To people who never really
Care how you are
So give me Coffee and TV
Easily
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And I'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again" -- Blur, Coffee & TV

FWA: 2012
Posted 13 years agoHad a great time at FWA. Still thinking about it. It's nice to reflect on the good times there considering I came home to find thousands of dollars worth of electronics stolen. But that'll all get sorted out. I met some really cool people and hope to hang out again sometime! :D
FWA: Missed Encounter 1
Posted 13 years agoDetective Scoliosis,
I know this isn't your name, but it's how I will forever remember you. When I saw you stalking the con space like an arthritic t-rex in what must be the only clothes you own, I found myself enrapt by the way your regular hypnotic ambulation was uninterrupted by even the most tight, unnavigable crowd - and certainly not by anyone's desire to converse with you. Indeed, not even your own desire to do anything else could interrupt your efforts to walk a trench into the Sheraton's carpeting.
Your greasy locks, your burgundy shirt, your characteristic slouch - all these things burned into the memory of my SD card as I snapped your picture from afar. I dared not get too close for (and I'm sure you'll agree) you appear to have the manner of a roaming Witch from "Left 4 Dead". And much like you, I too have a hunch. It's not visible like yours, or even as imaginary as the trail of clues one might fancy you following, but it is the most satisfying thought I've had concerning your unusual manner.
I don't think I had a chance of understanding at the con, but I now believe I am attuned to your mysterious wandering. You are a performance artist and your endless trek is a particularly devious commission.
Bravo. Your forever alone creeping would make John Waters yield a standing ovulation.

Saints Row 3
Posted 13 years agoIt's a good game! Essential details follow!
PSN: Potatovich
saintsrow.com: seicheamh
3 character uploads currently, including my flagship Saints Row character Strawberry Kiwi.
At the moment, I am interested in amusing outfit ideas, although clothing selection seems more limited than Saints Row 2. Any suggestions? As usual, she'll have her usual revealing outfits, a Carmen Sandiego outfit, and a hotdog suit (assuming it still exists!). I was thinking of moving onto more cosplay of famous criminals, like Guy Fawkes or the police sketch of the Unabomber.

crinkle
Posted 13 years agoIs the popularity of diapers within the fandom a consequence of individuals who have destroyed their sphincters with dildos of enormous size made by furry dildo companies?
This is a wonderful place
Posted 13 years agoThis is the best of all possible worlds, where everyone's fetishes are out in the open and the only things that are taboo end up on InkBunny . As Hokusai said at the unveiling of his seminal work of cephalopod erotica The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife, "To paraphrase FDR, the only thing that is taboo is tabooy-ness itself." Sadly, Hokusai suffered from a severe case of anachronicity and his words were never truly understood until today. It is tragic that we've had to endure the rise of Folk Art to get here, and that lederhosen are still around, but without these things our lives would be a lot less tacky.
This is why this place is the best. Here we can indulge our whims and interact on a level where our aesthetic appreciation slams into a glass ceiling visible to everyone above us. But here I ask you, what if that glass ceiling is actually the top of a glass shitting table?
In space?

Does anyone else...
Posted 14 years agoDoes anyone else ever doubletake on the front page when spotting a gender ambiguous photograph and run off to play the "Dude or Chick?" game with friends?
Preacher
Posted 14 years agoPreacher is the best comic book of all time. GO READ IT. READ IT NOW.
Apples to Apples
Posted 14 years agoOh man, writing lesson plans is real boring, but Apples to Apples is awesome like a Nuns vs Penguins deathmatch. Nuns, long known for habitual cruelty and brutality, going up against species known for surviving the most cruel and unforgiving winters while wearing tuxedos? It's the unstoppable force vs the unmovable object. ABRUPT END TO DIGRESSION. I've procured some Make-Your-Own Apples to Apples cards, and I'm soliciting suggestions for nouns (Red Cards) and adjectives (Green Cards).
I consider ideal suggestions that work in diverse groups of people (family as well as furries), but bear in mind "family" suggestions need not be SFW - we're talking about an open family with a flexible sense of humor. Moreover, card ideas that may work long term are preferred over short term (e.g. fleeting memes). Cause, let's face it, Apples to Apples has some great cards, but there needs to be a greater concentration of win and a smaller concentration of hard-to-use dead actors only referenced in Trivial Pursuit answers.
For adjectives, feel free to diddle the nether regions of a thesaurus for silly obscure, esoteric, eldritch, and otherwise arcane verbiage! Portmanteaus (i.e. Word-taurs) are nice, too.
Soliciting suggestions from folks who don't watch me would be much appreciated and earn you several happy emoticons in remuneration.

