Ordinal Malaprop’s explosive text engine

Ordinal Malaprop helps SL letter writers put pen to paper
Do Linden Lab five hour betaverse grid lockouts inspire you to write – but then do your lost purchases and inventory leave you at a loss for words? The Herald suggests you make use of Ordinal Malaprop’s newest invention — the Random Linden Lab Flame Generator. The Generator is described in Ms. Malaprop’s groundbreaking scholarly work “Automated Tool of some Convenience for Certain Folk” and a working model now exists. With this new invention, nearly anyone can flay Linden Lab – for all the good it does. Here is a sample:

Well, SCREW YOU! Is Second Life EVER up?
I work hard all week and the last thing I want when I get home is unverifieds coming in – particularly when I’m paying for the privilege! We should get compensation because of missing textures! I put my kids through college by selling stolen textures! Seems like SL is never up at all these days!

“It’s like you’re pulling them directly out of RT (you aren’t, are you?)” laughed Brent Linden. Then he sobered and wondered what next weekend’s LL skeleton staff will do when faced with a metaverse population armed with automated explosive flaming text. Last weekend, Unverified Linden had two days off, so nobody was dealing with the unanswered question backlog in the Linden Answers forum, and nowthings are getting ugly on the blog. But technology solves all social and organizational problems, so once a Linden automated answer generator is ready things will get better. Meanwhile, to help maintain the balance of power, the Herald is including more samples of the flaming exploding text and suggested responses for the Lindens.

What happened to that 11 million dollars – did you spend it all on my ass in clubs?
I bet I’ll get banned for saying this…. I demand compensation! You need to sack all your staff and get new ones, because they suck! I’m head of the Virtual Worlds Faculty at MIT and if I performed like this I’d be out of work in no time! Some of us have businesses to run! I signed up so that I could sell my ass in clubs – and I can’t! Thanks a bunch LL! I pay hundreds of REAL dollars a year and all I get is laggy casinos!
I don’t have an answer on this — I’ll ask further to see what we can find out for you. Have you looked in the Blog? — Unverified Linden

I signed up so that I could sell rips of famous artworks – and I can’t! SL is a rip-off! I work hard all week and the last thing I want when I get home is corporate sims – particularly when I’m paying for the privilege! This is the worst level of service I have ever seen. Seems like SL is never up at all these days! Is this all some trick to get rid of us so you can sell SL to Microsoft?
I used to sell rips of famous artwork to Bill Gates too. Let’s keep them out of the yard sales though, OK? — Unverified Linden

What happened to that 11 million dollars – did you spend it all on furry genitals? I PAY for this you know! Thanks a bunch LL! I bet I’ll get banned for saying this…. This is the worst level of service I have ever seen. But no, all the customers are being forgotten just so Philip can get to one million signups.
I’m excited about getting 1 million alts this year, too! — Unverified Linden

Pathetic!
What are you THINKING? I’m an economist specialising in virtual currencies and if I did this in my job I’d be fired! Once I finish selling ageplay avs, I’m going to tier down. I work hard all week and the last thing I want when I get home is the repetition of tired old memes – particularly when I’m paying for the privilege! As an internet programmer I can safely say that this is NOT ACCEPTABLE! Stop adding new features and FIX THE BUGS! Once again, LL shafts the hard-working customer.
Exactly! If you purchase anything else, please make sure you rez the object from inventory before logging — Unverified. Linden

I work hard all week and the last thing I want when I get home is Prokofy Neva – particularly when I’m paying for the privilege! I’m a professional programmer and if I performed like this I’d be out of work in no time! But no, all the customers are being forgotten just so Philip can get to one million signups. I pay hundreds of REAL dollars a year and all I get is the fact that cageguns exist! I’ve had enough! I suppose clubs full of blingtards will never be fixed, because it’s not fun enough for you to deal with! How can you update something only to break it more? I put my kids through college by selling inflatable penises!
Where do you sell those inflatable penises again? Do you have a furry model? We might accidentally put it in everyone’s inventory — Unverified Linden
