Gilligan Static: Gillatic (Statigan) June 17, 2012

“Always fun chatting with you.”

Hucka D.:

No prob. What’s up? Homie.

bb:

Concreek. Tomorrow.

Hucka D.:

Go with Joe.

bb:

Joe the Rock?

Joe:

I’ll be there.

Marty:

We are forgotten again… at The Table.

bb:

Yeah. Sorry Marty.

Marty:

You mentioned Residents.

bb:

Do you know them?

Marty:

We do not know them by that name.

bb:

What do you call them.

Marty:

We are The Beetles, Lemmon and I. They are the Residues.

bb (volunteering):

How about The Occupants.

Marty:

Nice. Let’s ask Lemmon.

Lemmon:

UmmmmMMMMMM.

bb:

Hi Lemmon.

Lemmon:

OoooooOOOOOOO.

bb:

Are you at The Table as well?

Lemmon:

Barney RUBLESboro!

bb:

Marty said you don’t abide by the agreement, Lemmon. Wait, I suppose that was Hucka D. Do you know Hucka?

Lemmon:

I knew his MAMA.

Hucka D.:

Desert. Island.

bb:

You were reading my thoughts.

Hucka D.:

Gilligan. Gingervitis. I was the 7th Gilligan (Grumpy).

bb:

*I* was the 7th Gilligan. Or at least as Merk Coolie Brighton.

Hucka D.:

You shouldn’t mention that name here.

bb:

I think I’ve figured out another part of the Bill… The Agreement. I know you will probably leave now that I’ve brought that up.

Marty:

He’s gone. Where’s Dr. Blood?

bb:

Dr. Blood the controller of The Table.

Marty:

Here he is. Coming ’round the bend. Big Bend.

Hucka D.:

Bend. Big. Pool. Ovol. Look. Static. God. Tennessee. Kentucky Kentuckessee. Tennucky.

bb:

TV, then.

Hucka D.:

Where’s Dr. Blood?

bb:

Marty just asked…

Hucka D.:

Here he…

Dr. Blood:

Hi. Baker.

bb:

Hi. (pause) Are you here about The Table?

Dr. Blood:

I am here for dessert.

Carcass-One… June 6, 2012

… has a sort of sister village now, Hucka D. 7 Stones I’m still calling it presently.

Hucka D.:

7 Stones is good.

bb:

So I know you don’t want to talk about the Billfork Agreement.

Hucka D.:

Not really.

bb:

How about The Table.

Hucka D.:

Hummm.

bb:

We were talking to Marty about The Table not long ago, Hucka.

Hucka D.:

Marty is still here.

Marty:

Hi.

bb:

Hi Marty.

Marty:

Hear you and Hucka D. disagree about the revealing of the agreement.

bb:

Maybe. Difficult to tell.

Marty:

Lemon brought in The Bill. How about that?

bb:

What does that really mean? I mean, I know what it means but I don’t.

Marty:

Chart our history in Second Life. We started in WES, us Beetles, then moved to Ruuster’s Peninsula to probe the Valley of Nye with our brand new yellow submarine bought for us. Therein lies The Bill. We understood what MASH meant, then.

Lemon:

Ho do ro mo. Tick tock. SID’s 1ST OZ!

bb:

Hi Lemon.

Lemon:

CARCASS ONNNNNNEEE.

bb:

Billfork?

Lemon:

Bill. FORK!

bb:

You don’t seem encumbered by the agreement.

Marty:

He isn’t.

[Lemon continues to shout names as he moves out of hearing range.]

Peter the Good:

I’ve decided to join the Initiative. I’m sold. I bought a giant rat and I’m going to ride it all the way into town and back. Carcass-One you’re calling it, baker b.?

bb:

Yes. Ride a rat in Second Life, Peter?

Marty:

That was the selling point. The Giant Rat.

bb:

So you had to give Peter a Giant Rat he could ride around in his Second Life before he agreed to the, er, agreement.

Marty:

Yes. Basically. Those were his terms. One of them.

bb:

Can you tell me any of the others?

Marty:

A whistle.

bb:

Lemme guess.

