So Tycho, how are you going to address that student when you next see her? :P We had class just today - I smiled, shook my head and said "So, what's up with twitter, anyway?" and she just shook her head in exasperation... No problems on this end - she just can't believe it took off like i...

tychoaussie

Ack!!!

It's everywhere!

My email box is jammed - they are coming in at a rate of 30 / hour - and now I'm even getting emails in french!

tychoaussie

Err,
This might not be the best time to admit that I ate my breakfast cereal out of a dog bowl this morning. But to be fair, I did still use a spoon!@

In retrospect, (in case anyone here is going through it right now) I think if I had to live my 7th through 12th grade life over again, I would have understood that the intolerant jerks were just being kids, and let them shoot off their mouth, followed with me ignoring them and concentrating on the r...

Wouldn't the answer to that all depend on who is in the fight scene, whether or not it's hand-to-hand or firearms, and whether or not the music is action-adventure, martial arts, or spooky?

I personally think there's a correlation between having a tough childhood where imagination and escapism are used as a coping mechanism to deal with bouts of sadness. Some kids deal with it by developing multiple personalities, some deal with it by imagining that they can fly or gallop away. My firs...

Did I mention that my oldest son has Aspergers syndrome? He's a senior in high school, plays an excellent trombone in marching band, and is shaping up to have a fine work ethic and attention to detail.... when I can convince him that the job is worth doing, that is! Aspies always got to know "w...

...and now, for the Halloween season....

Dressing your dog up in costumes!

It's the upcoming Williamston Dog trick or treat, on the 19th of October.

See you there!

tychoaussie

Shadow, I'm wearing ears, eyes,nose,tail,fur,paws,and fuzzy feet for Halloween, and will likely wear them to my church trunk or treat event, plus wear em all day at the university during oct 31st. I have a class to teach that day and my class has already been warned! ;) Sometimes furry is purely for...

Dang it you noticed.. there is one thing I shopped.. a sock. There was a random sock beside the blue recliner at the right, so I had to erase that off

Everything is an engineering compromise, from bulk to cost to efficiency to cooling time. The most effective method is probably to grow a really long tongue, drool and pant ;p

tychoaussie

Yes, I use a cooling vest.

Works the treat, I can go 2 1/2 hours in high 80's temperatures so long as I keep drinking electrolytes every ten minutes or so.

No insight like you all,
...but I LOVED this strip! I'm doing pushups this morning just so I can share in the upcoming pain; It'll add to the dimensionality of the strip

Hilaroo, most of that picture is about right, certainly the heat part. We underestimate our body's need to shed excess heat; I shed a lot of water - and try to avoid hugs towards the end of an event. My jaw is a cantilever design and I have a kevlar plate in there that bumps against my own chin. Whe...

The only stigma I have is that the furry fandom Is often seen in the public eye as something perverse and reprehensible. I say I'm furry or that I like furry related things and suddenly I'm "that" guy. Kudos to those of y'all who are brave enough, but I just hate that a lot people cast ou...

You don't need a fursona to be part of the fandom, you don't need a fursona to be a furry, and you don't need to be part of the fandom to be a furry... But that begs the question, can you be labeled a furry? For instance, lets say you don't have internet access and you live out in the country with ...

A furry Web comic is one which seeks to appeal primarily to members of the furry fandom. Housepets! , while featuring anthropomorphic animals, is targeted at the broadest possible audience. That sums up my opinion quite nicely as well. HP! is something I can share with my family and friends, no mat...

At the extreme risk of becoming a post-whore, I offer you this lil' bit:

I uploaded it to Deviantart so hopefully it'll work now.

p.s. I wonder if Rick Griffin has seen this thread lately? It seems to have taken on a life of its own

tychoaussie

I used to say I wasnt a furry but then I found myself entered in a dog show as an official entry

tychoaussie

All these vegemite haters - you are all not liking the stuff 'cause your friends all told you that you wouldn't like the stuff, just because they don' like the stuff. It's all psychological. Go into it without preconceptions and yeah - spread it thin on a buttered piece of toast, and you'll find it'...

tychoaussie

Mine's Tycho Aussie, the name of my fursuit character. Tycho is the 16th century Danish astronomer with the gold nose - inquisitive and flambouyant. I figured that Tycho Brahe needed a better namesake than he currently has - though he's cool enough to have a crater on the moon named after him! Aussi...

Today I'm putting the top down on our 2014 convertible Mustang rental-car, and since we're in Albuquerque, NM on business, we're heading off to the USAF base, visiting a few research partners, then heading in to USGS laboratories for the core of our project. We'll be up late, punching in signals int...

On a different subject (probably worthy of a separate thread) - I met my first girlfriend online in 1984, on a message board hosted on a DEC PDP-11. - I once arranged a date with a girl in Canberra, Australia who was in the Royal Australian Navy and ran communications as a telex operator. We met thr...

I'm a singer with a range that is below Geddy Lee, but I used to do a passable Steve Perry. I can still put out some halfway decent covers of most of Brad Delp's vocals from anything by Boston (except the really high stuff - can't do that anymore). If it's Steve Miller, I have that covered - and REO...

I can't be the only one that sang that... tell me I'm not alone! I wasn;t singing it out loud but the tune is now stuck in my head - and I looked to see if there were any unsecured footgear laying about. BTW, now he's got both the right AND the left - and they look a whole lot like Ugg Adirondack, ...

Cut the car in half to double your gas mileage.

Yeah, I can do that: I got a whole drawer full of them, including chunks of the Henbury meteorite from Central Australia.

However I just can't seem to learn to play this darned guitar. Can you?

TUAM has a name that can be taken many ways - from being zealous for a silly cause, or being zealous for silliness. Or being silly while being zealous. Sometimes I think it's all three?

tychoaussie

if a joke flies over your head, and everyone else laughs but you, is it the fault of the joke, the people surrounding you, cultural reference deficits, or simply you? Is it treatable?

I get you onto a gameshow where you win a new Ferarri, and then I call the IRS, your state sales tax office and your insurance agent.

If we did explain the pun to you, would it help?

Good going, Rick.

Ya - you deserve a spank for that one, mate.

heh,

There is probably no doubt that I'm first cousins with Rufus, though it's most likely not of my doing!

It was taken at 8 AM on a Sunday morning, at the MSU art museum. We got in two hours on campus at various locations, and then still had time to get changed and go to church. It was great, and we're going to do it again sometime, to try and refine the poses that didn't quite work out to our satisfact...
