Wishing you could use "Sorry, crashed" as a way to get out of a boring conversation.

michael yes it does... has to be cut and dry, no other way to do it, just the facts sir!

I am kidding of course.

It is just that some ppl put it out there like they actually do these things, which to me are a little far fetched even for a hard core SL junkie to do.

the thought is one thing, yeah we all think of the silly things that we could or would like to carry from SL to RL

I guess one could call it a pet peeve

these threads come up about once a week on average, the same people post the same things, some funny some make one go "huh?"

I guess I am just waiting for some new material LOL


When I saw the balloons, I didn't actually think they were poseballs. They were just pink and blue balloons. It reminded me of poseballs, though. Sorry for the confusion.

NOW that one would be nice, or use it to get out of a phone call?

heh

I always said I would love to be able to run into ppl in a crowded supermarket and blame it on lag.... ahhh would be nice to be able to use SL excuses in RL at times

Of course you're right. It is all for a goof. I don't think of SL in RL when I'm not logged in for the most part.

I spend on average 12 hours a day logged into SL, so yes I think of SL a lot

but strangely enough other than seeing a building and thinking... they used too many prims, or seeing furniture and wondering what the least amount of prims I could use to make that would be... I do not think of SL much outside of SL.

mainly building designs textures and such

Godwin's Law - to close the thread? :-

You see a bunch of Nazis saluting and look to see what they are all editing/selecting.


...and see them promptly get arrested in Germany. ;) We're not only sensitive about it here, it's plain forbidden. I sometimes get the urge seeing people with outstretched arms on SL to yell "Sieg Heil" tho, just out of spite. Yes, I know it's a bad thing to do but it seriously looks like it...
Raynor and I had the poseball thing at Ikea, when he saw a tiny pink cushion on a sofa and yelled POSEBALL for everyone to hear...

...and I ALWAYS look for the camera controls on photos, websites...EVERYWHERE. It's quite annoying really...that there are none...

And yes I do prim counts ;)

Edit: Oh and we seriously went to Ikea three weeks ago ONLY to take photos of textures for SL...how sad is THAT?

Someone savagely cuts me off in traffic and flicks a lit cigarette butt out their window...

And I keep right-clicking on my horn, trying to find the Abuse Report option. ;)

I'm very disappointed Mr. Recreant.

If I had a Linden for every woman who has said that to me, I'd live on a yacht - in RL.

It just seemed like if I climbed onto the sales display and started humping in midair that I might be injured or arrested. Possibly both. I make a lot of bad decisions, but that one just seemed like bad policy right from the start.

I would like a linden now, Mr. Recreant. You have satisfied me and made me laugh hysterically out loud.

Well, I aim to please.

Note to self: Your approach has been all wrong all these years. Stop fiddling with them like they're a transistor radio and make them laugh. They apparently find this satisfying.

When you start talking in short, tight, witty retorts ALL THE TIME.

When your hair is messy, you quick look for the "edit > appearance" menu

When you start trying to view the profiles of people you pass on the street.

When you go to a club and realize you actually can't dance without a poseball.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.
