BlazerRaccoon's furry den

Okay, got a few people interested in the camping trip, EagleBeagle, Tilt, SK-1.....I need you guys to let me know what days will work best for you. I can personally do any days during august, I want to make this convenient for you guys- so, Weekend? During the week? let me know. I'm thinking I'd like to do three days and two nights (two night rental) on the camp site) so for example, if you guys wanted to do a weekend meet, we'd be looking at meeting up friday afternoon (check in is 1pm) and breaking camp sunday morning (check out is 11am) and we could run around saint pete sunday aftternoon/evening till everybody has to go home.

Opinions?

I'm tentatively planning a beachfront camping trip to Fort Desoto (south Pinellas County) in August sometime, and I need to get an idea of who would be interested in going, and what dates you would prefer.

Ft Desoto is a state park located on an island chain off the southern tip of Saint Petersburg...it has repeatedly been voted one of the best beaches in the country, it has a general store, shower/bathroom ammenities, miles of wandering space, both woodland and beach, and a 19th century stone military fort that is entirely open for public exploration (including battlements and pillbox bunkers, complete with cannon...
http://www.pinellascounty.org/park/05_Ft_DeSoto.htm
camp rental is $35-$40 a night, and Fort Desoto IS FURSUIT FRIENDLY! There is also tons of stuff to do within short driving distance in saint pete, museums, top-notch gourmet restaurants, excellent high-end (and bargain) shopping, and general sighteeing awesomeness (anyone want to see the house Jack Kerouak died in, or a 100 year old hotel that looks like a pink wedding cake?)

You'll need to bring a tent or hook up with someone to share, other than that we'll be dining out or campfire cooking communal meals (all chip in for the cost) Plushies are welcome, fursuits are welcome, weirdness is welcome, drama is NOT welcome :/

so who's interested in going, and when?
(Michel Mephit, Jimmy Bunny, Tilt, Kellogg Collie, yer first priority!)

Just got a spare of "mama bear" from the Dakin Elegant 3 bears set I already have...

I did a quick nip & tuck to improve the look of her face, here's a before & after:

here is what she looked like before-


Here's after-


full body shot of what a teddy bear should really look like-


Yeah....Yeah....I think she's going to spend the night in my arms, getting the hell hugged out of her :)

Seriously....What the FUCK is it with dumb White trash/niggers/cabbage pickers who feel the need to stockpile fireworks so that they can continue to LIGHT THE DAMN THINGS OFF FOR 3 WEEKS AFTER the proscribed holday is done with.....is it that fascinating and mesmorizing?!?!?!!?
SERIOUSLY??!?!!??!?

I assert again, anyone with an IQ below 80 should be euthanized, anyone with a gross income below $20k should be verboten to reproduce. No apologies, if I had nukes I'd kill everyone.

Okay, maybe not but I'd kill you for 8 hours of sleep.

THE ANGRY F*CKING BEAR, Blazer/Blackmoon

sometimes it's best to distance one's self from a friend...I don't necessarily mean completely or permanently, but sometimes I realize that I am putting far more emotional effort into a 'friendship' than is being reciprocated. I'm at the point where I'm tired of being the only one talking, the only one intitating contact, the only one expressing interest, the only one expressing concern.
MY LIFE IS HARD AS WELL, and I'd like to know that my feelings matter sometimes, so I'm going to back off from certain furs, and just stay silent.....if they value me as a friend, they can intitiate a conversation and I'll be happy to talk...and other than that I'll just stay silent....All the same to me at this point.

10 days to panda....I can't wait :)

got the materials for the gold bear turned in to the jewelry department at PTEC, now I have but to wait patiently.....

EPA refridgerant certification test on Wed. , a real bitch, 100 questions, must get at least an 85% to pass (and must pass all four sections, if I fail one section I have to take the whole test over again, cost- $70 per try) we were just given the source manual today...... yeah, no pressure though :/

probably going to have to skip Megaplex...a real bummer, but since my room dropped out,and no likely candidate on the horizon, looks like it won't be economically justifiable for me to go-
time off from work+ con costs + $1600 panda + miata reconditioning project.....money is best spent elsewhere.

However, I promise that 2010 will be a truly hedonistic year, full of furry cons, illegal sex,inappropriately loved plushies, booze, and so much time spent with my friends they'll get sick of me and call a cab....promise.

hello all, posting from my mobil,so scuze the lack of caps,ect....
i'm planning to experiment with a bottle of recently legalized *real* absinth but since i can't 'try out' different brands randomly (it costs 50 dollars a bottle and up) i need some advice from any furs out there who have partaken of the 'leuche'.....

1- what brand do you reccommend (highest strength of wormwood extract)

2-what's a good starting dose (enough to get good hallucinatory effect without overdosing)

i'll be researching this on lycaeum.com anyway, but thought some 1 on 1 input would be good

thanks and hugs kids!

