The Rules of the King… Burger King® that is.

Posted in Real Life, The Traveling Burger King® Crown, Uncategorized with tags , , , , on April 30, 2008 by jellybeanmadison

Laws of the Crown

  • Acquire a Burger King® crown from your local Burger King® (don’t have one? You can’t play!)
  • Whoever places the crown on his/her head first, then in a loud voice proclaims, “I am the King!” is from that moment forward, in charge. Rule ends if crown is removed (see Coup d’etat). Crownings can happen anywhere, at anytime.

Advanced Play

  1. There can only be one King.
  2. The King always gets his/her way.
  3. The King must speak with some kind of cool accent.
  4. The King makes all the important decisions governing selection of t.v. channels, movies, radio stations, as well as popular activities like snowboarding, pool hopping, and cow tipping (hahaha! Mooooo! hahahaha!). The King also determines who gets the remote, who rides “shotgun” and, of course, who pays.
  5. Rule ends when crown is removed for more than 3 seconds. (See Three Second Law)
  6. Disagreement with the King results in a “penalty”. This is decided by the King. Common penalties include: forfeiture of fries, surrender of video game controller and banishment from office cubicle.

Three Second Law

The King’s rule ends when crown is removed from their head for any reason, accidental or otherwise. The first person to exclaim, “One… Two… Three… King” may claim the crown.

In the Event of a Tie

If two people crown themselves King simultaneously, the person whose birth date is closet to December 4, 1954 (date of the first Burger King® restaurant opened) is King.

Coup D’etat

If everyone agrees you completely suck as King, your rule may be renounced. This constitutes a Coup d’etat. A new King may be crowned if the group can reach a unanimous decision. If not, the Three Second Law applies.

Kingdom

If you are eating in a Burger King® restaurant, your rules extends all the way to the edge of the parking lot. Off restaurant grounds, your rule extends to a radius of 10 feet around you in any direction.

Warning: The Burger King® crown is made of paper. Your rule may end prematurely if crown is exposed to water and/or flame.

Rosie says, “This is not Burger King® you skank!”

The Blogger Rules of the Traveling Burger King® Crown

Okay so back in the day Aka, Rosie & I had a group in Second Life® called the “Burger King Skanks”. We had gestures, and KO even made us props (BK® bag, Whopper, etc). Rosie came up with an idea of us to play a game called “the Traveling Burger King® Crown” which is just a spin on Aka’s “… says “Hi!” (see Flickr). We take the crown & text pictures to flickr & eachother’s cell phones of places we’ve put the crown around where we live (New York, California & Kansas). We’ll also be keeping track of it with our blogs. So now when you see it on here you won’t be tote confused. You can join in the fun too, just go get your crown, take pics & blog it! C’mon Chestnut, Aly & Cierra, you know you wanna. :p

Jelly on Fash: Renegade & Spring Fever!

Posted in Fashion, SecondLife® with tags , , , , , on April 26, 2008 by jellybeanmadison

You feelin it? Spring fever? It’s warming up here in Kansas. Hawks & I have been spending a lot of time outdoors in between workin & puter timeage. Though I loved the boots and winter fash that was spit out last SL® season, it’s refreshing to feel that we can officially start stripping down layers (Hawks taught me the layer system), inhale fresh breezes & sport skimpier *new* releases in SL®.

It’s no secret that I have always loved Kaejo DaSilva’s (a.k.a KO of Renegade) sense of style and/or that I’ve milked him for all the freebies that I could get. I’m a little bias but with great reason, he’s got skills, yO. Before my puter took a major dump on me two weeks ago, KO passed me a folder of “Racing Sweat Outfits”. Unfortunately I’m super late posting this but kinis are always in season.

Yes, I know I said “Racing Sweats” but in my folder I found tops, kinis, drawstrings & realized he did not pass me the pants! *gasp* No worries! I love love love love love KO’s kinis (reference: [Renegade] New Bikini Bomber Pack from the Verbal Stew archives). He is the one GUY that does them right imho.

Tsk Tsk KO, Mr. Anti-Cleavage shirts, you’re actually letting us show our hinnys in these thongs again! Yay! These kinis actually come in full outfit sets (not shown here) - Kini top, Crop top, Racing thong, Racing sweats, crew socks AND Racing Street shoes. Uh huh! Oh yah! I would tote take a pic of the entire set (since he finally gave me pants) but that would so take away from the gratuitous kini shots. :p Kidding… You can get your asses down to Renegade now & buy these babies up. You know you wanna!

