Cartoon of The Day: Little Dragon

 

 Taken at the Fantasy Faire. One woman had with her a pet dragon, little and cute. But when they're no longer little, not so cute. Some dragons would know this.

Cartoon of The Day: Why The Blocks

 

 Taken at the Winter Burn. Of this couple dancing, the girl was much shorter than the guy, and was wearing wooden blocks under her shoes. 

 

Hopefully it helps with conversations in which they're trying to see each other's viewpoints.

Cartoon of The Day: Big Fox

Taken at the Relay Kickoff. In SL, one can make their avatar more or less as big as one wants. So how would this happen elsewhere? I could think of a few possibilities.

 Taken at the SL20B. Mini Mole may be somewhat small compared to many, but not by everyone.

Interview with Fop (KingForri), Giant of Natoma

 

 So how tall was the tallest avatar you've seen in Second Life? For some residents who haven't been around much, they may not have seen avatars much taller than they. For those who have explored some and been to some notable events, they may have seen an occasional macro that can get to be around fifty feet tall. And then there's the avatar of Fop (KingForri). Encountered at the Natoma sim, he easily stood over the Ivory Tower. Yours truly got in contact, and he had a few things to say. 

 

Read the interview in People. 

 

Reader Submitted: Map Distances

 

Maps of Second Life can be misleading, especially when trying to show the entire world at once. Because of a few outlying regions (or agglomerations thereof) that are positioned extremely far from the Grid’s geographic center, Second Life can appear mostly empty despite its enormous size.

 

 Distance can seem less important in a world where teleportation is possible—and often the only way to travel. Still, some trivia: The western- and easternmost Second Life regions are currently about 449 km apart, with roughly 665 km between the regions in the far north and south.

"The Pond" And "The Forgotten"

 

In her exploration of nature places, Gemma Cleanslate came across two more. At the first, "The Pond," the huge scaled-up dimensions of the place reminded her of the classic "Greenies" house, but this was all outdoors. At "The Forgotten," she finds ruins of a castle that had once saw better days, but now slowly being reclaimed by nature.

Cartoon of The Day: Big Snake

 

Taken at the Second Life Book Club. Someone had a huuuuuuge snake avie that was brought out when the show was winding down. Most snakes don't care that much for people, but apparently this one was an exception.

At The Relay Weekend: A Hat For "The Hair"

 

Taken at the Steelhead Salmons camp at the Relay Weekend. Fuzzball Ortega is known for his giant hairpiece. But one wonders, was there a hat big enough for it?

It "hat" to be done.

Giant House at Oxygen

Most longtime residents whom have been around for over a decade remember the "Greenies" sim. The place was only two rooms, but was built at such a huge scale that normal-sized avatars looked mouselike in comparison, with small green aliens around the place in whimsical situations. Sadly in 2010, the sim was closed. Recently, there was a location that gave residents a similar experience, Oxygen owned by Justice Vought at the River sim. Gemma Cleanslate recently went there, and had a look around.

Reader Submitted: "Attack of the Giant Woman" At The SL Newser SL16B Exhibit

From Treminari Huet. King Kong may be enormous. But as part of the scale model of the SL Newser's SL16B Exhibit, not so big compared to a regular avatar. So Treminari decided to try and one-up Kong. And then came a girl on a Colossus avatar who could make the "Fifty Foot Woman" look small.

Watch those flag Ma'am ... okay, you can step on the North Korean and Iranian ones.

Cartoon of the Day

Taken at the Happy Vixen. Where Little Spirit Raccoon and JB Raccoon got these "bodyguards," who knows. But one wonders how they struck a deal.

"Livin' Large" at Club Cutlass

 At Club Cutlass last Saturday, things got a bit on the giant side as DJ Geerkil, whom is in his dragon avatar almost all the time, was joined by a few of his wyrm friends. Plus Becky Shamen switched to a Colossus avatar.

I didn't hear any "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" jokes. Though as she was wearing shorts, none of the guys got a chance to upskirt her.

Cartoon of the Day: Return of the Cowgirl

Remember the cartoon on October 3? I couldn't help but wonder if there was a better punch line than the one I used. After bringing up the picture in Sunweaver chat, Raschid Marenwolf helped me find a better one.

Caption This

Remember the cartoon two days ago? I couldn't help but wonder if I could have made a better punch line. So here's your chance. What lines of dialogue would you use?

Cartoon of the Day

Taken at the Happy Vixen. Yep, that's a fifteen foot anthro bovine avatar on the floor. Hopefully after she recovers from her fall, she won't see her dancing partner like a red cape.

Cartoon of the Day

Taken at the Happy Vixen. Looks like CC found a way to make her bunny avatar really big. Which might make some in fox avatars feel a little uneasy.
