Who would like a large North American bird (Meleagris gallopavo) that has brownish plumage and a bare wattled head and neck and is widely domesticated for food?*
For those that celebrate Thanksgiving on November 27th (or anyone who just likes turkey!), I am giving away an animated turkey to run around your plot of Second Life land.
Weighing in at 2 prims, this turkey is totally free range and from my observations, doesn’t appear to eat. Speaking of eating, the ol’ bird probably isn’t that edible itself (I find alpha textures kind of stick in my craw), so it’s a good job we don’t need to find sustenance in the virtual world.
Anyways, if you want one of these fine fellas, here is what you do:
- add a comment on this post, saying “Tsunami Rickenbacker, gimme a turkey!” (with or without the quotes is ok),
- make sure you add your full SL name either in the name field or somewhere in the comment field.
- wait to receive said turkey in your Inventory (will send as soon as I can).
And, I’ll make it Transferable so you can always give it away (in case you have an overly “Meleagris gallopavo curious” local fox!)
BTW, if you would rather just buy it, it is available at our Christmas store (forced landing spot, just follow the red arrow) for 50L$.
Til next time… over & out.

Last Friday (31st Oct 2008) saw the final day of the grid wide Ghost Busters hunt organised by Vain, Inc. in Second Life. The hunt (I think it should have been called a haunt, being as it was Halloween), which had started on the 24th, involved over a hundred stores with the majority on completely different sims.
Starting at Vain, we (Jojo and I) picked up our first ghost. The first prize was 8 poses and a couple of landmarks (LM), which caused confusion for many as one was marked; ‘TP to Ghost 108 (can’t find 107)’ and the other LM was what appeared to be a sponsored landmark. So, we like others took the obvious choice and teleported to find Ghost 107, after all no one specifically said the ghosts were to be found in a numerically ascending order. However, ghost 108 lead to 109, which then lead to 110 until we hit ghost 114 and number 114 had a notecard with it saying “This is the End of your Ghost Busting you got all 111[sic]!!!! Woot!!!”. What do you mean “Woot!!!” WOOT? more like WHAT? What the fu…dge happened to the rest?!?
After a few moments double checking that there wasn’t some kind of answer, perhaps another message, a hint as to why we had ended up at the end already, we decided to give it a rest and left the store leaving behind the other slightly bemused hunters. We hadn’t totally lost interest, we had an idea the other LM must be the way to go and an IM from someone we spoke to at the last ghost confirmed it. However, we had seen some excellent sculptie pumpkins en route and wanted to check out the creator’s (vitrail Illios) store, New TRAILS at ZweiteWelt New. Definately most pleased with the purchase. (more…)
Over the last couple of years in Second Life, I have made many things. One thing I hadn’t made before though, is eyes. Not that I need another pair of eyes as, like many residents, I have a ton of them languishing in my Inventory. However, as it is coming up to Halloween I felt like making something for the season and for some reason eyes came to mind.

Creating eyes isn’t overly difficult, aside from the level of detail required in the texture. However it’s a lot easier if someone else makes them and so much easier on the bank account if they are free! And these are free. Just pop on over to Crucial to pick them up. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: when I say free to all.. I mean free to all who aren’t on the ban list (you know who you are)! Mwahahahahaha!!!
