Actually I’m not going to say much more except to point out that there are a number of phallic references connected to Finger, TN below.

Finger, Tennessee:

History
According to tradition, the city received its name when the townspeople upon deciding a suitable name noticed a man’s passionate hand gestures.[4]
The Finger Diner was the original model for the Hard Rock Cafe chain.[5]

Joe Pye weeds of Finger Island, with flowers a bit past their peak color.
The Finger from its tip. So regular and un-natural seeming.
This is the place off the path running along the northern shore of Finger Lake where I accessed the island. I suppose the associated rock pictured below becomes Access Rock? You simply cross the trunk of a small fallen tree just below the rock to easily reach the island. I would guess Finger Island is a third as big as the whole lake itself. Could be overestimating this.
Weeds along the trail. We are definitely on the doorstep of autumn.
These stepping stone style rocks are where I cross Leola Creek below the Finger Lake dam to get to the most southern part of Rediscovery.
Nearby elongated rock in the center of the creek.
Looking back toward the dam from the crossing.
A house probably marking the eastern edge of Rediscovery, where wilderness meets civilization again.
And then we come to locations from the next day, which would be yesterday as I’m writing this text. This is the first time this summer — and years and years actually — that I’ve explored this region, which can be accessed by an old road splitting off from Water Plant Road to the *south* (as Rediscovery lies north of this same road). Much more woods are found here, with multiple old roads crossing the area. The below photo depicts a more open area in these woods.
These snapshots comes from the edge of a a torn down plant once making top secret electronics.

Cattails of Bigfeet Swamp. For now, I’m reverting the name of the area surrounding this swamp to Bigfoot (instead of Bigfeet), but the swamp retains the changed name. I do this for google search reasons, and the need to keep hiding my local woodsy finds from, well, the locals.
*Bigfeet* Swamp intake in *Bigfoot*, then. Confusing? Well, tuff. 🙂
Then it’s over to Finger Lake in Rediscovery again. Nice green algae at the bottom, but this is suppose to represent the reservoir we get the town’s drinking water from? Hmm.
The Finger of Finger Lake once more.
Upstream: the banned waterhole again. In the center of the photo you can see a rather complex rock cairn that has formed on one of its larger rocks since last weekend. Nice.
Waterhole > Finger Lake, its namesake, weed bedecked island ablaze in the sun. Actually about the only thing you can make out on the island is the small Pinkie peninsula, emerging from the near side of the overexposed region and pointing right at us.
Finger Island and another mysterious thing about it: what appears to be some kind of purposeful stick creation near its eastern tip. Looks human-made to me.
More close up. What is the purpose of this?
Discolored, oily water at the tip of the finger.
The small rocks composing The Finger continue underwater past this tip.

We now move down and across Leola Creek to the new part of Rediscovery uncovered the weekend before this one. LINK . The below photos show more details of a central gully I mention at the first of that earlier post I just linked to, which in heavier rain, would create quite a nice little waterfall I would suppose. I don’t have a name for this “falls” yet. Could this possibly be the fabled lost Marble Falls, where marbles fall back into reality that have been misplaced in previous times?
Another shot of an old road that bisects the gully along its way. This is the one that runs both north and west of a Blue Mountain water treatment plant.
Another surprise: the stream that sometimes flows through this gully with the projected falls has a very physical and concrete source.
I actually looked up this model and found the following link:
If we continue east along the road pictured above, we soon encounter a wetter, weedy part that’s harder to traverse, acting as a pretty efficient barrier between Water Plant Road to the east and points west (like the gully). This colorful log was found on the other side of the seep.
Continuing along this road toward Water Plant Road we encounter yet more evidence of camping past and perhaps even present.