Marty:

So he could train the Giant Rat, yes. Train him to sing? No, just train.

bb:

Can he sit up or beg?

Hucka D.:

OK, gotta close this down. Thanks for showing up tonight Marty. Happy b-day baker!

bb:

Thanks! Suppose it is already.

Marty:

Mine’s next!

Baseball Great Joe Oliver January 24, 2012

(joined in progress)

“Dr. Blood doesn’t want it in Happy. He is unhappy about all of that.”

Hucka D.:

Worn out joke, baker b.

bb:

Yeah. Sorry. You’ve used it too[, though].

Hucka D.:

Back to business: Dr. Blood wants The Table set up in Pietmond. He wants you to *hold onto* Pietmond in February. Destroy 1/2 of the town if you have to. Keep the temple. Keep the Pod Pad. That’s where he wants to set up The Table. For The Table, in a way, in a manner, is Carcassonne. Heart and soul and head and body.

bb:

Carcassonne is a computer… from the future.

Hucka D.:

Tronesis robot times, well, times a lot.

bb:

Inside is the Tronesis robot, though.

Hucka D.:

Well, yeah. I guess.

bb:

The older carcasses were interior synch heavy. Like Dark Side of the Rainbow. Like well, like OK, like The Rainbow Sphere.

Hucka D. (volunteering):

MessiaenSphere. A child. Before The Fall. Before The Monster. Spring any day now. Happy. Harry. Jerry. Cube. Sphere.

bb:

There’s a dichotomy, then.

Hucka D.:

That’s why Peter Gabriel is needed. Other synchs convince him of the worth of The Table, like Carcass-6 obviously (the most recent carcass). This is what they are debating… already have debated.

bb:

We must finish our talk with Dr. Blood about The Beetles’ involvement with Carcass+6, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

I wasn’t there.

bb:

OK, right.

Hucka D.:

Do you want him to come in? Talk to him tonight? We can make that happy… happen.

bb:

Nah, that’s alright. Another night.

Hucka D.:

You are seeing that Grassy’s character is uneven. He’s in Big Four, West Virgnia, trapped in the nylons aisle, at the same time his avatar is visiting the Mossman’s homeland with Gene Fade. Couldn’t happen. And he was fascinated with The Arab and showed up on the blog to talk about it. Yet at the same time… Big Four… trapped. How?

bb:

Is The Arab Finally Married?

—–

bb:

Is The Arab Frigate Matilda?

—–

On [the other] side we have Dr. Blood flanked by Marty and Peter Gabriel. [Also at Marty’s side] is Plant, and near Peter Gabriel is Lemon. Maybe one more on that side: Ives? Cowell? Henry Cow L.? On our side is Baker Bloch flanked by Baker Blinker and Hucka Doobie. Beside Baker Blinker is Karoz Blogger. Beside Karoz is Bracket Jupiter. No Wilsonia? But then you have to have the toy avatars as well, starting with Grassy Noll and perhaps Gene Fade. So Grassy would sit beside Hucka Doobie. The list:

Henry Cow L.?
Lemon
Peter Gabriel
Dr. Blood
Marty
Plant
Bracket Jupiter
Karoz Blogger
Baker Blinker
Baker Bloch
Hucka Doobie
Grassy Noll
Gene Fade

Hucka D.:

And baseball great Joe Oliver.

bb:

Yeah, forgot him.

Hucka D.:

From Atlanta. Has the key. The Key.

bb:

In counting, perhaps we need to keep it to 13 tops.

Hucka D.:

But not getting rid of Oliver. He’s important.

bb:

OK. Maybe Henry Cow L. For now. (pause). Also: Maybe you should sit in the middle for our side, Hucka D., instead of me. Me and Baker Blinker will flank you instead. Karoz on the other side of me, then Grassy on the other side of Baker Blinker. Then Bracket beside Karoz. You face Dr. Blood. You know him better than me, after all.

