Funny thing happened on the way to the forum...

So what are some funny things, or conversations, that have happened lately in SL?

Please change any relevant names (including your own probably!)

I got this note card and the names have been deleted. The actions in parentheses were obviously added by Homeowner. I just thought this was funny and it's generic and anonymous.

I didn't want to reopen the 'privacy' thread so I will post it here. Also would love to read some other funny things that people have seen or heard lately in SL.

Thanks.

Setting: Homeowner is relaxing watching Tv, sees the top of a head bopping by across the porch. Sees face pressed against the window. Chuckles. Goes outside via back door by which time the visitor is jumping off the roof and lands at the homeowner's feet.

[14:06] Newbie: how do i get money
[14:06] Homeowner: let's sit, do you want to sit?

[14:06] Homeowner: or i can show you around SL a bit if you want
[14:06] Homeowner: houses are free, it is land that costs
[14:06] Newbie: um ok hold on let me see you home
[14:07] Newbie: ok

[14:07] Homeowner: not much to see
(Newbie runs around upstairs, then jumps down to the living room)
[14:07] Newbie: im done
(Homeowner decides to shut the place from future peep-ins and lead the 'visitor' out. begins by shutting the windows.)
[14:07] Homeowner: see i can shut the windows too
[14:07] Newbie: cool
[14:07] Homeowner: did u see the porch

[14:07] Newbie: can you show me around

[14:09] Homeowner: ?
[14:09] Newbie: bye thanks for having me
[14:09] Newbie: it was a pleshure
(Newbie quickly flies off)
[14:09] Homeowner: ok
(Homeowner shuts doors and goes back inside, turns the Tv on again. And resolves to add a group script to all doors. )

Now I want to see that movie again. ^_^

What odds that the Newbie came into SL believing that the point of it is similar to Facebook and Twitter, where you are judged by the number of Friends or Followers you manage to accumulate!?!?

At least he/she didn't leave their detachable junk on your porch. they seem to drop those all the time.

great story, thanks for sharing! I wish I had one to contribute, but I never see anything funny or interesting in my second life. Only random debauchery and a few really cool and friendly strangers.

Oh, and alot of gray people.

Got a fresh one. Lol

(Must be the day for this...?)

Once again names changed and totally generic.

(Homeowner is trying to reposition a little shack they accidentally removed. Sees 'newbie' avatar fly around and land on the stoop, bald and barefoot, in just the painted-on gamer girl outfit. Homeowner is lying inside the shack, on the sofa and says)

[15:59] Homeowner: hi
(Newbie seems startled)
[15:59] Newbie: helo?
(Homeowner walks outside on the landing where the newbie is.)
[16:00] Newbie: nice place here
(Homeowner suppresses urge to giggle in RL, since it is a shack.)
[16:00] Homeowner: thank you
[16:00] Newbie: better than i got
(Homeowner walks inside. Newbie follows.)
[16:00] Homeowner: aw

[16:01] Newbie: o

[16:02] Homeowner: well to build a skirt you use prims

[16:03] Homeowner: where i got my dress is called slink. but there isn't a landmark in there. i can give you landmarks to places with free clothes and hair and things if u like
[16:03] Homeowner: to make a prim skirt you need a skirt maker
[16:03] Newbie: well where do i get one?
[16:04] Newbie: on the internet?

[16:05] Newbie: does this land have the thing were after 3 mins of not editing somthing it returns

[16:06] Newbie: bye
(Newbie quickly teleports out.)

(Homeowner shakes head, feeling a bit dizzy. "Now where was I..."

LOL!

I'm beginning to think that "Homeowner" is a candidate for the Nicest Person in SL award! (Certainly for 'most patient'. ^_^)

Mr Newbie could of course be Mr Alt of Mr Oldie mucking about.

The saga of our poor beleaguered homeowner(s) continues.

This time, a visit from a certain caped crusader. What was he crusading for? Let's see.

--

Setting: Homeowner sitting by the (SL) laptop as RL counterpart sorts inventory preparing to log off for the evening. Lost in concentration. Once finished, Homeowner SL-side rises and prepares to sign off. But - it's a bit dark in here, but - what's that hovering near the ceiling?

