LOL, thanks Alison. Odd, isn't it?

OT: I know you hate memes, and you don't have to do anything for this, but I nominated you for the "Thinking Blogger" award last week. I swear, you don't have to do anything.

Damn, that's right - this was the Cons official Accountability Week.
What a scream!

I think you should do this as a regular feature.

OK, JJ?
You lost me at "I know you hate memes... but..."

So I'm going to take you at your word and not do anything - no way I'm going near that link.

And thank you muchly, darlin', for the honour.
