      If the flirt is so incredibly mild she hardly notices… I guess she figures he runs the gambit between “actually sweet” and “easily ignorable”.
      Harmless is right. 😛

    Well, I guess that’s a good thing. I can be a major flirt myself, but choose not to most of the time. Can’t believe I’m that similar to a character in that manner.

      Though Joyce is unbelievable flirtacious being a Christian. Suddenly, it seems like I’m the male version of Joyce. HECK! Even guy Joyce in It’s Walky during the whole Canada saga, looks similar to me……wow, Creepy.

      I may have missed something, but where did Danny/Joe come into the mix?

      Also, somebody was talking about Danny/Roz last week. And why is Danny the first listing in all of these? He seems like he’d be the weaker in the situation.

              Furries are people, too. Just because they think it’s more fun to be an anthropomorphic animal than a human, doesn’t mean they’re bad people.

              Confusing ‘furry’ with ‘fursuiter’ is unfortunately common in the world of the label-happy internet age.

              I know several of the former who vehemently despise the latter. Personally, I just find them odd, but hey, it’s their life. Let ’em spend it sweating in a 40+ lbs. stuffed fox suit.

                It was just a comment pointing out that Wackd had used the word ‘disguising’ instead of ‘disgusting’ – an autocomplete error I’m thinking.
                15 years from now – no, 10 years hence, there will be a main character in a Disney movie who is a furry. Watch and see.

      I… don’t think you have anything to worry about, considering Danny and Joyce haven’t even talked to each other. :/

      And, uh, Dorothy just broke up with him. And is more likely to go for Walky, the way it’s headed.

      so calm down

    I find it interesting that Amber is more focused on the fact that he’s flirting with her than the fact that he’s flirting at all. Almost like she didn’t expect anyone who isn’t creepy to ever flirt with her again.

    That or she’s afraid he’ll end up being gay too.

      She doesn’t know him that well or what happened between him and Dorothy (at least I don’t think), and therefore has no reason to be surprised that he’s flirting at all.

        In one of the few times they talked, he mentioned need to not see his ex-girlfriend in everybody. That makes him even less threatening because it’s not likely he’ll jump her bones if he’s still getting over somebody.

    I gotta admit, I’m surprised at how fast Danny is supposedly getting over Dorothy… but then I you look at the fact that both are somewhat short girls whol are apparently rather smart and wear glasses. So… does Danny just have a “type” or is he trying to rebound with someone who reminds him of his ex?

    Still, either way it’s cute to see them try and flirt or just be nonthreatening.
