Even I have found myself to be less annoying this year...if that is at all possible.
Only in comparison with Stallion, surely.

Apropos nothing in particular: I wish there were a wiki page of all the alts we're actually supposed to know about. For example, I'm pretty sure that everybody posting in the Neverending thread knows everybody else's "public" alts. But somehow I immediately repress this information the moment somebody tells me. But then I feel rude for not knowing the main-to-alt(s) mappings: it appears that I'm not paying attention. Which is only half true. I mean, I'm intensely interested when people volunteer the info, but within a few seconds I've forgotten it completely. It's like I have an "alt filter" in my hippocampus.

(Heh. I said "hippo.";)

Oh.. I have no alts- nope- none whatsoever...
Truth is I have so many I have a list- but none are secret- they pop in and out and post every time there is an alt parade :)

Yes- it's used to beat the alts back into the darkness from whence they came...

I'll answer these and save everyone a TON of time next year...

wk1. Would you rather have a bionic arm or a bionic leg? Leg. Gives me lots better gas mileage for commuting.

wk2. Do people in Australia call the rest of the world "up over"? No.

wk3 Does killing time damage eternity? Only in finite areas. Being infinite, eternity as a whole is not harmed.

wk4 Are part-time bandleaders semiconductors? Yes. And sex change siblings are trans sisters.

wk5 Have you ever seen a toad on a toadstool? No. They excrete them, not sit on them.

wk6 How many weeks are there in a light year? Only 50. You don't get a vacation in light years.

wk7. Would you rather have your face and body but the brain of a chimpanzee or be a chimpanzee but have your human brain? Chimp me out, baby, and we'll go ape together.

wk8. If blind people wear dark glasses, why don't deaf people wear earmuffs? Eh? What was that?

wk9. If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented? (not racist, i checked ;) Not if he is firmly Angkor'd, Wat?

wk10 Could a hyperactive hamster power your house? Calling Ray Figtree...

wk11 How long would it take a coconut to float from the Caribbean to Scotland? So long that when it gets there, it's haggis.

wk12 Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds? Because men invented the word.

wk13 Why is brassiere singular and panties plural? Because men invented the words.

wk14 Where's Waldo? In the volcano with Lynnette and Mumfuzz.

wk15 If a tree falls in the forest, and nobody but a mime is around to hear it, and it lands on the mimes head, does anybody care? If I had a mime for every time I've heard this one...

wk16 Can fat people go skinny-dipping? Yes. The term was originally supposed to be "skinnie-dipping", referring to dipping your unprotected skin in water. But men (sigh) corrupted the spelling.

wk17 Could crop-circles be the work of a cereal killer? *grins ryely and shakes her head*

wk18 Do clowns wear really big socks? Yes. They're especially useful at Christmas.

wk19 Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? No, because it's done solo.

wk20 Do vampires get AIDS? Yes, always. But they can't die from it.

wk21 Do you realize how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them? Don't do it! If we took the dirt out of all the holes, the planet would be declared void.

wk22 Does an analyst have to be anal? Absolutely. I'm a fatalist, and I'm coming to YOUR house tonight. Do the math.

wk23 Would you rather be a penguin who's a bird but can't fly or a flying fish that's a fish that can fly a bit? Flying fish. I HATE having cold feet.

wk24 Why is the word dictionary in the dictionary? Because it was compiled by a bunch of analysts.

wk25 If a fly has no wings would you call him a walk? No. He'd be an ant.

wk26 If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a picture of a thousand words worth? A thousand words. It's a picture!

wk27 If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked? Shell if I know...but I do know that he's soup.

wk28 If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know? Some analyst would point it out. Probably Pep.

wk29 If God took LSD acid, would he see...people? He did. See Genesis.

wk30 If our knees were on the backs of our legs, what would chairs look like? Bird perches.

wk31 If you tied buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropped it from a height, what would happen? Antigravity. I read it right here in teh Forumz.

wk32 Is an oxymoron a really dumb bovine? No. It's an idiot with respiratory problems.

wk33 Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny? Stop clowning around. This is your second clown question.

wk34 What do chickens think we taste like? Soylent Green.

wk35 What do people in China call their good plates? They don't have any. They broke them all spinning them on long skinny sticks.

wk36 What happened to the first 6 UP's? They went down.

