it.”
    Pausing for a breather, Chris takes another drink.  One of the dancers, not Starry but an unusually tall Latin girl puts her hands on Seth’s shoulders.  “Would you like a dollar dance?” she asks him.
    “No, thank you.  I’m about to be on the receiving end of a tirade,” is his reply.  I decline the offer by shaking my head and she’s off to the next table. 
    “Yeah, that’s right mister two girls at once rock star.  What I said before about women relaxing barefoot?  I’ve also seen a girl kick off her flip-flops and lay her legs on another girl’s lap.  Just together on a sofa in between classes.  And the other girl took her friend’s feet and started to massage them.  Now to them, they’re not doing anything sexual.  But they certainly were to me.  They may as well have been going down on each other, that’s what that was to me.  And I was watching the whole thing, sitting in a chair a few feet away.  And they never realized they were giving me a live sex show.  Never knew.”     
    “I’m in a local band , Chris,” says Seth.  “I don’t bang cocktail waitresses two at a time.  But it feels good to have someone to tell this to, doesn’t it?  Not having to hide it anymore.  Knowing you have friends who accept you anyway.”  He glances at me.  I glare back.
    “You know, it actually is a bit of a relief now that it’s a secret to everybody,” says Chris.  “A weight has been lifted.” 
    “Besides, it’s not like you’re a furry,” says Seth.
    “Hey, that’s not funny,” says Chris.  “I’ve got a friend who’s a furry.”
    “You’ve got a friend who’s a furry?” I ask.
    “You’ve got a friend who’s a furry?” asks Seth.  He shoos off another request for a dollar dance.  Both dancers have asked him if he wants one before Chris and me.  That’s why he got to be Wolverine, I suppose.
    “Yeah, a friend from back home,” says Chris.  “Jimmy is his name.  He’s been a furry since back when he was little. It’s a serious problem for him.”
    “All right, let’s hear about Jimmy,” says Seth.
    “Yeah,” I say.  “Let’s hear about Jimmy.  Unless you think he’d mind.”
    “No.  Jimmy, he’d be cool with me telling the story.”  Chris takes another drink.  “You guys remember Robin Hood?  I’m talking about the Disney film version.”
    “Yeah, wh ere Robin and Marian were foxes,” I say.  “And it had the rooster who played the lyre as the narrator.”
    “No, he played the lute,” says Seth.   “A lyre is more like a harp.  But I see where this is going.  Robin Hood and furries, only one way for it to go.”
    “Yeah, it goes down that path,” says Chris.  “ But it’s even worse than what you’re thinking.  So Jimmy, when he was younger, he watched the Disney Robin Hood all the time.  Favorite movie.  Obsessed with it, even.  Now Jimmy also had this cute babysitter, Katie.  Katie lived down the street, was in high school.  It was a textbook babysitter fantasy.  You know how when you’re in junior high or high school and a friend’s got a hot mom that you fantasize about?  She’d be a MILF.  Well, to a twelve-year-old, a fifteen-year-old babysitter is the equivalent of a MILF.  Katie was Jimmy’s BILF.  Of course, he’s too young to actually want to have sex with her, so he just crushed on her, but you know, same principle at work.
    “And Katie watched Jimmy a lot.  And when she watched him, he watched Robin Hood with her, pretty much every time.  Since Jimmy was crushing on Katie, naturally he was delighted that his parents had plans to go to a costume party on Halloween and had asked Katie to take Jimmy trick-or-treating.  She accepted.  And as I said, the Disney Robin Hood was Jimmy’s favorite movie.  And as you said, Robin and Marian were foxes in it.  So naturally, Jimmy wanted to go as Robin Hood for Halloween.  But not just Robin Hood.  The anthropomorphic fox Robin Hood.
