By Trias. Normally I ignore these things, but since Trias is one of our vanishingly small Australian readership, I feel like I ought to cater to those whims...
1. Heh. Bill thinks it's weird a man of my age plays with collects dolls action figures. All I can say is - after having to lace 1/6 scale leggings on to a not-very-helpful action figure, my respect for mortuary employees who have to dress dead midgets with rigor mortis has gone up immeasurably.
2. In my age demographic and labor category I'm unusual in that I could give a flying flip about professional sports. If I watch, I prefer college. And the one sport I will actively scan the tv listings for is... the World's Strongest Man competitions. They're so silly they're amusing. I also get annoyed when the shows I like are displaced for some gladiatorial combat amongst highly paid crybabies.
3. For a person of my demonstrated proclivities - I rarely watch the History Channel or all those weapon-related shows on Discovery, etc. Not because I don't like them - but because I simply don't have the time. I'd like to watch them - but there's all that reading to catch up on, and you guys to feed on the blog. And then there's SWWBO, for some reason she seems to think she's entitled to some consideration here. Go figure.
4. Another odd thing considering my proclivities. I don't do well, apparently, with sharp objects. Which has been the subject of some hilarity around here. It should be noted that the parcel referenced in the previous photo contained... a bayonet, sent to me by Denizen Neffi... Castle Argghhh! - still Numbah One on Google for "I bayoneted myself..."
5. While *I* (nor SWWBO) think it odd, there are those who aver that having 8 cats, 2 dogs, and 2 horses is perhaps a bit greedy when it comes to valuable furs. Heh. It used to be 8 cats, 5 dogs, and 2 horses, so what's yer beef? We're cutting back.
6. Feh. There aren't six things. Well, mebbe. I like metaphorically pulling the wings off of blog-reader flies by posting the whatzis' and watching 'em scatter on the snipe hunt... see the post below this one.
Trias helpfully did not hit me with the requirement to spread the joy - so I don't have to disappoint him by exercising my usual Meme-Killing Writ and ignoring the pass-it-on requirement.
