| Cheyenne on Her Spit with Big Fire |
Written 28 July, 2007
Avatar Barbecue!
Sweetie and I were out adventuring when we saw them-- giant drinking birds! The holy grail of Second Life silliness!
They were on Sploland, a sim which seems to be dedicated to exactly the sort of silliness to which Sweetie and I dedicate our second lives.
I mean, there wasn't just one giant drinking bird-- there was an entire row of them! And there was an avatar cannon, and rides, and--
And an avatar barbecue!
We met a very nice lady named Kirra Ball, who works at Sploland, and she showed us around. We told her about our Well of Death, and she was intrigued. We made a deal-- she could build a well of death and we could build an avatar barbecue.
And so I did.
It was easy enough-- two uprights with a fork for the spit, a spit (rotisserie), a script to pose an av in roasting position, a fire, and a sign warning avatars to UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES jump on the grill.
Of COURSE such a sign will guarantee that no avatar will EVER have an unfortunate incident with the barbecue grill.
:)
Guess how long it took sweetie to jump on?'

I saw Skyler Coswell bonfire at Black Rock Mesa. It came with about ten poseballs circling it-- war dance.
Mr. Coswell was kind enough to make a set of poseballs without hover text for me.
It will be fun to get a bunch of friends together some time and dance around the fire, but I had a more immediate use for Mr. Coswell's bonfire.
I put it under the barbecue rotisserie.
The result was disturbing.
When the fire was small, the effect was sort of cute, but with a big roaring fire the visuals were a bit scary; I felt a bit like Jean d'Arc as the flames leapt about me as I tried the rotisserie.
Now the rotisserie has a nice small fire.

Wow! Now you will be able to have avatar barbecue at Pele! I want to get roasted too! LOL!
Those who won't jump into the volcano will have a second chance to get roasted if they jump on the grill. ;-)
And after all this roasting, nothing better than to have a refreshing jump into the Well of Death! :-D
We at Pele are constantly wracking our brains for new and improved methods of avatar destruction.
:)
I have to say that I had to doubletake at Sweetie's pink sari, because on a spit, it makes her look flayed and grilled somewhat.
It's not an unreasonable assumption, if a gory one....
