Katt Linden: And now, to close the SL5B ceremonies, here's Philip Linden with an important announcement!

<Philip Linden takes the podium>
<Shuffling of papers and throat clearing can be heard over the audio stream.>

Philip Linden: I just saved a bundle on my auto insurance!
<Gecko avatar skitters by.>


For the love of God, could you share that with Philip? I'd love to see him open with that.
Hell, I'll make the gecko.

I have a rock surrounded by fire waiting for you.


Oddly enough, YOUR reservation is for a fire surrounded by rock...
