Did you ever see "Carousel"? There's a song in it "Surry With A Fringe on Top".

It was Carousel, right? I'm not mixing up old time musicals I hope :o


No, Oklahoma.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

It doesn't seem to matter if you have fur or not.

Hell, I have not a keratin strand on me, and people STILL call me a "furry". O.o

I suppose it's the stereotype "you're an anthropomorphic animal character", but I'm actually not; I only am anthropomorphic when I am working on something which needs it, or am too lazy to change back at the moment.

I suppose there would be the behavior stereotype, but I don't go around looking for yiffs (or rawrs, in the case of Dragons). As for the "attachments" thing, I don't have any "attachments"; anything I have is integral to the form, and for purposes of completeness / being "whole".

So, I usually correct such people in a number of amusing ways. My favorite is returning to my true quadrupedal form and eating them for their audacity to suggest such a thing. :)

From: say Moo
anyway.. people tend to act as a hurd of sheep..
blindly following the so called leaders, because they are lazy.

So, are people who think furr are non canine, just because one peep told them. or some lazy journalist tells them in a story.

Furries, (if you like me have read numerous arcticles, historical articles and dictorionaries and encyclopedia's)
you find that the furr is in roleplay perspective, and that's what we are talking about, is related/originated to/from the canine spiecies.

and the Neko from the feline spieces.

If SL cultures tend to bend this definition, that doesn't make it the bended definition as THE definition. no it's a hybrid new definition, through lack of something created. (lazyness, hurd culture, or limitations/acceptance of the technology.)
Have you ever been to a RL Furry convention?

I think attending one of those, would define if you're a real furry or not ;)

Yus, we do everything nom-related from lick, nibble, chomp, gulp, chew, bite, nom, etc. When we are small, like hatchies, it's nibble/nom/lick/bite. When we're bigger, it is basically the same, but larger scale, and usually messier. ;)

You can learn a lot though by just staying in the hotel and watching.

/checks calendar ... nope, not Friday. Yet.

But someone insisted I was a furry the other day, and it's been bothering me.

Evidence:

1. I'm fuzzy.

2. I look in the mirror (OK, mirrors don't really work in SL, so I have to sort of cam into the wall and simulate it) and see the llama.

3. My poor GF was confused at the beach party because I showed up as a human in swim shorts. There are a few people who have caught me in my human suit and didnt recognize me at all.

4. A total stranger told me I was a furry. In fact, he INSISTED that I was a furry, and further asserted I was weird. (I already know I'm weird, I didn't need his input on that.)

5. I've gotten spam for The Ark three times in the last two weeks. I've never been there, I swear.

Someone help me with my identity crisis? Furry, or not furry?



Naw. If you were a true blue honest to goodness, furry you'd be a furry ALL the time and wouldn't even own or care about having a human form. You'd be walking the walk, AND talking the talk AND Living the second furry life......always. I have a landowner on my sim like you......she just likes being a purple bunneh sometimes.....but sometimes she's human, depends on how she feels that day.

Ick, then you haven't seen a furry convention. I love CSI, but that episode was awful.

I don't even have a human avatar among all five Argents, and I don't think I've *ever* received advertising material for "The Ark". Perhaps I'm hanging out in the wrong places?

We're all mammals, babe.
I have avatars that are neither biological nor biomorphic.
From: Dante Tucker
There is a whole lifestyle involved, that people participate in with varying degrees of participation.
Well, I don't know. There was enough of a distinction between "furry lifestylers" and "furries" that a separate "alt.fan.furry.lifestyle" got created on Usenet. Though it might have been a joke.

I think attending [a furry convention] would define if you're a real furry or not ;)
Then I'm not, despite not having a single human avatar. Which is fine, since I don't self-identify as any such label.

Zomg! You are teh furry!

...and that image with the catgirl -> cat has been doctored (kinda gross-hilarious though in meaning) - the last caption is a rather scary anime reference, but I won't get into it.

Probably encyclopedia dramatica would help.

Do you mean this version? (censored for teh PG forum)

I like it too but I always have to suspend a lot of disbelief. It's like they are in a universe similar but not quite like ours.
