2. Where does this fall on the yiffy spectrum?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[mtnester]

3. They are just yiffy

filled with Yif!

[Starry Messenger]

4. Vibrating, squeaking yif!

Yiffarific!

[TZ]

5. We need to buy a bunch for both Creekdog and Flvegan

I *know* that both of them will ADORE them....Who wouldn't want a vibrating squeaking ball of fur after all (unless they are Klingons in disguise of course) :rofl:

[TZ]

7. dupe

[Debi]

8. They're Yifftastic!

[Dr. Strange]

11. No they don't.

[Starry Messenger]

12. Maybe you need your YQ adjusted?

Don't get your fur in a knot!

[Dr. Strange]

14. Yes, mammal!

[LostinVA]

18. If you have to ask...

It VIBRATES.

[flvegan]

21. Which is why you have 3 of them. One regular, one with a turbo

and one with a kickstart.

[LostinVA]

32. YOU PROMISED NOT TO TELL!

And, it's a TDI Tribble, NOT one with a kickstart. That would be just sick.

[Starry Messenger]

24. And squeaks!

Are we sure this is cruelty free?

[Debi]

25. Why does it need to squeak?

:shrug:

[Starry Messenger]

26. To yelp "yif"!

or so I am told...

[LostinVA]

33. These are organic Tribbles

Raised on a farm in the Berkshires.

[flvegan]

6. Um...from the link at amazon

How interesting.

[Debi]

9. What button do we push to rec a post w/in a thread?

:bounce:

[Starry Messenger]

10. Grainger is where I got my shop vac.

Who knew they were also purveyors of yif?

[flvegan]

13. You're saying they sell items that vibrate and items that suck?

Something for both sexes, I suppose. Pervert.

NOTE TO EVERYONE: Don't borrow SM's vac.

[Starry Messenger]

15. I just changed the filters!

It's a wet vac and dry vac.


Wait. That sounds wrong too. :cry:

[Debi]

16. Hahahahahaha!

But can it vacuum pet hair?

[Starry Messenger]

17. But of course!

Both real *and* faux fur. :evilgrin:

[flvegan]

19. Do you groom your furry costume with it?

[Starry Messenger]

22. NO!

That's what the Flowbee is for.



The shop vac is for clean up.

[Debi]

23. What else would it be for?

:shrug:

[flvegan]

27. He bought it from a place that also sells vibrators.

I assume it's "modified" for personal satisfaction.

[TZ]

20. Ah a Yifvac.

How handy.:evilgrin:

[Starry Messenger]

28. It has many attachments!

You can get into all kinds of crevices.

[LostinVA]

37. furred for her

pleasure.

[LostinVA]

36. omfg

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

35. Is it a HEPA filter?

Tribbles are furry.

[Starry Messenger]

45. That's what happens when I fall asleep in the middle of a thread.

D'oh! My sinus headache is finally gone though. I think I'm allergic to rayon fur!

[LostinVA]

34. omfg

[Hell Hath No Fury]

29. I have three of them!

My Mom got them for me from that Vegas Star Trek themed hotel years ago. :D I have to say they are very cute. My old pet pigeon used to do his "Dance of Love" for one of them and bring it rubber bands and bits of wire as love offerings.

[flvegan]

31. That pigeon story is kind of cute.

[nolabear]

41. Now I'll bet that was a sight to see. I had a Dobermann Pinscher who thought

our guinea pig was her puppy, but that's an even more strange and wonderful relationship.

[trof]

30. I prefer Triffids.

Initial outbreaks and exploitation

The first documented triffid outbreaks occur in Indochina, where they receive little press attention, until triffids begin appearing in Sumatra, Borneo, Belgian Congo, Colombia, Brazil and other equatorial regions. Although they develop faster in tropical regions, triffids soon begin establishing themselves in many regions outside the polar and desert regions. Once it is discovered that triffids are predatory creatures, they are culled in large numbers and almost exterminated until it is discovered that they are also the source of the valuable oil. Once it is established that docking their stingers renders them harmless, with docked triffids soon becoming fashionable in public and private gardens. As it takes triffids two years to fully regrow their stings, captive triffids are pruned every year. Triffid farms are built in order to produce triffid oil, which is of greater quality when taken from undocked specimens.<2>
During and after the Great Blinding

After a large part of the Earth's human population is rendered blind by a brightly coloured comet shower, triffids begin escaping confinement and easily kill large numbers of blinded people. They soon overrun mainland Europe and the British Isles, thus forcing the majority of survivors to escape to the Isle of Wight and other islands. In The Night of the Triffids, set 25 years after the events of Day, triffids in the British Isles are still valued as energy and food sources.<3> Due to a yearly purge Triffids remain absent in the Isle of Wight, until they are transported there by large floating mats of debris and vegetation. Triffids also become more aggressive, as a comet shower has blotted out the sun and thus necessitates them to increase their nutritional intake. In North America, triffids begin evolving new shapes and behaviours: standard triffids develop a form of echolocation<4>, swamp-dwelling triffids become fully aquatic<5> and a small number of super-sized triffids attack New York<6>. Members of the Algonquin tribe manage to escape attack due to their immunity to triffid venom.<7> By the end of the novel, it is revealed that due to their constant exposure to small doses of triffid venom present in their food, a quarter of the inhabitants of the Isle of Wight are immune to triffid venom, thus inciting them to move back into the British mainland.<8>
