4th January 12, 2012

Should be able to catch up with the creation of blog post texts this extended weekend.

Pietmond *might* last until March and even into early April. What projects to do, however, if it does? Norris gallery remains unfinished… Crooked Building: set up Pietmond Branch of Crabwoo University there? Sinkology?

The Table must be developed, and I’m not sure what role Pietmond will have in that. Started looking over The Table today, specifically the part belonging to The Beetles. The Beetles are the 4th most important artist or group of artists on this Table, audio side that is. Their mythology will be developed in a future carcass, perhaps Carcass-7 but maybe not as well.

The Table represents a history of music as I know it in general. And video. It is a snapshot of a particular time and place.

Gong represents another limitation, along with Teepot. Move back to Teepot? Is that where I’ll develop The Table in Second Life instead?

“No.”

bb:

There’s Mr. Hucka Doobie the Bee. Howdy.

Hucka D.:

Clean, cheap fun.

bb:

Pietmond.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Cut back on wine two days a week. Cut back on coffee. Cut back.

bb:

I’m planning to use the Pietmond money to buy toys, Hucka D., like model train track.

Hucka D.:

Make sure everything is wrapped up properly.

bb:

And The Table must be developed.

Hucka D.:

The Beetles[ and all].

bb:

Yes. Marty still around?

Hucka D.:

Yes. You will work with him again. Simpsons.

bb:

The good news is that, thanks to the expansion of the mythology surrounding Frank and Herman Parks — protected parks after all — the Baker Blinker Blog will continue even if Second Life went bottom up tomorrow. It would slow down, true.

Hucka D.:

You would find other virtual realities to explore.

bb:

I don’t think I plan to. Except maybe for GoogleEarth.

Hucka D.:

Good.

bb:

But I must begin to focus on The Table.

Hucka D.:

So you’ve said.

bb:

Working out… toward the edge.

Hucka D.:

Have you found the 4th yet?

bb:

Um, no.

Hucka D.:

You better start looking (!) That is the lip[ of the hole].

bb:

Crawling or climbing out of Pietmond equals climbing out of the hole that is The Table?

Hucka D.:

Sinkhole. Synch Hole.

bb:

Maybe draw some impressions of Pietmond.

Hucka D.:

You will have to go to the town council for any further destructions and constructions, baker b.

bb:

Carcassonne?

Hucka D.:

Yes.

bb:

Anyone else?

Hucka D.:

Maybe Marty. Maybe Warren Zeevon. Maybe The Bill. Maybe Lemmon. Maybe Plant. Bring them back. That’s your Table.

bb:

The Beetles are The 4th

—–

Marty is also leader of the toy avatar grouping at Money Pot now. BUILD THE TABLE THERE. The Table becomes all important. CARCASSONNE. Look over photos of Norum, Pietmond, Teepot?

—–

Marty becomes defacto leader of the toys after the death of Lisa the Vegetarian at the Jonesborough Compound. He orders the evacuation of the compound when Money Pot is found, a 1000000 dollars buried within so the rumors fly. DO YOU THINK HE NEEDS THE MONEY? Michael Won buried the money there — that’s what Michael Too was scared about. SACRED. Houston we have a problem. YOU BETTER FIND OUT IF THE MONEY IS THERE. MARTY MAY THINK SO. Maybe Stan and Sid and Spit and Sue are looking for that money. WHAT ELSE. Sid would know — he would vibrate around money. He could feel it deep underground. Shrink way way down. Totally different set of rules. CARCASS-7.

—–

Marty:

We begin today for several minutes. baker b., explain the numbering system of the carcasses. Why not call them by their real names?

bb:

The term carcass is used to describe [delete name] within this blog.

Marty:

There it goes again (!) Self editing.

Lemmon:

OHMMMMM.

bb:

OK, sorry. Carcasses are [delete name]. No use. But there are the word for *that* within the blog. We are within the blog now, so the word can’t be written. Not really. Carcasses start with the advent of this blog, or early 2008. Carcass-1 is the first carcass produced by me while working on the blog as well. This would be late 2008. Carcass-2 and Carcass-3 formed in 2009. Carcass-4 in 2010, just before the founding of Pietmond itself. Carcass-5 came along this past summer, and then Carcass-6 right after that, ending in September. Carcass-7, I project, will be formed sometime in 2012, perhaps along with even another carcass.

All carcasses before this blog have a positive number instead of a negative number. The last carcass created before the Baker Blink Blog is Carcass-0. The carcass before that is Carcass+0. The carcass before that, even, is Carcass+1, which may be the largest of all. The one before that, Carcass+2, is also pretty large but not as much. Carcass+1 and Carcass+2 together probably form the peak of carcass creations, and this would be late 2006 and early 2007. Marty, you would be involved in, for example, Carcass+3, very similar to Carcass+2, and then Carcass+2. You would be involved in one tile of Carcass-1. You would be involved in several tiles of Carcass-3, and this would also be the time of your involvement with the Baker Blinker Blog through Sunklands, along with Plant. Plant belongs in Carcass-3 as well — you two are the main driving force of this smaller carcass. It also probably represents the peak of Second Life influence on the carcasses, which start to grow larger again after this but not as large as pre-blog carcasses. Not yet at least. You and Plant are different in that you are blog spirits but also the major artists in a carcass. You are sort of a link between the two, then. When Carcass-3 was finished, I did not need either you or Plant afterwards. Not really, once more. This is one of the few times you’ve showed up in the meantime.

