Why not? There are already plenty of nobs flying around in Second Life. What’s a few more?

i’ve got my fingers crossed for a flying phalus assault. i hope it get’s trolled so hard.

jummy on March 8, 2007 at 10:08 PM

What about the brothel/crack hotel next to the convention?

Send in KP for a peek.

Theworldisnotenough on March 8, 2007 at 10:08 PM

she looks like the helen hunt muppet from team america.

jummy on March 8, 2007 at 10:09 PM

I forgot about the raining schlongs, HA!

Dude… Bush as Godzilla barbeques the convention! Awesome.

Nah, don’t say that. I wouldn’t want our side getting trolled if we put together something like this. Which, god willing, we’d never, ever do.

Allahpundit on March 8, 2007 at 10:13 PM

it’s going to be held on “progressive island,” a desolate square of real estate containing an anemic collection of carpets and agitprop images which serves as a meetingspace for the sl nutroots (thursdays at noon), a half-constructed igloo billing itself as the un, a pathetic “draft clark” campaign space inexplicably styled after the wwii memorial, and this.

“What is Second Life? It’s an online website game where we can indoctorinate and brain wash your impressionable young children into rebelious hellions who will spit on their parents, but follow Marcos like all good little brown shirt nazis should! Looking forward to seeing you in Second Life!”

true.

but the penis slingers are an apolitical force who just hold anything smacking of seriousness in contempt. wishing for their intervention is like wishing for a snow day. i retract my wish but i won’t regret the smile i’ll wear if it happens.

for what its worth, i’ve seen nutroots trolls attacking the sl republicans. but, as you said, two wrongs don’t make a right.

i’d actually put the median age at 28.

jummy on March 8, 2007 at 10:27 PM

Which, god willing, we’d never, ever do.

So I guess “Allahpalooza” is out of the question, then?

C’mon…it would be like the H.O.R.D.E. festival.

Only with nerds.

Slublog on March 8, 2007 at 10:30 PM

So, those Kossacks chose not to get a real girl to do an advert?

Mmm, tells you something, doesn’t it?.

Sure AP, we got you. You don’t want to have anything to do with any “accidents” at the annual Kos hate-fest.
“Lovely virtual convention you got here, I would hate to see it get trolled

For some reason, the head moving underneath the stationary hair is creeping me out.

flipflop on March 8, 2007 at 10:38 PM

no, no, no. let’s not feed their paranoia. forget i ever mentioned it.

jummy on March 8, 2007 at 10:39 PM

hmmmm…

jummy on March 8, 2007 at 10:32 PM

You’re catching the vision!

Allah, standing on a stage with a garth brooks microphone.

It will be awesome.

jummy on March 8, 2007 at 10:42 PM

Hm…not a bad choice, but “Reelin’ in the Years” might hit too close to home for a lot of us.

Slublog on March 8, 2007 at 10:44 PM

nah dude. only a fool is the center-right anthem.

jummy on March 8, 2007 at 10:49 PM

Chicago! Yeh, I can protest them.

Bill C on March 8, 2007 at 10:51 PM

They’re not kiddin’ me one bit.
THAT was a WIG!
Gina Cooper is every bit as bald as Britney Spears.

CyberCipher on March 8, 2007 at 10:53 PM

Will funds be made available for those Kossacks that are unable to afford the $25 entry fee? There should be progressive pricing to ensure that those Kossacks at or near poverty level would be able to attend at no cost.

rw on March 8, 2007 at 10:55 PM

how weird and sad and creepy is that…a virtual world where people create avatars to make a fake self…and then interact with other fakes…ewwwww…this just seems so weird…I actually prefer humans, the real kind, warts and all.

JustTruth101 on March 8, 2007 at 10:58 PM

Bill C …, drop me a line, I’ll protest with you.

We can get good and liquored up, grab us some hippie chicks, do some hackey sack and recite really bad poetry … oh, the fun!

I’ll make sure to stop showering in mid-July.

yo on March 8, 2007 at 11:02 PM

Hey Allah, hows bout you and I sign up for Yearly Kos in Second Life, and crash the convention. Though, two’s such a couple, bring Michelle, Ian, Bryan and a few other Conservatives, and we could have our own little party! Whadda ya say?

amerpundit on March 8, 2007 at 11:03 PM

“ARE YOU READY TO POLITIC!?!?!”

haha! I’m envisioning the whole scene and it’s cracking me up!

forged rite on March 8, 2007 at 11:08 PM

I agree, the hair was creepy, so were the eyes.
Kinda hot for pixilated poon though.
If I took her back to my cyber-pad, would the hair follow? I need to know this before I bit it.

dingoatemebaby on March 8, 2007 at 11:20 PM

Okay, who is going to go as Breck Girl?

