Klingons to Take on Furries in Bowling Match
An anonymous reader writes "Yes, you read the title right. BoingBoing reports that Atlanta will be hosting an epic bowling match pitting Furries versus Klingons. Who will dominate the pins, the brute or the cute? 'It's like Quadrophenia with furrs and trekkers instead of mods and rockers.'"
Whisky Tango Foxtrot?
A battle between sexual deviants and nerds. Sounds absolutely fascinating.
Furries are NOT cute! They are more frightening and disturbing than a Klingon ever could be!!!
Dear diary: Today I stuffed some dolls full of dead rats I put in the blender.
Whisky Tango Foxtrot seconded.
tribbles?
I was gonna say "Whoever wins, we lose", but then I realized that "Alien vs. Predator" was accurate enough.
From TFA:
"The OP of the ad made this up. The challenge was never accepted because it was never offered.
While this event WILL PROBABLY happen in the future, it will not happen this Saturday. [None of the Klingons in our group] are available on such short notice, and many of our best bowlers are off-world (cough) doing, um, Klingon stuff.
I admit I'm surprised how this is turning out to be so popular. Perhaps we can use this to benefit a sponsored charity."
I don't get it. Who exactly do the "Furries" represent? I am familiar with the Klingons, but if the Furries represent some group in particular, I have no clue who that would be...

Have you ever tried to get a Klingon off a Furry? Need lots of soap and hot water... specially if its been there a while.

you saw the topic - line them up, and shoot them all.
please.
we don't need them poisoning the gene pool further.
How do the furries get their fingers into the bowling ball holes?
This is the NFL, which stands for "Not For Long" if you keep making those bulls*** calls.
Those petaQ won't stand a chance!

"Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
Could we also setup spay or neuter stations so that we can lower the odds of these genes making it back into the pool? The usual "geek virgin" jokes don't apply because these people do breed with each other.
Ever play a game of url russian roulette? You type in urls that sound too horrible to be true and see if they're registered. If registered, take one drink. If a real site, chug the beer. gayfursuitsex.com ended that game, it's a real pay pr0n site! No idea if it's still a valid url and I sure as fuck am not going to check and see.

I just don't get the dress-up thing. I went to Dragon*Con this year (my first time ever at a 'Con), and I must say I was actively frightened by some of those folks. Furries, Klingons, half-nekkid 250 lb. goth chicks in air-tight corsets, and anime cosplay... wierdness. Now, apparently, there are pirate-furry-goth-girls, too. I'll never go again. Except if Black Cat is there again in costume (holy crap!!!).
Yiff in hell furfags
Yiff in hell!
Kill it with fire!
I just want to see the bowling league's list of team names.
Whew... Imagine the havoc if it was a match between Pirates vs. Ninjas.
Well, if the furries actually did manage to win, then the klingons would have no choice to "Kill them where they stand". Otherwise they wouldn't be a true klingon warrior.
Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
Send in the Glommer!
Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner entwine / The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine?
*sigh*
Mod me down now.
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
Furries are fans of anthropomorphic animal characters, basically, Disney's Robin Hood, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Lion King,etc.(although they tend towards mammals)
Furries have a reputation for being easily trolled. In fact, you can troll them, sign up with a new name and copy the last troll and they're respond to it all over again. The most common ones include, "do you have sex with animals?" and "Are furries gross?"
Like every other genre, there are those that take it way too far. Furries have two non-exclusive groups that do take it way too far.
Fur suiters. Just like trekies dressing up like Klingon, Fursuiters dress up in whole costumes. Clicky. Unlike Klingons, who spend at most $2,000 to $3,000 for their costumes, a Fur Suiter can spend upwards of $15,000.
Sexual furries. These furries have no problem telling you their private sexual practices. How they don't feel complete unless they pretend to be dogs, rats or racoons while making love.
Furries as a fandom are more accepting of both group than trekers. Personally, it gives furries a bad name to associate themselves with people who wear fox costumes with genital holes for sex, but to each his own, I guess.
"Klingons to Take on Caitians in Bowling Match"?
How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
Read into the messages and you'll realize that it was the STAR TREK Fan Club, Atlanta Chapter, that made the challenge, not the Klingon FC. My impression is that the Klingons are going to go forward with this due to the fact that they don't apologize or back down without honor, they just shoot... And shoot some more.
Now the Furries, (in which I am one and quite proud of) i've yet to see any kind of response from the group that frequents the alley that this challenge is to take place in. The odds of them accepting is quite high.
BUT!
Here's the fun part.. You don't know if that's an amateur in a suit, or a Pro that bowls 300 games like clockwork.
I might just fly into ATL just to watch this go down.
First rule of holes; When in one, stop digging.
It is a good day to bowl!
If you were any other fox, I'd kill you where you stand!

Klingons vs. Furries. They have a bigger wiki than ours, but we're working on it.
The gogles, they do nothing!
-- Sig under construction...
If the Tribbles were any indication, the Klingon's are so hosed! :-P

Yiff in hell, furfag.
What about the Klingon Furries? Who do they get to play?
Cosplay LARPers?
RenFaire Gamers?
Bandie Comicbook nerds?
Slashdotters?
Maybe there should be a tournament.
*shrug* I've known about this match for a while. I even recognize some of the suiters in the publicity photo from friends I have in Atlanta. As usual, /. picks up with good (and not so good-natured) flames. Amazing how a set that jokingly admits to using the Internet for porn gets all squeamish just because the porn in question is not necessarily heterosexual.
For the record, it's a bowling match in a public place. It would make a great charity fund-raiser. It will probably be a lot of fun for everyone in attendance. This is a positive thing and to crack jokes about Furries being perverts does nothing more than show a narrow mind and a fear of being different that a grown adult should grow out of.
Oddly enough, I know a couple of those...
Klingon Bowler 1: It's just a little bunny.
Klingon Bowler 2: Right! Silly little bleeder. One rabbit stew comin' right up!
Klingons will win, only because at the last minute, the Kilrathi got replaced with the... um, things from the movie adaptation (ifyoumaycallitthat). That will leave them no chance at all.
Though, in all honesty, last year's KvF event the furries had issues seeing and holding onto the ball due to their fursuit pas. This year they're getting spcial gloves - that may even the odds a bit.
Still, $10 on the Klingons.
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.
Ahhh... that's all the fodder of the best drinking game in the world... "Ughhh!"
The rules are simple. If you see something that makes you go "Ughhh!" you need to drink. If you can describe something that makes someone at the table go "Ughhh!" without looking, they must chug. Sci-fi/Fantasy conventions are the best locations to play this game (if you hate your liver).
It is at least a self-limiting game... eventually you need to see something truly horrible to go "Ughhh!"...
I'm going to repress those memories now...
