Fun with Second Life and bad translation
I speak no French, only what I know from songs with French lyrics and a tiny bit from high school.
As this went on, and the alleged "wife" got involved, I realized she was using a translator, so I began saying things that I knew were nonsense and would translate even stranger.
I am Lower Decatur.......... (also, this is kinda dumb, but whatever)

[2:32] Eros Shelbyville‧: tampis scuse me
So I should probably explain more at this point. I was in an entirely different place from these people who were IMing me. I never saw this person or this next person. However....it is true that I attacked him. But he was collateral damage. Not important.
So this person below started IMing me, saying she was the other guy's wife, in Second Life and Real Life. (I didn't even realize Eros was a guy at that point.)
