And so, with Gideon Television's eviction from the house, Big Brother in Second Life is over for the YesButNoButYes team. The remaining contestants will continue until the winner is crowned on Jan 4th. I want to let all YBNBY SL readers that our official endorsement passes on to TheDiva Rockin, so if you can, please stop by and vote for her in the next week. And if you ask nicely, she may take her top off and pole dance for you. She promised YesButNo a rusty shack on her otherwise idyllic paradise island if she wins.

Judging from some of the comments I've read, some of you can breathe a sigh of relief as we return to our usual fair of humor and pop culture, but I wanted to take the opportunity to post one final set of thoughts from my own perspective on what Endemol got right - or wrong - with their attempt to translate a real world phenomenon into a virtual landscape.

It's going to be long and self-indulgent, so only click the link if you're both a Second Life aficionado AND glutton for punishment.

Women always try to give guys what they want. Audio might be a little bit NSFW.

It's part of The Cat's Christmas today at Miss Cellania.

I don't even know what Dragon Ball Z is, but this shit is funny.

(Is that Phyllis Diller?)

Candy and Christmas. They go together like Britney and the Norelco cordless razor.

- Candy Cigarettes...for the friend trying to quit, or the ten year old trying to start.
- The Star Wars Pez dispenser set. Buy a dozen and take care of the entire IT department.
- And a bucket of Bazooka. The only choice for serious bubble gum afficion...affision...lovers.

Welcome back, Andy. We missed ya.

(Andy, Moose, Randy Johnson, Chien-Ming Wang and Rocket?)

- And Jim and Tammy Faye begat Jay, and Jay begat his own church, and Sundance bebought it.
- You know Those wacky Nigerians who want to send you a small fortune? Well, ABC's on the case.
- Hey Screw you! I like cheetos, AND I like Rush. What's so cheesy about that? (PS: Go Cowboys!)
- Burning skylines, flooded cities, third world refugees...Legos, they're fun for the whole family. Video
- And can you believe they give this away for free in the subways. Surrender Monkeys...priceless.