Marty:

I’m here at the request of Dr. Blood, whom I understand you [just] met in the heart of Sunklands, baker b. Tin S. Man.

bb:

I suppose I [just] did, yes.

Marty:

What is Sin City? Or Sinsity?

bb:

I believe it may be a psychic reflection of Chilbo west toward WESity. Your city after all.

Marty:

Yes, Lemmon and I played in WES. That’s where I was recruited by Dr. Blood to take part in the Sunkland Initiative. Plant came from the direction of, let me see, Sternberg I believe.

bb:

Originally Nowtown and Zen City, but they’re basically suburbs of Sternberg. *Were* suburbs. None of these places really exist now, except for the old core of Sternberg.

Marty:

I wonder if records still exist there of Plant’s stay. I’m not sure about WES and The Beetles. You have some photographs I understand. Sternberg, the city, was our drummer. Red. Dr. Blood.

bb:

Let’s see: WES or WESity was founded by a man who obviously, unconsciously knew of Carcass+2, Marty. His former club was in a MASH related sim[ name], and he also mentioned the desire to run a lemonade stand [in his SL profile] and then also quoted from Peewee’s Big Adventure [in same]. MASH represents mashup. Carcass+2.

Marty (pondering):

I can see this some, thanks to Dr. Blood. We, The Beetles, are at the end of Carcass+3. The End. And then at The Beginning of Carcass+2.

bb:

Kind of.

Marty:

This would be Abbey Road.

bb:

Yes.

Marty:

But Flattop is a mountain?

bb:

Yes. It is Yards Mountain. It use to be the most sacred of all Frank and Herman Park mountains, but I’m not so sure any more. It is a supposed place of contact. Like Devil’s Mountain, of course. Devil’s Tower, I mean.

Marty:

The End circles back to The Beginning. Grooving up slowly, this old flattop is. I thought the lyrics were nonsense… Lemmon didn’t tell me their meaning.

Lemmon:

The Bill. PAY THE BILL. (laughs loudly)

bb:

Come Together would be the coming together of the 2 who are to visit Devil’s Tower and witness the contact. The “over me” part of coming together would be the Tower itself. They are both creating art with representations of this mountain.

Hucka D. (entering):

Sorry I’m late. Apple cart spill over on Route 9, phew. Do you mind, actually, if I grab an okra cola soda before we begin?

bb:

We’ve already begun.

Hucka D.:

Oh. So you won’t miss me a bit more (smiles; gets up to go to okra coke machine).

Plant:

Marty must understand before the rest of us can understand.

Marty:

I understand that contact must be made. We must Come Together.*

bb:

And that’s your only role in Carcass+2. You’re not used in Carcass+1. But you’re back, certainly, in Carcass+-0. Realm of Lemmon for sure.

Lemmon:

UNCLE MEATWAD!

* http://oldies.about.com/od/thebeatlessongs/a/cometogether.htm

This has been erroneously reported as the last track on which all four Beatles played together at the session; that record actually belongs to, appropriately enough, “The End,” recorded on August 8, 1969.

A Crime. January 14, 2011

“Hucka D., we either go further into the depths of the Crime Peninsula — bad name, don’t you think? — or we back away now and try something else.”

Hucka D.:

Try something else. Or not.

bb:

There’s just not much of an energy base to talk about Jeogeot on my own.

Hucka D.:

You can always return to Sunklands. That’s you home, after all. Home away from home.

bb:

Something about West End, though. Marty, of course, and The Beetles as a whole.

Hucka D.:

How did the “R” of Ringo shift to the back of the name to make Ingor?

bb:

I guess that’s the whole, variant process, Hucka D. Like George Harrison there was called George Harris’ Son.

Hucka D. (listing them out):

So there’s Marty — McCartney; Lemon, he’s Lennon; then the two I just mentioned. We just mentioned. And they played in WES.

bb:

Yes. We have pictures as proof. From 2007.

Hucka D.:

Can I see one?

bb:

I suppose so. I can dig one or two up real quick. Suppose the creator won’t mind at this late date.

Hucka D.:

Is that Ingor playing the drums there? He looks very red. Like a Red Man red.

bb:

I think that’s just the guy who took the picture. Stefano Sternberg… interesting name in itself, since there’s a Sternberg city nearby. Here’s another picture of WES by the same guy:

bb:

Now a question becomes: Is this the same city as West End Shipping? We know it is WES. (pause). Ahhh, we have Stefano caught in a Chilbo t-shirt here, Hucka D. (!)

bb:

And it looks like he may have owned a place called the Berlin Bar in Mujigae in Greater Chilbo. But it [Chilbo] would have been quite a young place in Spring 2007 still, the time the bar seemed to have opened. (pause) Furthermore, it looks like he checked out The Cavern in WES just before this bar opened, Hucka D. Perhaps it served as some sort of inspiration. (pause to look at more snapzilla photos) That’s about all I’m getting out of this, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Have you figured out what happened yet?

bb:

In WES?

