Furmeet! Dog+Roo+Fox+Catameep

Arrived at deffox+dakhun's place only 10 minutes late, which is approximately on time by furry standards.  Then we proceeded to Royal Pizza to meet up with danruk, draconic_mith, and Mith's roommate whose name I forget.  Royal is indeed very good.  I got mushroom while everyone else got various toppings derived from pig-meat.  I showed Deffox some example knobs and tubes from my house-wiring.

We then dropped off Danruk's car at Mith's place and the four of us proceeded to the Putting Edge glow-in-the-dark mini-golf.  Our scores were all about the same, but Dakhun asked me how often I played this game and how come I was so good at it???  There was a mini-golf course near my childhood home, but it was outside and had rotating windmills.

Then off to Dakhun+Deffox's place to watch Spaceballs, which is a parody of Star Wars.  When that movie ended it was not yet dark, so Dakhun put on Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, which is a parody of every Kung Fu movie ever made.  It was very funny!  Similarities between the movies

• Director also acted multiple rôles in film;
• Poked fun at merchandising (Return of the Killer Tomatoes also did this);
• Script included forward references to an assumed sequel that was never made.

Deffox and Dakhun did not sit at the TV for the second movie.  The Fox went to his computer station, while the not-Marmot tried to get binoculars focused on Comet Holmes (see also here).  The sky had been predicted to be clear, but was actually full of clouds.  Dakhun finished his setup as the movie was ending.  The comet was rather disappointing through the clouds -- a dim fuzzy ball disconnected to anything else and not moving fast enough to be noticable as a nonstandard celestial object.  I perhaps offended Dakhun (who has a doctorate in Astronomy) by failing to be enthralled at the once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event -- and also perhaps by leaning on one his plushies at the beginning of the first movie.

Then I drove Danruk back to his car, realizing on the way that I had left my laptop behind (I never got around to showing off its über-leet Linuxness).  I also finally got to ask Danruk about making contact with a certain subgroup of furries who engage in certain socially-disrespectable activities (vagueness alert!), only to find out that the roo tries not to associate with such personages (anymore?).  Oh well; guess my radar-ears detected a false positive.  I probably shouldn't have mentioned a certain female four-letter word beginning with 'K'.

Returning to retrieve the computer, I managed to get lost in the myriad one-way streets of downtown Hamilton ON, finally completing my journey after about an hour.  While retrieving the MacGuffin, I found out that Deffox had called stuffedwithfluf to tell her that I left my laptop behind.  Since she had received a call with my approximately departure time, I didn't bother calling her again and left for home.

My route home involved too many streeets named Main, several named King, and at least two named Dundas.  It also involved both HWY 8 and RR8 (what is it with these Canadians, interleaving two roads with the same number in different numbering systems on the same stretch of asphalt?)  I noticed that downtown Cambridge has completely skipped over Remembrance Day and decorated for Christmas with illuminated evergreen trees lining the main street.
