Jimbo Quality – On the SL President Campaign Trail

The candidate is sent to study inflation in Second Life in preparation for the debates

I was upstairs at the Herald Office signing copies of my butt, trying to be as quiet as possible because I was using Tenshi’s markers again and because I’m pretty sure Miss Pixeleen knows that I’m the one who made the mess in the bathroom.

I guess I should explain that I was signing copies of my butt from my legendary run as a Post 6 Girl, because I’m worried about my campaign for President of SL. Other than the lovely Hillary, I haven’t seen any signs of any other candidates, so they’re probably lurking, doing sneaky things that will cost my campaign plenty to out maneuver. I already know Hillary is loaded, I went to her sim and saw her dolphins.

So to raise money, I’m thought I would sell limited edition autographed pictures of my magnificent ass. I was signing them quietly with Tenshi’s awesome markers, maybe humming to myself when I looked up and saw Miss Pixeleen. I nearly crapped my pants.

Then she smiled. I nearly crapped them again.

“Hi Jimbo,” she said. “How’s the campaign going?”

I freaked and blurted it all out, confessing everything I had done. I told her about the mess in the bathroom. I told her about how it was me and not Onder Skall who blew up the Herald news van, and even fessed up that it was me who had maybe set fire to her favorite hair back around Christmas time. Once I was done I sat, cringing, waiting.

She smiled again and shrugged. “I knew all that,” she said. Then she whipped a landmark out of her pocket and handed it to me. “Do you still like camping chairs? I found this place that has good ones that were mostly empty and thought you might like it.”

I was in love.

I took the landmark and went back to signing butt pictures, hoping she’d go away before she remembered how mad she got when that hair went up in flames. Pretty soon she was talking again though, and asking me about my campaign, because she was telling me I needed to learn more about inflation.

“Nah,” I said, “Inflation is measured as the growth of the money supply in an economy, without a commensurate increase in the supply of goods and services.”

She looked at me as if I’d just spun my head all the way around.

I blinked back.

“Really Jimbo, inflation in Second Life is different. Go find out about it.” I could swear she was surpressing a laugh. I shrugged.

“What’s in it for me?”