Hucka D.:

WES, yes. WES.

bb;

One thing: I was just thinking tonight it’s about as far away from Chilbo on Jeogeot you can get in both a physical and spiritual way, yet now I know there’s a direct connection through Stefano and The Cavern/Berlin Bar.

Hucka D.:

Center becomes West. West becomes Center.

bb:

Maybe WES was becoming a rival to Chilbo. Maybe Chilbo didn’t like it. Maybe they took care of The Beetles.

Hucka D.:

The Beetles were in trouble, true.

bb:

Maybe this is about urban areas of Jeogeot, like WES, like Chilbo… like Sternberg for that matter, where Little Robert Plant Variant supposedly got his musical start.

Hucka D.:

Interesting name, as you said. Why were all attracted to Sunklands?

bb:

I believe it was indicated that Plant and The Beetles were invited into Sunklands.

Hucka D.:

*Everyone* was invited. WES, Sternberg, Chilbo… everyone. It was a central watering hole. Center becomes North, South, East, West. Compass directions. All in Sunklands. Sink in.

*****

bb:

Sunklands was a way to preserve the past. Ancients.

Hucka D.:

It’s not The Beetles. It’s The Residues.

bb:

Variant Residents band (?)

Hucka D.:

Two WES’, superimposed on top of each other. Two lidded, if you wish.

bb:

Band on the Run?

Hucka D.:

Yes, on the run. Marty should have seen it coming. Another Beetles on top of the other Beetles. It was his dream to start over in 1970 and do the bar circuit again. He couldn’t do it in Real Life — he came here. Split occurred. But in order to do this he had to make an agreement with The Residues.

bb:

I’m getting confused over the role of all these bands. Sternberg, in that snapshot above, played drums in WES and pretended he was Ringo.

Hucka D.:

Sternberg was Ingor. Red Man.

bb:

Sewing out tunes? Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields?

Hucka D.:

Bee-tles. McCartney. Lennon. Wisconsin, Florida. You must return.

bb:

Thank you.

McGlumphed January 11, 2011

“Close conjunction of population places Darwin and Casey in Meeker County, Minnesota. Last names of perhaps first and last Pietmond outside exhibitors.”

Hucka D.:

Meaning those not within your skin.

bb:

Yes. Then in Clark County, Illinois…

… the same two town names [appear] but on opposite sides of the county this time, instead of close together. Each has a township named for it, like Casey Darwin does in Minnesota.

Hucka D.:

Darwin pulls you out of yourself, your Pietmond. She even has a… I’ll let you speak.

bb:

She even has a West Coast Road folder, Hucka D. Energies unite.

Hucka D.:

Casey first and Darwin last. Evolution. Pietmond evolution [of Art Crawl galleries, SoSo first and Underground perhaps last]. Only way to go now is up [to the UFO].

bb:

OK.

Hucka D.:

Put the McGlumphy pictures in the Underground tomorrow. Sorry, Ms Darwin’s pictures.

bb:

It [Darwin-Casey conjunctions in MN and IL] really seems to define the limits of Pietmond itself, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

She is a Jeogeot artist. You are an artist of Jeogeot.

bb:

United in West End Shipping: WES.

Hucka D.:

Yes. How’s the search for Ancient Marty going. Blackbird?

bb:

Black and white. Red all over, I suppose.

Hucka D.:

Do you think… have you considered… that Marty is jacking you around?

bb:

I’m not really sure what that would mean.

Hucka D.:

Well… you’ve put things forth on the table. He hasn’t responded.

bb:

Not sure…

Hucka D.:

Lemon stand… shiny red Herman bike… Mash… Mashup.

bb:

I think you mean the mashup of a specific Herman bike with a lemon true tree. Fusion, really.

Hucka D.:

Yes, you can say that. Then both stolen. Big and little together. Mashup. Monster Mashup.

==========

bb:

Well, let’s talk, if you don’t mind, about my visit or, now, visits to WES. Something I didn’t put in that last descriptive post: I met the griefer, apparently, and we talked a bit. She had a gun, which I found uneasy given the day’s events. She was only white mist, and when I told her to log out and log back in, and that always cleared the non-body problem up for me, she did and it didn’t. She remained an unknown, like a certain person that had captured Amereca’s complete attention was still a huge question mark. I think that has something to do with all this.

Another observation: there are several Crimean related sim names on the peninsula with WES, including — I’ve sent Baker Bloch over to Nightfield right now [to check the inworld map] — Cimmeria, primarily, but also Belit. I’ve done a bit of study on the others sim names of this mainland peninsula, but this is the only connection between two sims I’ve been able to come up with, mainly through the wikipedia article on Robert E. Howard’s Belit, where it is mentioned that her romantic interest, Conan the Barbarian (Howard’s most famous character), is a Cimmerian, which is the actual name of a tribe of people who lived on Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula. Crimea is also an anagram of Cimmeria.

Hucka D.:

What’s your point [in all this]?

bb:

I should also mention that Belit is Conan’s first real love interest.