Hucka D.:

You scared of Dr. Blood, baker b.?

bb:

Maybe not scared…

Hucka D.:

It’s just Tin S. Man. As you know now. Might even be just little ol’ Ray Davies inside. A variant Ray, I mean.

bb:

He doesn’t count because his solo work isn’t used in a carcass, Hucka D. Not yet. That makes him different from all the others sitting on the opposite side: Marty, Lemon, Peter Gabriel, and, well, guess that’s it. Oh: Plant, of course.

Plant:

Hi.

bb:

Hi.

Hucka D.:

So it’s set.

—–

* Just after writing this, I found the correct Oliver baseball player. It’s Al Oliver, not Joe Oliver, who is instead Joe Morgan in the above picture. What a goof-up!

Karoz checking out a Happy location for possible Table meetings

Cayce Do You Mind January 13, 2012

“Where is The Table located?”

“We don’t know,” replies Marty. Others mumble to the same effect.

“What is its shape?”

Same kind of response.

Hucka D. pipes up. “You have just uncovered the identity of Dr. Blood. He is Tin S. Man, formerly of Green Oz Creek and Tinsity. A million dollar Money Pit was buried at this location, then moved. Marty was in charge of the move. Marty is in charge of The Table, or its chairperson. Marty?”

“We don’t know,” he says again, then blushes, realizing he was several lines behind once more. “Uh-hmm,” he utters and adjusts the large volume of papers in his hands, knocking them hard several times against The Table to get the edges straight again. Then he begins thumbing through them nervously; beginning to sweat. Definitely an awkward pause in the action tonight.

—–

Hucka D.:

Well, since Marty isn’t quite ready I’ll pipe up again. You have just uncovered the identity of Dr. Blood. He is Tin S. Man of Tinsity fame, with a 1000000 dollar Money Pit near his home. Marty was in charge of the move. Marty?”

bb:

Excuse me Hucka D. but we’ve already been through this.

—–

The others start to laugh a bit now, and even Marty chuckles some while still trying to [also] get his act together.

—–

I’ll write privately as well, then. Silly variants, hehe.

—–

Dr. Blood:

I am here once more. I am unhappy.

bb:

Dr. Blood (!) Nice to see you around again. Long time.

Dr. Blood:

Not really. Just night before last.

bb:

Oh, you mean Tin S. Man found in the Heart o’ Sunklands.

Dr. Blood:

Beating heart, yes. Still alive, despite your attempts to kill. Chop an arm off there, a leg there, another leg here. Next will be my head. Next will be my heart.

bb:

Are you in charge of the Aotearoa Sink, Dr. Blood?

Dr. Blood:

I am the creator of organization. I wasn’t present at the meeting tonight and all fell apart[ because of it]. I just wanted to show you that. I am the organization. I wasn’t present at the meeting tonight and all fell apart in a way. I simply wanted to demonstrate that… I am the organizer of creation. I am the creator. I am. I.

bb:

Marty is fascinated with his role in The Table. Lemon — not so much.

Dr. Blood:

Marty and The Beetles are more subtly linked. Lemon doesn’t have the close identity. He does to The Beetles as you are trying to do with Sunklands. You don’t understand how long term it will be.

bb:

The Beetles show up most of all, perhaps, in Carcass+, lemee see, Carrcass+6. I had to count backwards in me head there.

Dr. Blood:

OK.

bb:

There is an association between the Sea of Green, famously found in the single Yellow Submarine, and Green Pond, New Jersey. The house involved is painted yellow, and it sits on the shores of this pond… er, lake.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Pond,_New_Jersey

Dr. Blood:

It is the yellow submarine. It has the friends all aboard. Rocking there are Joe, then Fin, then Olivia. Living a life of ease. They are playing, not a band with a trumpet, but just playing, having fun. Every one of them is all they need. It is the yellow submarine. The [yellow] train Joe and Fin chase is another type of yellow submarine. They drive parallel to it; they are the train which is the submarine. They too are having fun there. But they both need Olivia as well and she needs them. It’s just a very nice movie. Very profound in a subtle way.

bb:

Thanks for all that (!) The Beetles, however, trace the whole story of the movie. They are, one could say, locked in with the movie through these 5 songs, Yellow Submarine being the 5th. Balancing it out on the other side of [Carrcass+6] is Eleanor Rigby, the flip side of Yellow Submarine.

