Perhaps a little silly, childish, or whatever, but it made me smile:

This originally came to me in chain letter email form, but I thought it was better than most.

So I've decided to share it with you lot! I've tried to make it as friendly as possible - you should be able to copy and paste it into a text editor and retain the linebreaks when it is posted back.

For those who don't understand HTML, the <br> characters are the linebreaks - at the beginning of a line to make life easier.

Use your Mudcat name if you prefer, and answer only those questions you are comfortable with. Please try to resist looking at anyone else's before you post your own!!

Should make interesting reading...

Broccoli is doing quite well, isn't it? (maybe we should put in Brussels Sprouts?) Sex seems popular even if overrated, Lots of dust bunnies and stuffed animals (live or otherwise) on Mudcat, 2 rings seems fairly standard. The fave CD's and Movies are very broken up; guess that says more about our personalies and sense of humor than any other question. Interesting stuff, and it's good to see Homeless, and he seems to have a place to live, even if it's not a home, per se.

Mousethief, glad to see a vote for the lowly dibble, was quite adept at its use when I used to support my habits as a youth, by earning money pricking off.

constipation?....hmmm.....certainly was for Elvis Presley, seems it was the root cause of his death, at least according to a radio programme I was listening to yesterday. Something I would rather have not known but couldn't resist sharing.
