Sir Phil Slays The Beast

by Adric Antfarm on September 3, 2010

All is forgiven of Hamlet looking at this image of the brave knight, Sir Phil, upon his sturdy kitty bearing down on the evil emerald beast.

Free Xue is the artist and she roxers my boxers.

Memories Burn

by Adric Antfarm on September 3, 2010

I've seen The Outsiders 100+ times.  I never get tired of seeing the story of Tulsa years ago since in many ways some things never change.  Ponyboy is the West Tulsa outsider and The Socs from South Tulsa are by birth the insiders.    It's a bit like Second Life actually, but I like the view from the West side, thank you.

The author based this story on rival gangs at Will Rogers High in Tulsa where the movie was filmed.  Watching the movie is a treat to any local who calls out the locations like the drive-in.

That drive-in is the Admiral Twin that was open from 1951 until just a few hours ago.   I've been there many times, but all we have now to remember it will be this movie.   The Tulsa World has the full story and lots of sad pictures.

The New Emerald

by Adric Antfarm on September 3, 2010

You don't see anyone starting the new Enron or the new BP, but I  have a feeling this is not the last new Emerald we see.

It even has a clever name!  Phoenix Viewer!  Get it?  From the ashes?  No?  Me neither.  Reminds me of a hot and dry place.

A Grid Without Emerald: Day Two

September 2, 2010

Sources tell us in response to the escalating Emerald crisis, Governor Linden has activated the Grid National Guard.   We attempted to reach Governor Linden for comment and got the following response; "Thanks for looking at my profile! Unfortunately, I'm usually not able to answer IM. If you need help, please use the Help menu for [...]

The Red Menace Was There Before You

September 2, 2010

Seems like everyone wants a crack at Emerald these days.  Sort of like beating on a tied up eight year old girl jacked up on cough syrup, but I know having a blog without talking cats and such calls for desperate measures. Back in April this display of your manhood was much less easy.  You [...]

Works of Art

September 2, 2010

You know, this piece of art looks very familiar…. Indeed it is.  Dale wrote about a gallery a while back and this very piece was there.  We both admired it, but he spent his $L on it while I invested my adult budget on Russian amateurs videos.  No, I do not share, but Dale is [...]

Coping with Loss

September 2, 2010

Headburro Antfarm, a distant cousin (from the decent Antfarm branch), wrote a piece today on the AOL 100 FREE HOURS! CD nature of the Emerald blog postings which I liked (we all love to see our name even if not deserved).   At the time I just agreed too many people were blogging the same damn [...]

A Time of Sadness (and Paranoia) in Emerald Town

September 2, 2010

I wanted to see if Emerald was still working on the grid, so I downloaded the latest version and hoped on with an account I don't care about.  Seems this is that account I got via Emerald (some site that lets you have a larger name selection) since it's in their group and has home [...]

Emerald Dies of 10,000 Paper Cuts

September 1, 2010

In the end, it seems a selfish asshole has killed Emerald when all else could not.  How apt. Linden made a demand three questionable devs leave the project or the viewer would be blocked from the grid.  Two agreed to step down, one did not.    Um…  what?   You are not the big green machine you [...]