Dr. Blood:

Eleanor Rigby is about loss. For Fin, it is loss of his boss, his co-worker, his friend. He must make a long journey and find new friends. He must find a New Land. Newfoundland. Inherited from this same boss, co-worker, friend. But they are lonely in this New York City suburb on the New Jersey side. Hoboken I believe. The shop they work at, a hobby shop, must close now. Fin must make new friends in a New Land.

bb:

So, let’s see, next comes “Drive My Car”.

Dr. Blood:

So where does the lonely person Fin belong? That is the posed question. Where do they all come from, and where do they belong. The movie, however, immortalizes their actions. The movie tells the story of Anyman, who dies and leaves nothing, perhaps, but also something. He is not a Nowhere Man. He leaves something to Fin, and Fin carries on. Fin is an explorer. Fin is a great adventurer. Fin is acting through the soul of his friend. We trace a direct line from Eleanor Rigby to Yellow Submarine through the whole movie. Loneliness to Friendship.

bb:

Thanks. And then “Drive My Car”?

Dr. Blood:

Meeting between Fin and Olivia. Olivia almost runs over Fin not once but twice. These are also the two verses of the song. She can’t drive[ her car]. She is absent minded, spilling hot coffee on her, fiddling around with the groceries. She is unfocused. It is also Olivia and Joe, who she drives to see Fin. She remains uncommited to friendship to the two. Then we have an unexpected shift to Flubber for the final verse. Dr. Brainard too is unfocused, and runs into an apple tree with his car, now flying, or attempting to fly. Flying car represents a yellow submarine again: opposites. Powered by flubber. Olivia is the driver. Joe has no car. Fin has no car. “Flying” is directly attached, then, to “Drive My Car.”

bb:

The Beetles song “Flying”, from Magical Mystery Tour. The only song credited to all 4 Beetles. Their “Dyer Maker”, then (smiles).

Dr. Blood:

[Deepening] the segue to Magical Mystery Tour, after we see [Dr.] Brainard hovering over his girfriend and his rival [from Rutland College] for her hand [ after he straightens out the flying part], we then have the song “Magical Mystery Tour” itself. All aboard for the magical mystery tour is all aboard for Alvin Straight’s magical trip across the bulk of Iowa to see his brother Lyle in western Wisconsin, to make up for bad blood in the past. Alvin is dying — he knows that. Alvin drives a riding mower across Iowa. He too doesn’t have a car and makes do with what he does have. One riding mower goes kaputt; he buys another. This is all his money. Rutland is a linking word. Rutland… Rutles. Beetles parody.

http://www.zappinternet.com/video/ReDqBuwLuj/The-Rutles-Tragical-History-Tour

bb:

That’s so great (!)

Dr. Blood:

You must go to Rutland. Erik Idle is The Rat.

bb:

Yes (!)

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.

No Heart? No Heart. September 18, 2011

“As you guessed, Lisa the Vegetarian had to go back in time to create Piepodt on Wealthy Mountain, baker b. And good evening to you.”

bb:

Thanks Hucka D. Same to you. So… the toy avatars should move over here from Jonesborough, in essence.

Hucka D.:

Is that what *you* want? I mean, Lisa V. wants this, in Timescape. And you should move back into a sink, although I don’t think the sink of Sikkima will be available long term. Maybe Malyshkin again.

bb:

Come to think of it, Gong is sort of protecting itself perhaps by being split between 4 sims. It’s not prudent for any one person or user to own the whole body of water.

Hucka D.:

You can study sinkology from Teepot, though, don’t you think? I’m kind of as confused as you are where to go now.

bb:

Unusual, Hucka D. Are you losing your powers of prediction?

Hucka D.:

May-be. We trying to latch on to a new energy and not sure where the helping hand from above is coming from. Above being the future here.

bb:

Sounds like the hand is that of Lisa the Vegetarian, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Maybe.

bb:

The town that is being created in Timescape beside Quartz Brook on Wealthy Mountain, Hucka D…

Hucka D.:

Look for clues in the area. Trees are important. Not sure… go ahead…

bb:

Not sure I should move my bottles up there.

