Shooting the Breeze

Following my escapade to the Burn2 yesterday, I felt an immediate need for some peace and quiet at home, preferably in pleasant company but alone would have been fine too.

I was happy when I saw my buddy Ziggy inworld and sent him an Instant Message, I was even happier when he invited himself over for a visit. We started by taking a walk around the home sim and checking the state of things but after our walk we ended up on the porch of the barn and engaging in some idle conversation about this and that and everything inbetween. Comparing stories and experiences is a good way to get to know one and other better.

After a while the youngsters dropped by to say good night before they logged off. Ars, and people in first life too, have always accused me of having limited powers of observation. If I go to a party with friends, be it in SecondLife or first life, we have never been to the same party. Others see and notice things that I haven't payed any attention to at all.

I could of course admit to the fact, but instead I defend myself with the excuse that my powers are not limited, merely selective. I tell them that I see and notice what interests me at that point in time, to notice and memorize more would probably overload my circuits.

Well, yesterday evening my attention was suddenly drawn to a tattoo over one of my son in-law Janttu´s eyebrows. I promise you I have absolutely never seen it before. The boys maintained that he had had that tattoo "for ages" and even that my son Guyke has one too under his eye (covered by the sun glasses at this occasion they told me). I still cannot understand how I have failed to notice any of those tattoos.

When the boys had left for bed, we were joined by our friend Butch for a while, but by then I had gotten too tired to take more pictures. My curfew for SecondLife came much too soon after his arrival but I had to log off to get some sleep before work. The other two party animals went on to a party instead!

The Laird Is Banned From Burn2

The Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm and prince of Cascade Falls, today took it upon himself to make a manifestation for the artists rights to freely express their opinions at Burn2.

Suddenly and without even a word of warning - which is usually common practise everywhere else in SecondLife - the laird found himself at home. He had been banned from Burn2 and could no longer return.

This is outrageous! The organizers are dictatorial and totally undemocratic.

Crazy

"As of October 9, 2012, Tim Tebow now owns the trademark for “Tebowing”. Tebow has stated that he did not acquire the trademark for financial gain, and being the good Christian that he is, that is probably true. Tebow’s goal is “to just control how it’s used, make sure it’s used in the right way.”

Apparently the trademark is not solely on the term to Tebow, but on the pose as well. You don’t have to call it “Tebowing” to be subject to Tim’s approval. Drop to one knee with your fist to your forehead, and if Tebow does not approve of the context, you will pay."

Sigh!!! First life is going crazy, perhaps I should join SecondLife permanently...

No Seduction & No Demonstration

This evening I logged into SecondLife with two options in mind, either to let myself be seduced by Ziggy Starsmith or to join Kandinsky Beaumont and Apmel Goosson in a demonstration at Burn against their oppressive rules and their terrible treatment of Kandinsky..

Well, as it turned out none of the three were inworld so I had to make alternative plans. 

I decided to go to my friends Vampi Twine-DeSantis-McMillan-McMillan´s (honorary) and my Sergeant-at Arms sirhc DeSantis-McMillan´s club OrmDricka instead. The theme was black!

The Magic Garden was filled with good friends and I also hauled my brother Martial Eisenhart over with his new perky mesh-ass.

We had a blast with a lot of fun 70´s music (which was better than I imagined it could be)! That goes to show, you can have a good time even if things don´t work out as you planned.

Poll Shows: 61 % Love Linden Lab

The results of the poll concerning how residents feel Linden Lab is running SecondLife on Eddi Haskell´s Second Life (url) are now in.

The poll shows that 61 % of the 67 voters feel that Linden Lab is doing a fairly good to excellent job in running SecondLife. Awesome results!

Breaking News: Ziggy Is Staying

The amazing, wonderful and sexy Ziggy Starsmith today announced on his blog that he is going to stay with us in SecondLife! Ziggy Starsmith On The Edge Of Second Life...; Second Life: The Twinkle Has Returned To My Eyes.... (url)

As the goal has now been reached and we have convinced Ziggy to stay on I am taking down the poll "Should Ziggy Starsmith stay in SecondLife?"

Twenty-three people voted in the poll. Three votes were cast on "No, I am a jealous dickhead and cannot stand the competition." These votes are of course disqualified on the grounds that the voters are self-admitted jealous dickheads whose opinion cannot matter.

All of the remaining twenty votes were for "Hell yes, we need charming and passionate people here!".That means that 100 percent of the voters whose opinion matter voted that Ziggy should stay with us! (Ukrainian rules)

It´s unanimous, Ziggy has to stay with us because we love him, the ranting little bugger!

Size Matters...

Heterosexuals should take special care when spicing things up in the bedroom.

Playing with large objects in unfamiliar orifices can be detrimental if you are careless or do not know what you are doing. ("Don't do this at home, kids!")

FYI! 9 inches equals 22,9 centimeters
