I don’t understand the words that are coming out of your mouth.

Picture them coming from Mr. Ed.

What a weekend this has been since Friday!

Next weekend, I'm going to be hanging out with a friend in St. Louis who will be helping me make a Duct Tape Dummy. This helps the maker know the dimensions of my body so that the fursuit will fit properly. Sort of like how HOFers have to get measurements for the gold jacket and bust.

Are you sure this is a friend? "Duct Tape Dummy" sounds a bit like "Snipe Hunting", but with a flagpole involved.

Yes, I'm sure of it. It's a standard procedure in the fandom to make a Duct Tape Dummy to help make sure the fursuit fits properly.

I'm just goofin' around, Todd. But honestly, if they can make a tailored suit from measurements, I don't know why they can't use them for this.......Oh wait, it's....................No, never mind.

I know you are lol. The thing is most makers aren't in the same town. My fursuit maker is in the Pacific Northwest, and I live in Kansas City. So this helps the maker to be able to see exactly how my body is and how to make the suit be able to fit me properly.

.i'll come up with some jokes later for hazing purposes...kind of a new genre for me

A little horsing around never hurt anybody.

Got my Duct Tape Dummy made this weekend in St. Louis with the help of a friend of mine, and it's on it's way to my fursuit maker in Idaho.

I don't understand this at all, but think it's pretty awesome.

It's taking a long time, but I guess it's hard to find just the right horse, kill it, skin it, bleach the skull, then see it all together.

Lol, that's not how it works at all. Fursuit making is a lengthy process. The base for the head has to be made, and then lots of sewing of the faux fur, hot glue for the parts needing that, and lots of foam.

No, I watched a YouTube video on it. They just tell you what you want to hear, then they go on a murderous rampage, looking for the perfect sized animal to match your dimensions.

Just as an example

But you can't see hooves, so they have to cut some poor horse's feet off. Place your bets on a different one to win.
