Heya, everyone!
Well, I figure I should introduce myself, at least. My name is Alexandre de Britos Santoro, a name that originates from Portuguese (though many others call me Alex or Big Al). I was born in the poor part of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but was accidentally mailed to the U.S. in a card-board box (which also happened to be my home). Luckily, a nice little family took me in, even if it was in Utah.
I'll have to write my biography some day. :)
Anyway, I love English, and I really want to write. I'm a horrible artist, but I enjoy writing. A lot of my time will be dedicated to college for the next 40 bazillion years until I can finally teach English on the university level. In other words, I'm never getting out of school.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'm not scary, I swear...
-
Welcome! (:
-
Howdy! That's an interesting back ground for sure though! :)
-
What's your favorite tea?
>@_@< ::Dewy-eyed look of innocence::
-
Welcome to the team Al ^_^
Really glad to have you on board. *Offers a cup of tea as per Kwan's design* >_>
We'll also require you to have a communication chip stuck in your brain so you can stay in contact with us all the time, so if you could come to my office around 5 pm tomorrow, that'd be great ^_^
-
*pouncehugs*
Welcome to the team (:
-
Congrats again on the new promotion. :D
-
Thanks for the welcomes, everyone! ^_^
What's your favorite tea?
>@_@< ::Dewy-eyed look of innocence::
Kwan, I think you know what my favorite tea is...
<.<
>.>
... and Blast slipped me a cup of it yesterday. :)
Communication chip? Wai... I don't wanna be a cyborg. They already tried that on me in the Ukraine... I woke up with a dull headache and a burning city around me...
-
DON'T TRUST BLASTDAV! Knowing him, he'll probably turn you into a different color or offer you some terrible geneticaly enhanced cookies like he did in his staff thread. >:(
-
Communication chip? Wai... I don't wanna be a cyborg. They already tried that on me in the Ukraine... I woke up with a dull headache and a burning city around me...
*gasp*
YOU were the one responsible for Chernobyl!
That explains how you turned pink! Oh no wait, that was Blastdav's fault, I remember now. :D

Hey, it wasn't my fault! I thought it was going to be a French cake-eating contest 'til someone with a beret smacked me over the head with a night stick...
-
Everyone I know is becoming a Watcher! It must be the cool thing to do.
-
No, not really. It's simply because we like the color purple. :D *spray paints purple all over the place*
-
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...wait...wait..
wait
wait
Is this gonna be like blastdavs pink thing?
-
Cough... cough... ack...
... gee, McMajik, I hope not...
*looks in the mirror*
... ack!
-
No, not really. It's simply because we like the color purple. :D *spray paints purple all over the place*
*stands there, looking all purple-y*
Not coo Kobuk, very not coo.
*closes eyes and becomes invisible*

Kalo just snapped... :o
Bye Kobuk! It was nice knowing yah!
-
Al's a Watcher! Yay! *hugs the fox* :D
Ahh! You're gonna get some of this purple all over you!
... hey, wait... that's kinda cool...
*hugs Rick* :)
-
Weeeee!!!
You should rename this topic "Big Gay Al" ;)
-
Grat Al, >.> *stands away from the madness <.<*
-
Weeeee!!!
You should rename this topic "Big Gay Al" ;)
Hey! Just because I was pink and now am purple doesn't mean...
... well, uh...
... never mind. :-[
Hey! It's Makir! Come over here!!! :)
*hugs Makir*
-
Now that the purple seems to have mystically disappeared...
<.<
>.>
*builds a stand that says "Limerick for a Cookie" and sits behind it*
Come one! Come all! Specifically, come those with the cookies! Behold the wonder, the spectacle, the limerick!
I laugh at those who doubt its power! Ha ha! The powers are so mystical, nobody can quite say what it does, but it is definitely.... existant.
Observe:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a pink fox named Al
Who chased down a nice looking fowl.
It went in a jacuzzi,
And, feeling rather woozy,
He decided to throw in the towel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ha! Could you not feel the power! Now, I'm giving them away for an incredible, irrefusable price of one cookie each! So come, my friends, and behold the wonder of the limerick!
-
Just one cookie? There's got to be a catch, right?
<.<
>.>
-
Catch? Hmm... lemme see...
*unscrolls a rather large piece of parchment*
Alright, what do we have here... the green jello clause... from five weeks to a year... up to and including the letter 2...
Oh! Here we go!
The Limerick
The mystical nature of the limerick has been discussed by many, disputed by few, and ingested by none*. There are, of course, no clauses, pretenses, incongruencies, discombobulations, striations, or any other negative effect from said poetry**. Limericks are a joy and are created to please the individual reader, thus creating a positive atmosphere in any situation.
*None except for goats, shrews, badgers, sharks, sea cucumbers, and one little weasel found lost in Albania.
**All promises made are based on unreal facts. Please note that the limerick will likely cause the reader to turn into a fish of the poet's choice.
Uhh... so, you see? No catch! None whatsoever... <.<
-
I was going to give a batch of 6 cookies... but now I just don't know.
Take out the possibility of becoming a fish and then we have a deal! I'm not too sure on how water-channel accessible this place is designed... :P
Cookies!! But not for you!... yet. (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2329/2467079836_714d266c33.jpg)
-
Wait, wait, wait...
Look. It's just a fish. And, besides, I get to choose what kind. You could be a sword fish... or a tuna fish... or a koi...
Besides, I have this nice little, sword fish, tuna and koi pond right here! *displays the happy forested pond*
See? It'd be great. Plus, I'd feed you every day! ^_^
Come on!
-
See? It'd be great. Plus, I'd feed you every day! ^_^
You'd feed us? Or do you mean "we'd get fed" to something else..........like maybe a shark for instance? :o
-
Hm... Food, shelter, Limerick, and any fish I want to be... Sold!
Here's your cookies! Cookies for you! (And then some!) (http://www.greatharvestlouisville.com/images/extravagent_basket.jpg)
And make me a sword fish, at least I could poke people walking by! :)
Besides, I'm not *that* low on the food chain now. >.>
-
'Tis done, Lawrence!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a red wolf named Lawrence
Who wanted to chew on an orange quince.
On his way to Asia,
The pilot had amnesia
And landed the plane in Florence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hereby deem you a swordfish!
(http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p372/alexandre_de_britos/swordfish.jpg)
Ooh! You even turned out red. :)
-
Arbutus, you shouldn't try giving cookies out in secret... you still get your reward in public. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My dearest friend, Arbutus,
On his journey to Main had a fuss.
He totaled his car
And couldn't hop that far,
So he hitch-hiked with a beaver named Gus.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are hereby a fangly fish!
(http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p372/alexandre_de_britos/fanglyfish.jpg)
Oh my, Arbutus! Looks like you found some little friends. :D
-
>_>
<_<
gimme!!! ^_^ >_<
(http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/super_mario_cookie.jpg)
-
Just as long as Dr. Arbutus gets his own pond, I won't mind. I mean, He looks incredibly ravenous now! :o
By the way... Does there happen to be an anti-limerick to get rid of this? I don't remember covering the issue of limerick transformations in Medi - school.
-
Oh no! But I was just giving you a cookie because you were soliciting them on FA! I didn't want to be a... fanglyfish...
...although since I turned you into a newt, I guess this is payback. Oh well, at least I get to be an upside-down fanglyfish.
Thank you for the limerick, in any case! :)
*ravenously devours a passing Furtopian*
-
*bans Arbutus for eating a Furtopian member* >.<
-
No, no, it's okay! He was a spammer. :)
-
Oh my goodness! Another request! Right-oh...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I once knew a McMajik
Who lived far away from the sticks,
But that cat, all too snookie,
Gave a Mario cookie,
So I wrote him this limerick.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ah hah! I deem you a nautilus!
(http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p372/alexandre_de_britos/Nautilus.jpg)
Wait... that's not so fishy. What's goin' on?
... oh well. :)
Arbutus, be kind to the spammers. Here, have a troll.
*throws troll to the fishies*
Wait... I just realized...
... I made a limerick for myself... :o
-
No! I swear, that limerick was just a demonstration! You know, to, uh... show my talent?
*poofs*
x_x
(http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p372/alexandre_de_britos/blobfish.jpg)
... and it had to be the blob fish ... o.o
-
Oh...
...oh man.
You are literally the most unattractive creature I've ever seen. I'm sorry.
I think I have a Calvin and Hobbes-style transmogrifier somewhere in my thread, but I can't go looking for it because it's on dry land and I'd suffocate. :(
-
(http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p372/alexandre_de_britos/blobfish.jpg)
Ah! :o oh god man...Geeze did somebody open the Ark of the Covennant? Oh god...I-I'm sorry man, I can't even look at you.
*shivers in disgust.*
-
Run, Arbutus, run! Err... swim! Get that transmogrifier! :o
As for now, I'll just bob here... looking sad...
*looks sad*
-
O.o
Thank goodness I didn't get turned into that!
If you want Alexandre, I can eat you and you won't be able to look at yourself! To top it off it'll put something else on you mind!
-

