Dear crazy cat lady cyclist

[rapid cycler]

If you're the roadie I see almost every day speeding down Wilshire Blvd. through Beverly Hills, looking every bit the serious cyclist but for the furry cat ears affixed to the top of your helmet—and did I once see a tail protruding from your shorts, or did I just want to see a tail?—thank you for making me smile on my evening commute. I hope to return the favor someday!

[teigyr]

ohhhhh......a furry? And if you value your sanity, please don't websearch it :D

[rapid cycler]

Sad to say, I don't have to…

[teigyr]

:eek:

'nuff said

[rapid cycler]

Hey, Orbea sister, don't be starting no rumors about me now! :)

[teigyr]

:p

I found THE most perfect picture ever but I'm afraid it isn't suitable for this forum.

[Trekhawk]

Snort:D :D

Where's the "TE at Night" portal?

I have no sanity left. C'mon, PM me a link or two:D

[emily_in_nc]

Okay, I don't get it. Explain, please!? :confused:

[rapid cycler]

Well, my original post was completely innocent and sincere—:)—but then teigyr had to make the thread all icky…

[whateveronfire]

Ok, just to be clear. R.C. is my partner of 13 years. She IS NOT a furry.

:o

Neither am I.

She did tell me about the cycling lady with the ears. That is all.

[Trek420]

I suppose you could make the helmet ornament, these say they are wind tunnel tested to stay onto your lid up to 175 mph :p Available in pig, bunny, dog, cat and ....

Thanks to those who clued me in on what this was. People do the oddest things!

Mere cat ears do not a furry make. A furry would've been wearing their entire fursuit instead of just the ears. And wouldn't the strategic, erm, openings cause chafing? :eek:

I sewed some black cat ears onto my black winter hat. Partly because it just amuses me, and partly to migitate the "condom tip" visual effect that knit hats tend to develop.

Anyways, carry on.... :rolleyes:

[KnottedYet]

Boy, am I ever out of the loop. But I think I know what a "furry" might be. I think there was a CSI about it.

I'm so vanilla. (well, except for *some* things...;) )

[Kalidurga]

Yup, Knot, that CSI episode was pretty much unforgettable.

Synchronicity is a funny, funny thing. This is the second web forum conversation about Furries that I've seen in the last two days, and neither forum has anything to do with fetishes!

Unless, of course, our dedication to our bikes could be considered a fetish... :eek: :rolleyes:

[teigyr]

So be it. I was feeling all virtuous after the Floyd book signing but here you go :D

[mimitabby]

argh! that's gross!!

[DrBee]

OMG - I almost just spit my cereal all over the monitor. That's just nasty.

[teigyr]

Yes it is. I struggled with that one but DH said it wasn't all THAT bad. I think it is and perhaps I should be concerned with DH then.

I was tired, perhaps that explains my poor judgment :)

[mimitabby]

no, it's not too offensive to post, it's just, gross

[Duck on Wheels]

Then there's this knitting pattern for a kitty-ear cap. :p

[Trek420]

I was going to suggest an alternate costume one that puts aero bars on his head, SPD compatible pedals and a Brooks saddle .... but then thought "No, this is a family forum and that's objectifying men" :p :D

[DrBee]

no, it's not too offensive to post, it's just, gross

I agree. And we can appreciate gross and nasty, can't we?

good one Trek! Very nice!

[Starfish]

Never let it be said that I don't learn a great many things when I visit TE! :eek:

Something tells me the person who came up with the knitting pattern never intended to be associated with the likes of...that.

[KnottedYet]

Baby, I don't wanna know nuthin' about you objectifying men.

Nope.

Just leave me ingnorant.

[Starfish]

Aside to Knot: I just noticed your newest sig line...great!

I stole it from the website for New Belgium Brewing Company's "Tour de Fat" (Fat Tire Ale).

Seattle! Saturday! August 11!!! http://www.newbelgium.com/vibe_tourdefat_seattle_07.php

[teigyr]

honestly, I don't know why my mind works the way it does...and the cat hat scared me!

[rapid cycler]

I dunno, teigyr, it seems like you have these photos awfully…handy. Perhaps they were hanging around your desktop before this thread even got started?

You'd be amazed what I have lurking about :rolleyes:

[alpinerabbit]

I'm pretty tolerant of "special interests", as long as it is consentual so I couldn't care less about the horses, tigers etc but I am absolutely awestruck.

I've never heard of the "furry" thing... This is HILARIOUS.

particularly the little "hobby horse" get-up from teigyr's post. complete with stirrups.... http://www.websophist.com/Laughing_RoflSmileyLJ.gif

[Mr. Bloom]

Well, after 44 years, I thought I was "in touch" and "informed".

WOW! I just about learned something I previously was unaware of.

In the "Wizard of Oz", is this really what Dorothy was referring to when she said: "LIONS and TIGERS and BEARS, OH MY!"

[KnottedYet]

No, cuz Bears are large macho hairy manly-men gay guys.

[solobiker]

Gosh, this proves just how niave I continue to be. I thought I was geting better about all that. Who knew?? The people at work pick on me all the time for my "lack of knowledge" :)

[Trek420]

No, but I think this was what she meant when she said "Toto, I think we're not in Kansas anymore" :p :D ;) :rolleyes:
