SL/Welfare Island

The long queues at Welfare Island
The lines were being supervised by a Frog whose title was "Anti-racist Soldier."
In the crowd was an ex-king.
A 30-year-old hippie.
A furry who couldn't follow directions.
A woman with no moles on her back.
The line stretched longer and longer.
One of the guys in back was an upside-down angel!
/
"I thought computers were supposed to speed up the world," I shouted.
/
Nothing.
/
The line kept getting longer and longer. "I thought computers were supposed to speed up the internet" I shouted.
Still nothing.
"Thank god for anti-idle hud" someone said.
/
"No cheating in welfare line!" I screamed.

Taveon, the Naked Angel

For no obvious reason, in the middle of a crowd, a naked angel appeared.

Brick Cioc: the winged naked man strikes again
Soy: why am i watching some naked angel

Soy: some naked male angel
Taveon shouts: Anybody have a job for a poor guy
Brick: yes Taveon
Crispy: What's the fun of being an angel if you don't even get the naughty bits?
Soy: i have a job that requires you to be a naked male angel wearing black wings
Soy: are you qualified?
Taveon: yes
Brick Cioc: yes
Soy: as an angel you must swear to never get a penis attachment
Crispy: That's sad.

Taveon shouts: any jobs for a naked dark angel
Soy: lol
Soy: by dark you mean tan, angel?
Taveon: no dark as in evil

SL/Elvis has left entered the building

Inside Graceland (with Yetrates). This was Elvis's own private nightclub within Graceland. Kinda neat. I'm very glad I got to see it.




It seems that Elvis himself might even show up on certain nights.(!)
/
Graceland has authentic Elvis music streams 24/7.
/
An ideal place for your every Elvis need.

Then Elvis really did show up!!
/
/
/
/
To prove I really did see Him, you can see through my spectacles
that I am telling the truth.
/
For fifteen minutes, we were treated to Elvis hit after Elvis hit. Then the curtain shut (while the song was playing).
I used the zoom key to see if Elvis was up to any hanky panky backstage. Nope, he was still singing as if nothing had happened...

/
Here is a shot of Elvis singing to the back of the curtain.
Here is a shot of him leaving backstage to come to the front of the curtain.
/
Just in time for the crucial song...
"Are you lonesome tonight?"
Surprisingly, the middle of the song was a giggle fit.
I began to wonder if Elvis was going to finish it!
/
"Crap, I'm going to frisk him if he ever finishes this song," I vowed.
/
Then he segued right into next song without missing a beat. "A Woman Without Love." Flawless.
Before I knew it, another jumpsuit showed up. It became a showdown of 'elvis' proportions. At one point the newer Elvis actually challenged the first Elvis on stage.
By the time the first one got to the bridge of "Keeping You is My Goal," though, the second Elvis had left the building.

/
Which left just one--the original one, the better one on stage.
Until a white jumpsuited one showed up, like an angel.

SL/Still buzzing

These sexy billboards would be much better served, I think, if the lady broke away from the billboard and approached you and made her pitch directly to you (but only after you showed enough interest. For example, after three minutes of standing in front of the sign she suddenly ambled towards you).

This would be a shocking, but ultimately rewarding, experience--and it would go a long way towards getting virtual salespeople accepted as contributing members of society.

Overheard
"I'm here to see some skin...I don't care what kind of skin it is, as long as someone calls it skin."

"The crash made me re-log into the same club that I had just walked out on."

♫ ♫ Song snippets for Middle-of-Roaders:
I wrote out something I had regrets about and had to Backspace it away

The size of the angel's wings is not important.

Ultimate name for today:
Trip Messenger

Photographs of Me at the Club Playing Trivia at the Bar with the Happy Face at the other end.












This poor guy doesn't know what to think.










The Case of the Mysterious Floating Reefer.

It magically stays in air as long as Luch focuses on it.








Where did it go?








Luch is staring at it like it's on the cover of the album Presence.





The giant doobie ended up as a cane for a very attractive disabled cannabis angel who fluttered into view. Miracle of miracles!

Second Life/L Word World

It was strange seeing the militia show up in the The L Word (Showtime) area.

The dude almost hit an angel!

Is it any wonder some women prefer the company of women?

The tank shortly before it disintegrated.

Standing in front of The L Word Club...a club I'm not sure I'm permitted entry.

I spend time outside with a girl.

Elsewhere...

Talking with someone named Boz. Boz said this house belongs to his real life neighbor and he uses it as a crashpad whenever he's in SL.
!!!!
Nearby is a gigantic cube covered with a galaxy of stars and inside is a discotheque. The cube can be transported from place to place. It is a mobile disco, if you like. "If you hire the DJ he brings the disco."

This is a house I floated over to because it was releasing hearts into the atmosphere.

I asked aloud who was responsible, and someone inside yelled he was pumping out all the hearts.

He said he was showing the world his love for his sweetheart.

I imagine Valentine's Day will be something else in SL.
