I was betrayed by someone at one time. I have thought about it from time to time. I have decided to look at it like this. This person is an acquaintance, someone I know and maybe do things will but not someone who I might consider to be a friend. I have always been slow to call someone a friend. But I think in doing so I have made myself lucky as I have 5 best friends. These are folks who would be there for me if I was in a bind. Oh sure they might kid me about what happened later on but I know I could count on them. I think in the fandom folks jump at someone wanting to be friends. They jump so fast that they do not know who they are befriending. Because of this when something bad happens at either end someone easily drops the other.
Now in other terms, I know I have cheesed off my close friends a few time. But I have forgiven them. As they too have ticked me off also. But in turn I have forgiven them and become the wiser.
Now I am always looking to make friends with others. I just go at it a lot slower then most I guess. How about yourself??? |

| A challenge to the fandom |

Sooooo who out there can get Tilt to go to a Huddle House. Or maybe Macaroni Grill?
How about it?
I bet even Foxwell with all of his charm can succeed there. |

| Turu the Terrible |
[May. 15th, 2008|12:33 am] |
I am watching Jonny Quest again. Another possible character to be inspired by Turu, a Tyranadon (9sp)
Heh, on the Amazon Queen also. It was funny watching it as before I saw the name and was looking at the boat I thought how similiar it was to the African Queen.
Hmmmm another Don from the past. Such Criminal creatures of the past. |

| Lawton Gig |
[May. 14th, 2008|10:27 pm] |
Gah what a drive to get down there. I also learned a good lesson. Don't use a hot tub before a gig as all you are doing is pre-heating your body. Keegan was the escort this time and he was very attentive. He caught a little kid that had run right in front me that was below my view.
It is a good idea to keep building up those who have character knowledge so when that gig comes up with a lot of gigs that one day I have folks to put into suit.
That could be just a Florida thing but this works just in case.
Good day over all.
I have a gig this coming Sunday as a Costume Specialist with Scooby. Let's see who show up for it. |

| Food Glorious Food A resturant Guide |
[May. 14th, 2008|05:26 pm] |
I have had the opportunity to travel around the US a bit and get to eat at some pretty cool places while doing that. Most recently I have been talking to Sabrecat about places to eat at that I thought were darn cool. We both shared some places that we both enjoyed. Now, furthermore I told fuzzyfin about the Safe House in Milwaukee. This is such a cool place to eat at. It features all the things you would hope to find at a safe house. A pass word to get in, Hiding tables, secret exits and more. Fuzzyfin finally got there recently and now I read in her LJ she is going back again soon. I think that says something. This place made an impact on me I actually remember the address to the Place 222 Front St. Heh.
So where can you recommend for either low priced Great food, a really fun place to eat at or great atmosphere.
I would recomend more. But sadly most of them have closed or changed hands. But I will talk about them.
Let's here about them
Oh I will cheat on one One of my favorite places in GA is located in Marietta and is called Marietta's Diner. Such a great selection of food and at reasonable prices. It is a beautiful place to eat at also. Here is a URL also http://www.mariettadiner.net/
I could post another one also but I am sure someone else would post it. |

| The Food Poll |
[May. 14th, 2008|02:17 am] |
Mycroft amended the poll so now there is a number 1 question.
So what was that question?
1. Are you a Vegetarian/Vegan.
Ummm Hell no. I eat Meat.
But while I am there. Not to offend someone that is. I just do not understand Vegans. They are against meat and animal products. Some say as it hurts the Planet. Well what about those rubber shoes that do not bio-degrade? to me Meat is more natural, leather is the same.
Some Vegans eat processed foods. What about how that stuff is made. Animal fats to cook it with. Like junk food like chips and such.
I just do not get it. |

Sabres also known Smilidons. Notice the part of the name "Dons"
If you look closely at the front paws it shows only toes including the dew claw and 4 toes on the back feet. Now a Sabre or any normal feline would have 5 toes on the front paw. So what does this mean? They are members of the Yakuza and have lost a finger (toe) on each front paw.
How about that?? My guess for their extinction is that they were "Rubbed out" by the newer Big Cats. Cats like rubbing against things to mark their scent. This must be where Rubbing out came from.
Sabres were the First Organized crime of that time period. |

