TorFur (Toronto+area furries) had a meetup at UWaterloo.  The university is out of session this week, so attendance was poor: just [livejournal.com profile] tehpyrex, BigMacD, and "Teddy" whose complete furname I didn't quite catch.  Việtnamese food was had by all, as were a great many jokes and puns based on shared geeky culture.

Things got off to a bit of a shaky start when I talked about my fellow Russian students "during the Cold War", when the other furs present were either babies or not yet born.  But somebody make a joke that included a Start Trek:TOS reference, which I saw in reruns like everyone else, so things got better.

This is my third furmeet in as many months!  If this keeps up, I might actually meet some Canadians, despite my work-at-home job.  Unfortunately, if I meet too many people, my poor memory for faces will likely lead to confusion.  BigMacD's head is shaped similarly to [livejournal.com profile] danruk's; he's a duck and so is Danruk's boyfriend.  Teddy is a professional puppeteer, like [livejournal.com profile] rapidtrabbit, which may be why I keep thinking of him as a rabbit although "bear" is apparently his chosen pheno.  Oddly enough, I had no difficulty thinking of Pyrex as a koala, so I probably won't confuse him with anyone.

Nobody bought my claim to be a dog; it just didn't register with them.  I think they were more willing to buy "arctic fox" (Teddy asked for the Linnaean binomial).  At one point BigMacD gave his quaaack, but I didn't reply.  25 years ago I could do a decent gruuwlf, but it just doesn't come out anymore.  I can still do a reasonable facsimile of a mrrao but I think "cat in a dogsuit" is just too silly for an offline pheno, so I don't say anything.
