Furries are people who dress like animals to have sex with each other, usually without regard for gender of their mate or the species of their costume. If that?s tough to wrap your head around, picture McGruff the Crime Dog coming to your school and humping your mascot?s leg. Plushies have a similar hobby, but instead of having sex with nerds dressed as animals, they consummate their relationships with their stuffed animals. I?m sure you?ve heard of these people; they?re the main reason the Care Bears declared war against us.

For a plushie out on the prowl, the good news is that barnyard puppets just can?t say no. And as for the furries, they don?t seem to be picky about who they mount. Maybe because they?re ecstatic to find other people with the same debilitating social handicap as themselves, but most likely because everyone looks hot as a six-foot chicken. I mean, who?s with me, how do you not [Censor?s note: you really didn?t want to read this part we cut] all the way into its chicken hole!?

Distinguishing Characteristics: You?ll know furries and plushies because they?ll either be wearing a crotchless panda suit or just a screaming teddy bear firmly against their crotch, respectively.


:Q

How'd they know about my bunny suit exploits?

That's pretty fooking cool, really. Do you build anything to make use of these engines?

I haven't, although I would like to..

I actually haven't been very active in the hobby lately.. It's more of a winter thing. It's fun to go out to a nice warm shop on a short, cold winter day and build an engine up.

My oldest (and only that I've truely restored so far) is a Briggs and Stratton Model Y built in Febuary 1931. In its previous life, it served as a humble washing machine engine.

It was in pretty good shape when I got it. Just needed to be freshened up. Whoever owned it before took good care of it, and it saw a lot of use. Cylinder wear was .005! Compression was only ~45 due to that an a very worn exhaust valve. It still started and ran good, though it smoked bad.

The plain bearings' babbit was completely gone on the PTO bearing. Locating a replacement bushing was a PITA. Heh..

Here are some other pics of running but not fully restored engines..

Briggs Model N made in the 40s.

Briggs Model 6S made in the 50s

Edit: OOps, I didn't mean to quote myself.. meant to edit.. lol

Holy sh!t dude, I have that same motor out in my shed. Running and all

<--- has 15+ small engines in his shed, all running. (in running condition you dolt!)

These geeks used to be called Trekkies, but now insist on the less derogatory term Trekkers, which is the image control equivalent of adding a koala bear to the Nazi flag.

[PatboyX]

comics rock!

 

[waggy]

hmm bummer. i collect comic books (have been for the last 20+ years), i enjoy playing D&D, played M:TG, and played Everquest.

Though i do have admit that lightning bold video scared me. I never been to a LARP before.
and the furries have me worried. kinda weird.

Don't ask. Found it installed on a client's computer once. Very... Creepy.

That's the last time I ever did research on a strange software title that I found on someone else's machine. It's apparently an online Furry MMORPG or summat.

lightning bolt!!lightning bolt!!lightning bolt!!lightning bolt!!lightning bolt!!lightning bolt!!lightning bolt!!

tap mountain for red mana...

[pnho]

Anime Conventions are a good place to go watch some LARPing lol.

It is called a MUCK

"One danger of vampiric sex is that many singles within in these communities are actually undercover vampire hunters waiting to jam a stake into you while you?re struggling to untie your corset. Aside from that hazard, though, it?s all good news: The dark creatures breed some pretty sexy people jammed into some skimpy leathery outfits."

Damn straight they do. Some (and I stress the some part) of those goth chicks are friggin hot. The rest are just way to damn weird.

 

[BatmanNate]

Wow, I'm only guilty on one account. That's mildly dissapointing. Good read though, made me laugh. :beer:

 

[FoBoT]

In early high school year I was into collecting comics and paper RPG. Guess what? My sex life was nil. You young geeks out there should pay attention to this list. Renounce your geeky ways. Go into hobbies such as car modding (rice mobiles), hip hop, drinking, and/or sports.

I still fall into 4 of those catagories and yes, high school sucked. But since I got to college I haven't had any problems with either rating