| I thought this was fun sounding |
[May. 13th, 2008|11:41 pm] |
1. No idea what this question was.
2. What's your favorite food? Sushi, has to be sushi
3. White bread or whole wheat? Wheat bread with raisens
4. What's for breakfast? Eggs, I gotta have them. Sunny Side up and little bit crispy along the edge. If not that Scambled eggs with salt and pepper.
5. You're making a Dagwood sandwich. What's in it? Everything I can possibly put on it. Like my Pizza.
6. What's on your pizza? Funny I answered this. But it should have much on it as possible but not to forget pineapple and Anchovies.
7. Coffee, tea, milk, or soda? Let's see Sweet Tea. I mean properly made sweet tea. Raspberry Tea is great also Chocolate Milk Soda? Now in days something diet.
8. Dark, milk, or white chocolate? Darker the better
9. Teetotal, beer, wine, or hard liquor? Beer, Wine and Hard the same night possibly.
10. Does cilantro taste like citrus, or like soap? I thought this was a hot pepper.
11. Is chorizo the greatest thing ever or is it totally disgusting? I've never heard the word apart from this quiz.
12. Do you use garlic like a vegetable or like a spice? Spice. Whenever I can.
13. Onions: raw, cooked, or not at all? Onions are great also. I like them in all manners.
14. Does broccoli taste sweet or bitter? sweet. Mildly.
15. How do you feel about fish? I thought I covered this with Sushi. But I will eat it everyway I can. I will skip it fried. but I can eat it that way also.
16. How about sushi? This test is backwards. The more exotic I will try it. Forget that Tekka Maki Stuff. It better have something that was swimming on it or I want my money back.
17. Fave ethnic cuisine? I guess Japanese though I love those South American all you can eat Meats. But I think that is more of a style of eating rather then a ethnic food. I am not sure.
18. What's your favorite fruit? I guess Apples. They can be sooo crisp tasting. I love Pears also so I am torn.
19. Cheese - thumbs up or thumbs down? Hell yes. I love Extra Sharp Cheddar.
20. Finally, favorite dessert? Ice Cream related is a must. I have to Banana Splits. |

| Furry Funk, Hah! That is nothing. |
[May. 12th, 2008|05:05 pm] |
There is always talk about fanboy funk. Pfffft, If folks are complaining about just that then they just do not get out enough. I have attended high end convention at really ritzy hotels and found funk.
Now here at the casino there is a new level of funk. When you are at a casino table you are stuck there unable to run away from the funk. You just have to learn inhale through your mouth and never, never use your nose. You almost want to rip out your nostrils.
Lastly there are those here take Funk to a new level. They will stay at their seat playing Poker or on a slot and they might be on a roll (or think they are) and will just relieve themselves right there. What is worse some poker players call it "weak" to leave the game to relieve themselves.
The Funk is out there. No where is safe, nowhere. |

| The Fun you Generate |
[May. 12th, 2008|04:19 pm] |
I found a nice inspirational post on Timduru's LJ. Timduru is one of the fandom's Suiters who I have a lot of respect for as he is one of the fandoms' biggest supporters. Least in my eyes he is.
I wonder why some folks suit, for what reasons. I think Timduru sums up his reasons for doing so in a much better post then I ever could do.
Take a read if you can.

| Rules |
[May. 12th, 2008|03:40 pm] |
Now these are rules for Jugular Jaguar. Jugular really was my first suit. I had bought another suit just before that but I had to go to a con to pick it up. Lincoln M Cougar, another Realms suit. Jugular cost me a Whole $300. He was used, New suit that someone else had bought but really could not handle the heat.
Have fun in suit
Perform for any audience
Try to have an edge
Listen to what is being said from those around you so you can play off of that.
Know where the cardboard is
Look for anything that can be used as a prop
What is climbable
Make someone smile if you can
Try to find what is topical for skits
Try to get others involved in the fun
It is not about how pretty your suit is but how much fun you have in it.
Let the fandom know that Raccoons are not as cute as everyone thinks that they are and should not be con mascots.
Swimming pools are for swimming in. Fursuits do not shed loads of fur it just looks odd when we jump into them is all.
If you cannot jump into a pool other areas of water will work.
Con staff are there to be entertained also by your antics.
Use Bells with Care.
Use your suit for good
If you use your suit for evil, make it good!!!
Get back at Exile one of these days.
Wildfox is still on the list also.
Jugular will do anything in suit that his "inner" spirit may not want to do.
Jugular Jaguar is not Calamity Cougar, the Cougar is a putz.
You may not be the prettiest suit out there but you are having the most fun likely.
Look for that person who may be left out and try to bring them in.
Some folks may not get your sense of humor. That is just the way it is.
Not everyone suits for the same reason as you do and do not share the same passion.
When you are feeling down that is when you really need to be in suit. When you lift up others you lift up your own spirit.
Follow your own advice especially with the above comment.
I guess there are other rules but they do not come to mind. |

| Influencing you to be furry |
[May. 8th, 2008|12:11 am] |
There are so many cartoons of the 60's that use animal creatures I am kinda surprised.
Thundar the Barbarian for starters.
Johnny Quest with the Were Wolves.
I am seeing more and more all the time. I think this bears a tag as I find more eps from various shows. |