“Your mileage may vary,” “for a limited time only,” and “batteries not included” or some shit. Where is my Fine Print Guy when I need him? Oh yah, I forgot to mention that KO seems to think he’s a blogger now… hah! So feel free to chickity check out his blog as well for new releases and stuff - [Renegade]

Our Story - Part 2: Something more than friends

Posted in SLove & Romance with tags , , , on April 21, 2008 by hawksrock

So as promised, here is the second installment in the how we met and fell in love story as told by the principal players.

HawksRock Gunawan: alrighty then…. let’s commence in 5
HawksRock Gunawan: 4
HawksRock Gunawan: 3
HawksRock Gunawan: 2
HawksRock Gunawan: 1
HawksRock Gunawan: hahaha, I should soooo be a tringo host ya know
JellyBean Madison: omg! you’re a natural!
HawksRock Gunawan: anywho… so is there anything else from the pre-item phase that you want to cover before we move on down the road?
JellyBean Madison: oh we should talk about how no matter which twin you were with, or who I was with - we had almost weekly dance sessions where we’d vent/discuss/bounce stuff of eachother


HawksRock Gunawan: WHAT?!?! is this some sort of revisionist history?
JellyBean Madison: What? we did! Until I got with Truth. He was always kinda bleh about such things
HawksRock Gunawan: I remember us starting with the class verses grunge challenges, which are coming up next, and we did talk constantly, but I don’t remember weekly dancing until we started dating each other.
JellyBean Madison: Well it wasn’t set weekly, but it kinda did happen that way. Think about it
JellyBean Madison: noooooooo
JellyBean Madison: I remmy that I thought I was finding a loophole. Remmy I didn’t fit *your* criteria
HawksRock Gunawan: correct, because you were married in RL at that time. and I wasn’t comfy with it
JellyBean Madison: and you were with the twins when we danced, and you talked about that stupid value system
HawksRock Gunawan: yes, but now we are getting ahead of ourselves just a bit, let’s back up and talk about the origin of the challenges first
JellyBean Madison: Oh okay. My bad, soz!
HawksRock Gunawan: The way I remmy it was that I asked you once if you had ever been to Phat Cats to dance (back when Phat cats was still a cool hole in the wall club rather than the entire sim it is today!) and you were like, newp. And then I invited you in for our first dance as friends.
JellyBean Madison: Right… and I think that was the first time you saw me formal’d up, wasn’t it? I had to hover on the outside of the sim until I could get in ’cause it was full.
HawksRock Gunawan: yup, cept you weren’t totally formalled up, it was more of a racy slit up the side tango number I believe… but yes you did have to wait outside. And then when you arrived, we danced, and you described how in all your time in SL you had never gotten a chance to see the “romantic hotspots” only the grunge or club scenes.
JellyBean Madison: right :) I never went “out” dancing anywhere except clubs, but not romantic and/or nice spots.
HawksRock Gunawan: so we talked about that a while, and then you got a better offer to go tringo with Eva and you poofed on me
JellyBean Madison: well, it was tringo AND we were only friends
HawksRock Gunawan: very true… haha
HawksRock Gunawan: but that led to us having discussions about how we both played SL totally different, and then…. drumroll please…. we came up with the idea of the Class/Romance verses Grunge challenges, but didn’t you have a cool name for those?
JellyBean Madison: Shit! Way to put me on the spot, I cannot even look it up since dirty monkey is offline. Just leave it at Grunge vs Class challenge
JellyBean Madison: lmao
HawksRock Gunawan: kk will do… lol
HawksRock Gunawan: in a nutshell, I would take you to all the romantic spots of SL that you had never seen, and you would introduce me to the underground scene.

HawksRock Gunawan: So as a test of your memory what was the first thing you invited me too?

