So earlier tonight I ended up at the Old Orientation Stations at Dore. There's a section of the Destination Guide called Second Life Origins and there's all these old places to visit, either again or for the first time. This place basically has the tutorials that the first residents of SL went through back in 2003. Most of the tutorials are basically still business as usual. But then I came across this parrot. And I remember this parrot from my own orientation [which actually happened a month after I joined SL since I was immediately teleported to a club within about 5 minutes of rezzing into SL].

Now this parrot said if I wanted some money, I just had to ask for a kiss. So I did.
No money.
Not that I was expecting any, of course. God knows that parrot is old as heck & the script inside is probably broken.
Oh, but if you go, don't fly over to the Orientation Island Public. I made the mistake of doing that and as I got closer, I heard people talking on voice. None of the people sitting around appeared to be new since they had last names, and they were all basically calling each other names. I know most newbies start somewhere else now, and probably most of them don't go to the public island, but if I were brand new and my first experience with SL was a bunch of people standing around using bad language and picking on each other, I'd probably leave and never come back!!
But that's a post for another day.
