I'm sure this has been done before many times, but- eh- so what?

What would you do if you were a Linden?

I'd log into the forums under an alt and post all kinds of ridiculous assertions and wait until the thread got superheated and then lock it *JUST* before the climax. I call it "Blue-flame-balling." :D

What would you do?

As Nas once said

"If I ruled the world...

The way to be, paradise like relaxin black, latino and anglo-saxon
Armani exchange the reins
Cash, Lost Tribe of Shabazz, free at last
Brand new whips to crash then we laugh in the iller path
The Villa house is for the crew, how we do
Trees for breakfast, dime sexes and Benz stretches
So many years of depression make me vision
The better livin, type of place to raise kids in
Open they eyes to the lies history's told foul
But I'm as wise as the old owl, plus the Gold Child
Seeing things like I was controlling, click rollin
Trickin six digits on kicks and still holdin
Trips to Paris, I civilized every savage
Gimme one shot I turn trife life to lavish
Political prisonner set free, stress free
No work release purple M3's and jet skis
Feel the wind breeze in West Indies
I make Coretta Scott-King mayor the cities and reverse themes to Willies
It sounds foul but every girl I meet to go downtown"

For 2.1 seconds I wracked my brain to figure out what kitties had to do with planting trees in SL.

They're lyrics. Rap/Hip Hop/Etc.

Unless you just meant you couldn't understand what the song was saying in the first place. In which case, I'm not going to be of any help in that department. Except I *think* I know what that last line about going downtown was referring to. :D

I'd prolly be known as Darthmaulfan64 Linden,

I would find a way to MAX OUT the bling factor then attach it all to a Half-life 2 buggie along with a bling fridge and with my troll underling at hand I would spread the fear of BLING-MAS all around SL, of course I could do that in SL without being a linden but it just wouldn't be as fun, >_>

Merry Blingmas!

Yes Yes, rap lyrics... sorry just trolling because I've wanted to post that on the last 100 "If I was a Linden" Threads...

It's "If I ruled the world" by Nas... a good song, where he talks about all the things he would do if he ruled the world.

It's also posted to counter all of Torley's Wu-Tang references so the world can be right again.

They're lyrics. Rap/Hip Hop/Etc.



I found a translation to english:

[Chorus]
If I were a Linden,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a Linden, man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.

I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen,
Right in the middle of the town.
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below.
There would be one long staircase just going up,
And one even longer coming down,
And one more leading nowhere, just for show.

I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks
For the town to see and hear.
And each loud "cheep" and "swaqwk" and "honk" and "quack"
Would land like a trumpet on the ear,
As if to say "Here lives a Linden, man."

[Chorus]

I see my wife, my Golde, looking like a Linden's wife
With a proper shelf-butt.
Supervising meals to her heart's delight.
I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock.
Oy, what a happy mood she's in.
Screaming at the servers, day and night.

The most feted ones in town would come to fawn on me!
They would ask me to advise them,
Like a Solomon the Wise.
"If you please, Linden Tevye..."
"Pardon me, Linden Tevye..."
Posing problems that would cross your eyes!
And it won't make one bit of difference if i answer right or wrong.
When you're Linden, they think you really know!

If I were a Linden, I'd have the time that I lack
To sit in the sandbox and play.
And maybe have a seat by the welcome area.
And I'd discuss the metaverse with the learned men, several hours every day.
That would be the sweetest thing of all.

[Chorus]

Hahaha!

But, erm, what about the part about going down on a Linden. Or would that be a Linden going down? ;)

I've been in a subjunctive mood all morning, I think its time for an early lunch.

If I had a linden
I'd linden in the morning
I'd linden in the evening ... all over this land,
I'd linden out danger
I'd linden out a warning
I'd linden out love between all of my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.

If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening ... all over this land,
I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between all of my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.

If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening ... all over this world,
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between all of my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.

If I've got a linden
And I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing ... all over this land,
It's a linden of justice
It's a bell of freedom
It's a song about love between all of my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.
