Great, looks like modern rock gone totally wrong.

And WTF is up with this? Shorts too big? Kilt gone awry?

"Hold still, this won't hurt... much. Sorry I forgot the Astroglide!"

Someone might want to tell Dexter Holland that his look is being stolen... badly.

"Filthy humans! Kneel before the Goa'uld!"

Somewhere, a feminist has an entire doctoral thesis to write about this one picture.

One of those times Meat Loaf finds very good reason upon waking to stay on the wagon and not fall off.

The fursuit pics are not needing commentary. They are self-damning.

I think he's freebasing fursuits.

IT IZ A FUZZY POTATO SACK MIT DER KITTIE EARZ!

The fellow in the right is a dripogryph... part horse, part schmuck.

The real miracle of this fursuit is that he hasn't been spooged on 127 times between the time he walked into the room, and the time this picture was taken.

"Someone rub my tummy! Or, at least scritch my scrotum!"

I love a parade.. especially when the prizes they're throwing to the crowd are repressed childhood issues.

The kangaroo is escorted about the con floor by Osama bin Laden, recently returned from a stay in Long Beach.

Boydyke of indeterminate gender AHOY!

Fursuit in the sun.... you can almost smell the funk.

The advantage of a diaper fetish mixed with fursuiting is you can take a squat anywhere.

Here we see three furries dressed up as a deer, a dog, and a honey-baked Virginia ham.

I'm not sure which is worse... cavorting in a fursuit, or a really lame hat and utility vest.

Legend has it that if a unicorn appears before people that do not believe in them, they will simply see a white mare. These days, however, when a unicorn appears before people, many simply see someone making an ass of themselves.

Are you people at a con, or going fly fishing? Make up your mind! Of course... if you're straining your pants pockets just by putting them on, I suppose a tackle vest WOULD be necessary.

Under normal circumstances, black is very slimming.................. under normal circumstances. In this case, a black out would be very slimming.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! OMFG! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

The scariest part about this is that someone, somewhere, sometime, has been in contact with this man's dick.

Coming soon, to a post office bulletin board near you.

Yogurt is supposed to be good for weight loss. UNLESS YOU STIR HAM INTO IT!

This was taken moments before these fellows' mere presence set the sprinkler system off.

POSTER BOY FOR TEH FURRIEZ! You know life has gotten pretty bad when YOUR BELLY IS YOUR OWN TRAVELLING ARM REST!

Here a furry demonstrates how his ability to contort his arms comes in handy FOR STREAMLINING HIMSELF TO BE INSERTED INTO THE PREVIOUS FELLOW'S RECTUM!

And they call US Nazis.

From the Channel 5 LiveTeam field crew.... this just in... you're old, fat, ugly, and BALDING. Get a haircut, hippy!

A late-breaking report from our man on the street indicates that YOU IDIOTS ARE NOT HARRISON FORD! Loose the hat, goober. Fedoras may be stylish in noir films, but not when paired with a t-shirt and fettucini hair.

"I've been having such a good time, I'd like to buy a t-shirt. Do you have any small sizes?"
"Miss, you are aware this is a furry con, don't you?"
"Hmm... well, I suppose I could keep one in my car as an emergency tent."">

Uggggh. Normally, I'd be all in favor of a photo of an asian chick in a collar, but my fantasy is forever ruined. Now I'll have visions of her walking in and going "Do you know where you put the Cheez Its at?"

I'll bet she was like Nikki Chao before the furries got to her.

She'd actually be okay if she just didn't pick her clothes from the reject piles of a Catholic school and an old Cyndi Lauper video. A tailored business suit with a smart skirt and some better glasses, and I'd let her spank me... maybe run a brush through that bird's nest, too.... and what'd yer momma tell you about standing up straight!

In Hell, all they play is Furry rock bands

See the poorly made fursuit check out the fat man's ass!

The Fursuit Dance has been postponed?! Great, I got a head start to run away!

I dunno which sound to put to this--Chewbacca's roar or a severely out of key version of "I Will Always Love You"...

In front of you, a Furry beatnik striking an amazing resemblance to a post-hitting-of-the-rockbottom Chris Jericho. In the back, a thuroughly astounded retard.

Like a horrifying Zelda dungeon...

In a perfect world, this would be the attendance of Califur...

JESUS-MOTHER-OF-FUCK!!!

Finally! Someone gets mauled at a furry convention!

Making a "Gaytrix" joke or whatever would just be too easy here...

Dressed like Anubis, because he's dead on the inside...

A first, lades and gentlemen; a man and a woman dancing together at a fur con! A MILESTONE, THIS IS!

By normal standards, no. By furry standards, she's Pamela fuggin' Anderson (though the most female furries I've seen are the fat goth bitches from the "let's get those SA terrorists" clip).

Damn furry assclowns...

She must be the plant sent in by SomethingAwful. There's a camera in those go-go boots.

That'd be an interesting sight... hire a model, stuff her C-cups in a SomethingAwful shirt, send her in.... and just see what happens. Would she be tolerated for the purposes of being the only attractive woman in there? Would she be escorted out, because she IS a woman, rather than a gheyboi? Or, would the furries just keep a 50-ft. swath around here at all times out of sheer xenophobia.

Hopefully it's not wool. I had a wool outback hat at geology field camp... after our first rain, I quickly abandoned it. It should have come with a label saying "Caution: Stinky When Wet."

There's nothing wrong with fedoras, but it takes a certain person to get away with wearing them. Something like a fedora is a good accent to an overall clean-cut and well-dressed appearance. At the very least, it can be pulled off with a nice button-down shirt..... I can't think of the name... the shirts that are cut like Hawaiian shirts, but without the loud prints.