Hucka D.:

No.

bb:

Let me review a bit. Lisa the Vegetarian dies in Jonesborough — attacked by dogs, the whole compound there I mean — and Marty takes over as leader of the acting colony. Acting leader of the actors, I suppose. But then Lisa goes back in time, in space — Timescape — and creates a new colony on Wealthy Mtn. when coming back to life. She has learned from her mistakes; the colony will be higher on a mountain now, more protected from potentially ravaging wildlife.

Hucka D.:

The rhododendron helps protect, yes. There’s only one way in and one way out, in essence.

bb:

Lisa the V. sees the future where she meets her one, true love, but it turns out this lover is death himself, a him from Lisa’s perspective. Appearing as well are robots which turn out to be “mere” Tinmen, Oz Tinmen that is, appearing as if in a play or casting for a play. Tin Soldier Men.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Good.

bb:

Trees are without heart. Not real. You have to kick them sometime for the hologram to turn on, as it were.

Hucka D.:

Future without a heart.

bb:

I think Lisa may have been killed by a fox-dog, Hucka D. Fox on the trot. Foxtrot. Perhaps of Christian persuasion.

Hucka D.:

She was killed by a Fox named Sikkima, the same as the sim directly below Rubi. The fox comes from a sink… Sikkima is related to the word sink.

bb:

Then maybe that’s where I should buy, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Catacombs.

bb:

I also think Lisa’s new town was called Newberg at first.

Hucka D.:

We go sideways into new knowledge[ here].

bb:

Sikkima has certain always got low ratings from me, Hucka D. But, really, there’s nothing left in the sim much.

Hucka D.:

You will not move to Sikkima, no. But be aware of the variant reality where you *are* there. Sik… sink. The 14th.

bb:

Hold on. I’ll get a picture while there’s nothing in that sink.

There’s another spirit [stuck] in the Rubi Forest, Hucka D. Searchman7 Resident — nothing in the profile. I wonder if it stands for Seaman — probably not. Kind of looks like a sperm…

Hucka D.:

Don’t go there.

bb:

Is it Lisa the Vegetarian looking for a new womb?

Lisa:

No.

bb:

Hi Lisa.

Lisa:

Buy in Sikkima. I was killed by a trotting fox. I need a new colony. Sikkima. 14th sink. Please.

bb:

Don’t think I can afford it, Lisa… can I call you just Lisa?

Lisa:

Yes.

bb:

Is this you and Marty?:

Lisa:

Yes. Marty took over when I was killed by the trotting fox. You turned around at Foxtrot today to backtrack to where you were suppose to go. Which was my mountain. Wealthy Mountain.

bb:

How did you make your fortune, Lisa?

Lisa:

Quartz.

Hucka D.:

Lisa must head off into the sinking sunset now, baker b. Quartz as in quartz of milk, I should add. Quartz of something something. One thing, Plastic Man, which becomes many, Plastic People.

14th sink.

—–

I simply can’t see giving up Teepot at this point in favor of something else, even if terraforming is increased. There must be substantial fiction to Teepot. Rivalry. Yeosol. Yeot and Yeosol. Jeogeot mysticism — isn’t dead, then. No.

Crabwoo > Pietmond June 15, 2011

Eerie death skull effect spotted by Baker Bloch next to the recently given up Crabwoo rental property, and partially formed from one of his own high prim Linden trees still on that parcel. Hope it’s not a bad omen. Meaning?

Heading quickly back to Pietmond and happier things, here’s the latest overhead shot of the re-emerging village…

… and a photo of the recently reinstalled Cathedral Way, although a bit shorter to the north (behind Baker Bloch here) and with a more grown up feel vegetation-wise. Off this way is now found the Gallery in the Rocks, just visible through the brown cedar tree to the left and essentially in its original place in the village.

A rudimentary form of Pietmond’s old Underground has also been installed now, connecting Cathedral Way and Main Way through a passage dug underneath the TILE Temple and its labyrinth.

Entrance to this new “Underground” from Main Way.

