Picture of The Day: Normal People What?

 

 Taken at Club Squeaks. Charlee Harmony was sporting this shirt. For those with trouble seeing it, the shirt says "Normal people scare me."

 

So in Second Life, what does count as normal?

Reader Submitted Picture: "You Are About To Exceed ..."

 

 

 From Zada Bury, a shirt with captions that reflect how she feels on days when there's larger numbers of difficult people. 

Cartoon of The Day: Colorful Shirt

 

 

 Taken at the Bellisseria Fairgrounds. Rainbow shirts are sometimes worn by younger residents. Older ones, not so much. We can sometimes think of reasons other than "Pride Month" for them.

Reader Submitted Picture: "Don't Pinch Me!"

 

 

 From Zada Bury. On St. Patrick's Day, some feel those not wearing green, you get to pinch them for not celebrating the holiday. While Zada's shirt does have a little green in it, she's making double sure nobody pinches.

 

Cartoon of The Day: Memory Issues

 

 

 Got this shirt from my SL wife Charlee as a joke. But I do have to agree, my memory isn't quite what it used to be.

 Taken at Wedcot. At least the kid's being honest.

Cartoon of The Day: Doe-Eyed

 

 

 Taken at the Happy Vixen. Looks like this lady deer is subtly telling the guys she's of a naughty nature. But if that really is a message for Saint Nick, there's a reason that expression came to be.

Cartoon of The Day: Shirt Fail Message

 

 

 Taken at Club Squeaks. Being a virtual world, computer humor isn't usually far away in Second Life. In this case, on a guy's shirt.

Cartoon of the Day: Pregnant Pause

 From American Cancer Society 2. Years ago, a lady friend of mine had a "pregnant belly" attachment. She wasn't out to get an SL baby, but was using it just to keep from being pestered from guys asking for sex. Needless to say, seeing this shirt, I was thinking of my friend and what she would use it for.

Cartoon of the Day: Third Knock From The Sun

Taken at the Happy Vixen. For those who don't know, the shirt is about a reoccurring gag from the show "Third Rock From the Sun," in which one of the characters, Sheldon, has a number of quirks. Among them, knocking on the door of his lady friend Penny three times, then calling her name. Some computer geeks liked it. Others disliked it as they saw it as mocking them. Guess to avoid trouble, this guy  knocks on copper, three times.

By Bixyl Shuftan

Correction:  Turns out the name of the show was "Big Bang Theory." Oh well, I never did watch either one.

Cartoon of the Day

Taken at Montecito Bay. Exactly how this wolf ended up with the shirt, who knows. But one can imagine a few possibilities.

Cartoon of the Day

Taken at Club Zero Gravity. Looks like Snowbuns (Skylark Lefavre) is feeling a bit of a "wild hare."

Looking Back: John McCain's Campaign in Second Life

Some sad news. John McCain, the Vietnam War veteran turned political leader, passed away yesterday on Saturday August 25. He had been suffering from cancer, and had just announced he was no longer continuing his treatment. He was 81.

Besides serving as US Senator for Arizona for six terms, he ran for President twice. In 2008, he succeeded in winning the nomination of the Republican Party for the Presidential Election that year. And like many other things in real life, the election would be reflected inworld with various offices of a number of candidates inworld during the primaries, such as Hillary Clinton's. Although a few politicians such as Newt Gingrich had made appearances in Second Life earlier, these efforts were not the work of the candidates, but their supporters. For supporters of McCain inworld, they would meet at the "Straight Talk Cafe," named for the "Straight Talk Express," an expression of McCain's meaning he would do his best to be straightforward with the voters. The Cafe also handed out McCain t-shirts, such as the one pictured here.

I would write about the election a few times for Second Life Newspaper, such as the watching the Presidential Debates from the Straight Talk Cafe, as well as Cafe Wellstone and Capitol Hill. And occasionally these locations would be mentioned in real life media, such as my local newspaper. I would also write about Election Night on November 4. But due to the stock market crash a few months earlier and resulting economic worries, McCain's campaign would lose much of it's steam, and Obama would win the election. After Second Life Newspaper closed, most of the election articles would vanish from the Internet. What I have left is the Election Night 2008 article, and the t-shirt.

In his concession speech on Election Night 2008, McCain called on Americans to come together. Maybe it's something we need to do a little more often.

From Jessicabelle Dayafter, "I saw someone wearing this shirt awhile back, and had to have it, as how fitting for it to be worn on a skunk. (big grin) I am pleased with the pics for a super quicky shoot."

Scenes From the SL14B

Taken at the SL14B Auditorium. Xiola Linden was almost certainly just wearing the shirt for chuckles, though considering her Linden status, it does leave a few things to the imagination, as well as did the t-shirt she wore a few days later.
