So, a couple things about me:

1) I'm not a typical furry, in that I don't obsess over normal furry things like role-playing or Therians or MLPs or the like. But I'm not normal either. I do have my particular furry proclivities. My biggest one is I'm obsessed with seeing skunks in the media. Any skunk, in any media. I don't know why, but I just love it. It's life-affirming, bringing peace and order to my world, and sometimes almost feels like a religious experience. That is not to say I bow down and worship the 'Lets Read!' poster at my local library or anything, but it does mean I feel slightly transcendent during these moments. I'd get the same feeling when I walked into the Sanctuary at church when I used to go. Just a feeling of heavy, enveloping tranquility. I could ramble for a great deal of time about all the implications of that comparison, but all you need to know is that's a thing I do. I keep track of all the new cartoon shows, in order to determine which ones are most likely to have skunk characters or even one-off skunk jokes. I've watched far too many bad camping films because skunks are often used as gags in those. I even own Stewart Little 3 on DVD. Another thing I do is keep track of new toy launches, and that leads me to...

2) I love Legos. Yeah, nothing special there. But they were a huge part of my childhood. I would spend all day in my room, which was at least 55% Lego by the time I entered High School, playing out epic tales that would last for days or weeks on end and feature a cast of hundreds of unique Lego characters. These things weren't particularly furry (this was before that part of me awakened) but that aspect was there. I recall using the Gungan figurines far more often than I should, and when I finally got a werewolf figurine head it quickly became a main character. I still don't play with these things (they're currently in storage) but that doesn't mean I still don't feel their ever-growing call pulling me back even now... So when Lego announced their new 'Legends of Chima' line a year ago I got a little excited. These were furry Lego figurines! And even though I didn't buy any, that still made little Stank very happy to see. And it also meant... there was a faint chance, but still... that perhaps my two peculiar interests may yet finally meet...

I mean surely there would never be a Lego Skunk Figurine. Surely. Even with Chima animals, a skunk species is impossible. Nobody would want that. It would look ridiculous. The tail would just be nonsense. The lions and wolves didn't even HAVE tails, so what good would a skunk figurine be without a tail? No, these were surely the dreams of a madman and I would go wanting the rest of my days...



Well then this happened: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/_.....70107_alt1.jpg

This has made me happy in the way that I can only imagine normal people feel after they make out with their sexy boss hard enough to earn a promotion.

I will never cease being fascinated by my own life.