<.<

Uhh...
...I'm afraid that might be the best option. Arbutus is taking a long time...
Alright. Eat me. :o

Ok, I really hope you taste better than you look... >.>

*Chews slowly and swallows...* x_x
Ugh... At least he's now in a better place.
*shudders* Bleh..
-
:o
...
:o
Did that just happen?
One of Furtopia's own watchers... eaten? Consumed? Gone?
An innocent limerick game has spiraled into madness! Help! Somebody! Anybody who has legs and can breathe on dry land! Figure out some way to transform us all back to the way we used to be!
The life of everybody in this thread depends on just one thing: Finding someone back there who not only can fly this plane, but who isn't a fish.
-
I'll take the case! :D
I mean, I'll try. >:(

What madness is this!? What have you done!?
Do you realise how seriously eating that thing'll mess you up!?
Pretty seriously. *shakes head in disgust*
-
umm, he is gone?
*finds the wand and shakes it, alexandre re-appears as a red wolf with a hors's tail and a fox's head, and a wolf's ears*
uhhh don't turn me into a fish.
-
Yeay! I'm alive again!
Oh, wait... :o
You got me close, but I wanna be a pink fox again! Awwwuh... v.v
-
okay alexandre i fixed it,
*shakes wand on the hodgepodge canine and in a cloud of smoke, you turn back into a pink fox*
see, your fixed?
-
Yeay! I'm a real fox! *hugs*
Alright... but what to do about these other fishies? Hmm...
I know... I need to write a pantoum... :o
*runs away and starts writing*
-
*shakes wand and all the fishes become furs again, hoe ever, all of their fur is soaking wet as they were in water tanks or ponds and the smell of wet fur flows around the room*
you all need baths!
-
Agreed. :o
Hey, how did you get all that power? It could either be used for good...
<.<
>.>
... or for awesome ... :D
-
Hurray for rabbitude. :)
-
*drives by in his freezer wearing a gas mask* I came prepared!
-
Yay! No more Swor.... ugh... I think that pink mass I ate is having a war with my stomach "downstairs". :o
Where are the bathrooms, quick!!
*Runs down the hall pushing Artic Bat's freezer out of the way.*
-
*Freezer tips over on the door and wont open* Oh god....Its dark now hmmm i can sleep in this thing.....Hello? Hello? any one there i need help
-
*wanders in*
Ooh! A bat trapped in a freezer... :)
What'll you give me if I let you out?
-
Your soul.
-
Oh...
... so that's where it went. :o
Right, right, I'll let you out.
*tips the freezer over and opens it up* There.
-
Freedom!!! *jumps out and takes off with his wings but hits a building*

As I was telling Alexandre last night on IM, I found a pink fox fursuit for him. ^_^ Unfortuneately, it's a female fox fursuit. :P :D
http://community.livejournal.com/fursuitauctions/681311.html
-
That fursuit rocks! It doesn't look too feminine, but, according to the height, it's about 6 inches too short for me... :(
But, it still rocks. :D
EDIT: Grah! I'm still considering if it would be worth getting! I'm a poor college student, and I'd have to make alterations, but it's just so cool! Aww...
-

