I wish. the bottle came with 20 pills, one-time use only, like the shrooms you can find around. They were transfer, so I shared them with friends, you know, for a bonding experience. I bet you can find some in the Crack Den though. Drug dealers running around all over that place.

A gentleman would never offer a lady money for her panties. He'd buy her dinner. And flowers. And jewelry. And perhaps a car. Maybe even a house.



Works for me.

Wow, this thread is still unlocked after my good night's rest?! Amazing! I do hope this person keeps posting new threads, because it sure takes care of that nasty weekend blah.

The "congratulations on your gay thread" post, with the pic of David Hasselhoff and Gary Coleman doing the thumbs up thing.. that sent me over the top, and resulted in a gathering in my office. The rest of the day was pretty much ruined at that point.

...and contrary to popular belief, Germans in general DO NOT like "The Hoff". That picture had me in stitches for ten minutes....

...am still wondering if Resident Answers indeed means "residents answer stuff no one asked, or stuff for other people, or LL"

Linden is on a bad trip and it's going to get a whole lot worse in the next few years. Under scrutiny by several law agencies and a continued effort by those that see the issues will pose an ever increasing pressure on Linden to "get with the program."


Sorry...I think you've misinterpretting what Mitch was saying.

I certainly don't see Gloom and Doom for Second Life and whatever
it will morph into over the next 50 to 100 years.

Mitch Kapor is a visionary and that's why he's hanging at Linden Lab.

Wow, great link to a great article!

Mitch had some pretty good commentary there.

* * * * *

Sidenote: I'm a, as they call it, "land baron" I suppose, and presumably AR's would be coming to me at some point I guess.

Well, here's the interesting thing about that. They already do. People drop notecards to me wanting me to do stuff about things they want all the time. I'm sure it's the same for anyone with a sim.

I rarely act on much. Say person A and person B have a dispute between each other. I have a key test. I ask myself: "Is it any of my ******* business?" Usually (almost without fail) the answer is no.


I think you'll find there are a lot of sim owners that are absolutely allergic to getting involved in inworld drama.

Unlike most folks, we have to log in with regularity to take care of business. Even if we might ever want to log out for three months, we really can't. We can't ditch an avatar easily at all to start over, not without losing all we've worked for.

Imagine *having* to log into SL. Forever. Your inworld experience will be as light and fun, or as much of a gothic nightmare as you allow it to be.

Actually, "Resident Answers" means answers to your intelligent questions. Lacking intelligent questions, it becomes "Resident Smartass Answers and Replies" ;)

/me nods, and slips into a serious post.

This is the biggest difference between SL and most other 'games'. This is a past-time that you can treat as a business, with the same responsibilities and needs of a business.

I do a modest amount of sales with my stores, and while I do try to keep them marketed, keep making fresh items, and all that, I try to make sure it does not overtake my love of the world or its people. The store, it's the gravy, not the meat.

Other friends of mine have different ways of doing it, including those that have a hard time *not* working on their in-world business. For them, SL isn't much more than work, like any other work.

Many have found a good balance, though it's tough to do so.

My my my my forum makes me so bored
Makes me say, oh my lord
What is this garbage here?
Wanna cover my eyes and plug my ears
It sucks, and that's no lie
It's about as much fun as watching paint dry
Lowers my IQ one notch
And that's the reason why, uh, I can't watch

I told you homeboy... I can't watch this
Yeah, nothin' but trash and you know...
I can't watch this
Poke out my eyes, man... I can't watch this
Yo, gimme that mouse control... I can't watch this
Oughta go home and sit on their thumbs
That's word because you know... I can't watch this
I can't watch this
Break it down!

with apologies to:
Weird Al Gor--umm Yankovich & MC Hammer :p
