because "the History of Furriness" doesn't sound right.The Lion Man of Hohlenstein-Stadel, also called the Lion Woman of same because the lion-cloth covers the naughty bits but I draw your attention to the utter booblessness, is one of the oldest statues in the history of Man at roughly 30,000 years old, and the earliest evidence so far of anthropomorphism. I once read a book(really!) in which the author suggested this carving, and other works like it, were outward manifestations of the changes in brain structure that marked the emergence of imagination and abstraction. Interesting, but I think the possibility of cave-furries has been too long ignored.

ReplyDeleteFurriography?
I draw your attention to the utter booblessness
ReplyDeleteNot necessary; it is the first thing we look for.
I DISLIKE ALL FURRINERS.
ReplyDeleteFrom the days when lions walked and humans crawled.

ReplyDeleteNow ordering "The Mind in the Cave" from the library.
Spoiler alert; the chains are not actually attached to the rock.
ReplyDeleteI think it was this, but I was reading a lot of similar stuff at the time and can't be completely sure.
ReplyDeleteOooOOOooo, Mind in the Cave looks great, Riddled Book club?
ReplyDeleteThis too maybe http://www.amazon.com/Origins-History-Consciousness-Mythos-Books/dp/0691017611
ReplyDeleteI know I haven't read that. On the list it goes.
ReplyDeleteOk, waitaminute, slow down here. I don't think you academic types realize how hard we out here in Lackademia have to struggle to keep up with your books and your learnin'.
ReplyDeleteSo, are you saying that the mankind evolved from earlier primates is wrong, and homo sapiens actually evolved from big cats? 'Cause, y'know, I've never heard that. But then, it's true I haven't been paying that much attention either. I've been busy working on this theory about international relations that involves Vladamir Putin and Square Dancing, and that's been really demanding of my time.
Or are you taking the position that when humans first discovered that certain flora had psychoactive properties, the first thing they must have done is imagine themselves large feline predators, to the point where they made images of how that might have looked. Because if THATS where you're going, I'm going to have to disappoint you - Jethro Tull beat you to it by the better part of forty years...
And here, Captcha is just taunting: sukerse
..."utter booblessness" is a phrase of which I could grow quite fond
ReplyDeleteWhat, no love for lion-cloth?
ReplyDeleteMuch love for 'lion-cloth' but it triggered "Loinclothing" and distracted me.
ReplyDeleteCan't connect it - in a weird (whatever the word for onomatopoeia involving pictures rather than sounds) type of way - with certain acquaintances, but lion-cloth is nice
ReplyDelete[wv koping - but just]
Interestingly, I see the data associated with that Hunters and Collectors song download indicates that it's ?? MBs, which is perfectly reasonable when you know it's a track length of ??:?? (mm:ss) and it's sampled at a bitrate of ??Kbps. It's a simple matter to just multiply and yep, you get the same answer as they did...
ReplyDeletespingo, sez Captcha, perhaps forgetting what game we're actually playing here
"What item of clothing should I put on next?"
ReplyDelete"Dickie."

Cave furry.
ReplyDeleteShrooms, bongos, firelit cave after a good surf will do this to you, no question, for I have seen...
ReplyDeleteI see you've added those silly (By which, of course, I mean stupid & dumb-assed, but I was trying to be nice there, if only for a second.) "share" things.
ReplyDeleteSo I clicked one. Let me know if I have any "friends."

That costume is pretty well articulated.

I'd bake you a cake for your birthday, that's got to count for something, right?
Cave furry.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was Smut Clyde in his role as
Ombudsmoose.
Captcha was right about the pants.
ReplyDeleteThat is NOT going on the list. Also: frightening. Also also: elvan?
ReplyDelete"The History of Furry Dom" does not sound right either.
ReplyDeleteThe original cougar.
