You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Well, you know, it was a MOO for homeschooled kids, set up as an offshoot project from a listserv for their mothers, and some of these people were from the far right of the homeschooling spectrum. So. Yeah. That too.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

But what does "MOO," as you used it, mean???

Shit, I used to know! You know. It's a text environment, and you build rooms, and objects, and, and, I am not being articulate girl. It's a MUD. I forget the difference between a MOO and a MUD.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Um-- I don't know what a MUD is either?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

A mud is a Multi-User Dimension (or Dungeon) -- it's a collaboratively built virtual space. Sort of like Sang Sacre. A MOO is something that as far as I could ever tell is exactly the same thing, but with different initials.

From [link]

Short for Mud, Object Oriented, a specific implementation of a MUD system developed by Stephen white. MOO is in the public domain and can be freely downloaded and executed.

So it's a specific implementation of a MUD.
