The Furry Capital Of The World

Where would it be and why?

need to know basis only.

I can't compromise their cover.

I use the word all the time when I talk about caves...

We have enough firepower stockpiled away to launch a blitz against any small-to-medium sized nation on Earth.
Our spies are in every house of state and the highest echelons of every military.

Our order is ancient, with ties to the very origins of civilization. It has been subtly manipulating world events since the start of recorded history.

The revolution is shortly at paw.

sorry, after searching a bit for a wiki to explain, it's named "Acadia".

Acadia is part of Canada ; however, it seems my information on that field was incomplete. the region still has the same name, but the "abstract" relation is that of the French part that used to be there.

The story of Acadians is that of people who lost their country ; I wouldn't be able to tell it as is, I think it's better if you check that article for yourself on the subject : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadia

you could say that for lots dragons, including your black and white friend!

Good processors / computer components have the same effect on me >.+.

Hmm, I will have a read over it when I return to the UK - why do you suggest Acadia as a good furry venue?

[identity profile] lupestripe.livejournal.com 2009-07-20 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
Aww but I need to know because, erm, it will make me happy.

[identity profile] lupestripe.livejournal.com 2009-07-20 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm good point, have never heard of the Northern Ireland furs but I am sure they exist. Must do some research on the south-west, it's too far away for me to really check it out by visiting there.

I guess it is a cavey word, I used it when I study geology - guess its the only connotation that works with the word.

Is it a possum revolution or a furry revolution. It sounds scary.

Aww poor possum tail. Floofy tails are fantastic wags his pink tail at you :P

My black and white friend?

Hmm, don't get the same effect with computers really, am sure I am interested in other things though. Don't know if they are shiny though.

Furry revolution.

Relax, its only scary to the normals.

[identity profile] selth.livejournal.com 2009-07-20 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
^.+.^ I didn't exactly mean it as is... I wanted to say that, like the old Acadia that is long gone, our country may only exist in our hearts.

now, I may be a bit too sentimental about that and our land's just earth.

Missouri is just as Southern as Kentucky is.

[identity profile] bucktowntiger.livejournal.com 2009-07-21 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Atlanta has by my estimation about four hundred convention-going furries living in the metro area.

The furry capital of the world is San Jose, California. Not San Francisco, like so many have claimed.

And San Jose is not San Francisco. They are thirty-five miles apart, and San Jose is nearly twice the size of San Francisco. I would estimate that two hundred convention-going furries live in the San Jose city limits, with another three to four hundred convention-going furries living in the surrounding cities in Santa Clara County (Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, etc.)

Umm...

No. Sorry, I have to disagree with you.

Anything west of the Mississipi, north of Arkansas, and part of the Union in 1861 is decidedly not Southern.

You can nitpick about the Bootheel, but that's about it.

Missouri was a slave state that did not secede from the Union. Exactly like Kentucky. Nitpick that. Also, west is not north. F

And since you also failed to actually read my original post, nowhere in that comment did I say that Kentucky was Southern. I just said that Missouri is just as Southern as Kentucky is.

I will give you credit for one thing though: Missouri is definitely not part of the Deep South (generally defined as those seven states that seceded before Fort Sumter). Maybe [livejournal.com profile] lupestripe got Missouri confused with Mississippi. I don't know.

As I previously stated, as a Missourian I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you.

Missouri is considered by some sources to be borderline South, as is referenced in this graphic from wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_map-The_South_Modern_.png


However, as defined my the US Census Bureau, Missouri is a part of the Midwest.

I can understand your point of view, but I do not share it. Asking me to do so is asking me to unlearn 13 years' worth education.

Missouri is a border state. Maybe the border state. It also up until last year (barely) was the bellwether for political culture in the United States, having picked the President twenty-five out of twenty-six times since 1900. This is very impressive.

The major cities of Missouri (St. Louis and Kansas City) are decidedly Midwestern in culture and affiliation. However, Springfield has a strong claim to the title of "buckle" of the Bible belt, and part of Missouri did secede from the Union, making Neosho its capital.

When I said that Missouri is "just as southern as Kentucky is", I will admit that I was basing that statement on one and exactly one definition of being Southern -- that is, slave state vs. free state. Realistically, I would consider Missouri a Midwestern state, as most Missourians (like yourself) identify with the Midwest. To the contrary, most Kentuckians identify with the South, though Kentucky's largest metro area is Cincinnati.

I will also note that both Missouri and Kentucky were represented at last weekend's LAFF events. As was Arkansas, of course. But I'm not trying to say that Arkansas is Midwestern at all (though northwest Arkansas is more Midwestern than Southern IMHO)

*nods*

I understand where you're coming from now.

I'm glad this didn't degenerate into a drama fueled shitstorm, as misunderstandings and disagreements so often do.

*pawshakes with you enthusiastically* Ah, Southeast Missouri! I stop at Boomland everytime I pass through. And that's quite often. ^^

That's the fireworks place in Fenton, right?

Fenton's about an hour and ten minutes from me.

If I had money to spare I'd probably stop there on my next venture north.

As it is, no explosions. Pyromania denied.

The Boomland I stop at is in Charleston on I-57...
