What inspired you to choose a green macro kangaroo as a fursona?

I started in the fandom nearly a decade and change ago as a regular boring ol' kangaroo and poked around for a good couple of years trying to find my thing. When I had the opportunity to start fresh, I went with a permanently giant kangaroo. The green followed a few weeks later on a whim to make him more interesting.

Voila!

Thanks! That's cool to know!

You're huge, green and love inflation correct? Anyway a green wolf could take a lesson? :3

Well, I'm huge, green, and love to inflate inflatables. I'm not inflatable myself...though  captainfurry turned the tables on me a while ago. But I got better!

But yeah, if you're somehow able to be blown up, watch out. I tend to eventually cause a big cloud of fur go *bang*.

*grins and wags* I'm your wolf should you choose that!

But yeah, if you're somehow able to be blown up, watch out. I tend to eventually cause a big cloud of fur go *bang*.

My question is: is it a bad sign that I'm not into inflation, and yet that sentence still made me feel all tingly for a few seconds?

Making foxies tingle is what green 'roos do best!

Is the tingling what happens immediately before the aforementioned bang?

Not the aformentioned bang, but definitely a type of bang. If you catch my drift.

What made you choose, a green Kangaroo?
Heh. That rhymed. =3

Damn, someone beat me too it.

How did you find the "Furry Fandom?" =3

Years upon years ago when you actually, literally had to stitch together pages of message board posts to download artwork (remember those days?), I stumbled upon a "theme" of kangaroo characters and tracked down some usenet groups and really basic webpages. When I stumbled upon  cougr's and  wolfkidd's macro art, I was hooked.  rogue's stories were next on my discovery.

And I can proudly say all three of those folks are now really good friends of mine. Funny how it all works.

It sure does! =3

Okay, so we know that there was an accident with you and macroceli in the teleportation machine...but I can't help but wonder where you guys found one big enough to hold either of you =O
Or where you found one, period D:

Macroceli's the trekkie. I was just along for the ride.

Ah =O

How did you become friends with a giant city Rex, end up splicing some DNA with him, and what is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to a giant green roo?

I have creative ways of trying to get to know folks in the fandom that I admire. Macroceli got a gift from Santa Roo the first year he poked his head onto FA, and we've been friends ever since.

Ooo, where does Santa Roo live and how do I contact him for Christmas?

West Coast or East Coast?

West Coast is where I live, but East Coast is home.

so you theoretically have two large feet firmly planted on both coasts.

What a view Iowa has, huh?

An eternally full moon

Just don't fall, you'd probably clear out most of the plains states.

furry or anthro ?

Any weird terminology for the fandom or art is awkward, but I tend to use "furry" more.

For fun eh?

where does the furry you throw in avatar lands? Probably not on the ground if you grab it so fast

Exactly. Mid-air tailgrabbing for the win.

Are there any lady 'roos in your life?

If only! I guess I guess I just come with too much baggage. I'm a pretty happy bachelor, but that doesn't stop me from flirting with the cute ones!

Baggage? You?! Really? Nah. You are a flirt though, I'll give you that!~ At least you're happy, that's all that matters.

Tail Dangling how an what got you in to it if I may ask big green roo.

I got tired of people trying to have conversations with me down at my feet. It's hard to hear you guys down there. I suppose I could just scoop you guys up into my hand, but plucking you up by the tail seems more natural to me!

Besides, I've gotten really good at snagging people when they're not looking cuz their tail's in their blind spot.

If you could have one last thing to eat before you died, what would it be?

The antidote?

Sorry, old age.

what is the best thing about being a furry in your opinion?

The creativity. It's an entirely fantasy-based fandom so it's amazing to see where individuals take their fixations. Plus, the friends -- while many furries are a weird, antisocial lot, there are a lot of diamonds in the rough, and I'm proud to know the many people I've managed to befriend over the past decade.

i think we have a common thought there my green friend

Agreed! :D

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?!

