Check out the "Where it all went wrong" thread on AFF. I reposted the Merlino article there (to save Mitch some bandwidth and to make sure the targeted audience got to read it), and the retards are reacting in the usual manner. Heh! :mrgreen:

YOU BASTARD

The strikethrough is gone! Now my cheapest and most cliched attempt at humor is lost forever!

Seriously though, I was going to say BAD IDEA until the Tapestries guy came along. Now it's likely that I got some of the story wrong, but I only have two sources for info on the FBI affair: this Portal Of Evil thread and a friend of mine who once ran a Secret Of NIMH MUCK (don't laugh... actually laugh all you want). He sounds quite on the defensive (there's a no-minors policy? AMAZING!) and it makes me wish I had tried to learn more about the incident.

You were accurate in most points (the thinly-veiled militant gay agenda, the elevator incident, etc.). The FBI stuff I had no evidence on, but it wouldn't have surprised me in the least.

I've even been in that Pit of Doom called "The Prancing Skiltaire" (yes, they even have a lighted sign out in front with that skiltaire critter on it, for all the neighborhood to see. Ugh!).

Oh, the stories I could give you about that once-decent looking home (I call it a "sitcom house" since it looks like it was originally built like one of those cool homes you see in circa 1960's sitcoms) turned into this biohazard that would even make a cat-hoarder gag. All I can say is "bring your own toilet paper".

A friend of mine once asked a well-known celebrity who was a voice-actor for Secret of NiMH (I wish I could say who, but I don't want any furry lurkers here to find out and hassle the poor guy) about furries that contacted him about his NiMH stint. The reply went along the lines of "....those damn furries have made my life a living hell".

I rather think that exposing some of the professional animators behind The Lion King to Simba gang-bang spooge, and other pros to materials relative to their hard work, would result in a load of damning statements about furry. From reading the archives on Quozl and Tress MacNeille, it would seem she(if she'd write a statement on the whole thing or Tom Ruegger maybe) alone could disillusion enough furs into maybe questiong the direction of the tide in furry(currently towards Hell).

Y'know, I used to think maybe some of what I wrote would be good to see in live action and that's how I tend to envision things as I write them, but the humor I tried in Toon Girls would be lost and the characters savaged for others' fetishes in two seconds. Yet another reason I tend to be very sparing these days with writing. I've heard artists say similar things about why they are somewhat less on the radar screen or less profuse with their work now. We shouldn't have to be afraid but there's no avoiding the pitfalls dug by the fetish freaks.

Oh, don't get me started on that blustering fartbag Quozl. The twink had the gall to diss me in a Yahoo group. I simply reminded the mutant about his sorrid criminal past, and the admin booted me because of it. Furries stick together (pun not necessarily intended), that's for sure.

I'd hate to see ALL toon pr0n go into extinction (well, maybe the BADLY DRAWN stuff, which IMO makes it truly horrid), but I just get the creeps when people talk about wanting to assbang every single one of the 102 Dalmations, Timon/Pumbaa slash fic (a warthog fucking ANYTHING, even with another warthog, makes me see green and purple spots), and testing Ashcroft's patience with seeing just how young they can make "cub art" before their door gets kicked in by the SWAT team.

BTW, been to AFF lately? The clowns are starting to already go into their "acceptence" mode regarding the upcoming C.S.I. episode (acting like "It's just a Halloween episode. No wonder they wanna talk about furry costumes.", "Hey' let's get all these shows together and MST them at a furry con sometime.", and other retarded shit like that). If only someone would delve into this whole "stages of furry reaction to the media" and make an essay about it. It's truly a term paper in psychiatry.

Sorry. All I had was some old camcorder footage of the horror, but no way to get it converted to anything online.

Well, I CAN try to describe the memory fragments as best as I can.

The reason I was there in the first place wasn't because I WANTED to be there (because I'd rather be anyplace but. And that DOES include "up the anus of a buffalo with the runs"). The (now former) friend I was crashing with before/after Comic-Con that year I later found out to be a "Skiltaire In Training", and would want to stop by the PS every time he got close to Garbage....I mean, Garden Grove, California.

After the con, he wanted to stay over at Mark's place overnight for one of Mark's notorious "after-con parties", and I was forced to tag along. I tried to make myself comfy on an old sofa WAYYYY in the back away from the orgy, and tried to go to sleep as best I could.