WisCon on March 8, 2007 at 11:28 PM

Jummy, yo, whoever is in the Chicagoland area. Let’s meet at the closet bar to the event.

Jummy, I would email you but I have no idea how.

And it makes me wonder….

Heh. “Kos-sacks.” Heh.

Sean M:

Heh. “Kos-sacks.” Heh.

It’s funny that it sounds like “co-sacks”.

MayBee on March 9, 2007 at 12:17 AM

Is “toolish” a Websters-recognized word yet?

If not, this video must’ve pushed it over the edge. You could haul a feral child out of the woods who had never seen a fellow human being in his life, sit him down in front of that video, and he would eventually utter, “Tool-ish…”

Thanks, y’all. Looking forward to seeing you in Second Life.

*Shudder*

If I wanted to see a soulless avatar waxing Southern at me from behind dead eyes, I’d replay Hillary’s Selma speech.

Second Life? First they need to get a life.

Mojave Mark on March 9, 2007 at 12:50 AM

I just hope they have some virtual carbon offsets for all the hot air.

Ian on March 9, 2007 at 12:52 AM

This gives me such evil ideas. . . but alas, it’s not the kind of things our side does so I will restraine myself.

Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies” ?

Ava-tarbabies?

This digital-veils within CGI-veils id-fest is as cloyingly sickly as William Gibson’s footnote posing as a novel: “Idoru“.

I’d prefer to xerox and fax a real butt.

Which would only need a smiley face drawn on it to fit the goopy ghost personas of these Kos-lings.

profitsbeard on March 9, 2007 at 1:23 AM

Which, god willing, we’d never, ever do.

Allahpundit on March 8, 2007 at 10:13 PM

Is Allah suddenly a religious man? Hmmmm

As for what would happen if we were to attempt to have a convention at a physical location, you can guarantee that the KosBots would be posting the address all over the internet in hopes that terrorists would make it a target.

You know the most common comment would be something like …

“God willing, Yousef will drive his rental truck through the front door.”

Gregor on March 9, 2007 at 1:55 AM

Errr, it probably would have been more accurate to write …

“God willing, Mike Stark will drive his rental truck through the front door.”

Gregor on March 9, 2007 at 2:20 AM

Avatards.

James on March 9, 2007 at 8:02 AM

Oh my goodness, this is a joke right?
Why couldn’t they do it in World of Warcraft? A guild war between Libs and Cons would be awesome.

SouthernDem on March 9, 2007 at 8:27 AM

but the penis slingers are an apolitical force who just hold anything smacking of seriousness in contempt.

That is the point the nutroots are completely missing, they are convinced the Edwards attack was Republican based, when in all probability the perps would attack a Republican presence just as hard. These people go to a virtual world to escape reality, and resent it when reality intrudes. Kos, or any other real world political entity, are going to have problems if they trespass.

This is great, as war rages on the frontiers, the Left copes by inviting more to sink further into unreality.

naliaka on March 9, 2007 at 9:32 AM

BWAHAHAHA! They want people to pay $25 to go to an online convention? P.T. Barnum would be proud.

Kahuna on March 9, 2007 at 9:52 AM

For some reason, the head moving underneath the stationary hair is creeping me out.

flipflop on March 8, 2007 at 10:38 PM

Noticed this too. It’s like a hair tent.

The Ritz on March 9, 2007 at 10:05 AM

Can you make tinfoil hats in Second Life?

budorob on March 9, 2007 at 10:21 AM

Poor Second Life. I’ll bet they didn’t expect to hold the worlds first massive multiplayer online suicide.

Right Tracker on March 9, 2007 at 10:31 AM

Yearly Kos is so five minutes ago!

RedinBlueCounty on March 9, 2007 at 11:38 AM

I thought liberals were supposed to be all artistic. So why didn’t they know to parent the hair to the head?

I’m a 3D hack and I know better than that.

jtdavies on March 9, 2007 at 3:17 PM

Didga Notice:

The speaker avatar’s head moves idependently of her hair?

Actually her hair is stationary, just her head and face underneath move.

Creepy.

Lawrence on March 9, 2007 at 3:29 PM

Chicago??

They’re coming here???

I’m scared. So very scared.

SouthernDem on March 9, 2007 at 8:27 AM

I’m shocked to hear myself saying this, but I don’t think the people that play WOW are big enough dorks to do something like that.

If I wanted to see a soulless avatar waxing Southern at me from behind dead eyes, I’d replay Hillary’s Selma speech.

flip on March 9, 2007 at 12:44 AM

Thanks for that, it made me smile.
