I’ve never understood the Carly Simon song “You Belong To Me” but her voice is so wonderful I don’t need it to make sense.
That is quite the “pencil neck”.
I think an Elmo NOT dating a furry would be weirder…
True, true.
Hey Rex, while we’re on the subject, would a guy or gal (or both if they’re really kinky) in a fish costume technically be a “furry”, or is that it’s own category of weird?
While I’m not an expert on the furry community, it seems to me that strict logic* would tell us that a fish costume would not fit into the furry culture.
I never really thought about it before, but now that you’ve brought it up**, it wouldn’t surprise me if there was a group that likes dressing up like fish and then doing the nasty. And of course, there would be subgroups, like the fresh water and the salt water enthusiasts wanting NOTHING to do with each other.
*logic: the best way of going wrong with confidence
**Yeah, thanks for that…
LMAO!!
This has to be one of the strangest (and best) conversations ever on this site. And that’s saying something!
I blame everyone except myself!
LOL! I blame you too, Rex! You gave me a great laugh, though.
**Rex, you are welcome!!
My next question is “Do people wearing fish costumes ever worry about others throwing french fries at them”?
I don’t know. But if I was one of ’em I’d stay home or not wear a fish costume on Fridays. (I know Catholics don’t have to eat fish on Friday’s anymore. Still, I’d be careful…)
Or they stay home because the she-fish says: “You’re going to eat me like the Pope commands!”
(Yeah, kind of stole that from the Little Red Riding Hood joke)