The next morning, most everyone had left (including my friend), so I was stuck several thousand miles away from home until "friend" would come back later that day from work to pick me up. Bored out of my skull, I tried to explore this notorious dump as best I could without being TOO intrusive.

Well, first off these memories are from 1990, after Merlino had owned the place for at least a decade. One can only imagine that the filth is twice as bad now, thirteen years later.

-- As mentioned, the large palm tree out at the curb had a large sign in front, lit from inside by a flouresent tube, with "THE PRANCING SKILTAIRE" and the Ken Sample drawing (as seen in Compy's article) on it. A MASSIVE weeping willow tree in the front yard has cut off all sunlight, and the front yard didn't even have a blade of grass. Just a big patch of grit & cockleburrs.

-- The front door was ALWAYS left open. allowing any sorts of vermin (two, four, six, and eight-legged kind) to come & go as they please.

-- Most just crashed where they could find a horizontal space, but for those "lucky" few that actually paid extra each month, they got their very own bedroom. One such fellow is known as "Roach Boy", probably because of the always darkened state of the bedroom right next to the front door and LAYERS of Wendy's burger wrappers all over the place (and the stench of several months worth of dried ketchup was obvious). Roach Boy insisted that I look through his photo albums of photos he took when he went to the administration offices of ALIEN PRODUCTIONS (the people who did "ALF". And this wasn't the studio where the show was shot, but just a space in some strip mall that handled the secreterial affairs of the company). How this blob managed to get as far as he did without a kisser full of pepper-spray is a mystery. Maybe his B.O. is stronger.

-- Another "Premium Member" is whom I've been told is known as "Latex Lad", and you can guess why he got that nickname. What you may NOT know is that he is supposed to own a full black rubber cheerleaders outfit, fitted to his size. Thank God I never saw it, with or without him in it.

-- A curio cabinet chock full of knick-knacks like skiltaire sculptures and otters.

-- Remember the line from Vyvyan where he said "The carpet is so filthy, that it's only the stubborn understains that are holding it together"? Well, that line's not as funny when you are actually walking on a "crunchy carpet".

-- Living room walls covered with animation cels from "Animalympics" (which might explain why this movie was a staple at very CF video room) and "Gatchaman" (aka Battle of the Planets).

-- The third bedroom was always kept with the door closed. The unknown occupant always made sure to quickly shut the door as he entered/exited the room. I DID manage to catch a glimpse of a giant furry banner of what I think is one of Steve Martin's characters.

The kitchen, and I call it a kitchen because it had something that resembled a stove & a fridge in there, even though both looked like they were barely in operation, was a sorry sight. No food but for a half-empty bag of M&Ms, dirty dishes everywhere, and a roll of paper towels (the reason I mention the paper towels comes in later).

-- The two bathrooms, as you can imagine of a house where NO ONE has any personal hygene or even the most rudimentary housekeeping skills, was something like a third-world latrine. Holes knocked into walls (probably from the many temper tantrums and fights that house has witnessed), the bowls were literally GLAZED into a bronze color from the bottom of the bowl up to the waterline from mineral deposits, and not a shred of TP in either one. Now, you'd think that the most likely place to find a spare roll might be in the cabinet under the sink, right?

WRONG!

What IS under the bathroom sinks of the Merlino bathrooms, you may be crazy enough to ask?

Well.........

1. Several old & mouldering black & white magazines where 87 year old geezers are spanking young cheerleaders with riding crops and hairbrushes

2. A program from a late-70's Gay Pride Parade

3. More magazines of geezers spanking cheerleaders, in various stages of decay.

4. A tub (not a tube. *TUB*) of KY (why am I not surprised?)

5. ABSOLUTELY NO TOILET PAPER WHATSOEVER. What did these clowns use to wipe their asses off with if they never have any TP?? (NO! Do not answer! I don't wanna know!!)

Fortunately, I was able to make sure there was any TP before I sat down. Good thing there was still a roll of paper towels in the "kitchen" to pilfer when no one was looking.

And, if you're not dead yet, brace yourselves for the true horror! The very place where Satan keeps HIS nightmares.........

MARK MERLINO'S BEDROOM!!!!