*Pats Alexandre considerately*
Maybe if all the college students could sum their money together, (and not spend it on amazing pizza, nor party) you could then afford it, AND go to a con of your choice!
*Starts passing around a donation bin "Pink Fox Power"*
Support your local pink fox today!
*Pokes the donation bin in Kobuk's stomach.*
-
Yeah, Lawrence, I think that's a great idea!
*stares at Kobuk all cutesy-like* :)
-
Al, don't go and start giving me that sad fox look. I ain't buying it. :P I'm NOT rich. *passes the collection bin to Kaloyan* ------>
If Kaloyan can afford to give out all those Kit Kat candy bars, then he can afford a fursuit for you. :)
-
Aww...
*gives Kaloyan a puppy-dog look* Puh-weeeeese?
-
:o Huh? me!? I can't afford a fursuit for myself let alone someone else. And I got all these KitKats with my amazing ninja skills. I infiltrated Hershey PA and nicked them from corporate HQ.... Or maybe that was a movie I saw the other night....or a dream. (:
Anyway they were given to me by the head of the Hershey company for not divulging his horrible secret....Or did I get them for inventing the character Hershey for the 'Sonic' comics?
At any rate, the origin of my KitKats is highly classified.
But I'm not heartless. :)
*puts a five dollar bill in the donation bin*
Every little bit helps right? ;)
-
*A giant anthropomorphic Hershey's Kiss walks into the thread.*
(http://whodatcostumes.com/img/Costume-0080.jpg)
*points at Kalo, screaming* YOU! You were the one who kidnapped my children!
-
:o
What the...?
...is this what happens when you start begging for money to buy a fursuit? I said fursuit, not candysuit... :(
*gives the Hershey's Kiss a puppy-dog look*
-
:o ...ooookaaaayyyy, this is getting a bit too odd for my tastes so I'm gonna slip out for a little bit.
*Slinks out of the thread*
-
*looks at Kaloyan all sad-like as he leaves* Aww... but s/he came just for you. I think s/he loves you.
...does chocolate have a gender? :o
Oh well. *hugs the chocolate, licking his paws afterwards*
Aww...
-
Look at that, they're having relationship problems! Awww, run out there and go get him back giant Hershy's kiss!!!
-
:o ...ooookaaaayyyy, this is getting a bit too odd for my tastes so I'm gonna slip out for a little bit.
*Slinks out of the thread*
:D Too weird? You should take a look back in the archives of Blastdav's thread. At one point Kobuk put Blastdav on trial for hoarding treasure and eating villagers and such, but he escaped by running away to frozen northern Canada with everyone else in the thread. Somehow we all wound up on the same rocket-powered dog sled together with every famous Canadian in existence, including Jim Carrey, Les Stroud, Sarah MacLachlan, and all five Barenaked Ladies. And then Weisse and I ran off to Vegas to elope, but we accidentally destroyed the Sun in the process and everything in the thread started to get very, very cold. :D

Oddly enough, I remember all that... :o
Oh well. Who wants s'mores?
*offers a platter of graham-cracker, marshmallow and hershey's kiss goodness* :)
-
*A zip-line drops from the ceiling, and a red wolf wearing full covert-ops gear rides it down practically knocking Alex the head with his feet.*
I want one!! :)
-
*A rift in the space-time continuum appears, dropping a white cat wearing jeans and a black t-shirt next to the marshmallows*
Guys, you don't want to eat those marshmallows, they might be poisoned , i'll eat them to make sure they're safe.
-
Phase shifts from the spectral to the material realm, appearing to others as if he simply faded into existence right beside Alexandre.*
I'll take one. :)
-
*falls over, throwing the platter into the air* :o
Whoa! Watch out guys!
*looks around and "watches out" by opening his mouth* :)
-
I'm half-asleep, groggy, and wanting to post an update. If my English is slightly off, forgive me. :o
Update 1: I was mated, but I have stopped dating as of... uh, today. As in, we broke up. I think we're still gonna be great friends, but that's where it's gonna be.
Update 2: I finished finals, still waiting for grades. I think I'll do okay. My classes weren't as hard as I've had before, but I'm still worried about a couple (like the final on my Living with Wildlife class... and, yes, a furry actually has to worry about that).
Update 3: I got a scholarship! Actually, two. They'll probably pay for a whole semester or two, so I'll be able to live off of more than just Top Ramen and PB&J.
Update 4: As soon as possible, I'm sending my poetry to some journals to see if they can get published. After my advanced poetry class, I feel somewhat confident in what I have. I plan on submitting to the Indiana Review, as well as several others. I'll keep all y'all updated if anything happens (publishing is hard).
Update 5: I'm working! I technically have three jobs now: Walmart (in produce), Writing Center online tutor, and private tutor. The second and third haven't yielded anything over the summer, but we'll see if people actually use them. I hope so... I need money for AC. :)
Update 6: I'm going to AC! If you're there, I'll see ya. ^_^
Update 7: I'm a gonna go sleep now.
-
Okies, guys! I guess I should post this here! It's pretty big news for me, anyway.
I went to AC, and on Saturday night while we were playing a game of Werewolf, I met a fellow fox named Fazar. Of course, the three foxes there united against the rest of the crowd, so we basically controlled the whole game.
During that time, though, I watched Fazar... the way he acted, the way he laughed. There was something about him that I hadn't seen in anyone before...
Well, we stuck together a lot of the next day. Nothing happened between us; I just felt like something big could happen.
After I got back home from AC, we found each other online. A couple of days later, we officially became mates!
It's kinda scary to start something this quickly. I've never done it before, but (then again) I've never been the instigator of most of my relationships. I felt really good about it and still do. :)
Anyway, that's the huge announcement! ^_^
-
Congrats! :D
-
*hugs!*
Awesome news :D
-
*hugs!*
Awesome news :D
Congrats! :D
*hugs both* Thanks!
Oh, and I forgot!
*brings out a plate of cookies to celebrate* Enjoy! ^_^
-
Aw, congratulations, Alex!
*hands you a set of two carrots which he has somehow twisted into a heart shape*
-
Awesome news Alex! Congrats!
-
Congrats! (Psst... post to your LiveJournal... I don't read these mod threads very often :-P)
-
Aw, congratulations, Alex!
*hands you a set of two carrots which he has somehow twisted into a heart shape*
Aww, thanks!
*takes the carrot heart and cryogenically freezes it to preserve it forever* :)
And thanks, Kalo and Rick! I'll be sure to post to my Live Journal. :D
-
Aww, that's great! ^^
-
Eek!
Blast and I are in a movie! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqV2Jwcqlsg
He's acting as Art the Husky. I'm just havin' fun with him. :)
-
Psst.
Now you have to make an acceptance speech.
;)
-
Umm... okay. Umm...
*stands up tall at a podium with Furtopian flags waving behind him*
I'd just like to, erm, say that the world... I mean, Furtopia... is a good place. Really good. And as a moderator, I, umm... wait, where'd the hammer go...
*turns around and knocks over the podium, sending it down the stairs*
... darn. I'll have to clean that up later. As for now...
... anyone want a cookie?! *holds up a platter* :)
-
These admin threads always have plenty of food going around.
*grabs cookie and runs*
-
Omigod Alex! You been modinated!
-
Congrats Alex!
-
... darn. I'll have to clean that up later. As for now...

