Scott Malcomson, "Furry Artist / Reform Party Candidate for Governor of Arizona" (WTF?!)

"Then there is Scott Malcomson, who certainly isn't in it for the money. Malcomson was the Arizona candidate for governor in 1998, thanks to there being fewer than 1000 registered Reform voters in that state. He got on the ballot with fewer than 10 signatures, and ran a campaign of sorts that netted him fewer than 8000 votes. Malcomson is more famous on the Internet though, as a member of furry fandom, a subset of people who enjoy playing anthropomorphic animals and drawing pictures of them. On FurryMUCK, an interactive computer environment, Malcomson is Roy, and Roy is a balloonicorn. A whaticorn? A balloonicorn. His player info on Furry reads, in part: "Roy is the last survivor of the Eridani Light Horse's 71st Light Horse Regiment.

Once human, he found himself transformed into a living version of his company's symbolic mascot, and was teleported away to the Past and Future Inn, a multidimensional meeting place near a center of great magical power. He found he had some magical abilities, but due to his upbringing he doesn't use it much. Otherwise, he's yer classic ex-tanker veteran with a taste for fun and alcohol." A ballonicorn is an inflatable unicorn, you see. Malcomson is also an artist, and has furry art up on various places on the Internet, including this piece: http://users.transfur.com/morphy/image/image9.htm, which portrays a bipedal unicorn with human breasts and a vagina inside a giant bubble gum bubble.

With my recent animosity towards Ebony, I almost sent this in PM. However, I do admit that Ebony has value here, and my animosity was not perpetual... only hitting a momentary critical mass with respect to his communication skills. I'm much better, now. Thank you for the flowers and cards. Seriously, Ebony, your presence here is of value.

But, I had to do this in the thread itself, just so everyone can know I'm bowing to 21st Century Digital Boy's skills as a wordsmith here. Not that I'm some paragon of journalism or anything, but, since I seem to be the one known for knowing my way around the English language..... or at least using it in excess.... I just had to tip my cap to CDB here for that eloquently simplistic, yet highly applicable description.