Beautiful, rocky Leola Creek on the town side of Rediscovery, a little downstream from the reservoir we’re going to be talking about a lot in the next several posts. I now have a name for the large island in the pool (Finger Island) but not the pool itself. Heck I suppose I’ll just call it Finger Res., after the dominating island. Makes sense for now.
And here it is: The most prominent “finger” (finger-shaped rocky penninsula) of Finger Island protruding into Finger Lake or Reservoir. It’s really quite an odd phenomenon, and to double the mystery there’s another similar if smaller finger on the other side. I should call it Fingers Lake/Fingers Island probably, but those don’t have the same ring as Finger Lake/Finger Island. So I’ll just credit the more prominent example in the names.
This is, by the way, what I’d consider a classic shot of The Finger from the path running along the north side of the lake.
Finger Lake as seen from the west. I was on the lower rocks of the banned Rediscovery waterhole I’ve mentioned before when taking these shots. I dare not go further upstream for fear of being seen by passing cars on Leola Creek Road, especially a police car. 😮 It’s difficult to see someone from much of Finger Island from the same road.
The Finger itself from the bordering weeds. It’s really an odd phenomenon. Basically straight as an arrow and equally wide down its approx. 20 foot length it is, until we reach a neatly tapered end. Through information that’s starting to stream in from other directions, let’s say, I think an association with The Point of Herman Park’s Drink Lake may be in order. I’ll go into that further later on, if so.
The Finger from another point of Finger Island.
A bay on the south side of the lake as seen from the island.
The second, smaller and slightly lower “finger” of the island. I think I’ll call it “The Pinkie” or just Pinkie. But you can tell it is of very similar design. The further description of “spookily similar” is not out of order here I don’t believe.
The Pinkie points directly toward the banned Leola Creek waterhole in the background.
Finger Lake dam on the pool’s opposite side from its dominating island.

Hucka D.:
What does the killing of Real Life Square Guy and Real Life Shark by Real Life Peanut signify, baker b.?
bb:
Thanks for starting Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
She is your ticket to ride.
bb:
Thanks again. I won’t think about that for a while, then.
Hucka D.:
Good. Good contest last night between Edna and you I hear. A draw again?
bb:
Yeah. It was good. Very good. But we probably can’t have another [song contest] for a while. Nights getting colder now.
Hucka D.:
Ah yes. Then back to my question.
bb:
Well… Mouse-Fitz-Ozmo wakes up [after the killings] but he’s back in virtual reality, at a time just before he leaves the Cardboard City behind to find out what’s out there. Head heads into the wastelands and eventually the desert, as we know now.
Hucka D.:
You said the Cardboard City is Blue Mountain. You got the impression that this is death. At the end of Green Oz Mouse, we have the scene where Ozmo, the reborn Skillet, Golden Joe and also Peanut leave the Cardboard City to the music of “When We Were Young”, the last track on the 40 track album by The Residents called “Commercial Album”.
bb:
One of the greatest albums of our age.
Hucka D.:
Yes. And then at the beginning of the very next synch we have the same song repeating: “When We Were Young”. But to the funeral of Arnold Rimmer. Another death — this verifies to me and perhaps to us, the death motif.
bb:
But these are, let’s see, Carrcass-6 and Carrcass-7. Along with Carrcass-1, Carrcass-6 is the one that heavily uses 12 Oz Mouse video, most not the same from Carrcass-1. This is similar to INLAND EMPIRE in Carrcass-1 and the two before it.
Hucka D.:
Carrcass-0 and Carrcass+0.