Heh, thanks! I got the cookies from Blast. :)
Oh no!
-
*looks around, crums from the cookie still on his muzzle* Why's everyone so worried? o.o;;
-
*takes a cookie and sniffs it, then begins to nibble*
Got any milk? Cookies always go good with milk. :)
-
*hands some milk to Kobuk* Oh, yeay! Blast says that these cookies were especially made for you, Kobuk! :)
-
Welcome to the moderator family! I know you will do a great job :)
-
*poofs*

Anthro pirate? Wait a second...

*begins to worry about what may happen*
-
Oh noes!

Wait, what...? You're a cat?
Umm... (had a hard time finding a pirate-creator, so decided to find others; so just ignore the past and pretend I was a cat all along, too <.<)

What just.... I'm a cat???
*checks mirror again and pauses*
...kinda cute though
-
Aww... you are cute, Ziel! :)
And Kobuk!
(http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p372/alexandre_de_britos/Kobukcat.jpg)
Looks like you lost your greenness. :o
*looks around* Now who else ate the cookies... <.<
-
*points and laughs*
Hee hee, Kobuk ain't green no more! He's got the regular color of a husky but ain't a canine no more either! :D :D :D
-
Mine didn't work! I'm exactly the same as before!
I DEMAND A REFUND! >:/
-
So what is this comedy show in your signature? :)
-
Well, Arbutus. Since you asked, I'm gonna try to do a weekly show that's an hour long about... well, whatever I want to talk about. This coming Sunday will start about vegetables and will go where it goes. I've always wanted to do some sort of comedy show, and while I do improv, I have the urge to do stand-up. While this isn't quite the same thing, it'll be done in mostly the same way.
I'll see how many people watch the first couple of months, then I'll decide if I continue or not. Or, in other words, if I can at least get into the double-digits, it might be worth going for a long time. :)

Oh, sorry! Should have said the time. It'll be 4:00 MST (6:00 EST). I figured this would be convenient for me and, well, somewhat reasonable for most others. :)

Grah, I hate you! XD
Well, I'll try tuning in at some point, but it probably won't be often or for long.

Aww... I'm sorry. Again, I can probably see what's best for others that are interested in listening; this is just what will work best for me right now. If you listen once or twice, then great; if not, mebbe I'll record them and keep them posted there...

Kitties, unite! Time to plan...

Update in my life!
My university holds Scribendi the creative writing contest once a year, and this year I won first place for both Poetry and Creative Non-Fiction! I am so excited! They'll be published in an online journal, so I'll be sure to link you guys up when it becomes available.
Guys, I am so happy. :)
-
No way, that's amazing! Congratulations, Alex!
Having seen as much of your writing as I have, though, I'm not too surprised. :)
-
Hey, thanks, Arbutus! :)
Anyway, here's the deal. There will be an online link, but unfortunately it will only be accessible to people from USU. If any of you want to read it, tell me either here or on a PM and I'll e-mail them to you. I'm being careful about this because I may be able to get these published, so I want to be sure to not do something that would make that impossible. ^_~
-
Okies! I have the links to the poetry and the non-fiction that won the contest
Poetry: http://www.scribendi.usu.edu/poetry_ugrad_1st.htm
Non-Fiction: http://www.scribendi.usu.edu/essay_ugrad_1st.htm
They're still going through formatting changes, so there are some punctuation issues that you'll see; however, I think it's currently available to everyone, and that won't last for long! Hurry! Take a look before it's no more! :o
(if it's already closed by the time you look, I'll send you a temporary link)
-
Didn't I see mention of you getting a fursuit in the near-ish future in some other thread?
-
Ah, yes, Ziel!
I'm getting a fursuit from Azure Coyote. I told them to make me a random canine suit, so I have no clue what it'll look like (except that it'll be mostly red, white, black and blue). It should be done in June, so things are coming up fast! :)
Anyway, yeah. I had to do it while I had some random extra money sitting around. If I hadn't done that, the money would have been long gone. ^_^;;
-
I have no clue what it'll look like (except that it'll be mostly red, white, black and blue).
You mean it won't be a pink fox? :o :'( :'( Awwww.
-
So he's going to be... an un-pink fox?
-
Seems uncharacteristic to me. Like if Kobuk were any color other than green.
-
...no pink fluffy tail to munch on D:?
-
Seems uncharacteristic to me. Like if Kobuk were any color other than green.
:o
But then it wouldn't be kobuk!
-
Heh. Well, the fursuit isn't gonna represent me as much as Alex does. Simply put, I think I'll have a broader range of acting ability if I don't associate myself with that character. I feel like I'd have a bit of a hard time portraying Alex's personality correctly, so a new, fresh character will be best.
So, sorry, no pink fluffy tail to munch on. I might have an Alex suit someday, but it doesn't feel right at the moment (if that makes sense).
-
..what kind of character IS he, that he would be so hard to be?
-
But, but......but, Alex. :( If you get a pink fox suit, I'll give you this nice fresh tasty double cheeseburger from Five Guys Burgers and Fries. :) Wouldn't a nice carnivore like you want a fresh and tasty burger right now? But you can only have it if you switch to a pink fox fursuit. ;)

-
Y'know Kobuk, if you take off the lettuce and tomato and pickle that burger would be worthy of drooling over.........and maybe if you threw a few of those fries onto the actual burger instead of as a side. :)
EDIT: Take the mushrooms off too, I hate fungi on my beef.
-
But burger's have... VEGETABLES!
I think you need to rethink your bait.

