    It has been brought to my attention that my posts have been a bit monochromatic. We here at Manly Monday/Fur Friday of course strive to bring you the full United Colors of Benneton ad experience less the women and savage depilatory regimen of the ’90s/’00s.

    This brings us to today’s Fur Friday choice. Another site I frequent usually has a roundup of attractive fellows on the Instagrams at the bottom of their daily links and a photo of these two fellows caught my attention for both their scruffiness and their interesting use of fur in winter apparel.

    What I didn’t realize until I clicked through their respective instagrams is that they are married (and an adorable one at that). Who are promoting wholesome family values. I’ll let Midnighter express how I feel about these pics in panels three and four.

    Also there’s some great great otteriness going on in some of these pics and perfectly on-point beards in others.

    I know most of you want me to get back to nothing but (NSFW) sexy otters for Fur Fridays, but beloved commenter Pope Jimbo sent in a story that I just couldn’t pass up: Unsuspecting Woman Brings Therapy Dog to Local Furry Convention.

    Before last weekend, Cheryl Wassus had no idea what a “furry” was. So naturally, when the Motor City Furry Convention chose Pets for Vets (a nonprofit that pairs dogs with military veterans) as its charity of choice, she assumed that she and Link, her one-year-old Bernese mountain dog, would be spending the day at an animal event. She wasn’t wrong, necessarily — it’s just that the animals were maybe slightly more anthropomorphized than she had envisioned.

    Seriously though click through and read the whole interview, it’s charming as all get out. Also the Dog’s name is “Link” and there’s a Legend of Zelda shield in there.

    In a world run by animals, It’ll take more than a man to survive.

    Florida Man accidentally set me on a disastrous quest last night, dear reader; a disastrous quest to find a furry spoof of Mad Max Fury Road. The disaster came about because he misremembered the title and set me looking on Amazon and Google for “Furry Road” and have since had to raze my internet identity to the ground and start fresh as Ásbjӧrn Bernhard of Oshkosh, WI. I have also learned important lessons about using the term furry in GIS with safe search disabled.

    After letting me twist in the wind for a bit, FM found the correct name for the movie Furry Fury and let me know it was only six minutes long. Back to Amazon, more searching for furry-related content, and I’m settling in for six minutes of the worst cinema I’ve seen in a long time… possibly since I saw Battlefield Earth in theaters, which has a 3% on Rotten Tomatoes. That said, at only six minutes, I didn’t come away feeling cheated for time, though certainly this movie lacked the muzzled post-apocalyptic Tom Hardy which made Fury Road watchable. We live in an era where even fan films can have a significant amount of polish; Furry Fury feels like an intentional nostalgia trip to low-budget ’80s movies. Every element of it is poorly executed and somehow that works as an homage to the B-movies of yesteryear. I’m sure Gojira would love this film were he not so triggered by furries (and homemade ice cream, but that’s a tale for another time).

    The plot is elegant: Wolf encounters the feline Furryosa in some post-apocalyptic ruins while she is running away from a gang comprised of Bear, Dog, and Kangareau (with puppet joey) and must battle to save her. The action is delightfully gory in classic B-movie style, and the cuts and edits are painfully obvious. There is no yiffing and the film is entirely safe for work (although if your coworkers catch you watching a movie with entirely furry actors they may judge you).

    Once upon a time I was visiting the Andong Hahoe Folk Village (안동 하회마을) in Korea. One of the interesting features is a garden full of carved tree stumps in phallic figures. Now dicks have been a good luck charm in cultures the world over. Or at least as a decorative embellishment (see picture to the right). Often dick art is whimsical and Andong is no exception.

    Other Korean towns have tales to explain their dick-totems. But unfortunately I don’t know if Hahoe Village does or if it’s just a fun way to pass the time when you have a bunch of tree stumps around. I’ve included a few examples below. So about now you might be wondering why this is showing up in Fur Fridays, no?

    Female tree with penis knees

    The short version is that I’d planned on doing a Fir Fridays joke and post a bunch of trees (maybe some upskirt shots), but I realized that that probably wouldn’t be that entertaining, then got distracted by a McSweeny’s column about romantic entanglements with a sycamore tree, and then realized I had pictures of me stroking a giant wooden dick carved for good luck, so here we are…reminiscing about that time I walked a dick forest in a historical village outside a small town in The Republic of Korea.

    And of course, for those of you with less…ecumenical tastes in wooden genitals, here’s a thing I found when searching for sexy lumberjack pictures (safe for work, but you might get funny looks).

    So looking for fodder for other Fur Friday posts I ended up on PETA’s Instagram feed. Mostly because I was looking for a Creative Commons license variant of their Bare Skin not Bear Skin featuring New BSG’s Jamie Bamber which makes me feel funny in my bikini zone. PETA regardless of your opinion (which I assume is quite strong whatever it is, dear Glibertarians) is REALLY good at drawing eyeballs to their cause particularly with barely covered ladies and clever plays on expectations. I will spare you an in-line link to a video where a ginger lass with pert tits is interspliced liberally with cows being inseminated by a very long metal rod (don’t get play and you’ll get all you need from it).

    What really surprised me was how often people dressed in )not high enough quality to really be) fursuits shows up on their instagram feed

    For instance, Pam Anderson and her friends wearing animal costumes reminiscent of uncanny vintage Halloween costumes:

    Although some of them clearly put in more effort than others:

    And they’ve even had a celebrity pose for something for Mr. Lizard:

    And with that, I hope you all have a good weekend. Oh and just in case next week HM takes the day over for Fetish Fridays, I’ll give you all a soft transition

    He didn’t even have to shave this morning

    This week saw the sale of furry bit of history at auction: a glass disc containing a sample of Dr. Alexander Fleming’s original penicillin.The final sale was $14,600, which seems astonishing considering Fleming was a shameless self promoter. According to the AP:

    The Scottish-born doctor likely made at least dozens of such mold mementos, derived from his original sample of the fungus.

    and

    [Matthew Haley, director of books and manuscripts at the auction house Bonham’s,] noted that other bits of mold were given to Pope Pius XII, Winston Churchill and Marlene Dietrich, perhaps in an effort to cement Fleming’s legacy as the discoverer of penicillin in 1928.

    Sounds a bit like splinters of the one true cross for the modern age. Hats off to the hairy scientific discovery that ushered in a new age of medicine and all that.

    Example of a Fleming mold disc with usage rights we could afford.

     

    I know you’re all disappointed that this link isn’t full of naked otters (work unfriendly) or something like that.

    A decade before her father became POTUS, Ivanka hit the town wearing an extended chinchilla family and Jezebel noticed (click through for some vintage Jezebel comments). More recently The Daily Mail tells us that PETA blasted her for using real rabbit fur for the pom-pom on a cable knit cap available for $22.97 at Nordstrom Rack (originally $45 at Nordstrom’s non-outlet locations). The Daily Mail also notes:

    Fur may be murder but it looks warm

    And while this particular piece does feature a ‘genuine rabbit fur’ pompom, the vast majority of Ivanka’s line is made with animal-friendly faux fur.

    Well at least there’s that!

    Who wore it best?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Congrats everyone you survived the inaugural Fur Friday! Come back next week for scantily clad PETA models, furries, bears or pictures of me doing barely-dressed mold remediation. The possibilities are ENDLESS.