wk37 What is a "free" gift? Aren't all gifts free? One that's escaped.

wk38 What was the best thing before sliced bread? A knife.

wk39 What's the synonym for thesaurus? Dictionary.

wk40 When cows laugh, does milk come out of their noses? No, Pepsi...like everyone else.

wk41 When people lose weight, where does it go? To their heads.

wk42 Where does the fire go when the fire goes out? It generally goes to see an old flame.

wk43 Where in the nursery rhyme does it say Humpty Dumpty is an egg? It doesn't. It's a riddle, you're supposed to guess that "Humpty Dumpty", an old term for a short, clumsy person, actually refers to an egg. There are several other meanings attributed to the nursery rhyme; see the Wikipedia entry for it.

wk44 Who opened that first 'oyster' and said "My, my, my. Now doesn't 'this' look yummy!" We learned about them from watching otters. "If THEY can do it, *I* can do it."

wk45 Whose cruel idea was it for the word 'lisp' to have an 's' in it? See Week 12 or 13.

wk46 Why are hemorrhoids called "hemorrhoids" instead of "asteroids"? Because it would be too humiliating for humanity's demise to be caused by a giant hemorrhoid strike.

wk47 Why are some gay people so unhappy? They just don't know how to party.

wk48 Why do pigs have curly tails? From constantly clenching their hams in anticipation.

wk49 Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat? To have something to feed to the pigs.

wk50 Why do you need an appointment to see a psychic? I don't. I have a GOOD psychic. She calls ME.

wk51 Why doesn't the fattest man in the world become a hockey goalie? He tried, but he kept breaking through the ice.

wk52 What? That. :D

Not even close. The best friday threads were those that came out of nowhere, by people without a posting history, usually ranting about some injustice they were the victim of or a soap box sermon denoting the evils of a given activity/fetish/ lifestyle in SL. They are usually meant to be serious discussions, at least in the mind of the OP.


Speaking of which, I'm kind of missing the "Felon Hall" posts.

And my vote for a Friday thread, which may not actually be a Friday thread but a recurring thread that should be:

"Where are all the men in SL" and its variant "Where can I go to meet men."

GALAPAGOS PENGUINS

From: http://www.siec.k12.in.us/west/proj/penguins/galap.html
This is the smallest of the warm weather penguins. It stands only 16 to 18 inches (40 to 45 cm) tall and weighs only 5 pounds (2 to 2.5 kg). Galapagos penguins have a thin white band that runs under their chin. They have a black upside down horseshoe shape around their belly. The Galapagos may look like the Magellanic but it is smaller and the black markings on the belly are thinner. They are found on the Galapagos Islands and on Isabela Island just north of the Equator. They are the penguins that live the farthest north.

One of the main problems for this penguin is keeping cool. Living close to the equator it gets over 100 degrees F (38 degrees Celsius) during the daytime. They keep cool by swimming and hunting for food in the cold water of the Cromwell Current during the day. During the cool nights they sleep and nest on the land. They hold their flippers out to help the heat escape their bodies. They protect their feet from getting sunburned by holding their flippers over their feet when on land.

Let's pretend this thread is about alts, because they're more fun to talk about.

Let me publicly apologize for not recognizing people when I see them as their "well-known" alts. I'm terrible with names, and in that regard, SL really is a nightmare for me! So, yes, I forget all you shadowy clones as soon as I learn about you.

Way back when we had the ALT party (remember that?) I actually began keeping a list of them. I just dug it up and it's a real trip down memory lane ... many peeps I don't run into anymore at all. Is Joseph Abel still around?

"Screw Darwin", I saw you once at the hangout, come out come out wherever you are and tell me who you really are! For some reason "Screw Darwin" is my favorite alt name (though "Horrible Noyes also makes me giggle), even though I could not be a bigger evolution fan.

What's your favorite alt name?

There is absolutely NO GOOD REASON to give up men- but you can diversify.

On the contrary - one or two have mistakenly wandered on in there. It is up to the distaff side to lead them out into the light :) (OK, not too much light- it's their barbarian side just barely contain that I personally find so appealing.)

wk36 What happened to the first 6 UP's?

According to Professor Donald Sadoway (MIT) the name is derived from the atomic mass of Lithium, 7, which was originally one of the key ingredients of the drink.