You must be a picky and fussy eater. :P Fine. *gets Kalo a double bacon cheeseburger without mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, and pickles*

*on noms* Not picky... I'm just a true carnivore. I don't eat leafy green veggies. They're poison y'know. Meat and cheese is all thats needed on a proper burger.......Maybe a chicken patty between the two beef patties....And bacon, lots of bacon.
-
I agree with Kaloyan, leave the rabbit food for the rabbits, and the meat for the carnivores! I'll take the fries too. Shoot, I'd even throw a fried egg on the bruger... dont knock it till you try it! I love food/cooking... I just dont like the clean up after the fact. And Alex.. I havent been on here for very long, but I already have you firmly planted in my mind as a pink fox with blue hair... you cant just change it up like that... I dont like change.
-
I agree with Kaloyan, leave the rabbit food for the rabbits, and the meat for the carnivores!
Agreed! Yum! =:9

Meat was made for produce, and vegetables for flesh. I prefer to have my cake and eat it.
Also, it's good to hear that you're getting a suit, Alexandre. I've always thought I could see you doing that.
-
I never actually got my question answered xD. What makes Alex such a hard character to play?
-
I never actually got my question answered xD. What makes Alex such a hard character to play?
I would think it's because he associates the character so much with his real self but probably wants him to act differently, yet everyone knows him as "Alex" so if he were to suit as him he wouldn't feel much like he were in a suit but rather just as himself.
I've heard a few fursuiters give this as a reason they do not suit as their own fursona.
-
:o
I disappear from this thread for a couple of days, and look what happens!
*noms the burger* :D

You hit the hammer on the... err, the nail on the hammer. On the head. Yeah... <.<
I'm an actor. I feel like I'd be able to put a lot more of a diverse personality into a new character. Consider it a new character, not a redefining of myself (because Alex is Alex, and that ain't gonna change :)). Playing Alex would be playing myself; that's not a bad thing, but it's something from which I want to break away.

Just a short update about things that have been going through my mind.
Yesterday, I was talking with a friend online about autism. He believes he may have some form or another, but his parents won't take him to talk to a professional (or anyone, for that matter, even though he occasionally has back-breaking depression). Personally, I've been curious about the possibility that I could be slightly autistic, so I asked him for the test. He sent it to me.
The results?
Your Aspie score: 140 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 90 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie
Now I realize that self-diagnosis is risky, but in a way this excites me. If I do have some level of autism, I would be able to finally understand a lot of my childhood. When I was young, my parents knew something was wrong with me. I went to some psychologists and have an MRI done, but nobody knew what was the matter. I was highly socially awkward and had many mental and emotional struggles until high school when I started doing improv comedy. That was what helped me build confidence in myself and learn how to interact with others. Honestly, based on the questions in that test, I would have scored even higher back when I was younger.
I'm going to go see a councilor up here at the university when I can to see if this is right or not. I feel like it is. In my opinion, this is hardly a bad thing; I want to understand who I am, and this might be an essential key to understanding parts of my life that were mysteries until now. :)
-
One quick update in my life! :)
My fursuit is getting mailed to me tomorrow! I have no clue how it looks, though, but I'll post pictures when I have them.
So be ready for the surprise, fellow furs. :D
-
Cool! Is it pink? I forgot, but who did you commission from?
-
I commissioned from Made Fur You, (http://madefuryou.com/) formally known as Azure Coyote Studios.
The fursuit isn't pink, I believe. I told them the colors, but y'all will have to wait to see it later (either tonight or tomorrow, hopefully). :)
-
One quick update in my life! :)
but I'll post pictures when I have them.
Ohh, you must! I can't wait to see! :o

And he's finished! Although I don't have him yet, enjoy your first glance at Digby! (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4027983) :)
-

ARGHHH, that is the cutest thing I have seen all day! *flails*
-
AHA! He IS pink! Not Alexandre, but he's still pink :D
-
Very nice! Congrats. :) *gives Alex a whole box of cookies*
Sorry I won't be at AC2010 to see him, but if you make 2011, I'd love to see him in person. ;)
-
*chuckles and eats a few cookies* Hee hee, thanks! And I told you guys! He's not Alex, but he's über-adorable! :)
-

Id love to see him in person too! Very nice...
Kobuk... I thought you were giving some fursuit workshop at AC? Honestly, since Im not going I wasnt really following the AC thread very carefully... but I could have swore you had mentioned that.
-