(Homeowner blinks. "Is that...?"

Yes, it is.

(Homeowner thinks, "well you ARE a bat" but refrains)

[22:48] Batman: nobody likes me
[22:49] Homeowner: lots of places in SL for that
[22:49] Homeowner: well most people like privacy in their home, if they are changing clothes for instance
[22:49] Homeowner: then look up and there's a guy on their ceiling. lol
[22:49] Batman: well im sorry
[22:49] Homeowner: k
[22:49] Batman: ill just go on
[22:49] Homeowner: ok ty
(Batman rises through the ceiling *!* and flies upward before landing on the patio.)

LOL, maybe he was the SL version of this:

LMAO Clarissa, Now see if he was Superman, He would just have to use his eyes and see through your walls lol. But yeah i think you might give him some thoughts about being the invisible man lol.

Thanks for sharing that.

You have to wonder how the news of the Copybot is circulating. Is it one-on-one conversations in which someone says 'ya gotta come to SL, you can get rich'? Or maybe there is some web or print article out there that is giving these people the idea of coming here?

Not the nicest of recruiting tools, certainly.

Yes or that it is being billed as an okay way to "make a shop."

Blatant theft.

P.S. I've seen funny/strange encounter stories posted in other threads...come on everyone. Post some more in here. pleaaaase.

Mine aren't nearly as long or as amusing as yours. Take the one from couple days ago:

Treasure logs on and rezzes in living room: Rezz Rezz
One day old noob appears on radar 10m away (right outside front door)

Treasure: Hello (name removed)
Noob: F*ck you, b*atch, I am just looking around.
Treasure: Sorry, don't get paid enough to get cussed out on log-in, in my house on my land....Mute, Eject, Ban, ......goodbye......

See, mine are no fun.

I've just got some guy in a mask, cape and 2 foot long erect penis who keeps hiding behind the trees and hills near my land... O.o

Lately he's been hanging out on one of the for sale plots a few plots down every morning with one or two women using whips on his rear end...

pix please! kthnxbai!

I think U are an alt of Pep

Hmm... I think my funniest was when I was a newer shop owner, but old enough to actually know how to handle the land tools.

Three day old noob comes into my shop. He's dressed in a completely system tux, with the "boy next door" of old avatar. On his back is what might have been a super soaker, for all I know, care or it's effectiveness. This was right after they gave us the ability to turn off push, thus rending many of the weapons of that day useless.. because most business had it off and had autoreturn on.

Noob: U the owner?
Me: Yes, I run this shop.
noob: Hiring bodyguard? Protect shop.
Me: Nope, not hiring.
Me: Land tools are more than enough for this size land. (Hey, it was 512m!)
noob: Give me money then or I shoot.

I look at the weapon, snort and go about my business. He fires. And fires.. and fires.. Finally, I finish enough of what I am doing to hit the eject/ban, sending him next door. He tries to come back.

In IM noob: Hey, why my bullets no work? Why I can't enter?
In IM me: *snerk* Land tools.. it's why I don't NEED a bodyguard.


Another is in one of the Linden owned sandboxes... I can't remember which one. I was working on my building skills and built myself a pretty cool throne for a beginner. Having learned from past experience, I had already rezzed myself a prim and was sitting on it, so the griefer that did eventually come up couldn't move me.

Remember I said I was building a throne? I wasn't done with it, and hadn't attached the seat cushion to the throne itself and the griefer decided a throne was a perfect place to sit and shoot at people. He'd already been AR'd multiple times, so it was only a matter of time before his removal.

Well, as the crowd gathered around, I was still building.. but I couldn't attach the cushion because the twat was still sitting on it. So I politely asked him to move. He laughed at me, then shouted insults to the crowd. I got fed up, deciding that a few minutes of work going out the window was fine. I clicked "Take" on the cushion, and well, he and I both learned a very valuable lesson. I learned that "take" is fun on griefers and he learned to fly without flight. Bonus was that he screamed, "WTF?!" just as he got the ban hammer from the sandbox.

Haha! These stories are hilarious.

Keep 'em coming. Pleaaaase?

Love it.