Oh, those poor walls! Those poor, poor walls! I feel so sorry for those walls for what ghastly scenes they had to witness, but were unable to scream out in pain. Perhaps there truly is a merciful God and the walls were able to hide their "eyes" behind the many Terrie Smith originals that were hung all over the place, or the many Reuben Avila sculptures of fucking weasels that were occupying the bookshelves. A fly the size of a peanut (I kid you not) buzzed furiously around in the walk-in closet in the desperate attempt to escape out the closed window. No doubt the poor creature wished he was back with his safe and cozy pile of dog turds instead being a captive witness to the soul-searing carnage that took place on the bed every night.

That's about it. Anything else is probably something my brain has tried to purge, for fear that the lasting effects may make me go into a McDonald's, say "THE SHRINERS ARE READING MY THOUGHTS!" and shoot up the place.

AHA

i KNEW those things existed
nobody wanted to believe me , there is a type of giant fly bigger than a normal fly and smaller than a horse fly

i know these things hang around truely fucked up spots cuz the only place i ever seen em was in what was probably one of the fucking worst bathrooms in one of the worst shithole clubs i was ever in , in buffalo

it was the type of bathroom that just had a long steel trough instead of urinals ..anyway i look up and right at eye level is this huge fly, so big i thought it was fake...then it started moving walked up the wall some
then i look over and theres like 2 more hanging out on the wall
Then i notcies the fuckign trough thing is apperently leaking and im standing in a huge puddle of piss

i tried telling my friends but they thought i was drunk and making shit up

(in fact this place got closed down the very next weekend after i was there cuz somebody got stabbed to death to give you an idea)

although i think id rather hang out there, provided it was still open, every single day for the next 20 years than spend 10 minutes at the prancing skiltaire judging by your description
holy shit

the odyssey of pain


woah

Dear lord, you poor man. You've seen too many things that never should have met with the eyesight of an innocent such as you. This completely eradicates any horror stories from Metrocon or whatever that i might have.

You...did cleanse yourself thouroughly with bleach and lye and fire about six or eight times after that...right? :(

These bastards are not unusual. They are the best reason other than your pet's health, to clean a ferret cage constantly. One gets into their pile of poop and the next things you know there's a swarm of the damn things. They also will lay eggs in any corpse and their maggots quickly reduce it to dessicated skin and bone.

The odd thing is, I've heard similar descriptions of other furry crash pads from other furs. My place looks like bachelor pad "lite". Merely needing stuff picked up and shelved when I get time and the beer bottles refunded(hey, more tobacco money). But this is more like a conscious effort to turn the place into as close a reason for the health department to burn it down in front of cheering crowds as you can get. There's a line between it happening gradually and wallowing in it cheerfully.

GREATEST STORY IN THE HISTORY OF EVER



Dude, if you could somehow dig up that camcorder footage and rip stills from it to accompany that AWESOME odyssey into BEYOND HELL, it could easily be made into the greatest CYD article yet.

Email me at "mhirtes@mailexcite.com", and we can work out something where I can make a DVD of the footage for you. Maybe you can then use it to do a rip into an .mpeg for others to lokk (and then gag) at.

I enjoyed the description of Mark's house so much ....I had to dig up this ancient thread from beforetimes..
Maybe all the newest members haven't read it! Pretty much a house of an average lifestyler...
I mean... slap yer monkey to furporn but... sheesh, don't live like dis! <=)

I don't see it turned into an article yet! Chup chup, people! =)

I don't know who this Quozl guy is, but I found a quote of his on this Miavir archive. This guy disturbs meh. This is a little old though, seems to be dated 2000.

Link: A Quote By Quozl

An excerpt:

Worried about being called a "skunkfucker" because you like furries? Get over it and get on with your life! If you let any derision from outside furry fandom get to you, then you're no better than what those know-nothings call you- YOU LET THEM WIN!

Instead of focusing on what's wrong with furry fandom and finding segments of the fandom you don't like, making them scapegoats or banning them altogether, why not find something RIGHT about furry fandom, like an old song from the 40's: "AC-CEN-TU-ATE the Positive"...


But that's the problem, we can't FIND anything positive about it! Instead of focusing on what's wrong? That's like saying, "Instead of focusing what's wrong with that sex offending pedophile, lets focus on what's positive! Hey! He is a good auto mechanic!"

EDIT: Could you post a link to that AFF thread you mentioned? I have no idea where that forum is. This Jedi's Google is weak in me.

My mental well being is A-OK. I'm at least able to tear myself away from furrydom's "Once a furry, always a furry" bullshit.

