Dear Dr. Lou: With all the elves, reindeer and idle time he’s got on his lap, do you think Santa could be a furry?
At first I thought I didn’t know what a “furry” is. I thought a quick google search would clear things up. As usual, after a few key strokes I was knee deep in info on alternative lifestyles (luckily, not 2Girls1Cup alternative.)
So I learned from wordnavigator.com that the term “Furry” is slang for:
1. A member of furry fandom.
2. An animal character with human characteristics created by members of the furry fandom, usually loosely based on existing cartoon, mythological, or fantasy characters.
Well, then I got even more confused. How can Santa be a “Furry?” Santa is a wonderful, jolly, old elf who lives in the North Pole and makes toys all year-long, then delivers them to all of the world’s children (well, the nice Christian children, at least.) He is neither an animal, a cartoon, mythological, or a fantasy character.
He’s also certainly way too busy to be a member of furry fandom. Though, maybe I’m wrong. I guess there probably are some long nights up there in the North Pole when Santa could be hanging out with a bottle of wine, writing some Fan-Fic about Snarf from the Thundercats.