JellyBean Madison: like… the Wastelands :)

JellyBean Madison: Wait that wasn’t first was it? I think we went to the Block
HawksRock Gunawan: I was thinking the first thing you invited me too was to play tank wars with your 132654687 friends that were playing at your place.
HawksRock Gunawan: remmy when you put me on skype with the whole crew for my first time using skype?
JellyBean Madison: Oh yah - but I thought you meant the first *us* time. I tote remmy my sim & the tank wars, skype & the bubble
JellyBean Madison: in fact, I have machinima of that bubble ride.
HawksRock Gunawan: yup, haha, that was something else… crazy times I would venture to say… but yes shortly after that we did do the Block next I think, and then the Wastelands, and Midian City, etc…
HawksRock Gunawan: I remember thinking I had to come up with something really special to match up with your adventures, which is when I decided to take you to Avilion for the first time. I sort of think on that as our “first date” type experience, even though we were still in the friend mode.
JellyBean Madison: Right… but you dressed me!
HawksRock Gunawan: I got the wild idea to buy you a formal dress, and spent like a week straight shopping for the woman who has everything to find something that I thought you would like that wouldn’t clash with your hair… lol.
JellyBean Madison: lmao yep!
HawksRock Gunawan: And I think I even gave you a diamond necklace to go with it if I remember.


JellyBean Madison: You did and a purse
HawksRock Gunawan: yes, I remember when you had to go home to dress with Aka, before I could come “pick you up”… lol
JellyBean Madison: lmao yes! And she was all “awwww *gag*”
HawksRock Gunawan: haha, of course. But then when you arrived, and I was like *mouth dropping to the floor* at how beautiful you looked, and of course Avilion just has a special magic to it anyways, but it was the first time we had a really long uninterrupted convo without any distractions.
HawksRock Gunawan: I think that night was a major turning point from friends to more…
JellyBean Madison: You’re right. We danced & IM’d
HawksRock Gunawan: Wasn’t that also the first time we slow danced verses just tango (which was our specialty dance forever and ever?)
JellyBean Madison: Omg! Yah! We always tango’d but I don’t think we ever tango’d at Avilion
HawksRock Gunawan: so basically I would describe this phase as the starting to fall hard for each other, but still not unattached phase… is that correct? lol
JellyBean Madison: yup! Well, wait - I think it took you longer than it took me :p
HawksRock Gunawan: yeah, well after you broke it off with Truth you went through your short lived gonna be single phase, and then moved into the oddball clingers on phase
HawksRock Gunawan: I was going through my trying to figure out if I could actually love someone who would sleep with more than one man phase… and it took me figuring out the answer was no, to be ready to move on.
JellyBean Madison: Right, well I think that was crazy anyways lol
HawksRock Gunawan: Yes, but that is the oversimplified version… of course
HawksRock Gunawan: So this is probably a good place to break off this installment right before the hammock talk, eh?
JellyBean Madison: oh yes! lol
JellyBean Madison: cause that may be one part all by itself

Where’s the beef?!?

Posted in Fashion, SecondLife® with tags , , , , on April 18, 2008 by jellybeanmadison

So I’ve had my puter back for a full 31 hours now… and in that time, mayhaps 6 of them have been spent in SL®. I wish I could say it was eventful, however it was not. So I’m asking you readers to get me up to speed here. Where’s the beef? What have I missed?

Aka & I did try to infiltrate the inner gaming circles of Pizza & Tringo this arvo sniffing for the lastest gossip, dramas and basic who is boinking who, but came up empty handed. Sigh.

I tried to catch up on my bloglines to see what latest have-to-haves that I missed in the SL® fashion scene, and see who was saying wha-wha-what but found it too overwhelming and felt intimidated so quickly hit “mark all read”. Sigh x2.

HALP ME! I feel so out of the loopage that I could just cry.

Whew!

Omfg! Could I have taken a longer sabbatical from my computer-life? Jeebus! As Hawks said in his last post, my puter took a major shit on me 2 weeks ago. As of today the puter place just got back to me to let me know it hit the bench, blew the 2nd hard-drive and gave me two options. I chose to say fuck it to a $180 hard-drive replacement & just go pick it up. So here I am with less hard-drive, but nevertheless still here. Wuwu!

So here is what I know - Hawks & I have been getting our asses kicked by our RL jobs. Putting in a ton of hours (okay so Hawks is definitely working more hours than me, but for me 40 is a lot) & squeezing in the massive KU festivities that have been going on around us for the past two weeks. We’ve had very little time for much else, but now that I am back I can finally start unleashing all the blog posts I’ve had stored up in my head. Yes, blog posts… these are things I think of while chicken molesting. Hah!

SPOT THE SLUT CHICKEN!

So there ya have it in a shell of a nut! :p Stay tuned…