The most condensed version of the Blue Feather Gallery, last seen in Mujgae on the edge of my old Noru forest, has also been moved to Pietmond, seen in its new place on the left side of the second snapshot above, between and in back of House Greenup and House of Truth on Pietmond’s west side.

Is everything now finished on the ground aspect of New Pietmond? Perhaps. And I still have close to half my alloted prims in Otaki Gorge to experiment on some kind of larger skybox. A return of Gallery Jack?

So among the old ways, Long Way, No Way and Peter’s Way have yet to return, and perhaps never will. Let’s see what Hucka D. has to say tonight, if anything.

Hucka D.:

I’m here. Howdy.

bb:

Hey Hucka D. Pietmond is sprouting up again.

Hucka D.:

Death to Crabwoo, life to Pietmond once more. Good.

bb:

I want to ask about Fisher Rigg tonight if I might. I believe that Peter SoSo was sent to Fisher Rigg, or the general area, from Crabwoo, perhaps right after he graduated.

Hucka D.:

That is right. He helped develop the crop circle effect that began what we presently know as the Corsica continent. Then, the name Corsica was instead applied to the Maebaleia or Satori or Japanese continent. Peter helped move this appellation. Fisher Rigg was the center or pivot of the rotating circle that resulted. Peter lived in the Rabbit House. He became more strongly related to rabbits and hares at this time. Peter SoSo then came in contact, through this circle, with Peter the Good, already present on Corsica to the west. This is like your Jenny Lane originally forming a circle around your neighborhood, before a decision was made to not make it a loop and only pave part of that road. The two processes are associated.

bb:

Thanks for that, Hucka D. Very interesting. Is the crow Pennsylvania, formerly at the center of the Crabwoo crop circle or one of the two larger circles there, involved in the processes you mention?

Hucka D.:

Pennsylvania was understood to be at the center of the process, yes. It emerged at the end. It demanded that the road not be paved to the south the two parts of the continent be united, east and west. Peewee became Big at this time. Like at WES in West End.

bb:

Peter came in contact with Marty and the rest of The Beetles in WES, then (!)

Hucka D.:

Right. A decision was made to bring in The Residents to Corsica to seal the deal. This has to do with Yd Island as well. The Corsica circle helped protect from continued, vestigial influences of the original virtual reality set up in Constantinople during Roman-Byzantine times. That virtual reality had to die, and continue to die. Fishers Rest made certain of that, and the domino effect caused by that original, er, tiling. This is beyond the power of Peter the Good, who had to yield to Peter SoSo. (pause)

bb:

Is Peter the Good the father of Peter SoSo, Hucka D.? Or the reincarnation of Peter SoSo?

Hucka D.:

It is complicated. But: yes on both counts. Peter the Great begat Peter the Good begat Peter SoSo. Three-in-one. 4orrin1.

bb:

How did Peter SoSo end up in Pietmond?

Hucka D.:

Through Marty. Through Plant. Blue Feather Douglas had become or transformed into [the equivalent of] Little Robert Plant Variant already by swallowing the Zeppelin tube and acquiring Golden Throat. But at the same time Little Robert Plant Variant gave up this very same tube and joined the [Sunklands] initiative, trapping Blue Feather Douglas on Maebaleia.

bb:

What is “Old Flat Top” who comes grooving up slowly?

Hucka D.:

Flat Top is Yards, from which Yards Creek springs forth. Measured in feet; The Measure. Far and yd influence.

bb:

But it represents a place of contact.

Hucka D.:

Yes. (pause)

bb:

What is the meaning of the carrcass in the spring at the head of Yards Creek?

Hucka D.:

TILE Creek has become Yards Creek. TILE Mountain has become Yards Mountain.

bb:

More mundane, then?

Hucka D. (after a pause):

Yes.

bb:

Hand Spring has been de-energized.

Hucka D.:

For the moment, yes.

bb:

Lemme see. Hold on please…

*****

bb:

I think I’m missing something on the Nautilus continent, Hucka D. Something about the MASH related sims and the sea there.

Hucka D.:

*Yes.* Ruustre.

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!
