RL laws in SL

That's one hell of a comment from someone who said they couldn't comment. Don't think anyone was taking this thread as seriously as you. Odd that.

Ok.... clearly people have gone off the deep end here. SL is a virtual world.....nothing actually really happens here.....it's simulated.... the idea that an avitar with a ciggy could be offensive to anyone in world has me seriously concerned for these people's grasp on reality as a whole. Take a step back.....step AWAY from the computer...go outside... breath the air... get a grip! Honestly...I can't even comment....this is so ludicrous. At the risk of offending...and I am truly not out to offend anyone's sensitivities..... WTF preople...it's a friggin cyber reality we're talking about here....half the time I'm in-world I walk around with a fatty hanging out of my mouth......next thing ya know I'm gonna be arrested by the SL police for drug posession!!! Get over yourselves.... the very idea of having a virtual world to hang out in is appealing because it's an escape from the BS of real life. If people are taking it so literally as to bring in RL issues and rules.....they need their heads examined. JMHO

ok....I'm done.... ducking now.....

Sounds boring then

The best canes in the world come from Singapore ...


(I'll get me coat)

Ummm ...

Oh I know. I just fear that may be too subtle for the PitWit.

I'll drive. *Warms up the Huey*

RL I had a friend being hit on by a drunken idiot. I tried the 'leave my girlfriend (she wasn't) alone' routine with predictable results so I told him I'd ice his pants for him if he didn't desist (how I said that I dunno ... we'd been working our way through the liquors based on the pretty colours and I get drunk easily at the best of times).

The girl behind the bar must have heard me. I leaned back and asked her for some ice and she came back with an entire plastic pint glass full of the stuff. So I took one cube out and said "You know what I am going to do now, don't you?".

Blank look and a belch (no not me, him).

Pulled his belt, took a terrible health risk and tipped the rest down into where alcohol hath rendered inoperable anyway - then I said ... "And how do you feel now huh?".

"Uggh ... I feel funny ..." and off he lurched.

The funniest part was what happened over the next few weeks. I had people coming up to me and asking "Are you the bird who chucked ice in John's kex?" etc ... buying me drinks, shouting "Oi John she's over here" and seeing him scuttle away looking embarassed when I saw him in Marks and Spencers etc. Milton Keynes is a very small place, there was no hiding!

I'll do it if Brenda can come along to point and vomit for me. It's a public service!

So that was you? I was only trying to be friendly.

hoooooo 4 pages of worthles comment from the first post to Im sure the last.

To the OP, I know you where trying to be funny, but sarcasm can get stupid really fast

Sorry guys. I think it's more a case of a very ENGLISH sense of humour by the OP. Hence my comments about johnnys, donkeypoo and Sellafield

OK I am going to edit that. Mickey ... sweetie ... come talk to me in world if you think that was too subtle for me ...

MY response was too subtle for you dahhhhhling so I will translate.

ummm = where the hell do I start dissecting this one ... meh ... more fun NOT to

Cherry, my response wasn't really aimed at you ... I was trying to subtly needle Milla for thinking this thread was serious, and yours was the last reply that was in reference to hers so that's the one I clicked on to quote in reply.

In retrospect I should have just replied without quoting anyone. Or kept my mouth shut. Either-or.

In any case, sorry.

Plenty of petrol Running out of fuel over that distance is prolly not a good thing.

Hmmm.... you think the running out of gas trick might be ill advised in this case?

I think so. Unless you've got an amphibious Huey. Which sounds both rude and painful.

1. In the state of Arizona, the hunting of camels is illegal.

2. In the state of Texas it is an offence for any donkey to be left in a bathtub outdoors on it's own at night.

3. In the UK no person may beat their carpet out of a first storey window on a saturday. All other windows and/or days are permitted.

4. The making of mince pies during Advent is strictly prohibited.

5. Any Englishman is permitted to shoot with a bow any Welshman found to still be within the walls of the city of Chester after 10pm. The details are still being worked out on this one.

Personally, I am fascinated by number 2 and would dearly love to know what situation arose that made it necessary to pass such a law.

I'm more concerned about #4 and the effect it may have on this Forum.

Good thing you are the new Health Inspector.
