Many moons ago, I received a forum and game suspension for having made forum reference to the "billing squirrel" which was poorly stolen from a P.J. O'Rourke essay which used the metaphor "two children and a squirrel" as being the total staff of the Federal Savings and Loan Oversight Board. The reason was "abusive toward the staff" which I found sort of amusing as I was totally unaware that there were any squirrels on the staff. Apparently, they take small carnivores pretty seriously. Don't even get me started on hippopotamuses... Squirrels on Staff? Heck lets call Greenpeace. Animal Abuse.  |

Hmmm, maybe they need to recruit a few "Asset Elephants" to remember what is in everyone's inventory.... Max |

If this is a supposed joke by a Linden, it's nice to know they have so much free time now what with the grid running stellar and all, that they can post silly things like that...oh wait
It's always a good idea to make a joke out of something that should be taken seriously, like the police blotter.  This is why I don't bother reporting anyone anymore. _____________________

Maybe it's just something I smoked recently, but the words "phone weasel" conjure up the image of somebody holding a furry creature to her ear, which is alternately squeaking into her ear while she is talking into ... well, enough of that.

The police blotter and abuse report system are all just one big joke to me anyway... And what in red hell is a phone weasel anyway? Is it related to the banana phone?

Warning - do NOT say 'Phone W...." three times I would have replied earlier; however, I was suspended for taking the W word in vain earlier . Clearly, the staffers at LL have a great love for furry mammals and we need to respect that. Perhaps they are secretly affiliated with PETA. I may consider changing my avatar to a weasel so that I may be taken more seriously when I report abuse. Wouldn't the SL world be a more pleasant place with small woodland creatures trotting around in it? _____________________

Well, it's a cute joke (whatever the joke is), but one they would be better off keeping to themselves. It's not appropriate to put things like that on the police blotter.

To the tune of If you're happy and you know it
If you ever talk to Lindens on the phone You can scream and swear and shout and have a moan You can curse them with the measles But don't ever say "phone weasels"* Or you'll find you're on suspension all alone *No phone weasels were harmed in the penning of this ditty. I have the greatest respect and admiration for phone weasels |

It's not like saying Phone Weasels on the forum is going to get you in trouble... I mean it's not like the Forum Ferrets check on it anyways!
