The Daily Kanga

This was e-mailed to me by G, which of course gave me quite the chuckle.

Though, not sure why the DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) spends so much money to keep up the cost of their presence in Second Life.

Anyway... it's a hoot really. During a time like this.. this 'downturn', and we have a government department just 'rezzing' their life away!
Wasteful. It's only us common folk that should waste our lives on the Internet(s).:-p

The following is how bad SL has gotten in regards to finding decent conversation.:
Not the actual conversation with C here, that shows just how rare the wit is to be experienced in SL.
It's just funny in general and actually shows how 'bad' the collective American intelligence as become:


2:34] C : I think you actually might be too smart for some of these people :P
[2:34] Asadora Summers: maybe I am too smart for my own good
[2:34] C : Hehe
[2:35] Asadora Summers: wonder if I 'dumb' myself down, if that would change things?
[2:35] C : You shouldn't have to adjust for others.
[2:35] Asadora Summers: I should have paid more attention to Bush's speeches
[2:35] C : At least, not in a negative way ;P
[2:35] C : Hahaha, seriously.
[2:35] C : I never did, maybe that's why I'm still able to use my brain.
[2:35] C : Noboy in the US can understand Obama's speeches, thanks to Bush ;P
[2:36] Asadora Summers: yes, that is prolly why you are the smartest of your age group
[2:36] Asadora Summers: hahahahahaahahahah
[2:36] Asadora Summers snorts
[2:36] Asadora Summers: oh shit
[2:36] C : I'd be there translating what he says to a group of adults. It's sad.
[2:36] C : Haha.
[2:36] Asadora Summers: I would love that on a t-shirt
[2:36] C : That would be a hot-seller, haha.
[2:36] Asadora Summers: 'Can't understand Obama? Thank Bush. No he didn't!
[2:37] C : Haha!
[2:37] Asadora Summers: hahahahaha
[2:37] Asadora Summers: get it
[2:37] Asadora Summers: the 'yes we can'
[2:37] Asadora Summers: that obama used for his slogan
[2:37] Asadora Summers: ahahah
[2:37] C : Yeah haha
[2:37] Asadora Summers: yes we can -- no he didn't
[2:37] Asadora Summers: fuck me running, it's like why can't i have a male twin of myself
[2:37] C : Haha!
[2:37] Asadora Summers: that is so blogworthy
[2:37] C : That really is :P

Valsharen is a dark realm mind based roleplay, where I was asked to 'go wild' with the surface. As I am a race leader for the wild creatures there and so.. yes.. I did 'go wild'.
It took me two days to landscape and move things around and it was well worth it and so much fun!
It was the first time that I ever landscaped an rp sim and I have to say, the experience will stay with me for a while. Everyone is pleased and in awe of the changes and that for me, is payment enough.

Ok.. this is taking things a bit too far:

Woman Divorces Over Virtual Lover

Amy Taylor, 28, cited unreasonable behaviour in the court papers, describing how their three-year marriage came to an end when she twice walked in on her husband pretending to have sex in an online game.

Her estranged husband is now engaged to one of the women he had an 'affair' with on Second Life - even though they have never actually met in real life.

Amy told Sky News Online how she thought she had found the love of her life when she met David Pollard in an internet chatroom in May 2003.

They swapped photos online, and after six months of emails and phone calls, she moved from London into his seaside flat in Cornwall.

The couple spent hours having fun together in Second Life - her avatar, or alter ego, in the 3D virtual world was Laura Skye, and his Dave Barmy.

But her dreams were shattered three months later when she went for an afternoon nap and woke to find the jobless 40-year-old having sex with an escort girl in the game.

"I went mad - I was so hurt. I just couldn't believe what he'd done," Amy said.

"I looked at the computer screen and could see his character having sex with a female character. It's cheating as far as I'm concerned.

"But he didn't see it as a problem, and couldn't see why I was so upset. He said I was just making a big fuss, and tried to make out it was my fault for not giving him enough attention."

She added: "We then made it up and he promised he would never do anything to hurt me again, and would never cheat on me again."

The couple got hitched at a registry office in St Austell in July 2005 - and even marked the occasion by holding a virtual wedding in Second Life.

They moved to a flat in Newquay, and carried on their virtual lives in the online world, but Amy knew something was wrong.

"I still had my suspicions, but couldn't my finger on it," she said. "He never did anything in real life, but I had my suspicions about what he was doing in Second Life."

And then the bombshell came in April this year, when she found him in a compromising position with his avatar.

"I caught him cuddling a woman on a sofa in the game. It looked really affectionate," she said. "He turned off the computer monitor, and I turned it back on and demanded to look at his chat history.

"But he turned off the computer so the history was all deleted - and I ended up going off to his Mum and Dad's in floods of tears."

She added: "He confessed he'd been talking to this woman player in America for one or two weeks, and said our marriage was over and he didn't love me anymore, and we should never have got married."

The next day Amy went to a solicitor to file for a divorce, which is due to be finalised next week.

"The solicitor wasn't at all surprised - she said it was her second divorce case involving Second Life that week," she added.

Amy says she was down in the dumps for a while - but now has a new man in her life, who she met while playing the internet fantasy role-playing game World Of Warcraft.