I need to know, my life depends on it!

Is he as big as me? Because I can chuck plenty.

Nah, just a standard woodchuck, not as big as either of us, normal average every day woodchuck. :P

What would you like to see me draw aside from marsupials of the grand and green variety? Not that I don't like those—I'm just beating you to the cliche answer. ;3

It's a fair question! I like sizeable situations, and believe it or not I think there should be more of the "shrinking" variety than the "growth" variety of the macro community!

Do you have an AIM or MSN you feel comfortable telling in public? You seem like a cool guy to chat with.

I do use AIM, but I only give it out to choice people because of various reasons. They include:

1) Getting inundated by random people who have nothing to say except "Hi" and "Sup," and expect me to carry the entire conversation.

2) Getting inundated by random people who don't do anything but "HI DO YOU RP CAN YOU PLZ EAT ME?"

3) Getting inundated by random people who think I care that they're eating a cheese sandwich RIGHT NOW, and that it is very tasty.

So if I don't give you my IM name don't be offended. I'm honestly not that interesting to talk to because I don't like talking about myself. If you have my IM account it's because I trust you and like you and think you'd be interesting to talk to.

3) Getting inundated by random people who think I care that they're eating a cheese sandwich RIGHT NOW, and that it is very tasty.

But... but... you use TWITTER!

You must get thousands of those kinds of messages a day!

Using and reading are two different things.

Damn! And I was totally gonna do #2 there :P

What does a giant 'roo like yourself like to have for dinner/lunch/breakfast? And why?

Anything I want. I've developed a taste for little red dragons (hi,  flamedrake!), but I'm a very adventurous eater, it's dumb to be picky when you're as tall as me.

Ha, yeah I guess so. ;3

*scowl* hi

Who would win in a race around the world: You or Teaselbone?

Me. He'd be too winded from all those cigarettes, and he'd be distracted every time he ran past an internet cafe with WOW running.

Well that explains a lot.

I'm sure many furs have gifted you with things over the years. Which gift did you cherish the most, and why?

That's an easy answer, but not an answer easy to say publicly. I'll abstain.

Can I ask another question then?

Do it.

Well shit, I can't think of anything at the moment besides my usual smartassery. Let me get back to you on that.

That was one.

Hehe you picked up on that did you?

Is it painful to continually explode in a burst of light like that?

No, but this alligator that keeps attacking me can be quite annoying.

Who is your favorite famous kangaroo outside the furdom? (examples: Hopparoo, Kanga, Roo, Mr. Thickley, etc)

Recently, it's Kangaroo from Horton Hears a Who movie.

Even though it was a terrible movie, I like Jackie Legs from Kangaroo Jack.

Ah - at least somebody else likes Sour Kangaroo

Are you perhaps the love child of Godzilla and a kangaroo? Or was there some DNA switch-a-roo between Godzilla and you? (rhyming FTW)

I'm not clever enough to have a backstory. I'm just a giant green kangaroo that exists in the fandom. That's it.

Do you consider yourself to act evil? Or do you go out of your way sometimes to avoid the property damage that is generally associated with Macrokind? Or any of the other shades of grey :p

I'm not evil. I'm just a troublemaker. Big difference.

In an average day, how many tails do you dangle?

Remember, it's not the tails I'm dangling. It's the people that I'm dangling BY their tails.

And I'd say a baker's dozen at least.

How tall are you IRL?

6 foot 2 inches.

.... tall D: ... <3

How tall would your little soldier be standing at attention?

It could be used for Boot Camp exercise!

Can you give me a question? XP;

I sure can. What would be the first thing you'd do if you saw me in your front yard?

I got some different solutions.
1. I would just look up at you like everyone else.

2. I would get a cane, act old and say "Those damn kids D<"

3. I would of run so you won't dangle me, I like my tail very much Dl

What do you enjoy doing most in life?

Spoiling friends.

