Montana Man and the Importance of Clothing....or not...

You know... there is another alternative for MM.

He could always go furry and be a manly fur!

/me nods enthusiastically

There are numerous manly appendage options for furs. /me coughs

Montana... hmmm... maybe a wolf or a coyote? Or a buffalo? Or maybe he could help with the program to re-introduce the black-footed ferret? Got any prarie-dog recipes Scylla?

Argent - I'm going to send you those instructions.

Montana Man is frustrated and frazzled. He has his new "color"....but the instructions say that he needs to place the thing on the ground to work on it. He hasn't found the appropriate place to do so....not to mention he's a bit squeamish about that.

Women....please cut the guys some slack on this, in the future. It's not easy! I'm going to do my part, by complimenting men on the beach from now on....no matter what it looks like. Show some support. Build their confidence.

If you don't have land with enough free prims to do it, find a quiet sandbox and work on it there. Rez a platform a few hundred meters up and go to work, no big deal.

I can set my land to allow for it, but was thinking about the Noobs, and all the hassles they might have to go through on this. Poor guys. But it explains why I found one of those on my welcome mat at the front entrance of the store, one day. That had me baffled for a long time. Now I understand.

That guy was a wee bit embarassed when I shipped it back to him.

I understand completely and must, embarassingly, regale you with my own horror, whereupon I lost my virginity to a scripted book. I placed my newly purchased "thing" on the ground to apply the appropriate texture. As I was fairly new, I didn't think to adjust its own script. And I had no idea that scripted items could indeed converse with one another.

I had to watch in horror as my genitals responded to an overzealous book, culminating in its own climax all over my bedroom floor.

I had hoped for a better virginity losing experience than being raped by a book, but I suppose it makes for an entertaining tale.

If I recall this was Xcite...... they have a few chopping blocks *stumps*, there for You to rez them onto. Just be sure and not to toss it inside of the wall so it doesn't breed with all of the wall studs in there.

LOL!!!

There is a weird postmodernist story in this, somewhere . . .

I'm working on it.

LMAO! (sorry)

It was very Manly of you, to share your experience. Perhaps if I relay the experience to Montana Man, it will make him feel better.

One could analyze the scenario further knowing that the book in question was a reference book on poisons, which, as an apothecary (with a twist), I have deep affections for. Moreover, said book was given to me by the lovely Lady I was courting at the time (and am now in partnership with). "Yes, dearest, you know that book you made for me... well... Suffice to say you will no longer be my first."

While I do not ordinarily believe in kissing and telling, I somehow doubt script/book rape really qualifies.

/me pauses for a moment. It was one of those very surreal moments in SL where I wished I had a video camera of that moment because it was the damndest thing ever. I should have saved the chat log, because that in itself was hilarious.

/me sighs and shakes his head

/me chuckles Well, once you've been raped by a book script there's little else that can mortify.

Please do. I hope it helps. As noted previously in your thread, however, Xcite now kindly offers "work tables" for upgrades and... working on one's privates.

I wish MM all the best, of course. Tell him not to despair.

I truly wish you had saved pics or a chat log too. It definitely falls into the "SL is stranger than fiction" category. Even if I had the imagination to make such a narrative up, I'd never have the courage and self-confidence to try to pass it off on readers!

There's a nice novel by Jeanette Winterson -- The Stone Gods -- featuring the bodiless robotic head of a beautiful android woman, and there is the recurring motif of a book there too, as I seem to recall . . . I'm just trying to fit it all together . . .

So where's that Prairie Dog Cordon Bleu recipe?

Prairie Dog Stew

Ingredients:
1 prairie dog, quartered
1 cup diced onion
2 large tomatoes (from your garden) or 1 can of tomatoes
Assorted fresh ,or canned veggies

Preparation:
Sprinkle seasoned salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (optional) liberally on the meat. Pour some cooking oil into a large pot (dutch oven). Sauté the meat with the onions until well browned. Drain the excess oil, add about 2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Cut up the tomatoes and add. If you use canned tomatoes add them now. Turn down the heat, and let slow cook for at least an hour. Important: older prairie dogs may require cooking longer than an hour. Check periodically for tenderness. If you don't you will have a hard time chewing the meat. After the meat is tender, add the veggies, carrots, potatoes, banana pepper, what ever you like. Cook until the veggies are done. An option you can use is, cook up your favorite pasta and serve over the pasta. (eliminate the potatoes). That's it, nice and simple
