Alright, who is the Brony....

Being bored I put a documentary on about Bronies and one of the guys in the documentary has a bunch of W123's and w115 diesels in North Carolina.

So, are you a member here?

If so, nice car.

After googling the term, I can't imagine being that bored.

I have to say I don't get the whole Brony thing AT ALL. I don't know if there is a general "feminization" of men going on, but this is at least evidence for their "de-masculinization"

Full grown men and cartoon ponies.
OK..... .

I had to Google it.

It sounds like some weird subsets of Otakudom.

Had to google that one, too. Boy am I out of touch!

Every month or so as I was leaving the grocery store in Rocky Hill, I would notice a bunch of folks dressed up in animal costumes hanging out around the diner. After the 2nd time I thought it couldn't be a coincidence and mentioned it to my wife who thought I was going nuts. After the third time she googled it and discovered furries met there the first Friday of every month. It'd be a little disconcerting to some people if they had no idea what was going on.

There are lots of...um...interesting...people in this world!

dont worry, I had no idea what either were as well, and once again, googling something mentioned on this forum has left me regrettably enlightened.

One thing about the internet age, is it sure makes it easier to seek out and find people with the same interests as your own. This forum is a perfect example, there is probably a bronie forum too

Furries are weird people....there are a few in the area of Orlando. I see a few at Disney as well. In the Cosplay scene they are kind of outcasts and weirdos so much so that they have their own conventions.

I guess it's sorta like the old Playboy Bunny costumes, only creepier.

Close friends with a guy who has a fully defined fox type furry character. Up to and including field trips in costume.

What questions do all y'all simpletons have?

I went to Star Wars celebration here in FL and looked at making storm trooper armor but haven't gotten around to it.
