just ignore and let this one die

I once stopped at a Denny's off the highway in North Carolina when I was a RL kid. The waitress we had seemed almost offended that I wanted hash browns and not grits.

So tell me how this is different from being a vigilante. How would you feel if the casino owners turned up at the hangout and started throwing ARs around for nudity and lewd behaviour.

Oh, dear God....

/me runs from the room, hand over her mouth

I know it looks quite gross but it's delish!

You'll have to blindfold me to get me to eat that.

Hmmmm, this might have possibilities...

BLAH!!!!!

WHERE in God's Frickin' Name can someone rez a Boat or a sub!!!!!!!

Whats the point of buying such things IF there's no where to launch?????

You'd probably recognise it as a variation of bechamel sauce, Claire . . .

Pep ( . . . like we pour over cauliflower)

You ought to try it at least twice.

If you haven't had a good Southern breakfast, you really are missing something.

But god almighty, don't put sugar on your grits! If you do, you'll have to go back and do it all over again.

I was at the Hangout the other day chatting to Kelli when the sim just went down with no notice at all - the first time it has ever happened to me there.

Pep (but Cato may have a point that maybe someone should take up for a Friday question: When is it vigilanteism to AR, and when is it a reasonable response to anti-social behaviour?)

PS Strictly, vigilantes take the law into their own hands; whistle-blowers would be a better description.

I'm not sure I want to wait til tomorrow, so I'll go ahead and answer this question now:

I would say the point is when whatever the AR'able behavior in question is has begun disrupting, or immediately threatens to disrupt, my user experience rather than simply offending my sensibilities.

In the casino example, I have nothing against gambling and suchlike and so forth; but the place's activities had lagged the sim to unusability. The place was up at maybe 350m, and when we decided to AR it, it took my about 4 minutes to fly up to it. Say what you want about occasional or even expected lag, but that's way too much for a mainland sim.

I would say that, being a child avatar, I have more of an incentive to AR things like sexual ageplay when I see them; because peoples' reactions to seeing that sort of thing happening tend to threaten me directly and cause damage to my reputation whether I ever met the "caught" participants or not. Witness Ciera's meltdown of a couple of days ago and her nonsensical "crusade" to destroy avatar-childhood.

Have you ever been given some really good news that took a big weight off your mind, only to find something worse to weigh it back down again?
I've just gone from being really happy and excited, to pretty depressed within about 10 minutes.

I'm never opening the post again.


/me goes to try and distract herself with cleaning.

Smith and I did some photos for the No H8 campaign. We did individual shots too, which are on my flickr site, but I think this one came out best. I submitted them to the No H8 On SL group, but they aren't approved yet.

OK OK OK... (*mutters under breath about trying to keep everyone healthy*)



I'd never heard of chicken-fried bacon, but I found some!

and do NOT put mustard on your mustard greens. *bleah* who does that? sheesh

This came out much darker than I first thought. I turned the facelight off and used the room lighting because I thought it looked warm and blended with me and the background. It would be trivial to do a little postwork and brighten it up but I have been doing shots straight from SL for so long I feel like it is my thing now.

Oh I love mayo on my fries. It tends to be a bit of a French Canadian thing here along with poutine (fries, cheese curds and gravy - I know it looks a bit gross but it's good)



I really miss the late night gourmet fry place I used to go to after the bar which had the best fries done properly where they are double fried. They were served in a paper cone and you had a huge selection of flavoured homemade mayos like roasted garlic or fresh ground peppercorns. NOM NOM

Cody's Bachelor's Noodles Recipe #8

1 bag egg noodles, wide
1/2 pound of sliced bacon
1 pint cottage cheese

Set water to boil; add egg noodles and boil to desired tenderness. Slightly al dente is best in my opinion, but it works either way and the choice is yours. While noodles boil, slice bacon into small slivers, about a quarter to a half an inch wide, and fry until crispy. Remove noodles from heat; drain, do not rinse. Return to pot; add bacon and mix thoroughly. Serve hot, top with 3 tablespoons of chilled cottage cheese.

I'm thinking a special outfit to wear while exploring the grid might be a good idea.

One option might be the stereotypical tourist. Along the lines of camera around the neck, loud hawaiian shirt, baggy short pants, white sneakers and black socks. Although I'm not sure I can bring myself to wear black socks with short pants, even in SL.

So, I'm looking for ideas. What else does the "goofy tourist guy" outfit need to make it complete?

An older, white-haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening with a beautiful young gal at his side.

He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his new girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring. The old man said, 'No, I'd like to see something more special.'

At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over.. 'Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000' the jeweler said.

The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, 'We'll take it.'

The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, 'by check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon,' he said.

Monday morning, the jeweler phoned the old man.

'There's no money in that account.'

'I know,' said the old man, 'But let me tell you about my weekend!'

Just an idle intellectual exercise here...Would it possibly work to complain about the extreme lag without mentioning the casino and letting LL figure it out for themselves?
