Ummmm -- at least until the SBB collectively ODs on *cute*. Fat chance -- they're made of sterner stuff. After all, neither Barb, nor BCR, nor FbL have swooned over *me* since -- uhhhh -- since -- errr -- [sound of 120 watt incandescent bulb bursting into illumination] -- well, since they ackshully *met* me. [Time to drag that pic out of the darkness! - the Armorer] Hmmmmmpf.

Something left over from John's D&D days.

BCR - Dearth of everything. Caused by an excess of Honeydew List because KtLW decided she (meaning *me*) needed to get the place looking like its usual rain-forest-self (and the temps here have been hoovering at 50F) for a fundraiser. On 5 May, naturally... What're you doing in the Dungeon, Mags -- catering ry's lunch or Bergering his collection of colorized NatLamps? FuzzyBee - See my reply to jimmmyb and add a persnickety ISP to the list. Hiya, MAWK! [extending large, fluffy pillow and executing a flawless diving catch] - I'm just as lovable in person as in electrons.

And those blue, blue eyes! Yup - the cute thing is still working.

Or having furry animals trot behind me. At my age, Mags, I'll take any attention I can get -- except from stuff travelling at 2800fps... ...is this then Non-Friday Non-Catblogging? Nope. Friday's just a handy part of the title, and Non-Friday Non-Catblogging is so -- so -- [head thrown back with arm upraised, back-of-the-hand pressed firmly to forehead in "horrors-galore" pose] incredibly *negative*, ya know? Which is my plausibly-deniable cover story for losing Thursday of the first week of April and then having it jump into last week. Firkin short-term memory thing... Boq -- "She." Nope -- Gaby doesn't get near anything decorative or poisonous (see "Leashes work both ways"). And if I let her swallow any of the stuff she samples, she'd *look* like a Belgian block by now. Or a doormat... ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/04/friday_noncat_b_1.html#comment-59464 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/04/friday_noncat_b_1.html#comment-59464 Thu, 26 Apr 2007 09:42:54 -0600 Lesson No: 7 - As countless armies can attest: A Belgian Block is a contradiction in terms. It however, makes a great Doormat to trample on as you transit towards tastier grounds in Western Europe.
