Are walking draglines not one of the coolest machines ever invented?
Oh, yes indeed. I wonder if anyone's built on in SL.

                        I have loose moral fiber for breakfast every morning.  Keeps me regular.  I'm at the Hangout as much as possible, too.  I don't think I qualify as a boytoy though.  Maybe if nobody else is there and I'm the only option, I might do in a pinch.

Just when no one is around    ![]() Stripper poles are about 8X as much fun when there ARE other people around. If we're going to get boytoys, we ought to do one of two things... - Make the applicants use the pole as part of the interview process, or - Take pity on the lads and put on a little show for them. Or maybe both. Friday at the Hangout is sounding better all the time. Pity I have to be in RL instead. ![]() _____________________

                        I would fall down at your feet in worshipful admiration if you built a dragline in SL. I thought a dragline was something like, "Hey there, sailor. Interested in a girl with some...extra hidden assets?" _____________________

Interested in a girl with some...extra hidden assets?" ![]() To give you a sense of scale, look at the main boom (that diagonal thing made out of steel beams). Follow it down to the big white part. See the little white section that sticks out? It's got windows and a door, and a stairway leading up to it? That's the main control room, and it's the size of my bedroom. (BTW, how do I post this as an image?) _____________________

Just when no one is around    ![]() Graph, you remind me of the story of two bulls. The old bull, me, and the young bull, you. They are standing on a hill, looking down on a field of females. The young bull says "Lets run down the hill and pleasure one of those females." The old bull just shakes his head and says " I am just gonna walk down and pleasure them all." Graph, one day you might take my crown, but for now the old bull still rules. Yeah I've heard that one before...& I used to work on a cattle ranch when I was younger, now I am older and wiser, my avi is very much young, sexy, and virile! (Hey Ladies... I am walking down the hill)...and this is eh-em just for dancing as per what Brann said, not a pantie raid! _____________________

Regarding Flickr: can images be sent from in-world like with Snapzilla or do they have to be saved to my HD and then uploaded?  |

Interesting. Well of course, the word "women" probably isnt even in the dictonary yet. We are still trying to catch up slowly. And oh my, I do have two sl boy-toys and no they are not mechanical ones. "winks at them" ![]() _____________________

                        How about some men, can we get some men to come by?  Ones that wouldn't have "boytoy" be the first thing you would think of when you see then?
