Title: Does your fursona run a business?
Post by: Kobuk on August 16, 2018, 10:20:31 pm: Let's get some furry discussion going here. ;)

If your fursona were to run a business, what do you think it might be? Would it cater to all types of fursona species or only a select variety? Would it be a textile business, tech and manufacturing business, financial, retail, restaurant and hospitality, or something else?

Post by: Jade Sinapu on August 17, 2018, 12:33:12 pm: My fursona deals in rough gems, minerals, and fossils. He collects these all in his spare time. Most of his clients make items from them for retail. Some clients use his goods in rituals, sometimes involving transformation. He caters only to anthropomorphic shapeshifters, since he is almost anyways in that form himself. His store is located in the woods , up highway 119 in Colorado, and is open only on the first Saturday of each month from 8am till 8 pm. Cash only sales. It is a cabin like any other. There is no sign. Business is by word of mouth only. He works a day job in human form as an engineer.

It's not a large place. Just a small business where people can come in, sit down, grab a quick bite to eat or something to drink, and socialise. We offer hot and cold sandwiches, salads, soup, various pastries and muffins, snacks, and assorted juices and coffees. Our doughnuts and other pastry items are baked by Old Rabbit and delivered fresh every day. :) Same thing for our various breads we use for the sandwiches which are baked and delivered by Cause the Rat. We're open 8am to 7pm Mon. to Thurs., 8am to 7pm on Fri. and Sat., and 9am to 5pm on Sun.

I've actually coaxed groundhogs, and other varmints, out into the open. Farmers love it when I prowl thier soybean fields. Haven't done it lately though.

Oh my goodness!
This should also be a non - performance use of a fursuit item for Varg's thread!
So do you tell people what you will be doing so they do not shoot the big coyote lurking in the field?
Do you pounce on the little varmints after you flush them out with a fierce growl?

The more you buy, the cheaper it is.

(Got to unload this stuff before the NRC/FDA/EPA comes)

Also, on special offer, arsenic ore is also down by 10%.
(see same reason above).

hmm no I'm sorry but I do take tide pods
Title: Re: Does your fursona run a business?
Post by: Jade Sinapu on December 18, 2018, 01:03:44 am: Same thinking applies, do not eat Tide pods, and do not eat radioactive rocks. But when I mined the rocks I carried then home in my pants pocket....so.....anyway....

So does Charcoal do automatic transmissions for 1000 tide pods? It's got a hard 3-2 downshift under heavy load.

I hope those were cargo pockets. Otherwise you might want to adopt kids instead of having them. :p
Title: Re: Does your fursona run a business?
Post by: Jade Sinapu on December 18, 2018, 09:45:37 am: I don't want kids. For their own sake.
If I had some, they would just end up 1/2 animal because I would convert them to fury animals. Then they would get abducted by a mad scientist who would try and figure out what they are. Only to find out it is just a fun hobby.

Na mostly beta and alpha. Alpha stopped by clothes and dead skin layer. Beta mostly stopped by skin. And exposure time was only 3 hours at a distance of about 1 cm, with denim in between. With my Geiger counter at that distance it was like 44,000 counts per minute for alpha+beta+gamma. That's about <700 times background. Or about < 25% extra for the year. My areas background level is 67 counts per minute. My body is slightly higher at about 71 counts per minute.

I now use a lead lined wood box. And in fact I haven't collected rocks like that in 5 years?

Would it be possible to buy Mt Dew in gallon size mugs? How about frozen Mt Dew smoothies? Just a thought from a Corgi who loves coffee and most things which include a good dose of caffeine!

Kobuk knows better than to buy his Dew from Doc (http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autowb665.html). If you ask reeeaaaakly nicely he might pour it into an IV.

Oh really? So is your country a good country or a bad country? Better not be a dictatorship otherwise I'll impose economic sanctions and an embargo. I'll have to stop all exports of Mt. Dew to your country.

It is a good country that has lasted for at least 3000 cycles (years). Information on the country (and world lore) can be found here. (https://www.f-list.net/c/kingdom%20of%20furgasta) If is in ways similar to the United States. The primary kingdom can be seen as the federal government, and the four lower kingdoms as state governments. The primary kingdom creates the base laws all kingdoms must abide by to ensure a check to corruption and protection against foreign attackers, while each kingdom rules over its own citizens with their own laws. The only difference is the lack of elected officials. The primary ruler is ordained each new generation by the creator god Amun-Ra from the Silvermyst bloodline.
