Enoch Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 I should say that my impression is based primarily on the degree to which drivers pay attention to pedestrians while in a relatively urban environment. Highway behavior might well be very different. The Land Rover drivers that I most often find myself at odds with tend to be trophy wives looking for parking spots near the nail salon. Land Rovers are really rare around my parts, I've only seen one, and it was modified for extreme terrain driving and used as an tractor more than an car really. I live on the countryside and the most common car here is just a normal roadcar, the only exception is my uncles King Cab. To be clear, I mean this kind of Land Rover: Not this kind:
Azdeus Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Hehehe, yeah, I know; I've only seen the second kind though, they really are'nt that popular around here otherwise. Many more Audi's and BMW's though. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

AGX-17 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Technically yesterday, but I was stopping for pizza (schmizza,) for dinner on my way home last night and a businessman ahead of me legitimately pulled out a wad of cash in a money clip to pay, there were at least two $100 bills, and that's in a wad that must have been an inch thick, folded in half. He didn't have a top hat or a walking stick with a solid gold eagle-shaped cudgel on top. That surprised me. 1

The only reason I posted it was that I was surprised it came from someone here - I like this board and the people here and it was unexpected. I'm no stranger to internet harassment, it's no biggie.

Blarghagh Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Bad luck, no furries. I've got a five year old piece of Bioware fanart that is a bit embarrassing however.

AGX-17 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Bad luck, no furries. I've got a five year old piece of Bioware fanart that is a bit embarrassing however. No, bad luck is encountering furries in any aspect of human life. Same goes for bronys. I remember my first day at university, I saw a rotund female wearing a velvet cape. I thought that was bad. I reassessed my opinion after seeing a guy with a picture of his fursona safety-pinned to his jacket with some sort of fake animal ears attached to the hood. The latest offense is that there's a brony with rainbow-dyed hair who exclusively wears MLP T-shirts and carries a MLP backpack wandering around campus while I wait for my microbiology lecture. Speaking of which, the lab's only worth 30% of the final grade even though missing more than two gets an automatic F. Attendance/participation are only worth 5 out of that 30. Insert Jerry Seinfeld reaction here. Edited November 12, 2013 by AGX-17

AGX-17 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Furriers are also a bunch of f'ing weirdos, too. I'd feel sorry for them, being victims of a severe mental illness, if they weren't so eager to share intimate details of their fetish with anyone and everyone who is not comatose.

Plus, while I'm obviously not the demographic for that show and I'm not a fan, I have to objectively say that it's a show with quality writing and characterization (I'm an animator and I give any animated show at least a couple of episodes). On the other hand, furries weird me the hell out and I rue the day someone explained to me what yiffing was by googling it. Edited November 12, 2013 by TrueNeutral 1

Blarghagh Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) I've only met one furry in real life. This would be a guy who believed that he was exactly like a transgendered person, but instead of being born as the wrong gender he was born as the wrong species. He truly believed that he was a dog in a man's body. In truth he was just guano. Edited November 12, 2013 by TrueNeutral 4

Calax Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 So, you go from anthromorphic to helping anthromorphic people with their costumes? That's quite the transition. Bought the V70 btw. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Amentep Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 AFAIK furries don't use real fur in their costumes. I'd imagine killing a billion rabbits to make a rabbit costume so you can go squiffing would be a bit traumatic for the furry involved. Could be wrong, not really up on furry culture. 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