The furries you generally see sporting a fedora or any kind of hat other than a ball cap... usually violate the sensibilities of good hat taste in two ways. (Mind you, I'm being glib here.... I'm hardly a member of the fashion police... but I think we can agree on some furry trends that are just wrong) The first is a fedora with long hair. Loose or in a ponytail, it's just a dorky combination. If you're an outdoorsy type, long hair and a "Snowy River" hat can be more successful, but it's still a fairly dorky look. The second is a fedora paired with jeans and a t-shirt.... double demerits if the shirt is some inane animal print.

If you pair the fedora, jeans and t-shirt with a trench coat (or one of those awful Austrialian dusters) and Converse sneakers, then you really have the makings of furry fashion. Furries have this strange notion that a fedora is instant noir-ish class. Put a fedora on a geek, and you don't have Bogart.. you have a geek that just enhanced his dork factor exponentially. I may not be fashion-forward, but I know a dufus when I see one. :D

Let's review, class:

No

Ah, see, I always wear my fedora with cargos, a utilitarian open brown jacket, and hiking boots.

And only when I'm hiking.

I'd imagine that's a modified Raiders of the Lost Ark look, and.. not like I'm an authority or anything.. but not out of place when hiking. Fashion sense is fair game when hiking, anyway, in the face of practicality and not wanting to wear anything you don't want to mess up. As someone with no hair on their head other than their eyebrows, I can attest to how the need for head covering when out and about often lends itself to making less than fashionable choices in the face of necessity. When I hike, I tend to take along a Buff. That alone confirms I'm no fashion guru. But, it fits in my pocket (I favor cargos for general wear as well as hiking... hard to find jeans cut to fit my quads, and I actually use the pockets, contrary to what certified fashion gurus might theorize) or on my wrist when not covering my head. It's light and airy when keeping the sun off, but has enough material to be a godsend in colder weather. A second one also comes in handy for the face if on very dusty trails (very handy in Montana).

So, I certainly have no qualifications to tell someone what to wear. But, I think most of us will agree that a fat furry stuffing himself into ratty jeans, a Metallica t-shirt, a black trenchcoat, converse hi-tops, and then trying to add class by topping his greasy head with a fedora is just laughable.

And yes... I have one of these...

Listen to the women first and foremost. I get plenty of compliments when I'm wearing my suit, black trench, and black leather hat. Especially with a black shirt and black tie. Not one bit of white. When you lean forward at the strip bar and they didn't see you because the other guys are in white shirts that are bright as small novae under the UV lights, they take notice more of you from then on. My wife used to be a stripper and I've been around hundreds of them. They prefer something to set you apart and given how many men they see, if you can get past their jaded senses, you're doing something right.

Long hair not going with fedoras kids? Please. Until I cut my ponytail, I used to get compliments on average at least once a week, especially with my leather hat. Even with the glasses.

Maybe it's more in the attitude, look on the face, and small talk. But I've done very well with my hats and hair.

What makes furries look so insufferably weird is the total combination. Vacuous conversation inbound to furry, chubby faces without any sign of work to them(when I had more weight and carried more in my face, I at least looked like I was chunky DESPITE working very fucking hard.), black t-shirts with tan shorts, socks with sandals, trench coats in the wrond season and temperature for them, and so forth.

It's one part how you look, one part how you act as well.

Most furries don't carry themselves as if they had any confidence and people smell prey. Smelling predator is sexier to people. They want to sense strength, confidence, intelligence, and a sense of ability to relate. Some empathy and some light comedy go a long way with this.

Furries aren't known for putting together a good package, personality and image together. So they compensate by trying harder to look weirder. Doesn't work.

I have an old army-surplus greatcoat for those occasions that I really need a jacket. I don't wear it much at this time of year, and it needs replacing since it's pretty much worn out, but I didn't get the thing for fashion. I got it because it's utterly impervious to scottish weather, and having a full-length coat is damn nice when the rain's coming in horizontally.

And although I do own a cossak hat, the only time I wear it is when I'm taking the piss. Or if it's really cold, at which point fashion be damned.

He's a Scot. Their beer is awful (hence why they drink Whiskey), and is referred to as "piss" because of its taste. Therefore, "taking the piss" is consuming alcohol.

To make things even more confusing, in Australia, 'taking the piss' generally means to be tormented or chided by one's peers. So when someone is teasing you mercilessly, you're taking the piss.

I have an irrational fear of mascot suits. This topic was more horrifying than anything the VCL could throw at me.

What's worse is the people NOT wearing costumes are just as hideous and terrifying as the costumes themselves!!!

In Britain (ie Scotland, England, and Wales), "taking the piss" is to make fun of X. The one doing the teasing is the one "taking the piss".

I have never heard of "taking the piss" being a reference to drinking, at least, not in England.

You all know about 'fags' right?

And bin liners, chips, and probably a bunch of others we absorbed via Doctor Who, Monty Python, and Tracey Ulman. And before Chris Baird mentions it, we probably might also be aware of Australians having more ways to cover beer/drunk-related throwing up than is mentally healthy.

W/regard to fags, we also call them cancer sticks in the US.

W/regard to fags, we also call them cancer sticks in the US.

Bitchy little queen you're becoming there. I think your cock ring has cut off circulation to the well behaved portion of your brain.

(I can slap back when I feel like it you know. I just generally ignore it the way I ignore my boss, my wife, my neighbors, etc. Mostly I couldn't give a fuck, but sometimes I'm willing to waste space with a pointless reply.)

Okay. I'm kind of wondering how I can be compared to a fag (the ciggie or the homo).

For furries, it would be more like Nutella.

Yukio Hattori: I'd don't think I've ever heard of any Chinese dishes, or any other cuisines, using this ingredient.

Kenji Fukui: That might explain Chen's comments when the ingredient was announced which are not fit for repeating here on television.
