Things you don't know about Tiny and Baby. Only if you don't know cats. The moment we removed a couple of drawers from the studio bureau, the Chelsea Grays were on the case.
Egad. Our precious real-life blogfriend neo has "tagged" us -- in the august company of Alexandra, Shrinkwrapped, Dr. Sanity and Varifrank -- for a meme, "five things you don't know about me." "Don't feel you have to do it, of course," emails neo, leaving us with a quandary. Blogsweetheart Teresa tagged us a coupla months back, and we just said no. Our style of blogging depends upon inspiration. Deus ex machina ain't our style. Or is it?
Things "you don't know about me" you don't want to know. We're of the school of playing our cards close to the chest, and, to mix metaphors, showing a bit of ankle from time to time to keep 'em guessing and begging for more. And yet, and yet, here we are blogging in response to neo's "unexpected, artificial, or improbable character, device, or event introduced suddenly" that "provides a sudden and unexpected solution to a difficulty," that difficulty being the ever looming blogger's block. The topics on deck, waiting for a unifying theme this day:
1. Fear and loathing of dogs and drams.
2. Fear and loathing of free pork [These folks should talk to Nancy Pelosi & Company].
Two out of three were the usual suspects, hysterical muslims determined to take us city-upon-a-hill types insidiously back to the stone age of Sharia law, with women firmly jackbooted into their place. The third item, fear and loathing of accountability, lies squarely upon the shoulders of the so-called media elites, who surely know how to dish it out but can't bear to take it. Transparency is where it's at, guys.
Update: Carnival of the Cats #146 at Leslie's Omnibus is where the fur is.
The people of the USA are so fortunate to have bloggers such as the group of which you are a recognized member to bring before us the truth of Human Nature and the weakness and fallibility of liberal thinking.

Sam and Tim discovered the padded arms of my desk chair whilst locked in my office on cleaning day. Needless to say - they have been chewed some now! They will do the least expected thing regularly! Perhaps that's why they are so very fascinating!

The media types who don't want to be held accountable are joined in greater number by the tenured idiots of academia who feel they are immune from criticism and take massive exception to anything that mildly resembles same. Just check out some of the academics at Duke who immediately assumed a "guilty until proven innocent" attitude toward the three victims (Reade, Seligmann and Evans)before any facts (or DNA results) were really in.

Nice one Sisu! Just got back from hols, will have to think hard about this one, although your two out of five on the hysterical Muslims suits me just fine for all five...but er, that's hardly a secret for me I guess.
