August 16, 2004 - 11:23 PMHello World! CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and CSI: Miami are both generally serious shows, but every once in a while you get that odd episode that's just, well, odd. Take CSI's "Fur and Loathing," which was just rerun this past Thursday.
The episode, for those of you who haven't seen it, revolves around the murder of a man in a racoon suit. He's traced back to a "plushies" convention, a gathering of people who like dressing up as animals and, for a lack of a better term, frolicking. The plushies attend lectures, walk the runway in a fashion show, and get close in a big cuddle pile.
A quick search of Google reveals that the concept of plushies didn't come from writer Jerry Stahl's mind. Plushies are apparently categorized on Yahoo! in the Sexual Fetish directory.
It just goes to show you learn something everyday. After all, we often see tidbits like this in episodes of CSI and Miami. Before watching Miami, I didn't know people went to clubs to eat special ants or honey. Prior to seeing CSI's fourth season finale, I'd never heard of the term "chimera" outside of mythology. I had no idea it was a medical term as well. It's all part of what make these shows so much fun--the writers really do their homework.

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday to CSI creator and CSI: New York showrunner Anthony E. Zuiker, who turns 36 on August 17th! Today's Television Listings Tonight, CBS will air CSI: Miami's "Extreme". Here is TV Guide's description of the episode:
A young woman is thrown over the railing of a parking garage, but the investigation into her death uncovers evidence that she was killed before the fall and had likely been kidnapped. Back at the lab, Delko gets into trouble when he inadvertently interferes with a case after stumbling across a car-theft ring.
On Thursday, CBS will show the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode "Invisible Evidence". Here is what TV Guide writes about the episode:
Warrick is blindsided in court when a bloody knife he recovered from a suspected killer's car is determined to be inadmissible, leaving the CSIs only 24 hours to find new evidence before the accused murderer is set free.