Hucka D.:

Let me help, then. The peninsula Stanlee is upon is like the Crimean Peninsula. Crime as well. A crime was committed there. Griefer attack. Seems to be two separate people but in reality only one. Gun was involved. This happen to Lemon too.

bb:

Oh, man. I didn’t understand the Lemon connection fully until now (!)

Hucka D.:

A man was being searched for but not the one who committed the crime. Instead it was One Who Zaps, see. Mashup is involved. You have found your Ancients. (pause) Lemon was stolen from us. Bike… lemon. Something very, very valuable to us all.

============

bb:

So a bit more: off the West Coast Road I’ve found not one but two peninsulas with a very narrow type of isthmus connecting them back to mainland. The first was in a larger body of water in Kusanagi, described in this earlier post. The second comes from Nightfield itself; in fact, if Baker Bloch stands up right now — I’m making him do this as I write — he can go to the window in front of him and *just* see this second, very similar type of peninsula. I’ll go ahead and take another picture of it while Baker is standing there.

Easy as pie. Anyway, this much smaller peninsula has the two lidded chest we talked about before, Hucka D., which you indicated at the time represents two eyes, similarly with two lids.

Hucka D.:

To see with, yes. The lids help protect. They are lids as well. They hide the soul… golden stairway to heaven… so forth.

==========

bb:

I stopped to write an email to MC. I think he’s the one who’s been McGlumphed. I was just picking up on that.

Hucka D.:

Yes. A crime.

bb:

Anyway, I just logged in to my email account to write *him*, and see he beat me to the punch. I was going to ask him his opinions of Jung’s individuation process and the search for Self. This has to do with that double lidded trunk. Directly.*

==========

http://www.schuelers.com/ChaosPsyche/part_1_27.htm

Jung’s (1978) individuation is similar, if not identical, to the self-actualization of Maslow (1968; 1971). But why does the ego need to approach the Self, if it is to all end in death? Jung (1991) says “The psyche itself, in relation to consciousness, is pre-existent and transcendent “ (p. 91). So, while the ego is born, grows, and dies, in the same way as the body, the psyche itself, and especially the Self, is not under the same limitations. Jung’s eternal archetypal Self is probably the chief subject of disagreement with other psychologists, and one reason why mainstream materialistic psychologists fail to take him seriously. He is, however, taken seriously by today’s transpersonal psychologists.

WES, etc. January 10, 2011

Sad to say that most of what I’ve been calling Nowtown in this blog has become abandoned land, including this pool with an underwater bar.

However, the Brainwash Art Centre, snuggled underneath the rather towering green mount in Somerset, remains open.

Moving back to West End, Baker Bloch finds an inviting, cracked door in a house sitting right next to the blue-green pool with the double lidded chest full of gold buillion. He latches onto the idea that this represents an invitation to not only go within the house this one time, but perhaps many times — make this a home away from home for a spell, and a base to further explore the quite fascinating ins and outs of the West End community.

This is about the best view he can get from within of the blue-green pool. Can’t see the aforementioned chest from this vantage point, though, which lies on the opposite side of the small pool from here.

There *are* some great views of the giant coconut structure nearer to WES, though.

Looking up from directly beneath the mole statue commemorating the finding of the first sculpted prim. Right next to WES, as mentioned before.

Then some more details from WES itself.

As Baker Bloch walked away from the scene above after taking its picture, he turned around upon hearing a sawing noise to see the trucks just left behind enveloped in some sort of amorphous, blue blobby thing. Griefer attack?

More of the same then appeared in the skies in a different part of WES. *Two* coordinated attackers?

Baker attempted to remain calm while the sinister looking shapes gathered force around the town. He decided that ignoring it and going about his business there would be best choice to make. Below is a picture Baker subsequently took of a more interesting, corner building of WES (southwest).

Besides the one building on the eastern side with the lounging area, Baker found all buildings of WES devoid of objects, in continuing to poke around that night. The city appeared almost completely abandoned. If The Beetles were indeed in WES, it seems they have left the scene long ago; a dead city we have here.

The owner of West End Shippping (our “WES”), is Valin Frye, who use to run a popular SL dance venue called Club 9.13, doubling as its DJ. In checking his profile and information online, quickly found out that the club use to be situated in the Winchester sim on the Nautilus continent. Finding this former location on the inworld map, I was amused to see Winchester surrounded by a number of other MASH related names such as Radar, Trapper, Hawkeye, Klinger, Hunnicutt, Flagg, Potter, Mulchaey, McIntyre, Houlihan, Rizzo, and perhaps some others I’m not familiar with.

In his SL profile, Valin also quotes Peewee Herman from “Peewee’s Big Adventure” (“I’m a loner Dottie. A rebel.”), and lists having a lemonade stand and making lemonade as his only interests.

Random bits of unrelated information, it seems, but for various reasons I can’t fully disclose here, I think these are clues/breadcrumbs. Marty *has* been here!

Let’s tile 1 on. September 25, 2010

Great two days of hiking on my vacation so far, both on Beach Mtn. Hiking will continue tomorrow, but more locally. Want to return to Whitehead Crossing, but there’s another story to that. The Michael Story.

