The bruises show that she's old!OR THEY COULD DO THAT: Helen Thomas and Bob Schieffer, the two oldest people currently wandering around your front yard, will be hosting a Q&A next week — in Second Life. Paultards are expected to slaughter them. Or is that the other game that they play? This is vulgar. [New World Notes]

Helen Thomas in Second Life? This is just cruel.

MARCdMan March 31, 2009 at 3:37 pm

Wonder what they’ll think of all the blue furry avatars with dongs longer than they are tall?

ManchuCandidate March 31, 2009 at 3:41 pm

A mix of Old people, 2nd Life, furries and Paultards. I can’t see possibly anything going wrong there.

Will they be having some sexytime in this second life? And how does one vomit in the “second life?”

You guys laugh, but my sources tell me that Helen Thomas has been slaughtering Orcs in World of Warcraft for years now and intends to show up in Second Life fully armed along with her pillaging party of Knights, Dark Elves and Halflings. They will then proceed to slaughter every “living” being they encounter in Second Life, showing special cruelty to the Paultards.

Second Life? Someone really pulled a fast one on the Olds.

NoWireHangers March 31, 2009 at 3:43 pm

They should have asked John Edwards about Second Life before signing up for an old fashioned poo-slinging.

This has disaster written all over it.

On the other hand, Helen did end up with a facelift on her avatar.

DON’T GRIEF HELEN THOMAS!

[re=277744]Serolf Divad[/re]: That would be the best thing ever.

I can’t get past “renowned avatar customizer.” That’s someone who does portraits in MS Paint that look nothing like their subjects (and not in a Picassoesque kinda way, either). Apparently I’ve been a renowned avatar customizer for years and didn’t know it.

@MARCdMan: My fur is mocha brown, and my dong is reasonably sized, thankyewverymuch. I have pictures on my Flickr account, if you’re interested. No? ‘K.

No, the real question is, will Helen have enormous, gravity-defying boobs? And how good are Bob Schieffer’s cyberfucking skills? Will the two of them demonstrate? It would be a metaphor, if they did, about the current state of the media coverage of…oh, who am I kidding?

Curse you, Jim Newell, for making me wonder if I’ll be fapping to Helen Thomas and Bob Schieffer in the near future!

Helen Thomas in Second Life?
The end is near.

Dave J. March 31, 2009 at 3:51 pm

I am totally going to submit a question using the name Leroy Jenkins. FTW. Also.

Now that I think about it, why does Bob’s avatar look like a 80 yr old Dr. Drew?

bitchincamaro March 31, 2009 at 4:07 pm

What is this Second Life of which you speak? I am familiar with Sim City only.

snideinplainsight March 31, 2009 at 4:38 pm

Bob S: So now we’d like to open the session up for questions. Anyone? Anyone?

HT: Hunt those filthy Orcs back into the holes from whence they came! Slay and slay! Mount their leader’s head to my truncheon, and carry it through yon city as a warning!

Bob S: Ms. Thomas, I’m sure, has a career’s worth of anecdotes and personal insight into the ethics of journalism and particularly as they pertain to the conduct of the presidential press pool. Helen?

HT: Prepare the chain guns and the vorpal scythe! We shall show them no mercy on this day of retribution! Let these gutters run green with Orcish ichors! We crush their skulls! We eat their hearts!

Bob S: Well, maybe we could take a brief break and come back after a – oh, I see a question there. Yes?

Audience: Is that a +5 withering cleaver you’re wielding, Ms. Thomas?

bitchincamaro March 31, 2009 at 4:45 pm

[re=277856]snideinplainsight[/re]: Nice.

snideinplainsight March 31, 2009 at 4:56 pm

HT: We shall countenance no living Orc on this field ere nightfall, mark me! Nor goblin, nor hobgoblin, nor kobold nor bugbear nor even troll or dark gnome, lest they bow before our colors and snivel for quarter! March forth, dogs, lest you die abed in dottage! Witness now the full measure of Elven steel!

Lionel Hutz Esq. April 1, 2009 at 4:12 am

Look out Paultards! It’s a trap!

Aloysius April 1, 2009 at 1:15 pm

Wait, Helen Thomas is real?

sanantonerose April 2, 2009 at 1:49 am

This news almost makes me want to join Second Life. Just so I can hang out with Helen Thomas. Almost.
