I think I met her... definite weirdo vibes were given off.

That's a long list... comprised almost entirely of things that anyone with common sense would know already. It's slightly creepy that she actually had experiences that necessitated making such a list. Once gain, furcons seem to consist of one violation of decorum after another.

As a wise man once said (or it might have just been Jeff Foxworthy) the saddest thing is no one would list things not to do if someone hadn't already tried or done it before.

Like the silica packets that say "do not eat". Or my car manual stating that "Warning: This is not a water or air based vehicle."

Oh...lets not go into the packets or nuts that say 'warning:may contain nuts'...we'll be here all night

Considering Thornwolf, I'm assuming you were the one giving off the vibes?

Agreed, although I think it would make for some good LOLZ if someone would start a seperate thread with screenshots of products with this kind of moronic labeling :)

-Ask me to draw you stuff. I will be taking sketchbook sketch commissions at this con for $15+, just ask

-Invite me to dinner. The worst I could say is "I already have plans" right?

Maybe it wasn't her. I tnd to just get certain vibes from people. Can't explain it.

You WERE at a con when you met her, I assume? Your creep-o-meter might've just been getting misdirected.

I don't give a shit about Denny's cuz they're used to hobos and wasteoids so I doubt furry folk would freak them out much

Thornwolf speaks the truth.

Damn, don't even talk to me about Denny's. It was THE place to go eat at all the Anthrocons hosted at the Adams Mark. I had to take my badge off when I went in there just to get some decent service without snears and dirty looks from the waitresses, because these furry fucks were so rude and indecent it wasn't even funny. I mean, I don't give a shit if you are gay, but even level-headed straight couples do not swap spit and grope each other in ANY public area. It was the first and last time I venture outside a convention hotel to another public place where they tend to congregate.

I am thinking of ripping off this person's do's and dont's list and printing it to a shirt to wear next time, because my personal space bubble has been violated in this fashion as well. These things really ought to be put into the pamphlet as well.

Fudd Ruckers still reigns as king, or at least they would if they were still around. Some little pizza shop near the hotel of AC this past year was almost constantly full. Nice little place, but yeah, I took off anything non-human before I went in. Everyone else seemed civil too. I guess because it was greek and nobody wants to mess with greeks.

Yeah, I know what pizza place you are talking about. It was about a half-mile walk, but it was so worth it for some good old generic yummy, greasy, cheesy pizzas. And not a big hit on the wallet to boot.

By the way, who here is planning on attending the Pittsburgh location this year? The giant convention space oughtta give me plenty of breathing room devoid of smelly, bearded fatties.

When I was at Conifur last year, there was a Denny's near the Radisson we were at. The group went there a couple times to eat and the wait staff was really nice.

Later on we found out they didnt have any clue what was going on until someone finally told them there was a convention across the street. Since they were getting so much buisness, they sent over a free pie for the game room as a thanks. There was no massive fursuit get-together at the Denny's or people going in for spite. It was really fun.

Im not the type to go "omg everyone in the world likes me and wants to date me" but given previous experiences (which I was shocked at, I thought this fandom was mostly /gay/ men) I've been thoroughly creeped out by folks coming on a little too strong when I reject their advances.

-Call me Thorn/Thornwolf/Nicole/Niko. I answer to most things. Thornwolf is your best bet if shouting over a long distance to get my attention. Thorn is less formal and I prefer it in casual conversation if you prefer to go by aliases. I don't mind either way.

Wait, this question is for you con goers. Do people actually talk to each other with internet handles?

I admit that I have turned head to Mab just as much as Amber...but that is also primarily due to my brother's wife being named Amber as well. So they go by my nickname to save confusion.

Would YOU want them knowing your real name?

I mean if you want to remain anonymous just leave out your last name.

My wife calls me "stinky" as a pet name. And to me, she's "bunny butt". I guess that's true love. :roll:

I don't know about you guys, but among furries, I'd prefer that I'd be called Stoneth. Don't call me Alberto unless you're a good friend or someone outside the fandom.

Had to interupt for an 'awww' moment...that's friggin adorable

...and now back to your regular programming schedual

Everybody uses their handles when meeting in person, but apparently that's not unique to furry. My brother met up with a bunch of World of Warcraft nerds, and they were still all using their internet names.

I use names according to context, so that people can't cross-reference my activities unless I really want them to. I use my real name in public, online it's Monkey King, and at cons or furry sites I use my furry handle.

But they have ostrich burgers which I'm sure ticks off some furries or maybe featheries to no end.

Ahaha, I'd love to set up a grill at a furry con selling "fox burgers". Since most people have never had Ostrich, they'd never know the difference.

"Oh yeah, genuine fox meat. By the time the dogs are done chasing and tearing up the foxes, the meat is pretty tender. Just grind it up and voila."

Anyways, there's a meat shop in my area that sells all kinds of bizarre meat...crocodille, rabbit, ostrich...I guess that's what I get for living out in hicksville, where, if it moves, we'll eat it.

It's not just in the US, here in the UK there's a restaurant near where I live that supposedly sells Kangeroo, crocodile and shark...but I've never had the stromach to taste thgem

Not because I'm against eating the animals...the food is just shite

Actually, fun part is you likely already ate shark. If you ever had scallops that didn't feel 'gritty' it may have been shark meat, since it's slightly less expensive. Real scallops are nearly impossible to de-sand, so you can feel a few particles while you eat them.

I'm not a fan of shellfish...

We get that here in the big city, too, both in select meat shops and in restaurants. I think it's just globalization - more product choices for everyone...

I recently had crocodile at an Australian restaurant that also has kangaroo and shark on the menu - plus "normal" things like beef and chicken. Can't say the croc was very interesting - the meat didn't taste of much in itself, it was the seasoning and sauce that provided the taste - which was undeniably good.

I never hoad Ostrich, but I would assume it may have actually been emu or those other similar birds... forget their name. I tried alligator at Penn's Landing Jumboliah once, it was... different.

I may have remembered that part of the urban legend wrong, sorry. I assume there is a way to tell the difference though. And yes, sometimes it is sharkmeat. I've had gritty scallops once, on a cruise. It's not annoying at all, just adds a bit to a shellfish with an otherwise too-soft texture.

Really? I've never seen weird meats anywhere else.
I'd really like to try Kangaroo someday. Just to say I have.