You gotta ask Wayd to get off his keester and copy over the needed footage for the rest of my video project so I can get closer to completing it, dammit (I mean, no "Sick Sad World of Furry" video could ever be complete without "The Avian Dancer" in it. It sums up the state of furrydumb so abso-fucking-lutely perfectly)

LOL. Apparently, Tumor's never had to deal with the biohazardous "Prancing Skiltaire", or it's pack of shrieking fanbois from Heck.

And gee, why would anyone still be irked about a guy who almost single-handedly ruined furry fandom and turned it into a herd of oversexed, vicious retards? And not only did he get away with it, he's allowed to come back in and continue his unholy work.

I mean, just go look at those fur dance videos again if you need any proof of how seriously corroded things have become.

You don't "get over" a visit to Merlino's house, Shawntae. You merely survive it.

I'm stilll amazed how Mike can go back and recall all of the horrors of that hated place..maybe it's like the D-day vets who go back to those places in France and Germany,trying to remember lost comrads and to wonder why the Enemy did what they did.

THAT was totally awesome, thanks for sharing. I can't believe they had a sign out front like that, thats just the most stupid, most gay, most god damn funny thing. I'm going so far as to back this thread up on my removable drive (where I keep my teeny toons collection, heh heh).

Hell, if someone can send me the tape / copy of the tape, I can use my computer's VIVO to import straight to MPEG, AVI, or whatever format.

From what I've read, just get a Barbie house, pour coffee grounds in the rooms, pee on it, stuff a couple of Wendy's junior bacon cheeseburgers in it, paint it with yogurt, wrap it in cling wrap, leave it in the sun for two weeks, and then unwrap it and you'll witness a similar environment.

You gotta ask Wayd to get off his keester and copy over the needed footage for the rest of my video project so I can get closer to completing it, dammit (I mean, no "Sick Sad World of Furry" video could ever be complete without "The Avian Dancer" in it. It sums up the state of furrydumb so abso-fucking-lutely perfectly)

I don't know how to seed through BT. Just download.

Oh yeah. I just knew that you were gonna have to reply to my comment, flamebot.

How me? I love you Mike, and only care for your mental well being. :lol:


My mental well being is A-OK. I'm at least able to tear myself away from furrydom's "Once a furry, always a furry" bullshit.

Unlike SOMEone that I know......

:wink:


Well, In all fairness, you DID pretty much call for me to do so by mentioning me by name you know.

And yes, ;you're doing a fine job of tearing yourself away. Uh huh. :shock:

Exactly why are you so obsessed with Merlino? I'd figure the average normal person would have gotten over something like this, like, a long time ago.

At what point does it get old?


LOL. Apparently, Tumor's never had to deal with the biohazardous "Prancing Skiltaire", or it's pack of shrieking fanbois from Heck.

And gee, why would anyone still be irked about a guy who almost single-handedly ruined furry fandom and turned it into a herd of oversexed, vicious retards? And not only did he get away with it, he's allowed to come back in and continue his unholy work.

I mean, just go look at those fur dance videos again if you need any proof of how seriously corroded things have become.

You don't "get over" a visit to Merlino's house, Shawntae. You merely survive it.


Noo, just that, things that happened to me 10 years ago I don't hold onto like Linus (is that how it's spelled) and his security blanket.

But then, what else would you have to talk about I guess. Shrug. I'm just saying. You don't like him. Check. He was a horrible person to you that did freaking stuff. Okay. Got it.

A decade has passed you know.

Hitler was a jerk. He did some nasty things to the Jews. Okay. Got it.

That is SOOOOO last century! :roll:

Goddammit, you invoked Godwin's law. Now this thread is officially shot to heck.

BTW, wonderfully horrific report from Merlinoland there, Michael. Once again, "furry" does what only "furry" can: make me laugh and want to vomit at the same time.

I haven't had the time to get the dual-deck VCR fixed properly and will have to cap it when I get a new card. I'll of course leave out my wedding footage. I'd rather bury that memory at this point.

For fuck's sake. I have a set of VCRs, a TV capture card, and a DVD burner, as well as TMPGenc to create shitty MPEGs and TMPGenc DVD Author to make (cringe) chapter selections.

Just send me the goddamned VHS tapes, or better, decent copies of them - because I won't be able to send them back immediately. I'm microbudgeted to the point of not eating this week - however, electricity is nearly free here, so I can intarweb all I want. :roll:

Oh come now, you can't tell me Merlino is equal to Hitler.

