We hit Cornflakes Week with all the bright colors and primmy nonsense of a decade-long tradition this Wednesday, as the HG Safari crew teleported to the newly revived Cornflakes Tribute region, now back online, this time on HG Safari grid.
For more about the sim in general, don't miss this post that takes a deeper dive into some of the details of the historic region.

| Whirli Placebo |
We were honored to have Whirli Placebo as our musical guest, he has been there for us so many times over the years, what we found extra special is the music he shared with us... more of that later.
Whirli Placebo: heya giggles and taarna :)
Jupiter Rowland: Hi everyone!
Taarna Welles: Hello hello... Hi Dingeding
Whirli Placebo: its been ages, Cherry...so good seeing you again
Cherry Manga: yes, fortunately I follow a bit your activity on FB
Jupiter Rowland: I need to make me a shoulder Namnam for next year.
Whirli Placebo: my activity on fb...gasp...nonsense 24/7
George Equus: Hello everyone'
Forest Azure: giggles
Forest Azure: /me giggles
Dings Digital: bonsoir friends
Forest Azure: one giggles was a hi, the other was the act of giggling
Giggles DeClown: "The Act of Giggling" I need to put that on my Marquee. Nice to see you all flexing your colorful boundaries :)
Cherry Manga: yes and that's perfect! :P
Forest Azure: oh.. should i look cornflaky?
Thirza Ember: easy safari this week, two parties
Thirza Ember: easy safari this week, two parties
Dings Digital: isn't it always party? in the party bus
eva Nowicka: hey Cherry, Dings, Giggles, Jupiter, all.. .hugs!!!!!
Dings Digital: Hi Whirli
eva Nowicka: how colorful!!!
James Atlloud: yay
James Atlloud: Stage reminds me of an old kid's toy - the 'sit and spin'
Dings Digital: I feel prim nostalgia
Cherry Manga: it reminds me inception's spinning top
Giggles DeClown: A soft melodic song about dying on Mars.
Forest Azure: is that whirli singing?
Whirli Placebo: not me singing! I'm djing my songs today :p
Forest Azure: your songs? as in your songs?
Cherry Manga: ah that's why !!!!!! first time I assist to a set by you Whirli...
Whirli Placebo: I fed my demo tapes into ai.....and made sure it kept all my lyrics...and all my chordings
Cherry Manga: I think the clothespin is my favorite thing from Cornflakes, it's a very simple idea, but how so brilliant and fun way to play with terraform
Jupiter Rowland: One of the few places around the Hypergrid where pigs truly fly. At least one of them.
Thirza Ember: so many crazy creations, if you cam on the little things they are really detailed and charming
James Atlloud: Who knew prims could be so expressive
Giggles DeClown: Prims are great to work with but hurt like hell when you step on them. Much like LEGOs.
Forest Azure: only the pointy ones
Cherry Manga: Giggles that's so true! That's how I feel when I use prim stairs! ...I would be curious to see what Cornflakes could do with the time and experience, because his creativity was just insane, and technically he had good skills too....Would he work mesh, EEP, etc, to make silly things...
Jupiter Rowland: I'd expect him to turn EEP upside-down.
Cherry Manga: cereal rain
Jupiter Rowland: Although he'd play it straight with the ground here. Carpet as a ground texture is his level of unexpectedness.
Cherry Manga: I see it like a picnic tablecloth with all bugs coming to eat crumbs
Thirza Ember: have you seen the Test Dummies - the one in the fight? with the vacuum cleaner creature ? who has lost his head? the detail is astonishing - the movement
Cherry Manga: what direction Thirza?
Thirza Ember: look for the yellow men, there are 4 together
Cherry.Manga: ahhhh yes

| Cornflakes freebie store in the sky above the original layout |
Thirza Ember: In the sky there is a cornflakes shop. I didn't want to change the region by adding too much at ground level, so at the landing point, at the SouthEast corner, there are just a few Interpretive panels and a TP to the shop. It isn't finished yet, but it has all kinds of Cornflakes related stuff, including some by Jupiter and by Cherry. If you make something that fits the cornflakes look, I would be happy to put it in the freebie shop for next time.
Giggles DeClown: I use Cornflakes textures for carpets, wallpapers, cubicle partitions, and breakfast cereal.
Jupiter Rowland: I've used that typical Cornflakes texture to Cornflakes-ify some upcycled Clutterfly furniture.
Cherry Manga: The spirit reminds me of the Greenies if you remember them in SL, it was a place where we were experiencing the size of greenies (= green aliens) and were in a giant kitchen.. Every greenie scene was a funny story, and all in prims too
eva Nowicka: oh, yes, the greenies
James Atlloud: I loved the greenies! I like being tiny... lol
Forest Azure: /me seizes james up... no you're not!
Thirza Ember: ha! that is a philosophical question forest
Forest Azure: lol, yes, to be afk or not
James Atlloud: sometimes I am away, sometimes not but I rarely advertise it. I'm terrible on Discord updating my status.
Thirza Ember: the meaning of Green, James
James Atlloud: True!
Forest Azure: it is getting philosopicaller and philosopicaller!
George Equus: I have to go. Great music! Bye for now
Cherry Manga: Whirli please come more oftennnnnnnnnn
James Atlloud: A little live humming at the end there - thanks Whirliii
Taarna Welles: woot woot
eva Nowicka: a great set, bravo!!!!!
Here you can see some of Cornflakes' original creations, turned into NPCs - you can also wear them as avatars to enter into the spirit of the thing. Or make your own version! And then just like that it was time to hit the Funtime region on Twiztidtimez Grid for another take on the theme.
Here we're among a Dinkie colony, and the prime colors of your classic Cornflake look are interpreted to fit their style. Our hosts were Sofee Funsize, aka Sofee Supermarine, and Ted Junior, builder extraordinare.

Thirza Ember: yeah yes, it is a bit like that Sofee!! you all look wonderful

Giggles DeClown: I hope the plungers are a fashion statement. I mean, you didn't all get stuck in the toilet, did you?
Zellez Mist: LOL
Sofee Funsize: hahahahha... ummmmmmmmmmmm
Thirza Ember: they mix the useful with the fashion statement
Jupiter Rowland: I'm kind of tempted to make this plunger a regular part of my Cornflakes outfit.
