Wow, uh...wow.

If it's possible, I say buy up all the land around it instead and erect phantom walls with pretty butterflies on it.

That could only be improved by 'Buy' being spelled 'Bye'.

Or if it's a guy. Then with his choice of colours. It could be 'Bi'

It just hit me that the paisley covering reminded me of the developing countermeasure in Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep....

I am *so* not looking forward to seeing that when I log later today....

Still not a bad showing for a sleepyhead.

Though I would argue that the creator probably chose what he or she felt were the most obnoxious colors, and therefore didn't own a shower squeegee in that color themselves.

you could always erect something larger and uglier on your plot next to it so that no one wants to buy their land and they have to carry the tier FOREVER. but that would be evil.

And it turns out that this is a *new* build, complementing a porn tower, right across from it. One of my neighbors is completely bracketed by this #$@#$%

STEP 1:

Make a bigger tower

STEP 2:

CODE


integer gFoo=0;

default
{
    state_entry(){
        llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
    }
    timer()
    {
        if (gFoo) {llSetLinkColor(LINK_SET, <1,0.5,0>,ALL_SIDES);gFoo=0;}
        else {llSetLinkColor(LINK_SET,  <0,1,0>,ALL_SIDES);gFoo=1;}
        
    }
}

You forgot to put in an llTargetOmega! And llSetPos in the timer to move it up and down. And also, it should spit out big particles that say "I WILL LIVE FOREVER".

Bah, it was a quick job.

But you have given me some good ideas for my RE-ELECT BUSH sign.

End the Tyranny of the two term limit! Relect Bush, the best president since... um.. Clinton.
