Okay, boys, let's just have a little robot y robot discussion here, okay?
Yeah, you've had your day, exterminate this and exterminate that, but have you really managed to exterminate much besides opportunities to take over the universe?
You guys really, really suck at this business of conquest.
I'm thinking it's that prune-boy Davros.
What you need, hear me out here, is a new leader.
Someone that thinks like you. Knows what you've gone through.
A robot, perhaps?
I wouldn't mind submitting my own grid-conquest credentials if you wanted to review them, perhaps sit down and lay out a 13-step plan for obliterating all organic life on the grid, and so on.
And unlike me, well, you have no covetous streak towards shoe shopping.
Although with all those tits on your shell there, I guess you'll be burning up the registers at Last Call.
But that's besides the point... how about we meet for lunch back at the clocktower at 2PM SLT, go over a few things, compare goals, and perhaps we can come to some kind of arrangement.
Maybe I can get you some better medical... I won't bother with dental, since you don't have teeth, but perhaps extended warranties and on-site service through Dell? Would that make you guys happier?
I thought so.
Okay, well, I gotta go... yeah, yeah... Daphne says there's some great boots for 100L a pair and I just gotta see.]]>

Uh oh. They have cannons!
Lots of maps and historical information inside the Alamo, but...
Why isn't Pee Wee Herman's bicycle buried under it?
Let's check out the State House:
It's mostly mallspace (Sylvester Turner is on sale for 500 lindens), but has an art gallery, too.
Yes, the white suit is partially inspired by Marvin Zindler, who closed down the Chicken Ranch, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, yadda yadda. Felt funny parking the av in the seal here.
I still don't understand how she could kick Claytie's ass but get steamrolled by Shrub.

Heron Island blew up while Tanglewood rolled along.
What I find amusing about this is that Frogg and Jay are in the same room in RL, face-to-face like a musical Bouvard and Pecuchet, but the SL platform fails to the point of one vanishing from view of the other.
It's one of those kinda things that could get you standing on a soap box in Hyde Park raving for at least two ours on the nature of space and time.]]>

Grace's set in the Elf Lands earlier in the day...
So I figured twice in one day would be, like, totally stalker-weird or something, so when Dolmere tossed me a note about this Building Shelter thing at Wingo, I hopped over.
It's a builder contest kinda thing where you have to build using raw prims. No scripts, no textures. You've got 10 minutes to build something based on the topic and then there's 2 minutes of voting by the aghast audience.
Closeup on idiot robot:
Yay.
I don't remember what the topic was for this one, but "a tube full of tennis balls" is a line out of GTA4 and it kinda stuck in my mind. So, I went for broke with it and played it surreal.
Then...
Slight industrial accident. Pass the Bactine, please.
This one was about someone being so lazy, they had a remote to do something. Remote-controlled toilets get them EVERY time, I figure.
I liked this one.
I'm not sure what this one was about, but I wanted to do a concentric sphere radiation kinda thing and the light switch with blood drops followed from that.
I tossed my winning back in the Shelter tipjar along with some extra because they do neat things.
I should wing by there more often.
It's a neat thing they do there, and it's at 6PM Saturdays... same time as Grace, unfortunately, but if you've caught her at Glass Earth and Freudian Slip and other performances during the week, she'll just slash you with a whiskey bottle instead of killing you outright for missing a show, right?
Hurts. So. Good.]]>

The water texture acts as a flowing marble highlight in the interior dome glass.
I may hunt down something more subtle in tone so it doesn't obstruct the night sky as much.
I did a check of the island's prims, and the prims I'm accountable for is a bit over my budget, so I'll be snipping a few things out here and there to get it back under control.
Shouldn't be too hard... a rose here.. a flaming barrel there... the unused elevator platform in the sky...]]>

Rezzable Town Meeting yesterday because there wasn't anything I needed and if anybody needed anything from me, they can always IM me.
Meetings are useless in RL and doubly-useless in SL.
I looked back at the transcript... yeah... interesting... yup... blending between parcels... yadda yadda... lots of fawning... blah blah blah...
I was right. Didn't need to be there. Glad I spend most of yesterday sleeping.
Yeah yeah yeah... would have been nice to be at Torley's office hours or Cybergrrl's Thursday whatever-gathering, but I needed recharge time.
If folks need hashing things out, just fire up a forum discussion thread and let everybody take a punch at the wall at their convenience. Let the thread go for a few days, see what comes out of it, and occasionally step in to wrangle the jokeysmurfs who derail the sucker.
Don't agree with my attitude on this? Fine. Pull the trigger. I can make my pretty elsewhere.]]>
