The most powerful force in the universe, “dibs” is used to call possession of a certain object or idea. “Dibs” is a time honored tradition to all, except one… I saw the “Prenzlau” Armchair & Side Table by Kusshon as I was looking at the previews of the Peace on Earth Hunt and I immediately called “dibs”. She looked at me as if I was speaking in a foreign language (which, technically, I was because she uses too many vowels in her words). I found the definition and pasted it into chat. It was like she couldn’t read it. She then rezzed the chair and said “Oh, do you mean THIS chair?” It’s funny how she remembers the story differently [HERE]. (Ok, the part about watching pretty blondes in spandex and capes was true) It was at that point I knew for certain that she either doesn’t understand “dibs” or just completely ignored it. My money is on ignoring me as she does that most the time anyhow…
And now, back to our regularly scheduled post…
The cat doesn’t sit on his lap. He CHOOSES to sit under the feline. He doesn’t light a cigar. The cigar spontaneously lights as it touches his lips. He is the most interesting man in the world (who believes in “dibs”). And what does the most interesting man in the world wear? The Formal Men’s Suit by Wilson’s Designs as Part of the Peace on Earth Hunt. The hunt officially starts tomorrow and everyone is as excited as a child on Christmas Eve holding a plate of cookies for Santa. I’d call “dibs” on the plate of cookies, but I have a feeling I know how that would turn out…

I was at home doing a little holiday decorating while he was sprawled out on the sofa watching Supergirl, half in and out of sleep. I asked him if he wanted to help, but he declined with some kind of a completely committed head shake that oddly enough didn’t rattle his eyeballs off of the TV screen. I really knew better than to try to compete with spandex and capes, but I thought I’d ask.
I continued on my merry way, humming jingle bells and rezzing out all of the holiday decor, and came across a really nice holiday printed chair by Kusshon for the Peace on Earth Hunt. I rez it out with it’s cute little side table and before I could sit in it – HE yells “DIBS!” from the sofa. Where did that even come from? He was in “the dork zone”! “What?” I responded and he says it again “DIBS!” as he flies across the room and sits in MY chair! I nearly dropped my break-a-balls (that’s what I used to call the glass ball ornaments on the tree that I wasn’t allowed to place as a kid – Mom called them breakables but that’s not what my little ears heard and then it stuck).
This is really becoming a longer story than I wanted it to be, so here’s where it shortens up. We fought furiously over the chair for 2 long days, until we realized that… it’s copy and we can both have one. -.- I rezzed one out for him too, but as you can see from the photo, he’s still a little grumpy-cat. It will be a miracle if we can sit together in these chairs peacefully by Christmas Day.

You might be squinting your eyes to see the very tiny person outside the window lol… This chick used to own this land… (note, I’ve been here a year) and just never moved out! I banned her a few months ago lol because she doesn’t speak – just stands there lol, and now she rezzes in right outside my land. OI! lolol I suppose I’ll never be lonely.
