>You have been summoned by GGE
>Type 'mjoin GGE' to accept the summons

 I typed the command, and was instantly teleported to his customised room; only monospaced text explaining what was surrounding me..."

Last month, I managed to make contact with someone posing as a furry on FurryMUCK - I say 'posing' because it was quite clear it was actually a journalist trying to go undercover. In fact, Tippus Tailus highlighted this specific user to me, since he actually knew this journalist personally and wanted me to meet him personally for an article he wanted to write for the magazine, Gay Times. Seems that it could be an opportunity to put the furry fandom under a positive light, but I was cautious; I've done my research on how the press portray us and I made aa vow of abstainence regarding any such coverage on my part...then I found out that the two articles from the London Metro and the recent one from Bizarre covering RBW was actually given the thumbs upp by the LondonFurs, so I thought this would be the whammy that would kill off the past.

Tippus, myself, and some furr who I've never seen called AlphaFox went to a studio apartment in Tottenham to meet this person, and he appeared quite polite and welcoming as an end to that damn 30min bus ride we had to take before then. Anyways, to the point - he took a few photographs of us together outside with fursuits on that he managed to borrow from the fancy dress shop. I didn't really mind it, since I'm just pleased to wear anything close to a fursuit, as I'm sure you've read from my New Year Resolutiions. Then we sat down and talked over the principles of the fandom, basically how the LondonFurs started and what my invollvement was with them. I talked about how I joined in 2003 and got mixed up with certain furs who were abusing other furs and ended up getting a bad name because of what I thought was a good thing was actually viewed as stealing someone's boyfriend. Tippus spoke about his ffriendship with Marcony going sour about ten years before over how yiffy people shoould be within the Devonshire Arms. Of course, I could see the journalist's eyes light up at hearing that certain four lettered word.

I was there to patch things up and give a true account. Of course, this was a journo for Gay Times; I should have thought better :/ what he was after was what was in AlphaFox's bag, which ended up being a laptop containing what looked like the entire fchan archive, and that fucking AVI of the Eurotrash thing about ten years ago. That's when I realised why I didn't know AlphaFox - he attended RBW and got kicked out when he was found to be sneaking in cannabis, and was banned from LF meets ever since. It’s embarrassing enough seeing someone with that kind of stuff, but then he had to pull out one of Zetacreations toys – the Kit Fox. My face went a new shade of palle as Tippus and Alpha just go on about the whole sexual aspect of the thing, and you could tell that they had a good bone to pick and a heavy grudge against certain furss, naming certain furs that I know, but refuse to relay here.

It appears to be that I was sent along to join in, but it diddn’t end up the way that they wanted it to be; no juicy yiff stories or backstabbing. I didn't really want it to be this way, and now I feel fucking stupid for being pulled into it.

Seems there's a lot to learn about the gay community and how I should approaach it >.< I've viewed the article now, and it appears that most of it centres on the basis of the LondonFurs meeting every three weeks in Soho, and that a splinter group meets after the main meet to play with ZC toys. If anyone's after the article, I'm told it's in the next issue of Gay Times (#368). I might as well say where it is now, so I can admit to my stupidity. I am not amused by it.

All I can say is that I’m sorry. I made a veryy bad mistake.

Obama Llama!

]

• The buildup, where reporters were discussing what was more important:
  • The fact that the reign of Bush was finally over
  • The inaugeration of the first president that had a skin colour that wasn't white or orange
  • William Hill put the ultimate solution to consolidating your debts into one easy manageable payment - 1000/1 for an assassination
  • Wolf Blitzer was being paid double because he was lead presenter of the inaugeration on CNN, and the event was overrunning into his daily scheduled programme
  • Hillary Clinton finally accepted defeat of representing the Democrat Party for the 2008 election
  • Michelle Obama was wearing a dress that every woman in the world should be wearing tomorrow. No, really. It's a bill that's going to be passed through Congress tomorrow! You can't evade Mrs O, she's the new Oprah. One day, every small child in a sweatshop will be solely working on copying whatever she wears for the next four years...maybe eight!
  • Princess Diana wasn't there to attend it, because that's the only member of the Royal Family that the US knows ;)
  • Fox News was holding a day of rememberance and devoted the whole day of broadcasting to showing a slideshow of Bush-Cheney photos.
  • OH MY GOD! OBAMA'S BLACK!? Shit, we were so blinded by McCain's black hole of a face that we didn't notice.
• CNN begging everyone to send in photos to compile into that awkward QuickTime 'panorama' image that was whizzy and interesting when they introduced it on every website back in 2001, but is now pretty old hat;
• Bush refusing the chance to do a Prince Charles and lead Obama to the stage with the words 'The stage is yours, Sooty';
• Aretha Franklin doing a wonderful turkey impression while singing 'My Country, 'Tis For Thee'
  • ...which by the way is 'God Save The Queen' without the contraband verse about killing Scots.
• The Chief Justice spicing things up for Obama by giving him the wrong Presidential Oath to rehearse the day before;
• Teddy 'Teddy-Eddy' Kennedy showing solidarity by attending the luncheon, just to get Sen. Byrd doing his best to carry on the Kennedy Curse, even if it killed him;
  • Obama having to perform improv., pulling his planned speech out of his pocket and instantly pushing it back in as a result of the lack of 2 Senators in the room.
• CNN showing a GPS locator of the motorcade, just to find out it had a precision of 250m;
• Obama walking 1/3 of the way - huge applause;
• Biden walking 1/2 of the way - minor applause;
• The repeat of Harry Hill's TV Burp...oh, wait. That was when I switched over.

• Completion of 'Yiff Story 4' - it's halfway complete as I type this, but will only contain mature scenes, not adult ones. You have been warned.
• End of 2008 Report - To be started when the story has been finished.

If you're willing to send a Christmas Card to me, I'd be happy to send one to you :D

PM for my address. 9 are up for grabs, distance is no issue (so long you do send one back to me!)

It's was July, and another report was supposed to come out about my life...and yet again, it was delayed:
