<a href="http://beesbuzz.biz/art/characters/mage ... magenta</a> was, and so was <a href="http://beesbuzz.biz/art/characters/trik ... rikuare</a> (sorta). But <a href="http://beesbuzz.biz/art/characters/fluf ... >fluffy</a> is not a porcupine, but a generic cartoony thing that I call a "fluffy."

Also the last thing I want to be associated with is the furry fandom. Unless in an obviously ironic capacity.

Just an observation -

It seems folks don't understand the parameters around your request. Thus they are making suggestions that impose on the restrictions you have yet to fully outline. Don't assume people know intimately your designs around the now-extinct fluffy/trikuare/porcupine/plaid constructs and accept that you may have a somewhat eccentric slant on self-identity (which is a good thing, btw, and don't we all, anyway?).

I had a roommate once who would initiate the following kind of dialog:

him: "what do you want to eat for dinner?"
me: "I feel like thai. What do you feel like?"
him: "no, I had thai yesterday for lunch"
me: "Indian"
him: "I'm so sick of indian these days"
me: "fish and rice"
him: "I need something lighter"
me: "arugula and fennel salad with blood oranges"
him: "that's so much roughage"
me: "TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO EAT!"

That wasn't in response to any of the suggestions so much as Craig's question about what fluffy is. I don't expect an instant perfect answer or anything, I just like brainstorming.

OK, just seemed confusing when you were once Fluffy Porcupine, and you say Fluffy was never a porcupine...never mind, I get it now. See? I've known you a long time and never quite...so we can't read everything in blogs, you know.

BTW, what's the rug Fluffy is walking on?

Fluffy P? (or did someone already say this?)

Fluffified?

I don't get it...why don't you just go as 'Fluffy'.

It'd be cool like the whole shortening stuff that P. Diddy. did.