Bracket Jupiter, a former King of Comma Islands, is dead. But will be resurrected — as something. Coincidentally, The Bakers of England have also left the company of The King and Queen in Wiltshire County, since the crop circle season is over. I’ll have more to say about that when I have a chance to read the opinion of others on the 2010 season.

I’m still loving Otaki Gorge, but for how long will I stay there? Will the Blue Feather Gallery be moved to the sink? Staying in the Chilbo region is not an option now.

Or will the Blue Feather just go away? Will I downsize in SL and get rid of my own, personal sink in the near future? Depends on the continued strength of the Sunklands idea.

I don’t see the end of the blog coming up, but I see an end to mainland SL. Shifts will be made to other grids — other “mainland” perhaps. Need to study up on the philosophy of mainlanders as compared to estate owners. How does a Chilboan or a Parktowner or a Sterberginite think differently from an isolated island owner? And what of the relative disappearance of sub-continents in SL, like Azure Island #1 or Otherland #1? Or even Big Island for that matter? It doesn’t look very good; Sunklands is really all I have, unless I can make a renewed stake on Heterocera, which is doubtful (?) Or maybe even Sansara.

Why stay in Sunklands when it is so deenergized?

Because I still need it for storytelling. I need to know why Peter, whose burial mound appears to be in the middle of my Otaki Gorge land, after all, was the candidate chosen to lead the Sunklands Initiative. I need to know the relationship of Peter to TILE. I need to understand the connection between SL avatars and toy avatars from Frank and Herman Park in the real world. I need to understand better the writings of St. Nick of Barkley, who may be the patron saint of Big Sink (St. Lemon of Troy is saint of Sunklands as a whole?).

I am writing history. The current condition of Sunklands doesn’t matter as much as what was there in the past. The Sunklands Initiative was there. Little Robert Plant Variant was there; Marty was there. Peter who is a variant Peter Gabriel of Genesis was there.

I think the Initiative all started on my Otaki Gorge property now. Lemon, who is, in turn, a variant John Lennon, called in The Bill, against the protests of Marty (variant Paul McCartney). The Residents of First Life became the residents of Second Life. Revealment of the 2 games of Trivia Ratsuit already played, one to squelch a corrupted “Second Life” path emerging at the end of the Roman Empire, and another to jumpstart virtual reality and Second Life in 19–, let’s see, 1985.

Robert Plant Variant had to be purified of outside influence before he could enter the heart of Sunklands and be initiated into the Initiative there. He then knew of Joplin, Arkansas and the missing Joplin Ball of the Temple of TILE.

My first Sunklands story was mainly about Plant and Marty and how they had to learn to cooperate to make the Initiative a success in 2009. Peculiarly, this phase of the story continued after Plant and Marty had essentially left this blog, their job completed in the Initiative. Perhaps this is because it wasn’t *really* finished, and more work had to be done. Or maybe Peter was really behind this.

Hucka D. recently said that Peter was not ready to speak on this blog as himself. Curious. I need a pep talk.

Hucka D.:

Peter is here. He’s ready.

bb:

Oh hi Hucka D. That’s great news. What of Sapphire? Has she gone the way of Marty and Plant before her?

Hucka D.:

Yes. We need to start speaking to Peter directly. This is a new direction.

Peter:

Hello.

bb:

Hi. Pleasure to be speaking with you tonight, Peter. But we’ve spoken before, haven’t we?

Peter:

No. US.

bb:

(pause) Are you a collective?

Peter:

US.

[long pause]

bb:

How did Lemon attract The Bill to Second Life and Sunklands, Peter?

[no answer]

Hucka D.:

I guess that’s it for Peter tonight.

bb:

I didn’t really understand it.

Hucka D.:

Well. Let’s then look at the Bracket Jupiter situation.

bb:

Can we?

Hucka D.:

Bracket talked about this very subject, and it got him killed. Peter is wise to answer in short.

bb:

Let me venture a guess. They had to make a 4th. Where is the 4th?, you’re always asking.

Hucka D.:

That’s TILE.

Chatters… July 3, 2010

[delete 12 exchanges]

Hucka D.:

We better talk of the Valley of the Nye a bit as well.

bb:

Yes, thanks. But it’s Valley of Nye. Isn’t it?

Hucka D.:

Yes. Thanks in turn. Eye of Rye perched on the edge of the Valley of Nye, peering down into it almost. No, make that definitely. An eyeball on the edge. Chasm Deep turns the other direction.

http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2010/oldsarum/comments.html

bb:

Valley of the Nye is directly associated with the Grand Canyon of Mars now, Hucka D. Coast to Coast.* From sea to shining sea. Shine on!

Hucka D. (in turn):

Shine on!

*****

bb:

The Bill came from this valley, perhaps from Mars itself. Crack in the world leading to Mars and back.

Hucka D.:

That’s *precisely* what it is. The Martians went to Corsica Prime and made it their home. They set up the Eye of Rye-Chasm Deep Sink duality, then the Ear of Beer.

bb:

So the Ear of Beer is actually Egg Hill Sink we’ve discussed rather in detail before.