I had plans for that the last two years, but "unexpected issues" arose. :( Perhaps next year I will. ;)
-
Okay, I said the pink part because several people asked, and you indicated "he's not Alex", therefore, we assumed he wouldn't be pink :-[?
In any case, where did the name "Digby" come from?
-
Digby actually came from a random name generator, to tell the truth. The fursuit maker asked me for a name, and I didn't have any ideas. I pulled that generator up and flipped through until I came across this name. I thought it fit well, so I kept it! :)
Anyway, simple story, yeah, yeah. ;)
-
Guys...
... I got the fursuit today. Omygosh, I had so much fun. I somehow managed to get my friends to walk around with me on campus doing various errands. It was great!
(http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p372/alexandre_de_britos/FursuitKid2.jpg)
That kid I approached was really scared. She started to cry, and I had to keep myself from laughing. I realize that I looked like a big animal to her, so it's all good, but she was the cutest, saddest girl in the world. :)
(http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p372/alexandre_de_britos/FursuitJon.jpg)
This is a picture with my friend. He was my trainer for a day. :D
-
So after suiting for your first time, How was it? I'll bet you were nervous, excited, and lest I forget........HOT! x_x
-
I love it! It looks great... I joined here and really didnt want to have anything to do with a fursuit... but my opinoin is changing a bit. Of course, I could never afford one, and I dont even know how to sew on a button, so making one is out also. I had went to a gathering of furs this Saturday, and there were several suiters there... Just about all of the suits were very impressive! I can see why people do this too... well, I dont know if this is why yall do it... but it would be a why I would... Its an escape. Its like you are someone else, kind of like on vacation... you can forget about your problems, and just be your fursona. That is what attracted me to the fandom in the first place... well and the art, but the more I discover, the more Im drawn in.
-
That's probably part of the reason some people do it. Honestly, I love the look that people have. After the first time, I find that people's reactions are the best part for me. I like to see people smile (hence the reason I also do improv comedy). :)
So after suiting for your first time, How was it? I'll bet you were nervous, excited, and lest I forget........HOT! x_x
Nervous? Not really; I make a fool of myself enough that I'm over that. Excited? Definitely! It was so much fun. Hot? Omygosh... x_x
-
Hot? Omygosh... x_x
LOL :D *hands Alex some Gatorade* Don't worry. You'll get used to the heat soon enough with practice. ;) Just remember to take breaks every once in a while and to pace yourself. Don't over exert yourself too much. And most importantly: Stay hydrated. ;)
-
P.S. - Congratulations on becoming a full fledged fursuiter! :D *huskyhugs*
*hands Alex a shiny badge announcing him as a new fursuiter of the furry fandom and of Furtopia* :)
-
Alexandre, I *love* that suit. It looks really cute!
-
Not sure if anybody's asked this already, but why "Big Al"?
-
Not sure if anybody's asked this already, but why "Big Al"?
Well, after I started using Alexandre, I realized that Americans can almost never pronounce it right; it almost sounds too formal. "Alex" was a good shortened simple version of the name. However, some people (i.e. Blast) started calling me "Al," and they (i.e. him) decided "Big Al" would be a good nick.
So, yeah, I'm Big Al. :)
-
Well, after I started using Alexandre, I realized that Americans can almost never pronounce it right;
Wait, let me try to figure this out...
Al-ex-ahh-nd-ra?
Al-ex-and-ray?
:-[
-
Ive always thought it was Al-eh-san-drae. I had a customer at the bank with this name, and he was from Mexico or something. I called him and pronounced it as it looks. He then said... "Can you prounounce it correctly?" Its pronounced (like I did above). I told him I didnt think I could. I hung up, and practiced out loud a couple times.
-

If the pronunciation is Spanish-like, my guess is:
al-ay-HAN-druh
It looks so much like "Alexander"; that's what I thought it was for my first couple of months here...
-
Heh, well, I usually go with the Portuguese pronunciation, Ah-leh-SHAWN-dree. I lived in Brazil, so the name seemed appropriate. :)
Anyway, Alex will do, guys. <.<
-
-Head-desk-Head-desk-Head-desk-Head-desk-
I thought it was pronounced as "Alexander"...like the difference between "Theater" and "Theatre" :-[
-
Heh, well, I usually go with the Portuguese pronunciation, Ah-leh-SHAWN-dree. I lived in Brazil, so the name seemed appropriate. :)
Furries, we have the answer! :D
-

Furries, we have the answer! :D
And yet folks are still mis-pronouncing my name. As well as mis-spelling it.
-
The first time I realized how to actually pronounce your name was when you spelled it out in that story you wrote about the alien abduction thing. Wait... that would have been like, a year ago that you wrote that? Wow, time has gone by fast...
Before reading that, I had figured that you were going for something other than Alexander cause of the spelling. So I was basically reading it as a mash up of 'Alex' and 'Andre'. I tend to just read it as Alex anymore though. Easier on my brain...
-
And yet folks are still mis-pronouncing my name. As well as mis-spelling it.
Aww, it's okay! *pats you on the back*

Big new for my life!

My improv comedy troupe is starting professional performances tonight! I advertised on the street this morning, and I'll be out there in the afternoon, too. Fursuiting while advertising gets a lot of attention; I even got a big rig to honk at me. :D
-
Must be hot out there in that suit in the summer. :(

Well, it was about 8:00 AM, so it wasn't quite too toasty yet. Also, there was a bit of a breeze.
I'll be out there later today, but hopefully there will be some shade. It definitely gets hot, but a little shade makes a huge difference. o.o

comedy troupe + fursuits = AWESOME.
Is your troupe on youtube or anything? I would love to hear. (:
-
Lemme see... I believe we have some things up on YouTube, yes. Lemme link you up. :)
Unfortunately, some of these are Facebook videos. I think most of them will work for everyone; if they don't, you can become my friend on Facebook. ;)
Bad Advice (http://www.facebook.com/brian.l.cook?v=app_2392950137#!/video/video.php?v=10150134043790008) -- a Facebook video showing people in a panel giving advice. I'm the only guy in it, so I'm easy to find. ^_~
Pastiege part 1 (http://www.facebook.com/brian.l.cook?v=app_2392950137#!/video/video.php?v=1424273533730) -- a group of scenes made up on the spot. I'm wearing the stripedy sweater. This video has a weird watermark and a horizontal green line that makes everything squishy. I'm not the one who put it up, so don't blame me. <.<
Pastiege part 2 (http://www.facebook.com/brian.l.cook?v=app_2392950137#!/video/video.php?v=1425379961390) -- still has the water mark, but at least it's not squishy. >.>
Stuck (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg99gkZzHow&playnext_from=TL&videos=hIGsIknzlYg) -- an advertisement for our show tonight. :D
The Rant (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ2mftZpfGE) -- probably one of my favorite games ever, and this version was a lot of fun. :)
There you go! Hopefully it gives you an idea of some of the things we do. ^_^

