Catch CBS evening news last night? "I wanna be a wild animal!" -Shieffer

[helderheid]

Last story about virtual world "Second Life" - Bob Shieffer at the end of the story says with a crazy glint in his eyes "I wanna be a wild animal!" - anyone else catch this? Good god! I'd love to have that clip!

1. Get down on it, Bob

Grrr.

:rofl:

[originalpckelly]

3. I wish he was going to stay...

I hate Katie Couric...Bob Schieffer is the one who has saved this newscast because he is an actual reporter. Plus he isn't as weird as Dan Rather.

[wtmusic]

5. I hear you

Couric has no depth, and though I always liked Rather's reporting, he always looked like he was about to fall apart. :scared:

2. Yes, I caught that

I'm gonna miss him.

[helderheid]

4. me too!

7. Second LIfe RAWKS ! ! !

If you haven't been "inworld" yet, you have NO IDEA what you are missing. Here's the clip btw.

9. thanks! I'm addicted to Sims2 but this looks so tempting. Thanks too

for the link - too bad it cuts off before Bob chimes in with that gem!

13. Second Life blows the Sims out of the water.

I mean it is no comparison. Hands down the most addicting thing online.

[helderheid]

14. You see, that's what I'm afraid of! Especially since you have to

buy stuff.

[QuettaKid]

16. technically, you don't HAVE to buy stuff

but even better you CAN SELL stuff and make REAL LIFE $$$ with SL. I am telling you, it is beyond addicting. Trust me on this one.

[helderheid]

17. wanna refer me? I saw some link on there about referring friends

Would be fun to have some DUers there!

6. this post gives me my first good belly laugh today, thanks HH

8. So, we can expect to find him in the 'furries' section of Second Life?

Like a blue cat-man or something?

Now I wish I hadn't had that thought.....

[helderheid]

21. OH MY EYES!!!

hhahahah

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. When Scheiffer first started, my wife and I were like WTF?

Now, we find the senile old guy endearing. I wanna be a wild animal! We spit out whatever we were eating. I think he's secretly brilliant.

[helderheid]

12. my husband and I burst into laughter!

[peekaloo]

11. and hopefully roam the halls of CBS's upper management looking

for food.

[helderheid]

15. bwahahaha!

[Javaman]

18. I checked out second life, I thought it was pretty lame.

Personally, I enjoy my real life a whole lot more.

19. :)

20. Here is a quick little video intro. that shows

how simple it is to build ANYTHING in SL. Literally, if you can imagine it, you can build it in here.

[helderheid]

22. emmm where is the video :)

[QuettaKid]

24. sorry. it's right here.
