This is funny. I'll start off first.

1-someone says "Here kitty, kitty," and you spring up first
2-you refer to your hands and feet as claws and paws
3-you have growled at someone in anger
4-you purr, murr, or sqwee when you get pet or scritched
5-you own every single Redwall book in hardcover
6-you have a collection of your favorite animal figures, pictures, or plushies
7-you take a minimum wage weekend job to be furry, when you already make $50k/yr
8-you howl at the moon light and get a response from wolves
9-you find ways to slip in furry slang while no one notices
10-you grow your own winter coat

Ok... whenever I am online, I usually find myself saying "Paws" and "muzzle" and the like, just... cause. I don't really at work or anything just cause I really don't need odd looks from people on a construction site, but ...yeah.
Redwall ftw <3 only two books on my shelf right now, but I've borrowed them all from the library.
>.> lets not get into winter coats...

What is this Redwall of which you speak?  Are the books any good?  I see them described on Wikipedia as children's books -- do they have any depth at all?

I'm not a big fantasy reader, mostly because I've just never tried getting into the genre; however, I Lord of the Rings may be my all-time favorite set of books.

If you managed to actually read the LOTR trilogy (as opposed to buying the books but never reading them because of the movies) then you, sir, are a bigger fantasy reader than most.  

As for Redwall - they're a tad more formulaic than regular fantasy, but I wouldn't say they completely lack depth.  Depends what you like I guess.  I found they got horribly predictable after a couple books, but then, I feel the same about Dean R. Koontz, and he's got bestsellers falling out of his ass, so what do I know?

Redwall is basically a childrens book series about renaissance era animals. I have a particular taste for the series, and I suggest it to any that have the time to read it. Taggarung is one of my personal favorites, I own a copy. I suggest looking up the chronological order of the books and following that, if you do read them.

Okay then :)  I've actually read LotR several times and have the unabridged audio book on CDs (48 CDs, 52 hours :)

While I enjoy Koontz occasionally (older stuff mostly) I know what you mean.  As soon as I find a good used-books store around here I'll have to find and give Redwall a try.

My favorite that I got from the net a long time ago--

"You might be a furry if... Your fursuit costs more than your car!"

I'm a wolf guy, myself, however I'm kinda known for doing this weird, lizard/snakelike hiss when I get pissed...

There is a girl in my class who is reallllly fat and is a big superfur, and she always growls when classmates steal her food and shit, fucking hilarious at this age.

I like furporn but hate drama; in case you couldn't tell

I sneak in furry refrences alot,

Heh.  I lightly sprinkle my day-to-day convo with casual use of 'paws' rather than hands, 'tail' rather than ass and that kind of thing.

I have also slipped with 'yiff' when fuck or sex might have been more appropriate, but nobody seemed to notice anyway.

I find I also use figures of speech involving tails and ears more (ie. turned tail, tail between his legs, his ears pricked up, with her ears laid back...).  Similarly animal-related similies and metaphors.  The former is just me playing with furry overtones in normal settings, and the later is probably just a side effect of thinking directly and indirectly about animals so often.

On topic:

You might be a furry if,
- Whenever you hear about a new cartoon or game you look for anthro characters.
- You rolled Tauren, Kajhiit, or whatever the catpeople in EQ2 were called.
- You have ever watched Robin Hood or The Secret of NIMH on your computer, with no pretext of 'putting it on for the kids' or any such ruse.
- You have more pics of obscure, forgotten furry characters on your computer than you actual porn pics.
- When you see a coworker has an animal calander or statutte on their desk, you wonder if...
- You have ever put the name of your favourite species into napster/kazaa/etc and downloaded the songs that came up (thats the only reason I have ELO, Elton John, and Yes on my HD)
- You have ever made a yiffy tag/spray in Counter Strike/DoD/etc to have a laugh about shoving it down people's throats.