Posted 15 years agoMachete is going to be SO GOOD. Look at that fucking cast! Look at that fucking director! Best Film of the year. It'll sweep the Oscars AND the Razzies.
E3 was rather disappointing
Posted 15 years agoM$ and Sony worked their asses off to come up with their own variation on the Wii-mote and spent the rest of the time, by and large, going on about games I couldn't care less about. Major exceptions being Portal 2, Little Big Planet 2, and... er... OH WAIT! You bitches didn't mention The Last Guardian AT ALL! So, yeah.
Meanwhile, Nintendo offers up new iterations of its hall-of-famers. The next Zelda game looks great, and a new Kid Icarus for the 3DS surprisingly caught my interest. That said, the remaining excitement seems saved for third party developers, like Okamiden (DS Okami sequel) and Super Scribblenauts (Now With Adjectives!).

Video Game Protagonist Quirks
Posted 15 years agoMario's a furry. It's well-known. Finally, in Mario Galaxy 2, a Luma says to Mario, regarding the Bee Mario outfit: "You, uhh... Yeah. Have fun with your unusual toy there. I ain't judging!" Thank you, Nintendo. Now bring back his tanuki suit. He misses it.
Likewise, Nintendo's acknowledged the quirks of Link, a mute autistic savant who does everything asked of him. In Phantom Hourglass, a NPC becomes rather cross with Link after demanding he answer a question and receiving only silence in response. Little does the NPC know it's not that Link refuses to answer; rather, he's only capable of speaking in shouts and screams and gestures, which is why he's issued a nanny in most games (Navi, Midna, and so on). But for some reason the Nanny character never teaches Link to respect the boundaries of others, including but not limited to their pots, urns, and other breakables.

FWA 2010
Posted 15 years agoHOLYSHITFURRIES!
Had a blast at FWA. Would've liked to have made new friends and hang out with more folks, but no such luck. Spent a lot of time with
t-townwolf and
gerbilpoof. Attended panels, rode loooong elevators, suffered ass-scorching diarrhea, danced drunkenly in 20th floor hotel window, consumed deep-dish pizza, imagined Batman scaling nearby tall buildings, made awesome mixed drinks, and explained furry to a few polite folks.
Did discover Mouse Guard, which is page-flippin' fantastic. Stylized anthro mice (normal size) in 1152 Europe facsimile go medieval to protect their pint-sized kingdom from natural threats (non-anthro species, natural depiction). Highly recommended.
Okay, offtopic - So was I the only one disappointed the first time I found out what the phrase "baby shower" actually means? Total misnomer, think about it. Got nothing to do with babies falling from the fucking sky and landing amusingly in splattery piles of meat. "Oh, no. It's just a party for a mother-to-be." Greeeeat. No one even stones the bitch with gifts! That's no 'shower' by anyone's definition.
I'm out.

Console Gaming (Spring Break)
Posted 15 years agoAfter finding the most recent "Prince of Persia" for extra cheap, I picked it up and finally finished it up this past week. Thoughts:
+ Beautiful graphics
+ Forgiving level of difficulty... almost too forgiving
- "Epilogue" DLC seems overpriced given that it sounds short
- Atmosphere : White middle easterners? WTF?
- Characterization : How does the protagonist never seem the least bit rattled by repeated harrowing saving-the-world experiences?
And now, Mass Effect 2. Thoughts:
+ Importing ME1 character is a fantastic idea
+ Absolutely amazing job of incorporating ME1 sidequests and minor characters into ME2
+ Much improved inventory management from ME1
+ FUCK YES they went all "Angel Season 5" on the plot!
+ Pretty cool NPCs, (And if the drell isn't Nightcrawler, I don't know who he is.)
- But no same-sex romance? Laaame. Although, no RPG I've played has really done a good job of a male same-sex romance, which is why my ME1 romance was girl-on-girl.
? Jury's still out on whether replacing Mako missions with planet scanning is more tedious.

