I promised Lori (oh….about a zillion years ago—that a zillion 2nd life years, not real life years)
that I would write something for the blog. Well….finally….here it is. I title these words of wisdom:
how does a cheapskate find free room and board in 2nd life.
Well first off, ALL the free food and all the free drinks taste like one-day old pixels.
I would NOT spend a lot of time nosing around for free board.
On the other hand, the free room comes in real handy when you want a private place
to change clothes (hmmmm…..everyone who knows me already knows that I know
what I like—if I like what I am wearing, why should I change clothes).
P.S. if you have a girlfriend then you might not want to follow my advice
—women seem to appreciate clothes that smell freshly washed, especially if you use
nice-smelling fabric softener. Obviously, if you have a girlfriend, then you will need a free room
for those intimate moments when you two are…how shall we say…
discussing the presidential election.
So…I am drifting off topic. How do you score a free room? That is easy.
If anyone you meet says they own land then you ask them if you can have a small spot
for your dog house. When they ask if you own a dog, you look at them with BIG puppy dog eyes
and say “no…. it’s for me… every time I try to sleep on the park bench, neighborhood vampires
try to sneak in a free bite.” Before you try this technique, I suggest you spend an hour or two in front
of a mirror to get the perfect sad puppy dog look.
There is only one downside to this technique. Your girlfriend will think you are pathetic loser
and walk away. So… I have to ask… why do I need a free room?
Oh, by the way, in case anyone is wondering… yes… I do have my own room.
And yes, I do pay rent on it. Last month, I paid $0. I am hoping the landlord doesn’t double
the rent next month.