Why exactly is tyrannaroo so much taller then you and macroceli? is its your heights added or mulitplyed lol

Whatever made a roo giant, and whatever made a t-rex giant got mixed together. Double stuff!

now im just thinking bout oreos

Weirdest thing you every consumed?

ever*

Balut.

Eugh! When you said you'd try anything once I didn't think you actually meant it.

How adorable. Or maybe pathetic.

Whatever. I'm not going to ask you the obvious questions. To easy. I'll find it out on my own. Just you wait.

Meanwhile, I ask you this: What do you think have you ever contributed to this community of ours?

Good question. I don't believe I'm much of a contributor. I'm just a part of community, riding the wave...I don't think I've contributed anything but a character that people seem to enjoy interacting with or drawing. That's it. Whether that's something to take pride in, I dunno...I just like being here.

Every bachelor has that one dish they're REALLY good at cooking, even if they never set foot in a kitchen otherwise. What's yours? (Bonus points for including the recipe)

I'm a barbequer first, a cook second. I tend to play it safe in the kitchen and stay away from recipes. But I do cook.

People seem to dig my sirloin tips.

who werew the first ppl u met here ands helped u out buddy bud?

People come and go, but probably the first person that's stuck with me to the end is  jakebe.

cool i guess

When will I see you next DAMMIT

A whiiiiiiiile, unfortunately.

MFF?

Yup!

Okay, I got a question. I may be mistaken on both these points, but didn't you appear in the comic Carpe Diem? Considering that the characters that appear there are cameos done by artists who volunteer to draw the comic, I found that odd because I thought you weren't an artist. Or are you?

So how did you end up in Carpe Diem?

Graveyard Greg asked me if he could use me in Carpe Diem in some fashion. I said sure...and the rest of the story is out there on the intarwebs!

what are my best and worst traits?

Best: your attention to detail and strive for perfection. And your taste in friends isn't bad either.
Worst: You're quiet. :)

If that's the best worst thing I can come up with, you're doing pretty good!

Im quite because Im shy. Give me time *smiles*

What're some of the places you haven't gone, but would love to visit some day? =3

I wanna go to England some day. I also want to road trip the southern part of the US -- I've already crosscountried the upper part.

^^

Heya big fellow!

MASSIVELY big roo fan here. So it seemed only fitting that I keep watch on a massively big roo.

One of many questions I have always wanted to ask:

What sort of things do you keep inside such an immense pouche?

I'm a boy roo who doesn't have a pouch.

Doh!

Okay, have you ever thought about Kangaroo boxing Godzilla?

I would only come up to Godzilla's waist. I'm only a hundred feet tall to his 200.

AWEEE. For some reason I would love a big roo-zilla!

What do you think your best qualities are and your worst flaws are?

This sounds like a job interview question! "My biggest flaw is that I care TOO MUCH!"

Honestly I don't really have anything in mind for best qualities, I'll leave that for friends to determine. But biggest flaw? Yeesh. I'm lazy. Very lazy. Oh so lazy. So lazy that I'm not going to come up with another flaw.

Does it bother you when cartoons depict male kangaroos with pouches, or do you just shrug your shoulders and write it off as artistic license?

I shrug that off. But I do find it annoying how hard it is to find roo merchandise that doesn't have a pouch AND a little roo in the pouch. It's a rarity to find a male-type roo "thing," the people who make them must think that it's hard to know it's a roo unless there's a head popping out of its belly.

If you could meet anyone that you wanted live or deceased, Who would it be?

and since I never saw it yet..How easy are dragons to tail dangle? Do most put up a fight?

Jim Henson.

Depends on the size of a dragon. I tried hefting up a dragon twice as big as me by his tail, didn't work out so well.

Ohh good choice...andddd *giggles* that is kinda funny to picture

Jim Henson.

Will I gets hugz at EF? D:

I will insist on it!

Bring it on, you aint so big...... oh wait.... *does tactic flee!*

Do you always walk around in public in a fursuit?