Hee hee! Good job finding them, and thanks!
On another note, today, I discovered that Wal-Mart is not so fursuit friendly. I was, erm... kicked out... <.<
-
Alex, Never go to WM in suit. Never. And that goes for everyone else, too. WM is just plain evil. >:( I've read too many horror stories of fursuiters or other costumed people getting kicked out or worse. If I may ask, What did they say or do to you? Were the cops called?
-
Nah, just a manager came up to me and very seriously said, "Sir, take that head off or I'm going to escort you out of here." I'm not gonna mess with management, so I took the head off. Then I felt really awkward and went back to the car to wait for my friends.
I do know a lot of the management there, so it's possible I could contact them in advance just to ask permission. However, there probably are some places that are a bit safer and better to do it, anyway. ^^;
-
that is still sad they they could not have let you stay there. you were not making trouble or bothering people.... i would love to see a furry at my walmart. then again where i work they would do the same thing... =/
-
So I was advertising for the improv show as Digby again, and a hearse honked at me.
A hearse.
... is that a good sign? :o
Looks like the Logan Arthouse and Cinema has some good plans for me, anyway. They may do a video / series of videos of Digby to advertise, some of them beating me up (apparently). It's character abuse, yes, but they think it could be effective advertising. Also, the manager is planning to do a huge mural on the side of the building of different people around the town (each person paying to get their face put up); Digby is likely to show up there, as well. :)
Anyway, it's kinda cool that, little by little, I'm starting to feel like a community celebrity. It's nothing big yet, but I love to see people wave and honk while passing on the street. :D
-
A honk from a hearse is a curse or worse,
No one should get cursed from a hearse I converse.
Unless the curse is from the hearse,
Of the famous Big Al.
Go right to the hearse and ask for a nurse,
There should be one there if the driver is not terse.
Then ask for the curse to be reversed
For the Famous Big Al.

LMTO XD

Exciting news!
I just found out that three of my poems have been accepted for publication into The Sigma Tau Delta Rectangle: Journal of Creative Writing! This is huge news for me. It's a journal that's open to a select crowd and is highly competitive.
This is the first time I've ever been published in a journal, so I'm thrilled. After next March, I'll post the poems that were accepted here. :)
-
Whee! Way to go, Alex! (:
-
Congrats Alex!! Ive always enjoyed reading your poems.
-
:D Gratz
So when you become all rich and famous, dont forget about us here (:
-
Hee hee, James. I said I published some poetry. "Rich" and "poet" don't usually go together. ^_^;;
But, anyway, thanks, guys! :)
-
"Rich" and "poet" don't usually go together. ^_^;;
Alas, such is the plight of all artists. :'(
Regardless, congrats! :)

I wanted to give an update about my life!
The improv show is going great! It's been hard to draw a consistent crowd, but we've finally established a small fan base that comes to the shows on an almost-weekly basis. Not only that, but we were recently interviewed by the local paper. The paper came out the day of a performance, and I was shocked to see so many people show up just because of that interview!
I'm the guy with the glasses making that weird phone hand thingy.
(http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p372/alexandre_de_britos/cachemagazine.jpg)
To have the front page of the entertainment section and two whole pages inside was just... amazing.
(http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p372/alexandre_de_britos/67325_10150293803300117_262350565116_15172356_1486666_n.jpg)
(if anyone cares, here's the link (http://issuu.com/cachemagazine/docs/1022_cache) to the article)
Anyway, we recently had a Halloween show, and we had over 140 people in attendance. I, of course, went as Digby.
(http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p372/alexandre_de_britos/halloweendigby.jpg)
We've been invited to perform at a Christmas dinner for the local Search and Rescue as well as at the university campus. Honestly, things are looking up for this small group of performers. :)
Besides that, school, work, and poetry is consuming my life right now. The semester's end is nigh, though, so I might have a life again in the near future. :D
-
Sweet! I'm so glad the improv is going well for you! You've poured a whole lot of yourself into it this semester, and I'm really happy it's working out so well. :)
-
Makes me sad I missed your show when I was out west... Id love to see a video of it sometime.... did you ever get one uploaded?
-
Cimarron, I believe we have some older videos up. However, someone who filmed a recent show is going to put it up this week, so I'll try to look out for that and post it here when they do so.
-
For your information, I've recently gotten into a relationship! It's actually a polyamorous relationship involving two other local furs, and we're a very open trio. It's working out really well for me, but I've kinda decided it maybe wasn't the best to start up during the last few weeks of the semester. :D
Also, I wanted to ask for some opinions. Recently, I have been thinking a lot about changing my name on the forums. Right one, I'm Alexandre, but I've been fursuiting and joining other forums as Digby (pictured in previous posts). I'm not sure if I should keep the old fursona or move on to this new one.
I dunno. Any thoughts?

If you look at my badge, you'll see that it says Shim.
http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af260/Shimansa/MFF%202010/myfirstbadge.jpg
I am Shim, but that character is Junyad Van Bloodmourne. We are not the same person, but he is my fursona. The reason I asked for the name 'Shim' on it, is because that's what everybody already knows me by ;).
Did that help at all?
-
To back up what Shim said- it's about fursona Vs. Character Vs. Yourself. It just depends on which one is more relevant or important to you.
-
I'm all for the seperation of RL vs RP so I say go with the Change. Digby is easier to spell anyway and there woud be very little difficulty with pronounciation. You'll need to change the header of this phread though, if you do. Let me make a suggestion or two:
Digby's Digs, Dig on By, New Digs, Dig it? You Dig? Deni Didi Digi.
The last one being a play on the latin phrase Veni Vidi Vici meaning; I came, I saw, I conquered.
-
Dig, diglet, dig. The big dig(to keep in line with big al), while my fursona gently digs, the great dig in the sky, life, the universe and digging, four score and eight digs ago... Okay now i'm getting silly. (:
-
Gah! There are so many things you can do with Digby, it's nuts! *dies* x.x
-
You mean *digs* not *dies*
-
Huh..Of all the things one would think you could do with Digby, I didn't actually get a hug from him :o. From his human counterpart, yes, but not Digby x_x.
-
No Liedt, he does die, but first he diggs his own grave! XD
-

The joke is in black, under this line.
Dig-trio!
-
*is still dead, guys. And I even had to dig my own dig-trio grave. Gee, thanks* x_x