Drawing in Class is Practically Universal
Posted 15 years agoAnd yet it is universally impractical when everything you draw appears to be the work of a kindergartener who draws using his feet during grand mal fits of epilepsy. You see, while visiting a friend this past weekend
Confused_Shadow mentioned her fondness for in-class doodling and my friend expressed his mutual fondness of the activity. As my artistic ability is limited to wordsmithy, I mentioned that my in-class anti-boredom hobby is slightly different.
"I make lists," I said.
From his amusement I determined that sitting around making lists is either a mild form of OCD or a rare eccentricity. Thankfully I'm strange enough that my hobby needed no further explanation besides details on the lists themselves.
When I'm thinking about something, I like to have the details laid out in front of me. I'll make lists of things to investigate on the internet (video game releases, product ratings, obscure things on wikipedia, ...), details associated with specific problems (family drama, issues to address at work, ...), or general pet peeves. The last item is generally the most fun, yet I often forget to bring 'em up in the company of others. And so this post becomes the harbinger of others to come: my stupid lists and discussions thereof. My audience here is small and my friends largely non-verbose, so I expect mostly to be talking to myself. As Friedrich InterNietzsche said, "When you speak into the Internet, the Internet backtalks you."
List #00: List of Lists I've Made in Class

News Highlights 08-03-09
Posted 15 years ago(Contagion) New HIV Strain
A 62-year-old Cameroon woman has been found to be infected with a new strain of HIV. Three strains of HIV are already known to science. This latest is suspected to have jumped from gorillas to humans, but the woman denies contact with apes and the consumption of their meat. But as television doctor Gregory House says, "Patients lie." After all, mankind's Supreme Primate Emissary Jane Goodall spent plenty of time in Gorilla cultures and did not get HIV. Moreover, doctors have issued warnings against the dangerous practice of silverbacking for many years.
(God) God Tunes Out Dying Prayers
When his daughter could not eat, he prayed. When his daughter could not walk, he prayed. When his daughter could not speak, he prayed. But God simply tuned him out and refused to heal the 11-year-old girl, who later died of complications of undiagnosed diabetes. It is unknown why God tuned out the father's prayers. It could be that He had more urgent miracles to grant in countries that don't have medical care capable of diagnosing and managing diabetes perfectly well, especially for families with health insurance. Or perhaps God simply had His iPod earbuds in to tune out the incessant favors mankind relentlessly asks of Him. Whichever the case, God must really have it out for this man, whose prayers were again unanswered as a jury found him guilty in his daughter's death.
(Pageantry)Little Miss Landmine
Cambodia's planned "Miss Landmine" contest seems it will not take place, all thanks to the Cambodian government which found the notion offensive to all the Napoleon Blownapartes out there. The Cambodian Government's attempt to protect the disabled froma malicious able-bodied disability minstrel show themselves ought to fall on ruptured eardrums deaf ears, but Miss Landmine may need a helping hand or a foot up if its contestants are ever destined to take the stage and a break a leg. The Miss Landmine contest was to be a catharsis for landmine victims, a means of putting themselves back together, as an avenue for shared experience and empowerment. It would've been a blast.
(Movies) Spielberg Won't Be Stopped from Ruining Classic Film, Again
Taking a break from his usual themes of World War II, Jews Getting Persecuted, and Blatant Oscar Grab, Steven Spielberg is nurturing his latest cinematic hobby: ruining classic films. Begun last year with Indiana Jones IV, this time it's Jimmy Stewart's Harvey. In as much as Harvey is an acclaimed film that needs no remake, Spielberg has become a bland director who would fail to bring an entertaining stylization to a the film, which should be the primary reason to remake a classic film.
(Advertising) TiVo Enjoys Taking It from Both Ends
TiVo, marketed as an ad-skipping device, is now taking the cash-greased cock of advertisers by marketing products to ad-phobic consumers when they pause their shows. Consumers have loved but not entirely trusted TiVo since its inception, and many now use the device's uncanny taste-predictive capabilities as gaydar. With the addition of TiVo ads, TiVo's false "Homo" positives will become fewer and farther between. And it's still perfect for the gay on the go, whose busy schedule does not always permit primetime television viewing.
A 62-year-old Cameroon woman has been found to be infected with a new strain of HIV. Three strains of HIV are already known to science. This latest is suspected to have jumped from gorillas to humans, but the woman denies contact with apes and the consumption of their meat. But as television doctor Gregory House says, "Patients lie." After all, mankind's Supreme Primate Emissary Jane Goodall spent plenty of time in Gorilla cultures and did not get HIV. Moreover, doctors have issued warnings against the dangerous practice of silverbacking for many years.
(God) God Tunes Out Dying Prayers
When his daughter could not eat, he prayed. When his daughter could not walk, he prayed. When his daughter could not speak, he prayed. But God simply tuned him out and refused to heal the 11-year-old girl, who later died of complications of undiagnosed diabetes. It is unknown why God tuned out the father's prayers. It could be that He had more urgent miracles to grant in countries that don't have medical care capable of diagnosing and managing diabetes perfectly well, especially for families with health insurance. Or perhaps God simply had His iPod earbuds in to tune out the incessant favors mankind relentlessly asks of Him. Whichever the case, God must really have it out for this man, whose prayers were again unanswered as a jury found him guilty in his daughter's death.