******

Hucka D.:

Oh, the question. Well, what is the Nose of Rose if that’s the Ear of Beer?

bb:

That would be the Ruuster peninsula of the Nautilus continent, the one we, or I originally called the Eye of

*****

6/3/10:

“We continue the next night, Hucka D. We got cut off there at the end.”

Hucka D.:

No big woopie.

bb:

I’m not sure that what we’ve been calling the Ruuster peninsula is the actual Nose of Rose, if there is such a thing.

Hucka D.:

Rudolph [as you’ve guessed].

bb:

It *was* shiny. Shine on!

Hucka D. (not joining in this time):

That’s Hilo Peak. Abomination above water, Hilo Peak just below, the highest of the low. Hilo. (pause) Pre-Linden. Pre-Philip. Phillip.

bb:

I should look back at some of those related posts, Hucka D. But both The Abomination and Hilo Peak of Sansara are no more, having been leveled in [the meantime]. (pause)

*****

bb:

Sorry, got sidetracked [again].

Hucka D.:

The Valley of Nye is as long, virtually speaking, as the Grand Canyon of Mars, which would extend from the east coast of America to the west coast. Coast to Coast again, then. The Martians used this crack in timescape to penetrate our primary virtual reality, or the one they found most interesting.** They colonized the Corsica continent through Eye of Rye. They made the continent Corsica Prime a whole body, entered through the [left] eye. Ear of Beer is the Egg Hill Sink. The grid was based on squares 1/3rd the size of a “normal” SL sim, currently (256 x 256 meters). 1/3 was used to disguise the sims from later discovery, since their sides were an irrational number (85.33333…).

The nose [Nose of Rose presumably] has been displaced.

bb:

We’ve spoken about The Beatles, which you call The Beetles.

Hucka D.:

They are The Beetles because They are Variants. (continuing): Marty and Lemon and the rest explored the Valley of Nye with their yellow submarine. This was associated with their journeys through the Sea of Holes, Sea of Monsters, Sea of Green, and so forth and so on. There Lemon found The Bill and brought them back to Sunklands with them. The Bill extended [from] Coast to Coast. The Bill are the Martians. They are related or perhaps the same as The Phil, or just Phil. Phil Hill… Bill Hill. SL is Martian in origin as a whole, but only [in] Corsica Prime is this invasion physically obvious now through altered topography. Sunklands has stories remaining as well.

Your assignment: find and explore the displaced Nose of Rose. Is it Rudolph’s? (pause) And so forth.

bb:

Thank you, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Thank you also. Goodnight.

“I think… July 1, 2010

… it’s a focus issue, Hucka D.”

Hucka D.:

The Ratcliff-Bracket connection links Rubi to Corsica, but Jeogeot is left out of the loop. What do you know about that continent now? Can you summarize? It’s your biggest Your Second Lyfe project, after all. Sunklands was large…

bb:

Led to Carrcass-3, as Carrcass-2 also had to do with Jeogeot, more with Chilbo and its past as Chilbol in the Chilbol-Norum axis.

Hucka D.:

You’re trapped in Rubi, whatever. You know that. Your only option there is to reduce to a 3072 from a 4096. But I wouldn’t recommend it. Keep the 4 colors in the air. 4-in-1. TILE.

bb:

So if I want to make a bigger change, it has to be in Noru.

Hucka D.:

Chilbo is tier challenged right now. Has to focus more internally. The old Norum-Chilbol axis cannot be fully understood or grasped. Best to leave now while you can.

bb:

I could simply buy my old land there. Next to Olando’s.

Hucka D.:

An option. You still…

bb:

I know… I got sidetracked. We did. Well, let’s start with that old Norum-Chilbol axis, then.

Hucka D.:

Like Old Sarum to Salisbury, England. Quite close, yet separate. Past-present. (pause) Even if you leave Noru, Sapphire’s house will remain. On what was once thought of as the highest point on the continent — another Mt. Jeogeot if you will.

bb:

I’ll have to look over all the Jeogeot related posts soon.

Hucka D.:

You can’t leave. Remember Wazob.

bb:

You sound like Ruuster! One second I have to leave and then the next I *can’t* leave.

Hucka D.:

But you have to.

bb:

Leave?

Hucka D.:

Stay. Leave. Both, maybe. Yes, both.

bb:

What’s left to explore of the Jeogeot-Wazob connection?

Hucka D.:

Red and blue.

bb:

Is that Ruuster’s peninsula, Hucka D.? As I suspected?

Hucka D.:

As you suspected. Suspected?

bb:

Split. The energy once shared between Ruuster’s peninsula and Comma Islands has been separated.

Hucka D.:

Eye of Rye. In the void. Valley of the Nye.

bb:

Art Bell sounds a whole heck of a lot like Space Ghost, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Bleedthrough. Points to third.

bb:

The Bill also extended Coast to Coast, through Diamond. 3 of them which were actually 1[ of them].

Hucka D.:

Shine on!

bb:

Let’s put up a map where the Valley of the Nye may have been. Conjecture.

Hucka D.:

Shiny!

bb:

OK.

