just ignore and let this one die

LOL!!! That's the first time I have heard Sarah Palin referred to as a "dude" but... these days... you never can tell.

Hi Marianne!

You seen my skater girl look? It's interesting that I use my ordinary shape, not a shape made to look younger. Amazing what no boob shading and a band-aid on the nose can do.

The skateboard has static poses, since I'm just playing with different looks, not planning to have an avatar that look 14 year old.

Brenda, i see your nips. and, what are your plans for that really large rope?

Oh I dunno...I'm open to suggestions

Brenda had a evil looking Howdy Doody forum avatar before she changed it to Sarah.

my "topical" joke of the day... stolen from the interwebs -

When Farrah Fawcett died, she went up to heaven where she was met at the pearly gates by St. Peter. Saint Peter said, "Because you lived such a beautiful, giving, caring life, God will give you one wish before entering heaven."

Farah replied, "I'd like all the children of the world to be safe, secure, and look after so that they can grow up healthly and wise."

So God killed Michael Jackson.

{A delicate hand with long fingernails reaches from the shadows, followed by a second one as they stretch along the floor. Light glints off two almost blue, feline eyes as they blink once, slowly, adjusting to the light. A female face emerges surrounded by dark red hair and feline ears. She stretches her back languidly, her white shift in stark contrast to her tanned skin. She flicks her dark red tail quickly to the left, then right.}

Meow.

{Her bare feet pad softly across the floor. The tinkling sound of her anklet lingers a moment, but she is gone.}

hmmm...good question, Kaimi, lol.

Well, already lost my chance. If I'd done it at 11pm last night, I could have. But now the hotels are not available. I even had my credit card ready also. heh

A friend of a friend has invited you to a party. It is supposed to be a big celebration. At the party you learn that the reason for the big production is that a small not for profit organization has developed the perfect robotic system. It can read a book to learn job tasks, including how to repair other robots and design new ones as needed. All the robots will be linked together and the decisions of what to make next or what job is most important to be completed is done collectively. The organization predicts that in 10 years there will be no need for human workers at all. Food, shelter, transportation, energy production and distribution of all these and more will be completely automated by the robotic systems. Humans will be free to explore their creative, artistic and athletic goals without the need for anything.

Would this be utopia or dystopia? And would there be any caveats you would demand to be put in place; something like humans should be allowed to work if they wanted?


Actually, I have often wondered what the transition phase of something like this would be. I would think panic and chaos as the need for a monetary system erodes away and the roles of politics and power lose their teeth.


Wow, that got long for a conversational question. Too much for a Monday?

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

The transition period would be horrible. Most people do need to have useful things to do. But could I have one of those robots please? I would love to have one take care of my house an finances while I enjoy being creative and lazy.

Me too.

Is boob shading (or its lack) in the top itself?

Star Trek jumped the shark when Data got that emotion chip.

Kaimi, it would be an honor to the nth degree to show you around my City.
