Sounds good to me.
I know, I was just pokin’. 
What if I’m already home?
I could go to bed, I guess; it’s awfully late.
Don’t we get to find out who wins the backpedaling silver and bronze?
Yeah, I know! She took her user name from something kind of obscure, instead of the incredibly well known source that you’d never even heard of! This totally validates your nutless swipe at someone’s user name!
But rest assured, if he were ever to put his mind to it, if he were ever to decide to give it a try, no doubt he could quickly achieve a level of costume mastery, his output easily rivaling the the work of full-time costume-party professionals.
No, I couldn’t. I don’t do that. I don’t think I could be good at everything, or even much of anything. You’re making referenve to the screenplay thing, but writing is one of the few things I can do and trying a different format did not seem like a leap to me, as I proved with relative ease.

"LEEROYYYYYYYYYY JENKINNNNNNNNNS!"
Actually, what it invalidated was your condescending, smarter/holier-than-thou bullshit, which I found to be quite refreshing! The fact that it comes from a show that I distinctly remember being too childlike for my tastes by the time I hit my eighth birthday is the icing on the cake.
Emotionally stunted? Nah, couldn’t be!
sigh My only real regret in life is that I never got to connect my soul with a character from an '80s cartoon show that was created to sell cereal and action figures! wipes a single tear from cheek
I can see this thread population is splitting into 3 camps:
-
Those who share a similar sense of humour to me, and think that anyone who dresses up as anime-als on a regular basis - without getting paid for it - is fair game for giggling at.
-
Those who don’t get my sense of humour.
3.Those who think I am a humourless, boorish, fucktard.
The last group can go fuck a pig. Anyone else, I’m prepared to have a discussion with.
speling misteak.
Well, you connected your soul with an unimaginably dense object. That’s not a bad choice either.
FYI: Babes with Blades appears to be a professional acting troupe. They receive arts grants and put on various productions.
Nice marketing, I say. And stage fighting is a legitimate art form, IMHO.
Hi! My name is MfM and I once attended a Renaissance Fair!
“Hi MfM!”
But I was young, naive and even a little drunk: I swear!
Oddly enough, some of the craft people (garbed in period costumes) seemed when pressed to think that some of the entertainers were a little… strange. “Some of those guys live this 24/7”, they whispered (or so I recall, with a dim memory and some exaggeration).
Enlightened me was of course outraged that one human would opine that another was acting a little silly and -er- theatrical, but I wisely held my council.
Being young, I was as yet unaware of both fur fandom and plushophiles, as well as the categorical imperative to treat them with all the respect and deference that I accord to those wearing bunny costumes or nose glasses. So I couldn’t survey the views on this point, but I might speculate that the perceptions of weirdness aren’t exactly unusual in certain contexts. The RenFair performers certainly encountered it regularly and it didn’t seem to give them pause.
Thanks! I think!
Treating this thread seriously for a moment, I’d like to suggest that the response below is as valid as it gets in reaction to my original sin, and my OP.
To counter this, I’d like to propose that Cafe Society and The Game Room are the most social fora, and that Mundane Pointless Stuff, is exactly that, and that anything posted in it should not be looked on with great seriousness. I await your corrections if I am way off beam…
Yeah, you’re about eight and a half years late on that burn (I used it on myself when I made this my name in 2000), but nice try!
Please tell me these 3 aren’t representative of “real Furries”? You mean to say some factions have a vow of silence, or can they make animal noises?
Hey, cut me some slack here; it’s the middle of the night. Just don’t set yourself up so obviously and people won’t be tempted to take the easy shots. Fine… um, you spew a nimbus of deadly radiation in all directions, and if you keep sucking so badly you may eventually collapse and disappear entirely. Any better?
Anyway, I refuse to be lectured on burnsauce by somebody who makes fun of other peoples’ internet usernames with: “or are you just bad at spelling?” and “BWAHAHA!” You think that sort of routine deserves a worthy comeback on my part? I save my A-material for people like William Blake.
Yes, much.
The username thing was pretty much a throwaway post, and the other thing basically spoke for itself, so it’s not like I was really trying to lay down massive ice burns or anything in either of those cases. I’m not going to waste my A-material on a stinkin’ furry!
Yeah, sure. That’s what Mumm-Ra always told himself, too.
I take it this must be legal? My innocence has been shattered.
I finally managed to get an interview with a spokesfurson from the Furry Protection Society. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcVk2g9fo4Y&NR=1
FWIW, I agree, that is the “sin”. Whatever my own feelings on furries, I would never go into their gathering just to snicker at them. Just rude, and in a forum where rudeness is not acceptable.