bb:
Hucka D., I think this is just all too complicated to go into here. It’s not like collage interpretation, where you have a solid, fixed image to stare at, and the reader has to stare at. We’re talking about moving pictures here.
Hucka D.:
Yes. A problem. But you have to do it anyway. Pull back. Way back. Start at the Synch page on this site LINK. What are carrcasses? What are Pierre’s creations? Your (baker b.’s) creations?
—–
bb:
All 20 episodes before this in Ozmo or 12 Oz Mouse took place in that Cardboard City which we’re now equating with Blue Mountain. I am Ozmo but also Don is Ozmo.
Filed under **VIRTUAL SL
(continued)
But then in Carrcass-1, before this — or not long after we first see (Heaven) Lee — we have the 3rd tile kick in. The introduction is the same as the gunshot Real Life Peanut uses to kill Real Life Square Businessman. Is this the same bullet that will be used to kill Lee?
Hucka D., if you’re around, I googled “12 oz mouse peanut kills square” and not far down the list of images I saw this Freakies tree…
… remembering of course that Freakies and (their leader) Boss Moss have been attached to the Jeogeot continent mythology and also the Mossman mythos of Frank/Herman Park. Chance?
Here’s the full video from the same site:
Hucka D.:
Where’d that last one come from?
bb:
It was the only other image in that folder and since we’re talking about Jeogeot anyway…
Hucka D.:
There’s the fuzz!
—–
Hucka D.:
That was a close one. So back to Peanuts. He died in the wastelands, leaving not-drunk-enough Ozmo alone with his bestest pal Skillet, who may simply be a counterpart aspect. In the mirror. Renid.
bb:
But then in tile 3 he comes back (as stated). Shoots and kills Real Life Square Guy, outside the virtual reality that is. Then we hear the following… Don is obviously the same as Ozmo again, who also wakes up from the dream of *reality*.
Don woke up
And looked at the night before
He knew what he had to do
He was responsible
In the mirror
He saw his friend
Difficult to ascertain how important that is, Hucka D. I believe Don to be resonant with several Don’s I have known, but mainly one we called Mr. Synchronicity at times, like I’m called that at times (by the wife). 2 Mr. Synchronicities rolled into one, then. Don was a powerful solar figure at the center of an old Yahoo board called Synchronicity Phenomena. Fairly recently he passed on — found dead in his home in Marble City, Texas.
I’m always amazed to see one of my images turn up in a random search (this time: “Don Boulet”).
But there’s another Don figure in 12 Oz Mouse, and that comes in the form of character Rhoda who runs the town bar. He’s cyan or blue-green colored just like I energized this other Don I know , a childhood and high school and also college friend. Another powerful solar figure.
Hucka D.:
We don’t have time to go into that now. But, yeah, you’re right. And that makes Ozmo obviously…
bb:
Wazob. And this other Don is Eoc, a partner country or its closest traditional ally on the Mythos sphere-planet. Ozmo is Britonia. Skillet is a squirrel and thus Spring Squirrel. Rhoda calls him a dog, however, but Ozmo corrects him.* This is in Carrcass-9, Hucka D.
—–
“Rhoda is emphasized through Slint’s track “Rhoda” from their first album. “Don Aman” (and all the rest from Carrcass-1) are from the 2nd album, called “Spiderland”. Spider is another character in 12 Oz mouse, not un-coincidentally most likely.
“Rhoda dips back into the past, an original state, maybe an original Don. The only US Rhoda is next to Mammoth Cave Park, Hucka D., the mouth of which is seen in the last of 61 works in the huge Falmouth collage collection. Rhoda is there as well, but this is on purpose because of the name juxtaposition in Kentucky.
Hucka D. (looking):
There’s Peanut, He’s got a bit of a drip heading toward him. He may be investigating a murder: red/blue man whose body is laid out on a sidewalk at the cave’s mouth. 12 Oz Mouse with his giant corndog looks on from the right. We see half of blue-green Rhoda in the top right part. Irritating Woman is adding another red balloon to the flying guy’s collection — making him even higher. Will he float off into space, never to return (now)?

* Fuller quote here:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465774/quotes
Rhoda: [referring to Skillet] What is that? Is that a dog?
Mouse ‘Fitz’ Fitzgerald: He’s a squirrel.
Rhoda: Yeah, I know. Come ‘ere little squirrely.
[Skillet squeaks]
Rhoda: Come and get yourself a nut.
Mouse ‘Fitz’ Fitzgerald: Shut up.
Rhoda: You shut up! You have no idea what kind of party is in store for us!
[Mouse points his gun at Rhoda]
Rhoda: [nervously] Okay?