*sings* If you're feeling dead i'll be your reanimator. I've got the way to bring you to life. A superior existence with no one to control you, where you can always do what you like. Let me give you some green color and you will ask for more. You will see that you never felt this way before! -Dr. Reanimator. Move your dead bones.
-
*reanimates*
:D
I know I've been gone for a while, but I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! College graduation is this Saturday, and I'll actually be a living, breathing adult! Well, maybe. <.<
At any rate, I'll be around more often. So watch out! :)
-
Yay! welcome back Alex!
*big hugs*!
-
Nice to see you back. *Hugs and scritches ears.*
-
*hugs both of you* :)
And wait... I'm still a poodle? O.o
-
*hugs both of you* :)
And wait... I'm still a poodle? O.o
:o You're still a poodle?! Wait a sec. I'll fix this. ;)
*grabs a hypodermic needle and injects Alexandre with a pink liquid*
*waits about 10 mins*
There! Now you look........uh, oh. :o Ooooops. I must've used the wrong dosage or formula. :-[ Well, at least it's close enough to what you originally had. :D
*Alex looks in the mirror and sees himself as a pink wolf now*
-
Yay! It's.... Closer! *dances*
Now all I need is, uh... To be a different species :D
-
Well, at least you're unique.........and cute. ^.^ :D
-
Well at least you're still a carnivore. *puts a bow in Alex's hair*
-
hi! well, I see now why you became a wolf X3 (lols @ kobuk)
-
*sniffles* Stop making fun of me, guys :'(
-
*hugs Alex*
Have a cookie :)
-
*sniffles* Stop making fun of me, guys :'(
Lol, wasn't trying too x3
-
Aw I'm sorry Alex.
*hugs*
-
Aww... Well, heh, fine. *hugs everyone* :)

If you drop by IRC, we could probably turn you back. :D (given the fact that we average well over 1 transformation per day)

Is it just me, or does that sound a little ominous? :o
-
Not really...
Incidentally, thats how landrav got turned into a taur

Happy B-day Alex. Congrats on making it through one more year of the insanity of these forums.
-
Thank you guys!! *passes around cake for all!* :D
-
I suppose I oughta update everyone on my life!
I kinda disappeared for a little while. Life became busy, and I felt like I was having a more difficult time getting on the forums. Life sometimes does that to people, and I know it's natural to lose waver a little bit with dedication. Sometime in January, though, it kind of became apparent that I either needed to go all in or step out of the forums for good.
And I didn't step out :)
What I really need to do is get to know more members here personally. Please, don't be afraid to add me on Skype (the messenger I use most). I have a lot of peeps there, so I might not always be available to chat; however, I love chatting with you dudes. My Skype is alexandre.de.britos.santoro
For now, have a fox cake:

-
The only problem with a cake like that, is that it seems a shame to eat it.
-
Seems perfectly natural. :D
-
*noms a slice of cake*
*nom, nom, nom*
BTW, Got milk? :D
-
No cake is good to eat! Not even, uh... this one:
(http://mikesamazingcakes.com/images/PageTop_Tiger.jpg)
Gotta eat them all :D
-
Ok, I gotta know. Who makes those animal cakes? That's some amazing decorative work. :o
-
No cake is too good to eat! Not even, uh... this one:
Gotta eat them all :D
^ This is probably what you intended to say.

Yeah, you're right x_x

The second one came from a guy named Mike (http://mikesamazingcakes.com/). His cakes are legit.
-
I want my own cake! :D

-
Alex, you became pixelated! :o What have you done!
-
I AM NOW A ROBOT. I WILL DESTROY THE WORLD AND EAT THE CAKE.
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! *noms my own Husky cake before Alex can get to it*
-
NO. DO NOT EAT THE CAKE. I MUST EAT THE CAKE BECAUSE IT IS IN MY PROGRAMMING. MY PROGRAMMING CALLS FOR WORLD DESTRUCTION AND CAKE EATING.
*FINDS ANOTHER CAKE FOR EATING*
-
<.<

*secretly gives Alex, Storm Fox's cake so Alex won't notice mine, then sneaks out the back door*
-
CAKE. CAKE. MUST DEVOUR THE CAKE AND USE THE SURPLUS ENERGY TO DESTROY THE WORLD.
*NOMS STORM FOX'S CAKE IN A ROBOT-LIKE FASHION*

*Temps Alex with Kobuk's Mountain Dew supply*

CAKE. MOUNTAIN DEW. CAKE. MOUNTAIN DEW. CAKE LACKS GREENNESS AND CAFFEINE. THUS CAKE IS INSUFFICIENT FOR WORLD CONQUEST. MUST CONSUME DEW. DEW WILL PROVIDE THE WORLD CONQUERING ENERGY NEEDED.

Heya! I just found out that I've been accepted into grad school! I'll be working towards a Master's degree in American Studies with an emphasis in Folklore. I've been going crazy without school, to tell the truth. I love studying, and I am way excited to get back in the game :)
-
Awesome!
School is a good choice. I'd certainly rather be doing that with my life than sitting in a cubicle all day.
It's way early, but do you plan to go for the Ph.D and maybe teach?
-
Yeah, the plan is a Ph.D. I think I'm a bit crazy, but I really would like to teach on a university level. I enjoy academia, so I'll keep going :)
-
Are you going to fix your avatar or not?
Hmmmm. Maybe this will help. ;)
*goes and gets some jumper cables and attaches one to each of Alex's ears, then turns on the juice* :D
And...........Voila! One pink fox! :D
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2675/3675872363_060dd555f7.jpg)
-
That... is easily the scariest fox I have ever seen. :o
It will soon become my avatar :)
-
Alexandre. More like SMELLexandre.
Where's the cake?
Iloveyou~ <3
-
Oh, you ^^;
Anyway, I'm sorry I've been somewhat gone the past week or two. I've been working on Allasso, Volume 2: Saudade (http://pinkfoxpublications.net/saudade/) for the past several months. I'm exhausted, but the wait has been worth the effort. I apologize if this feels like advertising, but feel free to check it out :)
-
Oh my holy crap, surveillance does... I hate those
-
Boop. Beep beep. Boop.
I'm back for a while. Let's see what kind of fun we can have :)
But first -- cute things. Give me cute things! Like this!
