It's legal as far as I know, there was a BBC special on "furries" that featured a guy who had cosmetic surgery to his face. He had a bunch of studs between his lip and nose which could be fitted with whiskers, and his whole face was tatooed with stripes in addition to all of the collogen which made it cat shaped. He had claws too, it was creepy as hell. I have the file at home that I can post later if somebody wants to host 30-60mb, just PM me. :)

Actually, now, that I think about it, I would more likely hire someone with elf ears than I would the people I see working at the fast food joints around here with giant plugs in their earlobes, spikes through their lips, pierced noses with stretch plugs, etc.

By the way, for about a month, you will have trouble identifying the direction a sound comes from, and even after that, it will be a LONG time before you can guess the altitude of a sound (e.g. above/below you) as accurately as you currently can.

I would suggest that you also have your balls "modified" in order to prohibit breeding, but I think the aforementioned ear modifications will serve as a sufficiently potent contraceptive.

Yes, according to my psych/bio class.

Hey, it's your life and don't let anybody tell you different. If you want to fvck it up and only be employable at Christmas time, I say go for it.

In all seriousness, the amount it would cost you would be nuts, get penis enlargement surgery, probably cheaper, and bound to get the girls.

My current size is PLENTY enough. I really want Elven ears man... Got any info on the price?

Presently, i am s, I don't see the prices of that anywhere! You are going to have to consolt a surgeon yourself!

Too subtle I guess.....:D

It's probably legal, but I doubt you could find a doctor willing to help you humiliate yourself for the rest of your life.

Why is it stupid? I think it's gonna be awesome!

What you think is awesome when you're 14 will change when you are mature enough to know what a moron you were when you were younger.


Kinda like idiots that get tattoos on their arms when they are 18-20, of some chick they've been banging for 2 months. Then when they are 30 they have to explain to their kids why they have a tattoo of some other ladies name on their arm.

Two pieces of advice:

1) As for employment, people won't be able to tell if your supposed to be an elf or a vulcan. If you're applying for a forrest service job, say "elf". If you're applying for an IT/Engineering job, say "vulcan". Either way, be sure to claim discrimination if you don't get the job.

2) As for what you'll be thinking when you're 30, my money is on "Thank god I had those stupid ears surgically removed when I was 19." Remember, anything that can be added through cosmetic surgery can also be removed. Speaking of which, don't even think about going under the knife until you have enough $$ saved up to reverse the procedure as well.

I was wondering if it was legal? Some guy at school said he knew some dude who wanted to get cat whiskers but he wasn't allowed to! :Q


This is a joke...right? If by some sick twist of fate it isn't, i'd go and see a councillor, you have some problems, and I do not mean that in jest.

There's a good chance that in 5-6 years, rather than get your ears pointed, you will look back on this time and wonder what the hell was wrong with you.:beer:
