No.<br><br>I would have said "yes" a few months ago but, after actually talking to furries, I can say that I find them, for the most part, creepy.<br><br>The vocabulary alone is enough to make me vomit.

Furries probably find the feeling mutual. You've been known to creep me out sometimes.<br><br>Edit: Umm... how much of that wackiness comes to you naturally? Is there some sort of special education people get for that?<br><br>Of course, it takes all kinds here, and you know that that's one of the things I like most about this place.

If you've done things right, people won't be sure if you've done anything at all.

Well, I dunno...<br>I'm all "Woo go furry! I love fangs! And claws! And wolves! And the full moon! And evil-ish stuff! And all you artists out there!"<br>But I've kinda lost the original feeling I used to have, like I had the mind of an animal.<br>But then, I've been kinda furry all my life.<br>Is it possible to lose your furry-ness?

On a more serious note, I've noticed that stagnation seems to be behind quite a few problems people have. A lack of change leads to lack of motivation, which in turn leads to introspection.<br><br>Personally I've got a serious case of Wanderlust <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo--> Someone lemme outta this cityyyyyyyyyyyyy...<br><br>As for the vote *umms and ahhhs for a good hour*<br><br>Yes.<br><br>EDIT- Er, vocabulary? Could you elaborate a lil' Saladman? I've found some cases of rather-pointless word changing that can get a little grating, but nothing that makes me go "Ewwwwwww..."

Lol, I'm afraid I have to do that regardless or I'd look uglier than I already do.<br><br>And there ought to be a site call The Furry Glossary full of all of them furry terms and the meanings behind them.<br>Like; "yiff" is the sound of the fox's mating call.<br>EDIT: <a href='http://www.furcen.org/fgc/glossary.html' target='_blank'>Found one!</a>
Thanks for that BSP!<br><br>Looking through it though, I stand by my statement. Apart from a few animal / furry specific terms, most of it is fairly standard internet fare, contractions and actions and such.<br><br>Only a few I could see any potential problem with.<br><br>*Baffled*

All the web-comics i read are prominently furry and my comic art tends to be overwhelmingly furry, but i am not involved in furry fandom, role playing, or conventions. I'm in this furry thing strictly from an artistic viewpoint, not lifestyle (if it be lifestyle).<br><br>There should be more options, one that's halfway between "yes" and "no", and another about rutabegas.

In my mind furry fandom is just another thing that's gotten out of hand.<br><br>Like <i>Star Wars</i> fans who dress up like Jar Jar to go movie premiers. (Seriously, what's up with that?)<br><br>And they're not the only fan group that has their own vocabulary. <a href='http://www.cesnur.org/recens/potter_068.htm' target='_blank'>Lookie here.</a>
Most, yes. A lot.<br><br><!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->