I only wear fursuit to sanctioned events or when I need to take photos for a specific reason.

Where would I have to go if I wanted to meet the infamous Duncan in person?

And consequently, which cons do you frequent?

That's exactly where you'd have to go to meet me. I'll be at Eurofurence in Germany next month, Midwest Furfest in Chicago this November, and Further Confusion in San Jose, CA in January 2010.

What do you do for a living?

I hang out and cause trouble for the little folk. Taildangles are a part of the torment.

It seems that everyone who arrives in the fandom with a macro kink takes advantage of the fact that they can do anything because it's all fantasy, so if they need or want to become bigger they just do it. I actually like the idea that there are characters that can't and don't have any sort of say in the matter. They're one size and that's that....no abilities to make themselves bigger or smaller. It's the restrictions that I think help the creative side of the fun. I'm a hundred feet tall, always have been and always will be...so there'd be specific reactions if that suddenly changed, different than the reactions of someone that has the ability to change their size on the fly.

As for being shown at different scales in pictures, you're right, I'm not picky because height is a prop to show that Duncan isn't a usual-sized kangaroo. It's a creative license that displays his immense size, and if an artist needs to scale things up to show that in Duncan than I'm happy to loom bigger for the benefit of a picture.

I do well!

What would you consider the biggest (no pun intended) disadvantage to being 100 feet high?

Rain.

Well, since I can't think of anything more interesting to ask...

How many cons have you attended?

Different cons? Further Confusion, Midwest Furfest, Anthrocon and Eurofurence.

I've been to about 8 FCs, 3 MFFs, 5 ACs, and 1 EFs. I think. I don't meticulously track each one.

I meant the total.

17? Damn!

Got another question...if there was one anthro-character you could meet and spend the day with. who would it be and why that one?

Wow, toughie. Only one? And most of my favorite characters I've already met and are really good friends with, so it's even harder.

I'm going to go with someone that I haven't met RL to bias my decision:  doggydog. He's cute and awesome.

Is there anyone special in your life?

Lots of special people, but no, I don't have anyone to call my own.

Yeah...that would suck :P

would you mind if i, in the future mind you, got in contact with you and wrote you into a comic i am making along with other multicolored roos?

Nope, I wouldn't mind at all.

What is the most embarrassing think you have ever done that you would be willing to tell us?

Unintentionally making a severe mess out of a hotel room probably tops the list.

No way. as bad as that is, there has got to be more than that.

What is the oddest or most unusual gift you got relating to your character?

 spunky sent me a knitsock green roo for my birthday last year, it was oddly awesome!

Now that's pretty damn cool. Any pics of sockroo?

 spunky has some. Poke her!

I don't know if anyone else askd this but "How did you get hooked onto Inflation?"

It's all  ozkangaroo's fault, being all perfectly inflatable and stuff.

Lol also how do you make the name and the icon of people appear when your talking to them... i wanna know :3

Just type iconozkangaroo and then put a : on either side of it.

So...

: iconozkangaroo :

turns into

 ozkangaroo

Oh it's the same as the system on Deviantart... X3

What is your average hopping distance?

hmmmmm...... What is the meaning of life?

I don't believe there IS a meaning. It just is.

I didnt think there really is one either, I was just curious what you would say! And judging from your answer im guessing your not religious?

Do you have a favorite animated kangaroo ?

I answered this one for Aldi, but here it is again:

Recently, it's Kangaroo from Horton Hears a Who movie.

Even though it was a terrible movie, I like Jackie Legs from Kangaroo Jack.

I meant by a traditional hand-drawn animated kangaroo, not a CGI one.

Well, there was a cool kangaroo locked up in the poacher's shed in Rescuers Down Under.

Oh yeah, I remember him with the other Australian animals in there. *Spoiler Alert* Bothers me that we never saw Cody with Bernard, Miss Bianca and Jake rescuing them at the movie's end.
