Fur and Loathing in Las Vegas
15 years ago
I just watched "that one episode" of CSI. This shit's hilarious. I don't care how many furs hate that episode, but I can't help but find it the funniest thing ever. What makes it even better was my experience at the first fur con I ever went to.
It was Further Confusion 2005 (I think, mebbe 2006) and I wasn't staying at the Double Tree so I had to find parking. It was a Saturday, so I decided to park in the business lot across the street from the hotel. There was a cop parked on the side of the road across from the hotel, just leaning against his squad car and observing the fursuit parade which had jsut let out into the parking lot.
I wanted to make sure I wouldn't get a ticket for parking in the business lot so I went up to the cop and asked. Very distracted, he waved me off, saying it was fine. As I moved off to approach the hotel, he called me back wanting to know what was going on over at the hotel.
"What's going on over there? It looks kinda weird, and I saw this one episode of CSI..."
It was at that point I died laughing. Once I regained my composure (while wearing my tail, by the way) I explained that it was a fur con -- something like a sci-fi convention for people who liked Disney-style animals -- and told him the CSI episode was not accurate to reality. We chatted a little bit and it was entertaining all the way around. Funny shit.

^ This.
I wasn't offended by the episode at all. It was harmless in its intent. It's society's fault it made furries so frowned upon.
if we cant laugh at ourselves we shouldnt complain.
plus i love the gossip that Miss Kitty character including some of the actual lines spoken, is based on a Mouse from SL the classic quote is the "But I am all women" line.