Posted 15 years ago(Gay) Gunman Fires on Israeli LGBT Youth
Two have died in an attack on a Tel Aviv LGBT youth center, a place for LGBT teens to meet others like them and speak with counselors. Israel, save for some fundamentalist nutjobs, is generally pretty cool with "the gay".
(China) Chinese Man Dies of Plague
One death and 11 other infections of pneumonic plague in China have quarantined an entire town. Pneumonic plague is an infection of the lungs and can be spread by respiration, making it more virulent than bubonic plague. (See CDC Factsheet for more.) This is how it all started in World War Z.
(Gay) Dutch Double Dog Dare America
Five American-Dutch couples were married in Amsterdamn during yesterday, effectively double dog daring the United States to recognize their unions. In response, America called the Netherlands a "lie-bural poopyhead" to which Lady Liberty was heard rolling her large copper eyes.
(Derp) Aussie Town vs. Beggars
An Australian town plans to fine beggars for panhandling.

Posted 15 years ago(Carnage) NY Man Discovers Dogs Don't Fly
Oreo, a 1-year-old terrier, was alarmed to discover it was not destined to follow in the footsteps of the Wright Brothers when 19-year-old New Yorker Fabian Henderson allegedly flung him from a 6th floor roof. Happily, the dog survived, and despite shattered forelegs will be able to walk again. Unhappily, Fabian Henderson's ploy to draw attention from his incredibly Italian first name awkwardly coupled with a Scotch/English surname (which clash so terribly) has not been successful, and all the world now knows his shame.
(Abortion) RU, Brutus?
In spite of Emperor Popatine's fearmongering "threats" of excommunication for perscribing physicians, Italy will allow the sale of the abortifacent RU-486. It is expected that this will help bring an end to the ancient Greco-Roman practice of exposure to dispose of unwanted newborns, and experts predict the Italian baby harvest will be bleak this year.
(Gay) Meterologists Baffled by Greyscale Rainbows in Maine
Maine religious objectors to recent legislation to legalize gay marriage in the state still fail to understand the very basics of American culture and freedoms, such as plurality and the existence of a distinction between personal ethics and secular ethics, as they push to stop the legislation from taking effect. Feelings of persecution abound amongst faithful like Baptist pastor Bob Emrich, who insists the legislature has mocked "the deeply held faith of the Maine people" by permitting same-sex couples to enter into a legal contract even though both parties are of the same sex. Such blatant gender non-discrimination is at odds with Emrich's religious teachings on the matter, which he seems to wish the legislature would codify in law. It can be inferred that these teachings call for gender discrimination in areas thought to others to be absolutely irrelevant and at odds with the scientific and sociological research of the past fifty years.
(Gay) Spain Still Gayer Than Portugal
Two Portugese lesbians have been denied the opportunity to wed by the Portugese Constitutional Court, which ruled that a law defining marriage as male/female does not contradict a law forbidding discrimination based on sexual orientation. DERP!
(Religion) Santeria Goat Sacrifice Good to Go
A Texas court ruled that a Santeria priest's religious freedoms were violated when he was prevented from sacrificing livestock at his home. This reverses a lower court's ruling that a Texas law against animal cruelty, which prevented the sacrifices, did not target Santeria specifically and consequently was not a violation of religious freedom.
(Animals) VT Farmer Can't Keep Man-Raised Moose
Sadly, David Lawrence cannot keep Pete, the moose he rescued from a dog attack a year ago. Officials fear cross-contamination of chronic wasting disease if the moose mixes with farm-raised cervines, and Pete is too tame to be released into the wild. Instead, Pete will live out his days on an elk hunting reserve. Alternatively, Lawrence could move to Texas and sacrifice Pete in the name of religion.