I viewed the first half of Carrcass-1 again yesterday while the wife was in her jewelry class. Again impressed by the power of the synch, especially the central “Captain” region. Is that predicted by GNIRPS like some other parts of the synch?
Well, can’t get into the GNIRPS database right now. Perhaps best to talk to Hucka D. instead.
Hucka D.:
GNIRPS is a place of marriage. Frank and Herman; red and green. Then that makes… you say it…
bb:
Then that makes the trench in Head Trip where green and yellow overlap red and yellow a marriage bed. Conjunctio. We’re number 1, and so on.
Hucka D.:
In Bridee marble speak — I’ll go this time — Red and [Yellow and Odd] are the 2 inferior marble colors to superior Green and Blue. Shooting reds and yellow all day is shooting at the inferior races of red and yellow by the green and blue races, if you will. And shooting or bumping heads/bodies with the inferior red and yellow marbles by the superior blue and green, like your Bob Underston (Blue), like my Ed Edwardston (Green). But[ in the end] they get their due.
bb:
I do.
Hucka D.:
Queer. Anyhow, to Carrcass-1 and swiftly.
bb:
Well, I realized that the cardboard city of 12 Oz Mouse is Blue Mountain, which Don stepped out of, and then *I* stepped out of this summer through Bigfoot — a big step as it were. The reason I think this is that *Peanut* disappears soon afterwards, and that stands directly for the Peanuts region inside the Blue Mountain Urban Landscape which was replaced as a toy happening focus by Bigfoot. So Peanut disappearing in Carrcass-1 is symbolic of this switchover. Actually Golden Joe disappears first. This leaves only 12 Oz Mouse or Ozmo himself, and his sidekick Skillet. Then I think the hole Ozmo finds is further up Leola Creek than Bigfeet, or Wallace/Tinsity, where the F&H/Sunklands Blog began as it were.
Hucka D.:
As it is.
bb:
The bug goes down as Don tries to piss (down). *Freeze* the (12 Oz Mouse) DVD, then unpause as the green liquid erupts *up* from the ground as the narrator for Don Aman says “it finally came” — the yellow piss erupts *down*. This the concept of Greenup/Yellow Down, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
Indeed it is. Or was.
bb:
Then Ozmo and Skillet meet the 4th Angel or 4th Angle. An erection occurs. Mouse and Skillet seem to have made a house in the desert in the meantime.
—–

bb:
In looking at that video again, it looks like Ozmo calls it New Agel instead of New Angel or Angle. Like “New Age”. He says this first after Peanut disappears with not even a burn mark.
Hucka D.:
Keep watching…
bb:
Then they reach the desert in the wastelands.
Hucka D.:
Maistelands. Had to be said.
bb:
A big bug burrows backwards. 4 b’s there, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
A desert is without water, so this (resulting) hole could be the source spring of Leola Creek, an Appalachian Spring after all. Leola Creek then flows by Peanuts in the Urban Landscape… by Bigfeet before that.
bb:
Is it Bigfeet or Bigfoot?
Hucka D.:
Your choice. Like feet or foot. 100 foot long swamp or marsh or 100 feet long swamp (or marsh)?
bb:
Greenup is a reverse process from Yellow Down. This is the 2 sides of Green Oz at the head of Leola, centered by Wallace/Tinsity.
Hucka D.:
Correct.
Carr.:
Corr. ect.
bb:
Hi Carrcassonnee!
Carr.:
Harr.

bb:
They built that house from their own spit. Spit in the sand day and night. That’s either our present house or our future house or cabin in Blue Mountain, perhaps near or next to Leola Creek, Hucka D. Or perhaps Green Stream over in Whitehead Crossing. But it’s a makeshift house.
He comes out of the house and states that he strongly needs a car. And then a city to drive it in. And that’s when he or she showed up. She/he starts shooting at Ozmo and Skillet. The screen freezes along with the Mexican music just before the attack, but not of my doing this time. Then during the attack Ozmo suddenly remember they have a force field and activates it, forming a protective sphere around them. Couldn’t this be the Rainbow Sphere Lisa The Vegetarian uses to protect or perhaps isolate Tinsity? Quote here…
Wallace3:
Hi Tin S. Man! (waves across barrier tree). What’s cooking?
Tin S. Man (looking at ground):
Do you know there are *bones* here. Cow bones if I’m assuming correctly.
Wallace3:
Yes. I knew.
Hucka Doobie (flying as a giant bee-man now):
I’m trying to get inside the boundaries but can’t. I’m bouncing off the Tinsity limits like there’s some kind of force field around it.
Wallace3:
Spock’s Bones.
Tin S. Man:
Yes. I’m ahead of you now. Feel it.
Wallace3:
I invoke the 3333 spell, then.
Hucka Doobie (still bouncing):
A force field!
Tin S. Man:
I have found something. Digging. Bricks. I will take the bricks now. These tiles.
Wallace3:
Stop. Those are mine!
Tin S. Man:
Hmmm, looks like they’re within my boundaries now.
Hucka Doobie:
I can’t stop bouncing.
Tin S. Man: (maniacal laugh)
The spherical force field may be the same as the Rainbow Sphere.
Hucka D.:
You already said that.
bb:
Oh. Sorry.
Hucka D.:
Keep watching.
bb:
And then he/she walks up after the force field is activated. Mexican music starts again. Ozmo gets a metaphorical erection. “Howdy partner,” she/he says in a dual voice, “is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?”. “No it’s a gun,” Ozmo responds. Dual voices, Hucka — mirroring the dual sexuality?
Hucka D. — also this figure isn’t the New Agel, but she mentions the entity as a way to escape the desert, it appears. At this, Ozmo tells Skillet to lower the force field. He thinks he/she is okay since she/he’s also looking for the New Agel to quench her thirst and end the ominipresent heat.
Her actual name is Lee, and it use to be Heaven Lee. But… he has to kill her with a silver bullet she or he supplies. Kill him or her[ I meant]. And that’s The End of 12 Oz mouse, Hucka D. He has to kill him/her before he/she turns into the She-Wolf. Why the specific sex at this point?

