Dumpster

Found some extra time on the backside of my to do list (I like that side) and made a quick freebie; a driveable dumpster. Arduenn Schwartzman was so kind to script it so it throws out garbage bags while you drive.

Available at the usual freebie outlets . Oh and I put a bunch of freebies on Slexchange.com too!

Malls malls malls

I get spammed for opening shops in new malls quite often. Some invitations are not spam, sent by people I know, and who know what I sell, and I appreciate that.

But most are sent by people who have a lot in common with eachother:

For starters, they can't build and they like huge shiny empty blocks. They place some of those in a row, put a rental system in and call it a mall.
They all seem to be suffering from a strange type of the Gilles de la Tourette syndrome too when they write the land descriptions. They ****FREE LINDENS**** have BEST CAMPING IN SL an uncontrollable ///DANCE DANCE DANCE\\\ all caps FREEBIES! tic FREE $$$!!!
And they either can't count or they're massacring their visitors. They always claim to have tens of thousands of visitors but by the time I get there (I usually wait for a week or two before i go there) the number has dropped down to a couple of hundred!!

Amazing.

Filling my neighbour's front lawn

Across the tracks from my main store there's a piece of land owned by one Milk Shu. As far as I can tell Milk hasn't been online for over a year now. I've IMed him (or her), sent notecards, but to no avail. His profile is very minimal; no groups, no picks, no interests, nothing. The only thing in there is a single 't' in his about box. T for Tooter maybe, who knows.
Anyway, he has left his land open to build for everyone, and people have been leaving ugly plywood textured prims there. As you can see on the left in the picture above. So I put in the last 6 prims that were available and wrote him a note that I would cover his land with a build if he didn't respond. It's been a month, and today I built a 6 prim bank there, using some megaprim tricks I learned from Aley Arai.
Harods bank is closed, btw. They moved to Tristan da Cunha. But there's still a huge pile of money in the tower:

Maze: win an avatar

I made a maze on Cookie island. Follow the right path to the exit and write down the letters you passed to make a sentence. Write that on a notecard and send it to me and you get a free avatar. There are several sentences, but only one is the right one, so you may have to try again.
The maze itself has 4 x 15 cubes that temp rez when you get within 10 meters, so you'll see it appear it front of you, and disappear behind you.

Fish!

I was playing around a bit with (sort of) random rotation, and whaddayaknow, next moment I had built a freebie fishtank for the hobo's. With captain Orhalla on the package.
That was the easy part.
Then I wanted to make it full perms. Damn, that's difficult. I had to send it to Pavig three times to check before I got it right (thanks Pavig!). Turns out you have to set each-and-every prim to full perms, as well as the objects in them ánd all the scripts!
Everything full perm by default! To the barricades! Storm Linden Labs!
I bet Ruth looks better with a full perm too.

You can get it at my shops with freebies shortly. For now it's in Pavig's docks at Calleta.
Go get a copy. Just click it and you'll get one.
Click it 30 times and you get thirty; you're all set to make modern art.

New avatar: Zechckenyaii the Muscleman

I started building a bodybuilder long ago, but i made a fresh start yesterday. Zechckenyaii developed these muscles lifting books of Kant and Hegel (which he still does when he types), and he looks very good using the standard /muscle gesture. He has a tattoo of course.

I used Eloh Eliot's texture as a base for the face. That skin is available as a full perms freebie, which apparently is a big thing in the world of fashionistas. Pretty common for us hobos though:)

Available at my shops for L$ 250

DX4 grand turismo car

Made a european muscle car yesterday. It has that quality design that was around in the early eighties, when everything was big and square and ugly. This one has a mix of east german and french car design, and it has been left out in the yard for quite a while. But don't worry, I cleaned the windows a little so you can see where you're going.
Available at my shops, for L$ 50.

That's the new swim suit I made btw.

dancing cops

As you can see on their blog, Hansode Miasma and his girlfriend Mina Jun (who makes awesome skins and clothes) have a lot of fun with my police pig avatar. Now they've done a nice video too:



Hansode said they would change the music, but I really like it as it is :)

Yes! Oh my! Yeah!

A letter

Dear Mr. Tooter,

Please be nicer to your brother. Don't make him eat aluminum foil or sleep out in the rain. And please do not beat him. It all seems to be affecting his memory very badly.

I did buy Brunnhide, as was so kindly suggested by him, all those wonderful features will surely come in handy. But he continued to beg after the purchase, forgetting that I did indeed buy just mins. before. Your continued ill treatment seems to be destroying his brain. It must be the tazers.

Thank you,
Firery Broom (sic)


Dear Firery Broome,

thank you for your concern about my brother. Don't worry. He is in good hands. You probably don't know that my brother will some day be the sole heir of the Claxton fortune. However, my brother also suffers from anxieties and together with our medical staff I am working hard to cure him so that he may enjoy his future wealth in good health.

My brother is an agliophobe, which we try to cure with a 'hands on' approach, which indeed does include tazering him from time to time.
But the main focus of our therapy is to cure him of his chrometophobia, which we do by making him sell avatars, over and over again. I hope you understand that leaving a fortune in the hands of a chrometophobe is dangerous and I assure you that everything we do to him is done with the best intentions.

We hope you will continue to support our therapy by buying an avatar from him every now and then. Kicking him in the keister while you do this also helps a lot.

thank you,

Tooter Claxton

I'm in the movies! Mask

I'm a bit late to blog about it (as usual) but my picture is in this awesome morph movie of Robbie Dingo:



Be sure to click on the YooToob logo and watch Robbie's other video's! Watch the worlds is a masterpiece where he rebuilds van Gogh's painting in Second Life. (Too bad that cheesy Don McLean song keeps playing... hurray for volume control!)
