Thread drift is inevitable

Well, my 5 year old daughter is trying to make a Fancy Nancy friendship bracelet out of threads as we speak...

Cool, can we see it when she's done?

We published Friendship Bracelets in 1996. Thirteen years and 2.3 million copies later, it has clearly established itself as a Klutz classic. A best-selling classic, in fact.

It's a hard act to follow only a fool would even attempt it. So, of course, we couldn't resist. Introducing Fancy Friendship Bracelets, the original Friendship Bracelet's new best friend. We started with super-simple instructions for a flock of all-new bracelet designs. We added five different colors of cord and more than 200 sparkling beads. Then we threw in some stylish charms for good measure.

The result is even better than we hoped. Fans of the first book will love this new one. With the how-to know-how of Anne Akers Johnson, the sparkle of beads and charms, and the novelty of all-new bracelet designs, Fancy Friendship Bracelets compliments the original book without duplicating it. So we're keeping both books in print. This is the start of a beautiful friendship.

Thread drift is not only inevitable - it is desirable. It turns the discussion into an organic entity where sub-threads emerge, intertwine and reconnect as the thread progresses. Two or even more sub dicussions may happily coexist within the main body of the topic and people can reply, quote from or ignore any posts that they so choose. To refuse to tolerate 'thread drift' is to hold a dinner party and confine the topic of conversation to one subject alone. Anyone who chooses can always pull a thread back on topic by making a salient point worth responding to. If they can't do that then in all likelyhood the original question has been well and truly thrashed already - so let the thread gambol on where it may - a joyous entity reveling in it's freedom.

This post is off topic. I request that it be moved.

Differing approaches to sexuality have been a source of controversy and conflict in furry fandom.

White out!

(It somehow turned up in the Close. I swear I didn't put it there. Honest!)

The Close is hungry for posts.... it's learned to hunt. And now that it has the taste of Gen Disc. posts and knows how easy it is to get them, there will be no way to stop it!

Norton blocked a malware attempt when I clicked on Hue's... raccoon(?) with boobs.

What were you lookin' for by clicking on that picture, mister sir?

Post by **Fist and Faith** » Sun Feb 27, 2011 3:51 am

Well, yeah, I thought maybe that red top would come off.

Actually, I was wondering what the picture was called. I can't think of anything from TCTC that it fits.

Hue's images of boobs are good...

Post by **peter** » Sun Feb 27, 2011 11:20 am

Hell - at Hue's age Hue's boobs are good!
(Damn it - why is therianthropy so sexy. Thats just wrong!

)

I thought it was a Starfox character. And that's just a normal imageshack link, so not sure what's up with the malware thing, Fist. (I haven't clicked, in any case.)

Post by **Fist and Faith** » Sun Feb 27, 2011 1:00 pm

Yeah, I'm confused, too. Unless it was an unrelated intrusion attempt that coincidentally happened at the same time.

Well, I have just clicked on the pic and got through aok.

The title of the pic is Infelice metamorphs into Krystal (of Starfox fame and pinup girl(?) for furries and game addicts)

Thanks for all the nice comments about my boobs, however, I feel that my legs are my best feature. There hangs another story