Sides, hard to complain about a guys oddness when he's doing it in his own home and you're there, well, basically for free. Can't go to folks house and run the show. I've met Merlino back in 96, can't say the fact he was gay wasn't sorta obvious (or is that my East Coast bias again).

The West is weird.

Heh. (that set up of saying "What you used to whore to phurrez, how did that feel" is so easy I won't even go there).

BTW, making fun of a nickname I made for a character I used in a college paper comic strip and sometimes use as a net Avatar isn't exactly the best getting under one's skin with name calling approach. It's not a TUMA'.

You might wanna go read that essay about Merlino here at CYD. Mark didn't restrict his weirdness to the confines of his shitho.....I mean, house.

And, as far as the "Tumor" comment, it's not so much a play on words but descriptive about you.

What does everyone think of my new avatar?

I was thinking of having it spell out the whole word, then leaving it, but opted to laze about. I created a uniform background, then two overlays I use over the letters to selectively show them. Somehow, ImageReady optimizes this much better than having several layers with letters on it.

... apologies to TMBG; even if that was their worst release.

No, I was more refering to what has caused the world to constantly run down memory lane with you (being that I think you're really the only person in the world that feels the need to envoke the Merlino card every month of your lasting days).

And as for the Tumor, if that's the case, then I'll happily be your tumor. (May improve ya looks). Of course, if you'd let sleeping dogs lie, Iwouldn't feel the need to bother replying to your high intellectual comments.

That's like asking Hitler (ooh, Goodwin) to be nice. There's only so much you can do with a defective personality, a power hungry ego... and a mind wrought with Syphilis..



Guys, we're fucking civil here - so stuff it up both of your butts and take it back to USENET... or just don't post. (It's got Paul Anka's guarantee!)

Guys, this is the third thread you both will have headed for the lock down. Mike.. Tamar... both of you being asses. Tamar's just putting it under a civil guise. Stop needling each other and go to your rooms. Remember when your parents would tell you, "I don't care who started it!" There was a reason for that. By the time they interceeded, one kid had started it, and the other had perpetuated it, and your mom or dad didn't care who did what. All they saw was two kids squabbling and decided it was time to lay down the law and put an end to it. You both have managed to already take two interesting topics and get them closed down with your sissy slapfights.

Mike, you know you're fueling Tamar's little trip of "Aww.. wookit da widdle weformed fuwwy stamping his feet. Ain't he cy00te? He t'inks he's all big an' bad an' stuff." You're just letting him look like a big shot to the furry lurkers as the latest fellow to step into the ring and take on Hurricane Hirtes.

Tamar, you know what you're doing isn't any better than Mike's tantrums against you. You're just being a well-behaved ass. It doesn't matter if you throw rocks or gravel at a beehive, they get pissed all the same. A troll that lifts his pinkie when he drinks is still a troll.

We don't care who started what, but we'd appreciate it if you'd both knock it off, in this thread or any others. Take your snowball fight to PM.

Cool with me. I'm mainly wanting to get "The Avian Dancer" footage.

Believe me you other guys out there in CYD-Land. Once you see this mylar-festooned spaztard in action, you'll understand why I think of this scene as the most important segment in the whole damn project. Such cluelessness and extroverted stupidity that this clown displayed is to me the most perfect example of furrydumb's horrid state that I have ever seen (and I have seen a whole fucking lot). Pure 24 karat Comedy Gold!

Once I get all the footage I can (or fill up the disc), my plan all along was to have it converted into a .wmv file (or some other format). Either done by myself or having the DVD-R master disc sent off to someone else on CYD who has the needed hard/software, and then have it available for free download via P2P and/or via Alaska's IRC channel (now wouldn't that piss off the furries).

You know, this is smelling more and more like an SA Goon ploy for comedy. They just love taking screen shots of flame wars like this.

That would require Mike to get along with someone long enough to pull it off. This has been going on for years, child.

Most furries can't keep to a gender that long.

Well, then forgive my youthful innocence toward Furries in general. I don't really know anyhting that has happened past what I've read here, so all of the first person stuff I'd need to know what's going on I just don't know about.

Quite frankly, I'm here for the comedy and the occasional serious conversation. Not to read ancient dramaz played out for our enjoyment.

Although reading about them from google is fun. (WTG Mike! That was a good one. Too bad the rubes didn't fathom just what was said.)