*****

bb:

And it’s Valley of Nye, not Valley of the Nye. I don’t think.

Hucka D.:

A key question, off to the side a bit still, remains: where is the Ear of Beer? Or Bear?

bb:

To back up, and for the reader(s), Eye of Rye apparently is the same as the highest tip of what we’ve been calling Ruuster’s peninsula, and where I met the owner of the castle that sits atop that tip now just last night.

Hucka D.:

Nice woman. But it’s really Ruuster. R110.

bb:

We’ll return to that I’m sure. Then you have the Comma Islands to the north of Eye of Rye, and then, between them, this Valley of Nye that’s now empty or voided.

Hucka D.:

A chasm. A trench really. Deepest at point nearer Eye of Rye. On the bottom are colonies of long tube worms, among other things.

bb:

But some say… sorry once more.

Hucka D.:

But some say at the deepest point it has no bottom. Or it goes from one side of Second Life to another.

bb:

Like the Blackmount Rabbit Hole[, then].

Hucka D.:

Something like that. But there was something different about the Valley of Nye.

bb:

Something Lost?

Hucka D.:

Yes! Maybe, I mean. And, absolutely not!

bb:

Then something was there.

Hucka D.:

No!

bb:

*That’s* the hole the King of the Stans found.

Hucka D.:

You don’t go in there without a reason. Crop circles.

bb:

Eye of Rye.

Hucka D.:

And Ear of Beer. Don’t forget the Ear.

bb:

What about Nose of Rose?*

Hucka D.:

That’s just silly[ talk].

bb:

Riiiight.

Hucka D.:

But it’s not at all silly. Because it happened. I was there.

bb:

Show us your snapshots, then.

Hucka D.:

Not yet. Later. But I already have.

bb:

You’re saying the yellow submarine, the Beatles’ yellow submarine, or the Beatles from that movie, explored the Valley of the Nye.

Hucka D.:

I’m saying they were there, Marty and Lemon. And The Bill. That’s where they met The Bill. Lemon liked him, Marty was indifferent. Lemon wanted to shake things up for the Beetles. So he directed them into this valley. The new Sunklands. Black and blue.

bb:

We should probably end soon. Do they enter the Valley of the Nye through the Ear of Beer?

Hucka D.:

All these things, these places, are real. Nose of Rose… you’ve already been there. It’s not a blue world any longer.

bb:

So you’re saying… OK, we better end.

Hucka D.:

Go back to Eye of Rye and poke around. You have permission, after all.

bb:

Thanks.

“We are closing in… May 28, 2010

… to a specific location, Hucka D. It seems.”

Hucka D.:

The O marks the center. Uma G. Uma. ALL FLOYD.

bb:

The Cornfields are not from Yd Island… wait, they are but Meddletown is here on Jeogeot, not Yd Island. Not in Meddledown [Yd Island sim].

Hucka D.;

You’re missing a more refined connection.

bb:

Maybe the Tickles and Bites Gallery?

Hucka D.:

MakeMake.

bb:

OK, we’ll get back to that, perhaps. Sapphire and I talked about the “One Pink” collage a couple of months ago, Hucka D. Related post is here. Within it as well, she mentioned that she ruled the eastern half of Jeogeot from a place not far south of Yeot. Is this Meddletown, then?

Hucka D.:

Yes. The “Pink Floyd Echoes” property. The O marks the spot. Take a picture.

bb:

Hold on, then.

*****

bb:

Remarkable. Karoz has beamed in to the exact center of Yuja and found that it’s marked with the end stepping stone, the largest, in a chain extending from the stairs [pinpointed] by the center of the O of FLOYD, as described in the other post from tonight. This is getting quite weird, Hucka D.!

Hucka D.:

Yes. the Meddle group obviously knew of the center of the sim, and placed a marker there. Karoz landed right in the center of the marker through the default [central] teleport into the sim. No mistake there.

bb:

And then as I’m counting there’s 7 smaller stepping stones connecting this endpoint to the stairs. And then there’s no more stepping stones beyond the stairs. This is obviously the center (!).

Hucka D.:

This is where Uma G. Uma derived his strength. You must begin to think about rabbits again. Hares and Rabbits.

bb:

The centerpoint of the sim also touches the lower part of the F of FLOYD on the SL map, Hucka D. (pause) Hmmm… in Yeodeol, the center of the sim seems to be marked by the hole of the A.

*****

bb:

Jeez, another sim centerpoint marked (!).

*****

bb:

It’s a skydiving pod, Hucka D. Karoz just went up to 4000 meters and jumped, and passed right through the middle of the A!

*****

bb:

My thinking, Hucka D., is that this has to be related to the 26 sims [delineated] by the 2 northern-southern YEO sims, which has already been connected to the 26 tiles of SID’s 1st Oz. Each tile of that carrcass, that synchronicity, is a certain letter of the alphabet. Tile=letter, just like all the letters of the alphabet, 25+1, are on the map of Yeodeol. The centerpoint of Yuja is marked by a Wish You Were Here textured circular pad. People say Wish You Were Here, both the song and album, are a lot about Syd Barrett, and Syd’s image can be seen in that picture above, next to the pad.

