Second Life?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"

Never even heard of it till now. Doesn't sound too appealing.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

It's been in the news for a bit around here as well :lol:

Have to admit I had a peek afterwards, but nothing to do on there, not when you've got Heartland indeed ;D

(and my computer is probably way too slow anyway :lol:)

I searched to see if crimes can be committed in this thing & it looks like they can! One woman called the (real) police as a user swindled her for $190 on Second Life. I've read articles saying people have been bullied & forced to become sex slaves in it too. Bizarre but funny.

Not sure if you can actually kill people on it however. :wink:

I occassionally dabble in it, more of a psychological experiment really..

Great thing is, you can be whatever you want and people have literally NO idea what you are actually like.. proper bo headf*ck.. proper.. :wink:
I give you the finger but you want the whole hand...
