Pila Mulligan: we tried singing happy birthday into your dreamspace
stevenaia Michinaga: in text???
Pila Mulligan: no
Pema Pera: ah!
Pema Pera: hehehe
Pila Mulligan: in whatever manner we each chose to try, we did it during the 90 second pause
Pema Pera: well, I must have been too tired to notice, I'm afraid . . . .
stevenaia Michinaga: trying to think if I ever dreamed in words or reading
Pila Mulligan: as I feared
Storm Nordwind: Perhaps simply too tired to remember
Pema Pera: but perhaps it is stored somewhere out there, and will be delivered to me through a time-worm-hole?
Pila Mulligan: yes, lost and foudn singing
Pema Pera: :-)
stevenaia Michinaga: don;t you have to find a worm hole first before you can talk into it?
Pema Pera: there must be novels about a place for lost+found dreams, I bet
Pema Pera: perhaps it will find you, Steve
stevenaia Michinaga: I'll let you know (if I can)
Pema Pera: about your iPhone, Steve
Pema Pera: what application is it that allows you to chat into SL?
Pema Pera: Hi Adams!

Pema Pera: hahaha
Pema Pera: sure
Pema Pera: "serious games"

Storm Nordwind: That was a sea-side wave crash in the pool

stevenaia Michinaga: I assume there's an easy way to get all these great pics out of SL?
stevenaia Michinaga: thanks you for your pic contributions
Prospero Frobozz: stevenaia : actually, the only one I know of is to show it and then take a screen shot
Adams Rubble: Hello Twi :)
Prospero Frobozz: And.... if the picture isn't square, it's hard to get the aspect ratio right.... SL resizes things to powers-of-2 and doesn't remember the original aspect ratio

Solobill Laville: Good idea, Steve...
Pema Pera: instead of Burning Man we have Burning Pond . . .
Pema Pera: onigokko
Prospero Frobozz: If we're out of diapers, that's bad... it'll be quite a mess. We'll have to get more.

Prospero Frobozz: New PaB methodology : 90 seconds of onigokko
Pema Pera shudders at the thought
Solobill Laville: Stop, drop, and and run around in circles!
stevenaia Michinaga: sounds more lke a weight-loss program
aurel Miles: all that did for me was knock my skirt off and give me a tail
