Lagmire or, later, SLagmire. When you get so lagged you cannot move, as if stuck in a swamp.

shebanging (verb): Accessing SL through a dial-up connection (named for early SL resident Shebang Sunshine)


These are all great but had to comment on this one - Shebang lives next door to me. Not met her yet but was awestruck to have such a venerable neighbour!

I have a scripted object I use for "stop all animations" that sometimes comes in handy.

Maybe someone needs to make a scripted object for "stop all butt attachments"


Of course, then instead of having discarded boxes littering the SL streets, we'll have hair and shoes laying around.

I like it :) I have no problem with the term "Glandbaron". And I'm proud that I only build glandware that I personally wanted to use and couldn't find anywhere for sale in the desired quality.
