The entry on slash was obviously weak, but the rest of those entries were pretty amusing. I've never even HEARD of boytaurs.
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Someone here posted the link to boytaurs awhile ago.

Right, slash is totally weirder than Furries for Jesus.

What a shock that all of the staff on that site are men.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I guess I figured there were ICP and Furries that believe in god--I just didn't think they'd have to get together to talk about it.
That's the other FG thing the Internets provide--the ability to define yourself not just as someone who likes to wear rubber gloves on their head, but someone who will only do it Tuesdays when there's a full moon out.
Slash is strange, though. I base this on the fact that pretty much no one I've met off the internet knows what it is, and they look at me funny. I'm the resident "oh, do you want link to a a porn (possibly gay) story about that?" person at krav. I'm startled people keep being startled.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And Second Life? Really not all that fringe-y.

I had to explain that to someone this week too. Makes me wonder at the target demographic of that site. I can see it skipping slash, but 2nd Life?

I think I knew what slash was before I knew what the internet was. (I read some article a long time ago about slash, and its origin in K/S slash that was distributed by mail and sold at Trek conventions....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"Second Life is actually dull and lame" has gotten to be such a common trope that I suspect it's in there because it's not all that fringe-y. The ex-furry ministry, otoh, cracks me right up.

The writers for Cracked are struggling comedians writing top-ten lists no one reads for a defunct magazine and almost no pay. So you gotta take your weak take on slash with your extremely telling rant on furries for Christ. The next article I read mentioned both slash and Second Life [link] so they're obvs going for the quick joke here.
