SL/more Smoke

I kept spinning in circles until it formed a ring of smoke around JT.
"Ewww," said JT. "Contact high."
He didn't believe in smoke.
"C'mon," I said. "Do your long hair proud. Take a huff."
He said he was waiting for Iron Maiden to get back together.
"That's the sole reason for your long hair?" I asked him.
"Yes."
I heard a rumor that the drummer of Iron Maiden was found in Second Life quite by accident by another band mate, and they are planning to reunite, but only in Second Life.
"I heard that too," he said.
I am not too familiar with Iron Maiden, I must admit.

Patric: What is your favorite song by iron maiden?

Jeremy Fitzgerald: run to the hills

Patric: you have to put quotes around it, as i'm unfamiliar with their material

johnthomas Jun: power slave and die with your boots on

Patric: are you talking to me?

Jeremy Fitzgerald: lol

SL/Plans

I want to create a "Chessboard Queen" avatar and say this about her:
"She was Queen of the chessboard--moving like a knight. She was superhuman."

I also want to create a mouth made of cotton for an upcoming stoner art exhibit.

Germans occupy the beach until roughly 2pm SLT, when the Americans take over

A German woman had some cross words for the fat American when their times overlapped. But it ended peacefully.

SL/Lunar @ Clothing Optional Beach

The sun was more intense with WindLight installed.
"My doctor says no more than 2 hours in Second Life at a time."
Lots of people were at the beach. There were all kinds of tattoos, including some exotic ones.
"My take-out carton has that exact same character!"
Nude people were everywhere.
"I may not have the biggest penis here, but I guarantee I have the biggest butt."
He tried hitting on one woman. Finally she went (Away). He kept pursuing her until she went (go Away).
Everyone was in shape, except him. "My body is the equivalent of two or three people," he conceded. "Needless to say, I am being pressured for a premium account."
There were the usual warning signs all over the place: "Warning: Don't Forget To Put Clothes On Before Teleporting."

SL/Experimenting with smoke

If you smoke a joint in Second Life the smoke will follow you around. It won't last very long, but you can definitely tell where you've been.
It also applies to vehicles and animals. Riding in a bus I saw my smoke contrails as we sped down the road. I ran up and down the aisle, trying to affect the physics, but the smoke behaved as it should: It drifted up or down, depending on which direction I ran, and which direction the bus was heading (but it especially favored going up).
Riding an elephant provided similar results.
I wondered if this applied to sudden movements too, like sitting in a chair located about 20 meters away. My experiments showed a trace amount of smoke remained after a sudden movement like sitting in a far chair.
I wondered it if it applied to teleporting short distances too.
I got no trace of pot smoke after teleporting from point A to B. No matter how short the distance, the same results. That sucks, knowing you can't appreciate a good smoke in the quantum state.

Second Life Spawns New Word

A petition was made to the Oxford Dictionary for the addition of a word found in nite clubs all over Second Life: "Byeall"

He had to rely on the kindness of strangers since it was a very popular camping bench and he didn't have a head.

Hadda Doobie: someone help me to my seat

ZenWarrior Fuosing: help?! thanks for the laugh! lol

Sinrod Skinstad: what seat?

[the bench was full]

Hadda Doobie: someone needs to figure out how to stretch that bench out another 2-3 feet and they'll be rich

Sinrod Skinstad: lol

[one guy claimed that bots were taking up precious room on benches]

ZenWarrior Fuosing: at least one bot was using an invisible shield which covered half the bench, that's why it wasn't working when I clicked it

Hadda Doobie: is that why i sat on him?

--

Hadda Doobie: i met a bot on here who said he was halfway to becoming human

Sinrod Skinstad: good for him

Hadda Doobie: he said he was going to become more "human" than we are

Sinrod Skinstad: lol

Hadda Doobie: is that possible?

SL/Double-takes

Items for sale in Second Life can range from the ridiculous to the sublime. Some blur these distinctions.

Bonus: Here's a description of an actual place.

SL/Headless/Crashing Formal, then crashing

It was a formal event. He didn't have a head, so he arrived with his fly open. The men looked resplendent in their suits and ties. He didn't have a suit because he couldn't wear a tie. The man on the stairs was security, and was trying to prevent him from entering, but he was a very slow typer, so brushing past him wasn't a problem.
Halfway up the steps the sim crashed, so the guests' reactions couldn't be recorded.
