PRAISE HIS NOODLEY APPENDAGE!!!!
Working on the post. But this is the official update, late, yes, but still NOT AFTER MIDNIGHT HA HA HA YESSSSSSSSSS NO SKIPPED DAYS YET!!!!! WOOOOOOO
ADD: Wow, what a fuckin’ week. Illness, site goes kaput, fuck.
For the tech nerds: Our site was taking up a LOT of CPU time on the server due to too many processes. To the point that once the big hits started rolling in on the Tactical Rifles strip yesterday, our host straight up disabled our account. Mel, being a goddess, dove in and found that the Slimstat plugin for WordPress was really process-intensive, and killed it. That’s cool, I can always go to the Webalizer backend, unless someone knows a good LIGHT stats app. Pity. I really liked Slimstat. But if it kills the site when we get heavy traffic, to the curb it goes.
We’re at Furry Fiesta this weekend. Different kind of convention than we’re used to, but no complaints. Again, I kinda like Furries. No, I’m not secretly a furry, and I’m not going to say I’m a skunk or a bat or a echidna, but I don’t get why people have decided that on the internet playground, FURRIES ARE THE DEVIL. So they like to dress up as animals – so fuckin’ what? Every furry we’ve met at cons so far has been pleasant, polite, and fun to be around. We do anime conventions several times a year, and I see WAY worse than furries at those cons.
Same for bronies, really. So some adults like MLP – it’s not my bag, but fuck it, if they like it, they ain’t hurting anyone. Also, most of the brony chicks we’ve seen are, um. Pretty hot. Fun to look at, let’s say.
God. The site is back up. LOAD OF STRESS OFF MY MIND.
And the internwet has everything on it….
I missed my morning gun fix, and was worried. Glad to see it was straightened out.
One banana, two banana, three banana, four…
Glad you got the hosting problem mostly sorted out too. Was missing my fix. Just needed one, you know I’m good for it!
I have to say, that furry stuff, that’s not my bag, baby!
Ehn. Not mine, either, but I don’t look down on them for it. Way I see it, you gotta find your fun in life as you see fit. Ours is going out in the woods with a bunch of survivalist hippies and lighting shit on fire while sucking down inebriants. We’re attending this con as guests, and if the crowd is a bunch of folks who like to dress as animals, hey, they’ve found their fun. And from what we’ve seen so far, they’re having a hell of a lot of fun.
I couldn’t imagine shooting in a suit. the visibility is pretty poor in the ones I’ve loaned from friends.
Meh, I don’t care if somebody wants to wear a costume that prevents them from seeing the sights. My only issue with the vid is the mess everybody has left behind…leaving all the crap people shoot at will close more shooting areas then stupid laws. We’re our own worst enemies.
We shoot out at a friend’s ranch rather often, and we shoot a LOT of stuff that leaves a mess. We clean up the mess on our way out.
I thought they were shooting up a landfill site at first, but my issues with the vid are that the blue one is shooting left-handed from the right shoulder, which is kind of weird, and that they’re firing inaccurately at targets on a hillside covered in large rocks. I kind of prefer shooting at sand dunes, because sand dunes swallow bullets rather than doing this:

Linked those videos in my blog – you can’t be too careful with guns!
Reminds me on that old helmet the Lt showed us before our first turn on on the range. Had a decent dent in it and been used for decades to demonstrated why we had to wear our helmets while on the range.
Good to see you have keeled over from remoil poising, you son of a bitch
Yeah, a stats app that prevents your site from getting hits due to server overload seems kind of, I dunno, pointless.
Or ironic?
Glad you got it all sorted. Hope your sinus thing is clearing too.
Furries at the shooting range… Thank you so much for finding that!
How is that guy not getting fuzz stuck in his slide?
Glocks don’t jam, silly.
I wondered that too…
Sure, Glocks don’t jam, on their own that is… but when something that resembles one of Cookie Monster’s relatives gets their paws on one, fur getting stuck in the slide seems it would be a legitimate concern.
Sucks it was your own stuff but better than nasty little script kiddie. I hate those bastards. Real hackers from the days of old were cool they would tell people about their vulnerabilities and the methods to fix them. Now everyone is only interested in breaking stuff. It is really easy to break things much harder to build and create. The hackers of old sort of still exist they are called White Hat, because the good guys wear white hats. Harder and Harder to find White Hats that work for free.
So concludes my rant for the evening.
I just watched the video, now I want to see an IDPA furry match.
[insert hurtful comment about furries]
I feel lazy today.
The best I could come up with was “Fucking fuzzy faggots”.
Being a cunt is hard.
An acquaintance of mine likes “furvert”. I think he thinks that he’s clever. One of his two bits of biggotry he gets really upset being called on. Very bisexual/omnisexual, “a hole is a hole” type, until he finds you’re a furry or a child molester. The other bigotry being against libertarians and the “wrong” kind of statist. (he dislikes Fascists, because they are all racist and anti semitic. He himself is a Socialist, and a Nationalist, but not a National Socialist. He’s gets very sputteringly angry when I point that out).
Wow.
He sounds like a faggot, and not in a good way.
Homophobic slurs ain’t cool, yo.
To be fair, there is nothing wrong with hating child molesters.
Automatically equating furries with baby-rapers, on the other hand…
Except maybe the guy who went to Dragon*Con a couple years ago in a PedoBear outfit with a Penn State T-shirt.
Well, there is the wrong way and there is the awesomely wrong way.
I’ll help you: “Yiff in hell, furfags!”
(To which furries would reply: “Well, DUH!”)
Yeah, but at this point, that one is so cliche and overdone that your eyes just kind of glaze past it in that “Nothing new to see here folks” kind of way.
Yup.
And yet, many haters still seem to be incapable of inventing anything more creative. Which says something about the quality of them, no?
Now I want to see someone gatecrash a Phelps “protest” with an extra sign to hold up in front of theirs that changes “Thank God for dead soldiers” to “Thank God for sweet furries.”
2 Things:
1) Good to see the site back up.
2) Most of the Furries that I’ve met are… Weird people. Me, I’m eccentric, so I can’t throw stones, but they are weird. Not necessarily bad people, but odd. Kinda like transsexuals, I guess. Most of them are a little odd, too. I think it’s a side effect of the personal identity issues of not liking your own body. A very complex side effect.
Thank you Jay…I had gone my whole life until today without actually knowing what a Bronie was.
I actually had to google it….and while I agree some of the women are Hot in the pictures that popped up….the dudes…not so much.
What the heck did I just watch?
It was entertaining on a strange level… I did watch the whole thing after all. I also noticed that the guy… girl… IDK, used a MOPP shooting stance when shooting one of the rifles.
Considering that fursuits are roughly equivalent to running around in MOPP IV, as far as getting in the way, not surprising.
Having grownup watching Sid and Marty Krofft productions, there’s little in this world that can disturb me.
Should have had a guy in a bear suit in that video. Then we could see the right to arm bears in action.
Now that you mention it, the lack of a bear fursuit in that video is a god damned travesty.
I think most other nerds look down on furries because they don’t seem cynical enough to be nerds. Or something. I dunno.
And the reasons for buying you a beer or twenty if you ever happen past Sweden just…. keeps…. mounting!
I was wondering why i couldn’t get onto the site! I’m glad it’s back up again!
Just discovered the comic and spent a night catching up. Good stuff.
damn, looks like you need a hosting solution that doesn’t completely suck balls.
