I'm having a really hard time deciding what to do tomorrow. I could play Guitar Hero III, play Panzer Tactics DS, or play Tabula Rasa. Or, I could login to Second Life and virtually kick Scott Adams in his virtual nuts:
Tomorrow night, October 30th, at 9 pm EST, you can log on to the virtual world called Second Life (for free), and have your avatar kick my avatar in the nuts. Or punch me, or slap me.
Seriously.
I took digital photos of my head from all angles and had it turned into a 3-D character, called an avatar. I'll be on stage answering questions in a public forum in Second Life tomorrow night. Each person will have a chance to come on stage and literally kick my avatar in the nuts. Or punch me, or slap me, or any combination. Just push a button to select your method of assault. My avatar is programmed to react to the blows but won't fight back.
Your own avatar can be selected from a bunch of options. So you could be, for example, a giant squirrel. And if your spouse asks you why you are late for dinner, just say, "I'm a giant squirrel, and I'm kicking that cartoonist guy in the nuts." For once, it will be true.
Anytime you tell your spouse you are a giant squirrel, you have just kicked your marriage in the nuts. Unless your spouse is also a squirrel (or goes by Squirrel as a nickname) and then you're in the clear.
Also, making a werewolf in City of Villains does not make me a Furry. You hear that, Skwerl?
