I KNOW!!! I think it's really very very sweet. AND, it really kind of reaffirms one's faith in humanity, doesn't it?  aye...and hats off to Laurin, a woman of infinite patience. _____________________

As a way of gauging who is "in" and who is "out" in this, our little forum community, I thought I'd post this poll. Laurin's nuptials with Pep are BOUND to be the social event of the year, so it's hard to imagine a better way to establish one's relative social status than by the appearance of that tidy little vanilla-coloured embossed invite in your PM box! If you aren't too afraid to be outed as someone who didn't make the guest list ("There, there, dear! I'm sure it's still in the mail . . ."  , let us know whether you've received an invite or not! And what your thoughts on the future of this glamorous pairing is likely to be!(With apologies for the misspelling of "devastated" in the poll! EEEP!  )And to make the ones who were not invited know their place?? This is exactly the HS sort of thing I hate about SL. No offence. |

I sort of agree with your overall point, about cliques and such. But as, in this case, NO one has been "invited," we can all equally feel "out." The OP is a joke. Literally. _____________________

OMG - are you kidding? This entire thread is nothing but a joke. There are no invitations for anyone. LOL, yeah. One might note, when looking at who voted for what on the poll, that neither the putative bride nor groom have "received" an invitation. So, a VERY exclusive wedding indeed! But, in fairness to Tarina, it may not be evident that it is a joke to everyone. That's probably my fault. Arguably, in fact, KNOWING that it is a joke could be taken as a sort of sign of one's "in-ness." And I DO actually apologize if it seems cliquey; this was meant to be funny, not exclusionary. _____________________

This entire thread is nothing but a joke. A hoax, yes.. but one thing's pretty evident from all the wild and fascinating imaginations I see at work in this thread.... I've obviously been cybering all the *wrong* people _____________________

I suppose that is true. But it is not really a sign of a clique here, just a sign of how much one reads the various trivial threads (which probably really just indicate those of us without a life). Yep, true. I wouldn't have got this joke myself a couple of weeks ago, before I started paying attention to the undying thread. Soooo, about this cybering thing . . . what have I been missing here? /me scrolls back through the thread . . . _____________________

Psssst! Jig! Play this one right, and you may be able to do a LOT better than my foldout couch!!! I knew my Daddy was rich! And an aristocrat! I just knew it! Coz, you all know I was born Neko. And he just admitted he had all those mewling kittens (who do not desrve any of his estates as much as I do since I am a Princess and a true Shang at heart. But then... I cant help glancing in Pep's direction. And I see that lonely old Welshman trolling along the coal pits to Cambridge and Oxon. with his swaggerbag slung over his shoulder, laden with the Shorter Oxford and a tattered Fowler's and I realize he has been a true (if creepy) father with his gerunds and his possessives and all his parallelism and then I laugh at the memory of when he dressed up as Santa Clause. But THEN I think of Laurin! Not much better than a Mother Courage, I am afraid. A true Moll Flanders. All her finery and her wigs and skins! Hah! And my poor plain and homely sister Scylla. Her father was a English trawlerman who was looking for the BBC Radio 4 Shipping Forecast and logged on to SL by mistake and spent 30 minutes in Amsterdam Sim pleasuring the hussy! And lo and behold along came Scylla. Poor girl think she's NOT English. Lol! But Desmond will take me away from all this. And like some modern day Olivia Twist I shall become an heiress to Grand Estates. And Pep will come crawling to me looking for handouts. I shall forgive Laurin and my other mother Deira,"She of the Rolling Sim", who taught me to be Gaelic and Grim. (a little bit of rap to keep you happy). Now I must log off and tell you that what I will bedoing tomorrow in real is just as bizarre - driving on a wet, muddy and inaccessible logging road to look for rock paintings before winter sets in. Wish me luck! Goodnight sl parents all and my darling sister (the trollope!) Goodnight Ladies, Goodnight sweet ladies. Goo night, Goo night. _____________________

Aww, I was just claiming the Shang fortune before any other slippery customer decided to grab a spot. Dont worry Scyl. I know your a beauty. A tramp, maybe. But still a beauty. save a spot on the fold out couch for me. Or rather, YOU take the fold out like Elaine in that Seinfeld episode and I'll have YOUR bed (with clean sheets please). PS You're really classy. _____________________

I can tell you to one not in on the inside joke... There is no indicator it is not what it seems. Thank you for clearing it up for me. |

Hmmmmm - well I still think Pep shoud make an honest woman out of Laurin and then I can be Maid of Honour in a pink dalek dress. Scylla, please make sure that the music is appropriately gaelic and grim for the ceremony. "You will be conjugated" with overtones of Riverdance. ...and Des should definitely adopt Jig and see that she has a good SLeducation. She must attend the NCI Classes and study Torley's Video Tutorials in her spare time. Then when she had graduated from the Tower of Prims she should do a postgraduate course at the Partical Laboratory. That will prepare her for a full and productive Second Life, instead of running wild around the grid and displaying inappropriate works of art in PG regions. _____________________

Well, due to a HIDEOUS oversight on my part, I did, in fact, neglect to include the option for "pie" on the poll. As several people have already noted. I have, however, been in touch with the caterer, and she assures me that the "pie" option WILL be on the reception menu. What kind of pie would be most appropriate, do you think? Humble  With Steve Marriott since this is a Pie In the Sky type of thing. _____________________

You think you are keeping a sensible perspective on these forums and before you know it you are a bridesmaid in a pink dalek dress at a grim celtic wedding!

wait.....Pep has a heart? O.o? Pep ( . . . although for some reason none of the disappointed ever return the ring.) STOP PRESS STOP PRESS STOP PRESS STOP PRESS STOP PRESS STOP PRESS The previously announced wedding of Laurin Sorbet and Pserendipity ("Pep" Daniels will not now take place. Mr Daniels commented: "Delighted as I am to have it absolutely confirmed that I am not Jig's father (and commiserations to Desmond) I am afraid that the revelation that Laurin is Jig's blood-mother prevents any further congress; I shall be removing Ms Sorbet from my Christmas Card list immediately."_____________________