Posted 15 years ago(Irony) Guess who needs a tow?
Texting often entertains the bored and spiritless during their aimless march through life, and the amount that an individual texts is known to science to be inversely proportional to that individual's conversational appeal. In fact, it's been demonstrated that boredom can spread virally through text messages from bored or boring people, with texting drivers being shown to be the most damningly dull and alarmingly reckless texters. Such is the case of NY driver Nicholas Sparks, whose text message screen fascinated him in the very same way that the road did not, causing his tow truck to collide with another vehicle and promptly splash into a swimming pool.
(Abuse) Slow Cooker, Interrupted
A MA mother, not realizing a 120* attic would be perfect for slow cooking a child, locked away 5-year-old special needs boy with the asbestos babysitter until police arrived. Police found the boy had derped and marinated himself in vomit. Cannibal culinary experts did not return smoke signals for comments on the recipe.
(God) God Fails to Heal Child, Sends Another Parent Up the River in His Name
In 2003, 11-year-old Madeline Neumann of Wausau, Wis. died of complications from diabetes even as a prayer circle enclosed her and beseeched God to heal her. Her father, unjustly on trial for God's failing, explained to the jury that doctors are not a part of God's plan, and that he has personally heard from God and burned books on his orders. Prayers to God for comment were answered with mild tinnitus reminiscent of dial tones, and the court has not issued a subpoena for Him to testify.
(Alabama) Prudes Against Nudes
Consistent with Alabama's ban on ever being naked even in one's own house, Cycles Gladiator wine was banned in the state for its logo depicting a naked nymph. Predictably, this has led to a spike in sale of the wine, and if Starbucks is smart they'll switch stateside logos back to original form to capitalize on Alabama's prudishness.
(China) Abortions Galore
Unsurprisingly, China performs more abortions per year than any other nation due to China's staggering population and poor sexual knowledge in a country with government-controlled media. But surprisingly, the AP article describes the morning after pill as an abortifacent when the consensus is that it's contraception: pregnancy does not take place.
(Medicine) Americans Spend Money on Shit That Don't Work
Friends don't let friends spend $34 billion on alternative medicine. Just remember what Uncle Kage says: if this shit worked it wouldn't be called alternative medicine, it'd be called medicine.
(Derp) Mudflaps
Furry scientists have discovered labium around the anus of a promiscuous Hellhound known as "Loki". "We are very excited," said one scientist, who preferred to remain anon-anus. "We are also very confused." Science cannot yet explain the purpose of the anal lips and preliminary findings suggest that the lips make wiping incredibly inconvenient. "Right now," the unnamed scientist continued. "We're calling them mudflaps."

Rodell Vereen's star-crossed love story with 21-year-old Sugar ends where it began, for the second time. Sugar's recent recurrence of strange infections led to Vereen being caught on tape and confronted with a shotgun when Sugar's owner caught him porking her horse. Vereen's last buggery conviction required that he register as a sex offender.

Ms. Derp has still not left the PTA meeting at Meme Road Elementary School despite being asked to leave an hour ago. It is not clear whether Ms. Derp has a child currently enrolled in the school, but if she has, the principal has threatened expulsion for the child if Ms. Derp's continued expulsions of liquid diarrhea and intermittent Tourette's-like cries of "DERP!" continue.
