guess it would depend on which linden

but heck yea go out to dinner discuss what its like bein a linden and then take them to my house so they can see what sl looks like and acts like on a normal every day computer LOL

then get them drunk...take bad staged photos of them after they pass out and then blackmail them for a gabillion $L LOL ok j/k on this last part

If it was Phillip I would ask for a job, at my current pay scale, plus benefits and I want to work from home.

Thanks Phil,

I was dancing at the Shelter once and there was a Linden there. But he was just standing around among other people so I didn't say anything. Also I bumped into a small group of people at the Burning Life desert sims when they were first opened up for last year's event. I asked a question, and realised one of the people was a Linden, but somebody else answered my question.

Probably would walk past them, because I would not recognize a single one of them. Well okay, I would recognize Torley :-) Him I would offer a few drinks I guess, love his video's. The rest of the company are for me like the people working at the cable or electricity company. Would not take those to dinner either :-)

I'd find the nearest policeman and get them arrested for being the dealer of my addiction.

I came really close to meeting one. Took a trip out to LA for New Years, and was going to meet up with one and party. When I got there, we never contacted each other. Ah well...I had fun with my lady and friends anyhow.

She works in the SF LL office. Cool girl.

Been there, done that, a number of times. They're just people.

Well, except for that one Linden.

If you meet a Linden on the road...

Greet him with neither words, nor silence...

Give him an uppercut...

And then he shall know the true meaning of Customer Service.

===========

In all seriousness, I'd more likely buy the poor fellow a beer and chat for a few hours. But I would expect that the time would largely be wasted, since I don't think the average Linden can do much to affect the course set by the high-level ones.

I would have to go outside for that to happen, right? (@_@)

I'd ask for his card and if I can call him during business hours. I never like talking about my work during off times, I'm sure a lot of them don't either.

But Ceera's idea did make me laugh.

I'd try their cooking, and enjoy a good evening's conversation -- much of it would *not* be SL related.

Well, at least that's what happened last time. ;-)

Like Phoenix said, jes peoples like any of us, for good or ill, ya know?

As a matter of fact, I did. And now that you mention it: maybe that's why he got lost in thought so quickly!

I would ask the Linden to the Zoo and we would enjoy Hippos and it would be nice and the Linden would feel sleepy and need to rest and I would shave his or her head.

Drop my pants and demand she Mak Sexxies NOW. Either that or give my first live rating.

OK - seriously, I don't have a lot to be upset about. It's easy being a bigshot on the internet and I highly doubt people would be as aggressive as they are here in real life. It's a whole lot harder when you have to look another person in the eyes and be a jackass to them.

I'd like to meet a couple of the Lindens and just hang out. They have a very interesting job, so it would be fun to get their perspective. LL sounds like a completely different work experience than what I'm used to. First round is on me. Hey, are they hiring?

Actually, I have a friend who is a Linden. Met him inworld before he became a Linden and we became good friends. During a trip to San Francisco last year with my SL partner (who is now RL too but that's another story) we met up with our Linden friend and had a great lunch with him and his wife. My Linden friend then took us on a tour of Linden Labs and it was quite fun. Even put a pic of us all outside Linden Labs in my profile