AH, now I remember what sucks about Florida.....The winters are fabulous, but per the inescapable laws of "BundyNomics" you must pay for on-the-beach winters with absolutely miserable summers that are hotter than the backside of satan's ballsack....
the temp today (at seaside, add another 5 degrees for inland) is 94 degrees farenheit, with a relative humidity of 92 percent (yet no rain, wrap your f*cking brain around that one!)
HEAT INDEX: 110 DEGREES!

oh, and just so I don't forget about god's wrath, he sent the first of our own special brand of locust....the "Southern Yellow Lubber"

Just in case you're impressed with this little seed of satan, it's worth a note that the example in the picture IS A JUVENILE. yah, he'll be 3 times bigger when full grown (4 full inches long) one of these can strip half your yard, and because they are poisonous they have no natural predators.....YAY!

can I have some F*CXKING snow now??!?!??!!!

I'm gathering up materials for a unique project, or rather one that I am handing off to the jewelry design class at PTEC. I have a sizeable pile of scrap gold (about 300g), the little bear figurine you can see in front of the pile will be used as a die to make the mold for a gold bear fetish, wich will be 2 1/4 inches long, and solid gold all the way through.



I know it's beyond extravagant, but it feels like a fitting way to pay homage to my wondeful bears :)

got all his leaks sealed, and everything touched up, here he is, totally finished

the work was worth it...unlike almost all my bear inflates, which tend to be either extremely toony, or extremely realistic, this guy is very teddy bear-like, even though he is a bit chintzy....I like him :)

So, I just officially secured my hansa giant panda, my objective for selling all those inflatables and dealing with all the insanity....

Deposit: $803.00 (PAID)
Balance: $803.00 (due on delivery, mid July)

according to the maufacturer specs, he sits 48 inches high (from butt to ears) but I am told by the shop owner I'm ordering him through that he's bigger than that...."huge" was the word she used :)
here's the catalog page for him:
http://www.hansatoysusa.com/public_catalog/product_detail.php/pid=957~subid=6/index.html

Yes...I am bragging...shamelessly. No apologies, because he's really awesome, and when I get him I won't shut up about him. Be forwarned. :P

before-


after-


I still have work to do on him, his nose/mouth are still pretty rough (have to hit that with a much smaller brush) figure out what to do with the circular scar on his chest where the stupid egg used to be (maybe a heart over it, or a pocket?) and of course the obligatory pinhole leaks in the hand seamed parts.

Just got a new tail grafted on to my soon to be ex-bunny,
before:


After:


now I'm working on a set of bear ears, soon as that's done I'll snick off the bunny ears and replace them, then the last step is making a 3-d muzzle. hopefully I'll have all that done in a few hours, though I'll probably wait till tuesday to paint the nose and mouth on the muzzle

well, the inflatable auctions are winding down, just listed the next-to-last round of auctions, literally, after this, there's nothing left to sell (that I can bring myself to part with)....which brings me to my subject du-jour, this easter bunny, which I was almost going to list, but something just wouldn't let me part with him....I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but then I had a flash of brilliance, now I know what it was...

he'd make a really great (and relatively easy) conversion into a polar bear!


Just replace the bunny ears (they are separate air chambers) with some nice round bear ears, a nice 3-d bear muzzle, and a tail (there never was a buuny tail to start with)

I wil of course post pix once he is complete :)

Just a quick update, I have officially completed the first half of my schooling (the first semester ended tuesday, the second begins on thursday. All tests passed with 90% or better, now I just need to worry about being a friggin rocket scientist through the field tests we'll be subjected to in the upcoming semester. Wish me luck :/

My venerable charity "the Fund to Buy a Ridiculously Expensive Panda" is now currently at $2500.00, with two more auction rounds to go.....I hope to break $3K, in any event, my monster sized hansa panda is already pre-ordered, with more than enough ++++plenty++...++....to buy a couple of the lifesized jets pandas.

Go mee :)

Guess I better ho these out, a couple of the really good inflates i have up for auction aren't getting enough views, and that's scaring me....here's what's up for sale-

http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/tbearhouse_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ

All proceeds go to the awesome charity "The BlackMoon Foundation to buy a really expensive Hansa Panda"

-FIN

Fail: Some epic loser robbed a Subway near PTEC, they put the whole school on lockdown (that's doors locked, and all the lights turned off, no one can talk, or leave the room) FOR 2 F*CKING HOURS!!!!! loss of almost half a days class time, and I had to piss like a racehorse by the time they let us out >:( F*ck you, selfish crackhead....you win $50 and 5 years in prison sex hell.