Hucka D.:

You start at the very beginning, which is a very good place to start.

bb:

On more thing tonight, Hucka D. Hold on… well, I guess I should *ask* you. Will you go inworld and take some pictures of that A and also that skybox Karoz fell beside somewhere above it?

Hucka D.:

Don’t you want to use your magic feather [delete name] gave you?

bb:

No, you go ahead and do your thing. You’re the Air Force of the family.

Hucka D.:

Alright. *You* hold on, hehe.

*****

“Man, this one’s really funny, Hucka D. And you just picked a place to sit at random so you could get to the platform.”

“Now the thing is, baker b., you must create a similar workshop yourself. You must create a SID workshop [you see].”

“Yes. I think I do see. Thank you.”

“There’s a couple more you need to include [of me]. Hold on again once more, please.”

“You’re becoming One Pink!”

What’s up w/ da letters?

This would be in Yeodeol, a part of the YEO/Jeogeot mystery pool of information.

But caddycorner to Yeodeol, to the northwest, is Yuja.

More letters, all pink this time, but more importantly, marking the center of the “Pink Floyd Echoes” property explored just the other night, and determined by me, w/ aid from Hucka D., to be part of or perhaps the core of ancient Meddletown, maybe the oldest remnant of this hypothetical, forgotten city of pre-Linden Jeogeot.

Oh, and the “F” letter, of the 26 in Yeodeol, is the only one that’s *pink*, hehe.

And as Baker Bloch is finding out even as I write this post, Art in the Park, in Hobak west of Yuja and north of Yeodeol, is about the same distance between the two groups of letters. On the below map, it is easily spotted by the maze of gray sidewalks in the lower part of the sim.

Baker looking up at the FLOYD letters in Yuji. That’s as high up as he can fly.

If followed to the ground, the center of the “O” of this FLOYD would be approximately where Baker is standing below, beside some steps leading to stepping stones textured with various Pink Floyd related pictures.

Southeast of Yeot (Meddletown??) May 26, 2010

In just teleporting randomly around the general area of Yeot the other night, quickly came across this interesting beach area on the west side of Jeogeot. I believe this was, in fact, my first random teleportation of the night, just using terrain view to spot interesting depressions, cliffs, and so on.

Interesting underwater pod, giving a limited view of the surrounding ocean and some sea life within. In checking behind Baker today, Karoz believes it to be a representation of a black pearl, although the actual description of the object is blank. Pretty nice; a bit different, at least for me.

It took me a minute or 2, but it finally sunk in that this is a Pink Floyd themed parcel. In checking the About Land tab, found the property, called “Pink Floyd Echoes”, was additionally owned by a group called “Meddle”.* I immediately thought of Hucka D.’s mention of a mythical Meddletown on Yd Island. Could *this* instead be the ancient site of Meddletown? As I continued to walk and explore the area, this realization began to grow and be nurtured from other directions.

Below is a replication on the south side of the long island of a factory off the cover of their 1977 album, Animals, most famous for its flying pig.

When I first teleported in, the texture of this large poster hadn’t rezzed in yet, and I just thought: “Great: wallscreen clutter.” But it turned out to contain a montage of Pink Floyd related images, which made it suddenly A-OK.

The island is almost cut into 2 islands by a channel about 1/2way up its length, but not quite. Those plants are non-phantom for some reason, making further progress up the island more difficult than it should be.

Cool… as Karoz is walking the area now, he is able to take a free copy of the plant, called “Sara Nerd Tropical Tree/Plant 1,” a 3 prim affair.

Just to note, the water just in front of Baker Bloch in the below picture is Linden owned, and dotted with an interesting matrix of ferns (ferns?).

Beyond the upper end of the island is a centerpiece lighthouse, displaying on its side one of the numerous images from Pink Floyd’s movie The Wall found in various guises around the property. Near the top is a rotating, multicolored heartbeat line taken from the inner sleeve of the Dark Side of the Moon album, and the circular top of the light itself is an image from the Wish You Were Here album.

Dark Side of the Moon is debatably the most famous album in all of rock annals. In fact, another slightly less mentioned candidate for that distinguish title is Floyd’s The Wall, and the two albums are often grouped together in lists of all time top 5 or top 10 albums. Wish You Were Here, the album released after Dark Side of the Moon by the group, often makes top album lists as well. But, as I said, probably their best individual *track* is “Echoes” from the album before Dark Side of the Moon.

The property below “Pink Floyd’s Echoes” is called “Makebelieve”. I believe Hucka D. has connected the name Makemake with Meddletown in the past. Hafta check the details, though — one of those “adding to the stream” ideas building, possibly, to the full realization that, yes, this is the actual site of his Meddletown.

And to complete, there’s also an open front store near the lighthouse stocked with various Pink Floyd related paraphenalia such as furniture, t-shirts, jewelry, even Pink Floyd eye textures.

But I’ll be returning to this area again soon enough to recheck all this and fill in the picture more. In fact, I sent Baker Bloch back the next night…

* “Echoes” was a side long track on the original Meddle vinyl album. It is often called Pink Floyd’s greatest, single track.
