Any other ideas?

Obvious Fake. Do Not Harvest.
>Any other ideas?
Wandering, off-topic threads, flames and trolls on alt.fan.furry,
alt.lifestyle.furry, and alt.artificially-created.furry... as well as people
who accidentally cross post between them.
Continuing, unsolvable controversy as people who prefer the web find the latest
technological communications marvel -- home-based hyper-networked
virtual-reality simulation -- is bringing in lots of fresh blood to the fandom,
but the newer furs don't seem to care about or support the older methods.
And, of course, the sex vs no-sex debate rages on.
This is fun!

It is?...
No, i just finished searching the house, studio and garage for that
oversized, infamious cream ("Eeeeew!.") colored chair,... No chair
matching the one in the photograph was located.

Well, as long as Furry's insist on sharing the details of their raging mad

I just went into hysterics when I thought about that one. OTOH waving a used

Excuse me... that one? Have you ever read James Blish and his "Cities in
Flight" stories I am thinking the last of the stories when James Amalfy
becomes his own pocket universe. "Trimuph of Time" I think it was.
In any event we are taling a major restructuring of the universe, as well as a
major rethink of physical laws as would leave Stephen Hawkins and Albert
Einstein stunned. A concept that will exist in limbo until some great
physcist, millenia in the future, finds a reason to upset all our physical
laws.
On that day, everybody better grab hold of the street lamps, 'cause gravity
just reversed.
"Chester" is not the long sought graviton.
Past that we will not deveal.

Legend has it that when he was staying at Steve Martin's house for a
spell, Steve stepped out of his studio for an errand or whatever, and
Kevin IMMEDIATELY stripped himself down, took a pic with (Steves?)
digital camera, and put his clothes back on before Steve got back. Kevin
then went around uploading the pic in his "Hey gals? Want some of THIS?
Come and get it, ladies." frame of mind, and the rest is infamy.
THIS is the kinda guy that furrydom attrracts, kids. Ain'cha so proud of
what you've done?
MHirtes
Hey, that reminds me. We all know how Kevin likes to take artists
illustrations and makes banners of it to sell at cons (fat chance of the
artist ever seeing a cut, of course). Wonder if maybe Kev might like a
dose of his own medicine if THIS pic of his got made into a poster or
banner, and the proceeds would go to the artists Kevin's screwed over?

Oh, THAT chair.
Maybe we can get 9 people from a con to take the chair from Steve Martin's

Lets see... from another thread way back when NJ appears to be mordor.. so,

I'd reccomend going by way of Philly, so Kage can play shelob at The Adams

According to Steve, the chair already met its demise a few years back
(Looked around once more, JUST in case.)

Furdom has always had that problem for years. Slow to denounce or
cast out someone who's repeatedly troublesome because they're an
artgod (don't wanna chuck a good source of spooge art) or is a "good
draw". Yet again, they're VERY quick to cast out someone who isn't
one of them politically/socially/culturally. After seven years
('94-'00), except for ZonieCon (which has ALWAYS treated me well), I
realized I had gone as far as I could in furdom without selling out.
I retired after ConFurence XI. Now I'm a pro mainstream inker with a
couple assignments that are furry-related. Maybe I got off light.

Replace one of the gamers with a certain writer/artist/INKER who
retired from furdom and lived in exile (worked for Aragorn). Hokay,
we have the Fellowship of the Throne. Does that mean Kevin will be

Just what is 'one of them politically/socially/culturally' seems we have left

hard to find someone whois still outside all that.. much less make them

Dont see the speed there either... Heck there have been people like Mr.

Just because someone gets ragged repeatedly in a.f.f. doesn't result
in their getting run from furdom. Now when they're banned from
conventions or absolutely no one visits their table in the dealer's
room, that's when they ache, right in the wallet (part of why I left
furdom; I couldn't afford to spend hundreds o'dollars to make tens
o'dollars).

The politically/socially/culturally correct crowd is the (at the cost
of sounding like a certain radio talk-show host) is the leftist elite
that's dominated furdom.

Duane was barred from AC recently. At ConFurence XI, his table was
very much unvisited (I sat across from him in the dealer's room, so
that's not hearsay). Duane just hasn't realized he's pretty much done
in furdom. I realized it a few years ago.

Amen. That's ONE method to unload someone. Then again there are some
"artgods" who've been slammed for years in a.f.f. and they're still
attending furrycons and being "worshipped". Some "artgods" seem to
thrive on their infamy.

They apparently do... perhaps it's because the number of people who are
actually hostile is pretty small, and the common intrests are overwhelming...
