
I was there yesterday, and at one point, tried to push an AFK av, whom we had declared a Zombie, into the cornfield. I was having trouble steering and left her a few yards shy of it XD.

erf. Yuck. I also had to muck stalls for the horses, but horse poo is better than pig poo. It stinks, but it's nothing like the unbearable stench you get off of pigs. Who the hell needs horses to grow oranges and lemons? It's not like you need to round them up and drive them to the packing house. This was well after the invention of the tractor. Those horses were useless for farming. The owners of the farm just wanted to feel like cowboys. Not a damned cow anywhere in sight - just acres and acres of citrus and a bunch of stupid horses.

(Actually, I sort of liked the horses. I wasn't to fond of mucking out their stalls, but the horses themselves were way more fun than digging random holes in the hardpan and lugging giant rocks around to shore up the retention ponds. At least there was some shade in the stables)

Maybe an "Escape From New York" rp sim...

I have a copy o' the corn m'self. Begged a copy off a Linden. I use it sometimes for fun -- yes, for "wishing people to the cornfield"

/me makes note to be nice to Mari at all times.

No, but i have heard of it. But I dont think ill ever go there since i dont do anything to have to be sent there. Be interesting to see it though, i mean, i have seen pics of it, but be interesting to be in it

I'm a regular child of the corn. And it's good. It's real good.

(Mixing her references)

The corn is knee high by the 4th of July...or is it an elephants eye?

The elephant's eye is the dumbest unit of measure ever. The last thing a corn farmer needs is some 10,000 pound circus reject tromping through his cornfields and scaring the neighbors. Haven't they invented the tape measure in Oklahoma yet? Do they have to pull off the heist of the century from the local zoo every time they want to check their crop's performance? Even if they don't have a tape measure, a long stick with a mark on it would work just fine. Do you have any idea what the cost of upkeep on a friggin' elephant is??!! The eat a LOT! Not to mention hiring a guy with a giant shovel and some sawdust to follow them around everywhere they go.

Just a terrible idea for a unit of measure. What else are they going to use? The width of a whale's tail? The number of times a naked guy gets stung by wasps when he hits the nest with a stick? The length of time it takes a rubber tire to burn?

Now instead of a Cornfield, you're sent to the "cornhole".

It's run by an avatar named Ben Dover.

LOL! I once had to unload a truckload of Pig Manure.

My sinuses were clear for a week but all I could smell was that sour-smelling Pig crap.

Could I have a copy also please? What size land does it need to be rezz on?

Pie ?

I wonder how many of the reader here understand the cornfield reference. And no, it's not Children of the Corn.

One of my many failing is bein' a TZ fan.

I DO!!!

As in a very young Billy Mummy, a.k.a. Will Robinson.

I wont give away the answer

"Thats real good of you. Real Good."
