  1. I'm pretending I am retired.  Wake up when the sun tells me it's time to get up.  Walk around most of the day half dressed.  Most of the time completely unkempt, only worrying about my hair if I am on a cam call and planning to skip shaving until I go back into the office.  Eat whatever seems easy and tasty at odd times.  Exercise a little (and infrequently).  Screw around on SL, games, binge watch Star Trek (on the one with Scott Bakula now).  Drink what and when I want (I had my first cocktail yesterday about 1:15 PM,. right after my last conference call).  If it's decent outside, putter in the yard.  And of course time with my fiance online off and on all day.

    In short, not really doing anything different from a normal long weekend, except work interruptions are more regular.

    The most peculiar thing just happened. I was relaxing - cognac in hand - by the fire in my study when a circle of light appeared on the ceiling. Within the circle I recognised the shadow of a full Windsor knot, but the reason for its sudden arrival perplexed me until my footman leaned over, cleared his throat discreetly, and murmured, "It is the Skell Signal, sir."

    Ah! A call to arms, then!

    Might I offer my services to this noble cause?

    This is all so true. And men have been so very ill-served by creators!

    But that is a function, to a great degree also of how many men don't care about what they wear, isn't it? Some of the most stylish people I know in SL are men . . . but there is a host of others who, asked to purchase formal wear, will come home with something like this:

    This person should be shot, for the good of all humanity, forthwith.  Repeatedly if needs be.

    I think we might also do with an automated Forum censoring algorithm with just a tiny bit more discernment and class.  The current one deleted one of Scylla's absolutely lovely and very upscale words when she wrote "cafe-*****-art gallery".  The word hiding under the asterisks is spelled "see, you, em" and is a perfectly correct Latin term meaning "with".

    Scylla, dear, this is just one example of the trials you are forced to endure, and I for one sympathize!  I shall post your Four Initiatives in the rooftop lounge of my all-penthouse high rise, and commission my architect to begin work at once on our cafe/gallery.

    Considering what goes on in SL, one would think the last thing LL would ban would be, errr, seamen...

  5. I don't think this one is out there yet, and since we'll all be dining in more (something I detest unless Cari is cooking for me).  Feel free to do pics, sorry, I'm awful with cameras.

    Tonight we have Hungarian sausage (made by my local grocer, very zesty!) on rotini with Calibrian pepper sauce.  Alas, I only permit myself one bottle of wine per week, and that's for steak night.

    Ah, Tolya dear!  How nice of you to volunteer to be our ManTAN Outfit tester!  Please just nip behind this screen and take off those...things.  The maid will be by shortly to toss you in some lovely things to try on.

    The US still has a plague of insufferable "prepper's" shouting "I told you so... You didn't listen...HAHAHAHAHA!" to come yet!  

    My neighbor is a prepper.  Has his own well, lots of guns and ammo, claims a year supply of food, and several solar generators and a satellite phone.

    Darn shame his well is so easy to foul with arsenic...

    At any rate, his taste in emergency rations isn't too bad.

    After careful consideration, we have decided that it is no longer in the best interest of everyone involved to proceed with 2020.

    While we recognize that a lot of hard work has gone into preparing for 2020, if we're honest it has turned into a bit of a sh*tshow and we feel it is best to just call it off.

    We understand that some of you were looking forward to seeing what cruel and peculiar clustercluck of a disaster that 2020 would throw up next but on balance we believe it is probably best not to find out.

    We will instead provide ticket-holders with a full refund or an exchange, and start afresh with 2021 on Monday.

    Our plan is to deliver a more enjoyable year, similar say to 2016, which everyone thought was the absolute worst year of all time, but in retrospect was a fecking walk in the park.

    See you next year.

    But .... November elections! We need to chose someone who will replace that guy.

    And don't forget about the zero year curse.  Whoever is elected in 2020 will die (or come close) while in office.  So it has to be either someone you don't like or someone who can take a bullet.

     

    Bush Jr. broke the curse.  Technically Reagan broke it first, so enjoy 4 more years of

    In a ironic twist, I've found that most trolls are far more mature than most residents are. They just do these things to get a reaction out of these specific people and it works and these people then wonder why: "Why am I being trolled!?" etc etc. Shouldn't it be obvious? These man-children give them ammo for it.

    Ahem, not that this describes me on the Forum at all, noooooo, not a bit!  Some times, and some people, it's just too darned fun to push their buttons.

    Doesn't look like a "spare him" facial expression to me!  😐

    Commodus was an excellent CEO. Like any half decent CEO, he had no qualms how many people were thrown to the lions to further his goals!

    Well, Commodus was strangled in his bath after poisoning him didn't work; he didn't die from a wound in the arena like in the movie, so you can't put much stock in his expression, either.

    Lest we veer off into the political weeds, I'm returning firmly to the subject of getting Ebbe a makeover.  A CEO ought to dress the part, even in San Francisco.

    Sorry, Putin is wayyyyy too manly to be an American CEO.  Lousy picture of him, though.  Here's a better one.

  15. Let's see, so far on this page we have what looks like a noob version of a Star Fleet cadet, the Monopoly man, the guy from that one meme, Ben Kingsley's little brother, three hipsters who spend way too much time trimming their silly beards and would have been beaten up daily in my high school, the abominable Rosedale avatar (which, actually looks a lot like the very first Tolya in body and hair, but wearing a lame t-shirt instead of my fashionable suits), and a chick putting on makeup.  Sorry, none of them look like a real CEO (although, granted, at least none of them look as stupid as Duckerberg, who looks like Data's long lost cousin). 

    Here, try some REAL bada$$ CEO's (OK one is a general), and make avatars of them:

    /me laughs diabolically as the peasants break out the pitchforks and light their silly torches, and slams the castle portcullis down on them, going back to his wine and stogie, like real CEOs did back in the day.