It may not be now, but soon. But it also may be quite soon. The end of my existence inside the game of Second Life. Energy there is dipping even lower. Mainland is a wasteland (Maisteland).
What popped into my head right now was to release a “book” about my Second Life adventures starting in 2008, arranged either geographically or chronologically. If the former, then it will be by continent (Sansara, Heterocera, Jeogeot, Maebaleia, Nautilus, Corsica). If the latter — as I recall the Baker Blinker Blog can be broken down into large chucks consisting of 8 months apiece, but I’ll have to separate non-Second Life stuff from it.
Since the beginning of the current blog (Frank and Herman/Sunklands) in Aug 2012, I’ve focused heavily on Heterocera, with briefer stays in Jeogeot as follows:
1) Fall, 2012: last incarnation of Pietmond in New Pietmond, Otaki Gorge, with the community then shifting over to Sikkima near the Great Rubi Forest;
2) Summer/Fall 2014: first incarnation of Collagesity in Noru, with the community, once again, shifted over to a location next to the Great Rubi Forest, where it remains.
So that’s two stays in Jeogeot, and in the sims I was most familiar with from previous years (Noru and Otaki Gorge). Then the rest in Heterocera, basically, with more minor stops in Nautilus’ Mysten, for instance (June, 2015), and Corsica’s Asha (Winter 2013/14).
But these 2 Jeogeot stops are quite important because they helped me essentially seal up stories of this most important Second Life continent to me, where I developed a virtual town in Pietmond for the first time. Pietmond is the model for all else to come. And it’s positioned within the Sunklands region, which represent the most important overall area I existed within Second Life, or the most advanced. And then Noru (and attached Chilbo community) forms a second important Jeogeot story, a balance and counterpoint to Sunklands. More minor Jeogeot concentrations are positioned around these two, like Teepot (central northern Jeogeot) and others.
Maybe I should just create a book about Jeogeot.

“So the marbles started in that trench. That was them banging each other up. Like war. Like football. Football is war. You need a helmet in both.”
Hucka D.:
The football player — Nietzsche is it? — is green and gold (green jersey and gold helmet and pants) and when we see him Pico or Alvarado say they’ve been shooting reds and yellows all day. Green and yellow become red and yellow. This is the equivalency of Frank and Herman Parks (for one thing). Map Rat, and the wedding of Frank and Herman and all. LINK Shooting seems also to refer to marbles, as you shoot marbles in a game of that name. Is it still my turn to talk?
bb:
Sure.
Hucka D.:
Then Nietzsche Nitschke still runs in the trench, and bangs his head against its walls, looking around at all 3 sides afterwards, apparently.
bb:
Cool.
Hucka D.:
But he is a marble. That’s the bottom line. Or his helmet is a marble. He gets dented up. He is an old school player. Green Bay.
bb:
Bob Underston.
Hucka D.:
Ed Edwardston.
The trench is his grave, like Addie’s. Head to foot. Helmeted head. Foot with an “e”. He gets frustrated; throws the helmet out of the trench toward the Monkee.
bb:
Peter. Peter the Monkee.
Hucka D.:
But then he still attempts to bang his now unhelmeted head against the end of the trench. But with the shift of the helmet from one head to another, the war has also shifted from football, a limited field like a limited area in a trench, to a bigger arena: the world. World war. And football has become war. Football per se is now ineffective as a…
bb:
Don’t say it.
Hucka D.:
Bloodletting.
