Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[Erisianmonkey]

The tails are an affectation donned by many in what is called the "Furry" scene. I refuse to go into it on a family friendly board, you can google it for yourself.

There was a CSI episode about Puffies and Furries. The daughter of a friend of mine played a corpse.




We now return you to "Kilt Dos and Don'ts." Please excuse the hijack.

Oh, please. Like any other fringe group, including kilt wearers, there is an entire range of people who label themselves "furry." It's just that the more extream ones are presented in the media, while the more main-stream ones are ignored. It's more fun to point at the extreamists and say, "Oooh, what a bunch of wierdos!"

I must be out of the loop, because i have no clue what "Furry" is supposed to mean. I had a hard enough time a few years ago when I heard someone ask some kid if he was an Emo. To which I responed "Does he look like a flightless bird from Australia". and they said "No it's a new type of grundge scene, kind of like Gothic, or Punk."

So does "Furry" have some hidden meaning that I'm not aware of?

To quote Wikipedia's article on the subject, "Furry fandom is a subculture distinguished by its enjoyment of anthropomorphic animal characters. Examples of anthropomorphism in the furry fandom include the attribution of human intelligence and facial expressions, speech, bipedalism, and the wearing of clothes. Members of this subculture are sometimes known as furry fans, furries, or simply furs."

Some furries enjoy thinking of themselves as part-animal, thus the wearing of tails, horns, and / or ears.

ROFLMAO! That's hilarious. Thank you MacDougall!

Panache clears throat ....

Ahem...

Let's keep things related to kilts and let different horses run on different courses.

Thank you gentlemen

WOOHOO!!! I finally finished this thread and it only took me a week

Some of the pics (and comments) were just too funny. I was reading some at work and my coworkers would look at me funny when I would bust out loud laughing. But seriously, there are several good examples of what to and what not to do in this thread. For example, I have learned that the kilt pin doesn't actually hold the bottom flaps together but is merely an ornamentation and may damage the kilt if done improperly. I think the best thing about it is seing the various combinations of clothing and kilts so you can get an idea of what certain combinations may look like before you subject the poor, unwitting public to your choices. The tartan coat is a perfect example for me. I may have considered getting one but after seeing what the whole ensemble looks like I'm afraid I'll have to be a Conscientious Objector.
