I have had quite enough of that other thread, thank you. Today I logged
on, and damn thing had 56 posts in one day and a total 124 posts in the
entire thread.
I will not ask the dozen or so participants to stop. I do not believe in
censorship.
However, I have gotten to the point where I am willing to amuse myself my
mocking that other thread with humorous but pointless intent.
Anyone who feels the same may please use this thread to bring silliness to
this newsgroup, and perhaps we will have enough to counteract all of that
seriousness they are dumping here.
Anyone who wishes to respond to this post, please do so with irreverance
and irrelevance; you do not have to be funny, just silly or
non-sequential.
Any and all responses posted to this thread that are serious will be
uncerimonously mocked by myself until I get bored or this thread takes on
a life of it's own like the other thread did.
Be afraid. Be very afraid. Or don't. See what I care. I'll just sit
here in the corner and sulk. I mean you were warned, but would you listen
to me? Heavens, no! You just went on to the next thread without a second
thought, and after all the trouble your parents went through to raise you,
too! I mean, when I think of them slaving away to give you a good home
(hey, you in the back! Sit down and shut up! I don't care if you were
adopted at the age to 25 after being raised by a tribe of hairless banana
moles running a foster home! This is my speech and--and--oh, frak. You
made me lose my place), uh never mind.
OK! 1,2,4,3,5. That's pretty non-sequential.
Actually furries are freezing up here in northern New York State.
Temperatures below zero (Fahrenheit)(well, Celsius too, come to think of
it).
And for all the bunny & wildebeest fans out there: Hoppy gnu year!

Yes. Seriousness.
This is nothing compared to the nuzzling that went on in the Dr. Otto's
Moldy Cheese Blintzes Debate about a year ago. Someone got offended
because they were serving unidentifiable potted meat products at last
year's Secret Furry Order of the Ceramic Dalmation Party, and started
flaming furries because they replaced all the Tickle Me Elmo dolls with a
bunch of ceramic dalmations, and people were threatening to steal that
giant Hummel statue over in Tarrytown, NY or build dozens of screaming
snowmen on the railroad tracks.

Someone even went so far as to put a near mint condition Wurlitzer jukebox
on roller skates and send it down the entrance ramp to the Cross
Westchester Expressway, much to the chagrin of NYC commuters.

Mice are cute until you find one in your cereal. Life beats football as a
game. One minute you're off SAVING THE GALAXY, and the next thing you
know, you're sucking down darjeeling with....
(...Marie Antoinette and her little sister.)

I love furry fandom and if I have to sue for custody, I will sue for
custody.

I'll just have to hug you until you can't move, then.

The furries ain't exactly toasty-warm in the SF Bay Area, either.
While the much-dreaded Storm of the Decade missed us to strike the hapless
folks further north, we're still sitting smack in the middle of some
decidedly wintry weather. The wind lashes the trees outside, the rain
hammers insistently against the roof, and the foul demons of air and
darkness claw futilely at the windows. But I have read the ancient wisdom
buried in the forgotten ruins of eldritch, shadow-haunted cities that do
not suffer gladly the tread of human feet, and I know well what must needs
be done that the creatures may be held at bay until the golden spears of
the light of dawn prod them gibbering back to their lairs. They shall not
have me! For I have drawn the signs in blood that from the gibbet drip't,
and the walls of this shelter are as iron to their touch! I feel the
shuddering of the air as they pry with skeletal talons at the very corners
of space, but the wards have been cast and they cannot penetrate! Behind
me the snoring of the guard otter sets the flames of the candles to
dancing, his dreams weaving an ensnaring web to catch and hold their
thought attacks! They are lean and hungry but on me they shall not feed!
I shall remain safely ensconced amidst my protecting talismans as the
storm spends its fury on the city and the creatures that lurk in the
cracks between the seconds howl their impotent rage! Come morning they
shall be banished for another year and again I will be free to work my
arts without fear! Ha! Serves them right, the big jerks! Until then I
need only bide my time. Dawn lies but a few hours distant, the earth's
inexorable turn bringing the saving light ever closer. I need only
wait....
Just a sec, there's someone at the door. Candygram? Cool! I'll be
right back.

Good ol' Charlie Brown said it himself, once: "REAL penguins don't get
cold feet!"
": Be afraid. Be very afraid. Or don't. See what I care.

If we're going to allude to They Might Be Giants, listen to
"Shoehorn with Teeth," on -Lincoln-. Do the words remind you a
little of a lot of furry fans? : )

Yes, always.
On the subject of nuzzling, however, I know a few really cool furries who
like TMBG. (I hadn't realized their new album had come out until someone
played it for me at CFE2.)[1] I always thought "Mammal" off the Apollo 18
album was cute, purrsonally.

[1] If you haven't picked it up yet, get it. It's called "Factory
Showroom". I liked it a lot more than "John Henry".
Sound of an evil laugh from the old fox...
You ought to see the fun down here when the temperature drops!
Fox looks around with an innocent look.

Maybe they will catch a cold?
Freezing, sneezing Furries!

This sums the whole thing up perfectly. In fact, I think this, in a

If they don't want to stop, may I suggest they start up a "fur.rant"
group so we don't have to download so many headers to find, at most,
three furry-topic posts?
I am picturing a certain Far Side cartoon involving a desert island
and a graffiti-covered palm tree...

Ha! Furries down south aren't freezing - they're cooking! Ah, just think
of nice hot 77F (25C) summer days, with the sun beating down, everyfurry
breaking out the sunhats and sun-creme for the tips of their pink noses.
Wintery blasts are just a memory as everyfurry heads for the sun-drenched
beaches to cool off - warm gentle (and not-so-gentle here on the Canterbury
Plains) play though your fur in the long summer evenings. Time to sit back
with a cold beer in a deck-chair and a plate of cold turkey sandwiches and
enjoy the sunshine...
[Are you guys jealous yet? :) ]

"The meek can *have* the earth. The rest of us are going to the stars."
I'll remember this next summer when that steam kettle you call the
Gulf has your fur matted with endless days of dripping humidity or whips
up a little breeze to send your den's roof five hundred miles inland.
Then again, there's something pleasant about a warm fire and a hot
cup of Orange mango zinger tea on a chilly night. At least we northern
furs know what a chilly night is! Nyaa!

By the way, Celestial Seasonings Vanilla Maple tea is delicious.
Try some. I insist.

Not really, we've got pretty much the same kind of weather here in central
Texas at the moment. :) (Although with our unpredictable weather this time
of year, in a couple more days we could very well _have_ a nice overnight
freeze sweep through the area, then be right back up to 70-80F temperatures
a week later...)
Sorry. On the Net, it's hard to tell accents.

I think I saw that one, But I always thought that it should of had a
dead Smurf hanging from the tree.