Win: My mighty little Magnolia tree had it's firt bloom ever, it looks weird since the bloom is 4 inches across (half-opened) and the whole tree is only 3 feet tall, but i thought it was worth a photo:



OMFG: I bought a Lou Rankin "Fairbanks" polar bear, the 4 foot tall size, paid much less than issue price for him, but since he was shipped from Australia he had to be shipped unstuffed, and he needed a light clean as well, it was a bit of work, but well worth it, he's amazing....his expression says it all, and he's an accomplished cuddler :)



Maniana, kids....

Hi Kidz....

I just wanted to prove I haven't died from alcohol poisoning (or jumping off a roof, or fucking some redneck's dog, ect.)

Skool iz goin' well, I'm almost halfway through, no explosions yet, auctions are still kicking ass, despite the drama *sit pops an inflatable, just to piss off the drama queens*
I'll be ordering my Hansa panda this week, and as soon as the giant Jets. inflatable panda comes available I'll be ordering two or three :)

yah, when I get my inflatable panda, I'm gonna fuck him in the from yard, on video and post it on youtube :D

shouts to all of you who know who you are....call me some time, I'm getting f*cking lonely, and I'm going to kill this imaginary llama!

NEEP!

Yeah, verily, the lourd provideth all things in abundance....

remember my last post, whence I bitched about the emotionally stunted inflatophiles that keep causing me trouble on ebay? well, manna hath rained upon me once again, this time right here on HellJay for all ya'll friends of mine to enjoy :)

first, go see his reply (and my reply to his reply) on my last entry.

now, lemme give you a back story on this, I have e-known this guy for a few years now, and yes, I liked him for the most part, I have a soft spot for overly sensitive people, and really, I'll still defend that he honestly isn't a bad guy and even after all this I don't hate him or anything, but I've always been a bit freaked out by him because he has absolutely no control over his own emotions, and he obsesses over stuff he has no control of (he chooses to torture himself over the fact that some people pop inflatables, even though he knows he can't do anything about it) He's one of those people I'm afraid of finding out has committed suicide or gone completely off the deep end, then I wind up feeling guilty because I saw it coming and couldn't stop it.

I digress...I guess all of that is why I quit talking to him a long while back, I just couldn't take his emotional instablity, it was affecting my own well being.

anyhow, here's a really demented email he sent me-

Here was my reply......



Wow, you really are seriously disturbed.....no wonder everyone has shunned you.

and about burning your teddy bear.....you know, I'm pretty zen about things like that- thousands of teddy bears get destroyed every day, there's nothing I can do about it so I don't let it bother me. I just protect the ones I own, and that makes me happy enough.

burn him if you think it will punish me in some way, it'll be your loss.

beyond that, I'd probably care what you think if you wanted to discuss this in a civil tone, and at least try to understand what I'm doing (you don't have the whole story, so you have no idea what's going on) But since it makes you feel better to curse at me, threaten me, and call me a 'peice of shit' I have no further desire to communicate with you.

All future emails from you will be deleted.

~BlazerRaccoon

It makes me feel really badly for the inflato community, because there really are some super cool people in it, but this kind of shit ruins the whole deal.

Oh, P.S., It's worth mentioning that he's been kicked off of several inflatophile user groups for just this sort of behavior.

BMB's new deal....

blackmoonbear

April 25th, 16:45 k, so I've been posting up Kimber's inflatables for awhile now, and dealing with all the creepyinsaneweirdness from the inflato community (except for a few inflatofurs who are pretty cool, and pretty sane, you know who you are so don't take this personally, I'm talking about the other 80 percent) I've been dealing with the auction saboteurs ("it's MY creation, so you can't sell it!") the beggars ( I deserve it MORE so end the auction and sell it to me for the minimum price) the mentally stunted closet child (I'll email you 3 times a day with the same question even though you have already answered it) and the guilt tripper (I've bid on the same item 50 times and always get outbid 'cause the price goes too high, so I give up *they actually email me with this*) oh, and lest I forget, the assholes who try to tack on a page question that goes something like this ...."oh, FYI, you can still get this inflate for $$$$$ dollars on the net" even though when I ask them to cough up a link, they never respond.....
at this point, I want to clear out my garage to make room for my leatherworking bench, and of course, sqeeeze out whatever remaining $$$ is sleeping in that pile of inflatable fucktoys, so here's the new precedent regarding my inflatable auctions-

I will list a given inflatable two (2) times. If at the end of the second auction no one has bid the minimum auction open price, said inflatable will be taken to Tilt's camp-out, filled with OxyAcetalyne, and ignited (with a model rocket ignition squibb) for the benefit of Youtube viewers everywhere.

Yah, kindof tired of an auction ending with no bids, only to have some toehead email me with "hey, is X item still for sale?"


Kill you all, sincerely-

THE BEAR.
