Don’t blame me, blame Nicky and Mike over at We Work For Cheese. It was their idea to run a 28 day writing challenge, and my own damned fault for giving into Nicky just because she promised me spicy takeout with extra sauce.
Which I’ve not seen yet, may I say?

Better not try - Even if you could I hear you have to watch video tutorials to just to tie a knot.
ReplyDeleteHey Alistair! I believe, Sir, you're what's known in the trade as a troublemaker. Discuss. (30 points) Roth
DeleteI guess you and I think a litlte differently. I never think of the cat when I hear "put out". But, hey.
ReplyDeleteI on the other hand always think of - um........perhaps not!
DeleteSteady, you pair! STEADY!!
DeleteSo, did King help you tie that Eldredge this morning? Because if he did, it's totally worth keeping him around. Stylin', man... stylin'!
ReplyDeleteHey Paula! Um, no, no, of course not! *looks shifty* The Eldredge was a try-er for me, not a keeper; I can say more with less. But thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Roth x
DeleteMy Rosie is sort of like that. Well, just a little. He's got a long gray mane, and his chronic sinus issues make him snore to beat the band. He used to be a big cat, but age and health issues have taken its toll.
ReplyDeleteHey Linda! I can see him, right there! He's a kitteh to be proud of =) Indigo
DeleteI love King, he was very charming back when we dated. And so handsome in those ties!
ReplyDeleteHey Ziva! He still talks of you, and misses you terribly. And yes, he knows. Indigo x
DeleteI've been meaning to stop by here forever! Your place looks spectacular! And you have a lion roommate--that's so cool!!
ReplyDelete:)
Hey Letisia! It's a delight to see you here, I'm glad to hear you had a great time touring the UK with your beau! And thank you, I'm glad you like what I've done with the old place. Indigo
DeleteI feel like Abbey gets around.
ReplyDeleteClaudya! Wash your mouth out! Abbey is a sweet and pure English rose! It's King who needs watching out for! Indigo
DeleteI'm sure King took your ties because he wanted to be as dashing as you. Now, as for the spicy takeout with extra sauce... um, are you sure King didn't take that too because I know for certain that I ordered it and had it delivered.
ReplyDeleteHey Nicky! Oh hush, flatterer. (Thank you!) As for the "spicy takeout with extra sauce"... oh you mean actual takeout?! Sorry, I misunderstood, thought you were being figurative ;) Dammit, Ziva gets all the luck. Roth x
DeleteDo you know Yann Martel by any chance? I think the two of you could be great friends.
ReplyDeleteHey Mike, I had one of his books (BEATRICE AND VIRGIL) recommended by a friend, and I'm really enjoying it. Sadly, King was stealing my ties long before I heard Mr. Martel's name. Indigo
DeleteYou are lying like a rug, Indigo. You do not think of "put out" as put out the cat. I don't care if you lie. You have fantastic taste in ties and that's what matters to me!
ReplyDeleteLinda, Linda, "put out" is an Americanism that we don't use in the UK. And I certainly don't. Still, I'm glad you like my ties, I must drop by sometime... Indigo x
DeleteWhere did you get this idea?!?! I LOVED IT. Blood on the tie... great writing!
ReplyDeleteHey Katherine! I'd love to claim responsibility, but King's been hanging round my house for more years than I care to count, and no inspiration was required. He's like a muse with teeth. Indigo
DeleteFunny, whenever I think "put out the cat" I think cat on fire. Not that that's really funny or anything - mike
ReplyDeleteHey Mike! Well, I nearly went with that.
Delete"Did you put the cat out?"
"I didn't even know it was on fire."
Extinguisher training day was an eye-opener, let me tell you. Indigo
Neckties, hunh??? Are you sure King isn't enjoying a little 50 Shades fantasy?
ReplyDeleteHey Amy! Nope, they definitely just go around his neck, but thank you for that disturbing picture! Not that the ladies would mind, I'm sure... Indigo
DeleteIt's so gallant that you assume womenfolk snore cutely. I'm here to tell you we don't. Well, I don't, anyway. I've awakened myself in the midst of many a good sleep with the kind of jet roar I imagine King to be making.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this!
Hey Jenn! I was only being polite; I'd heard that your output resembles a pig with a chainsaw. Hey, don't shoot the messenger. Indigo x
DeleteYou made me laugh out loud :)
Delete*raises his hat to a lady*
DeleteFreakin' cats. Always thinking they own the place.
ReplyDeleteHey P.J.! Over time, I've found that to be the case. Insidious little buggers, however cute the pretend to be. Indigo
DeleteI was wondering if someone was going to do the "put out the cat" idea. I just wrote my blog and came by to check out the others. Yours is much better than mine...but, hey, they are both about cats. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Mariann! I loved yours! You've confirmed what I've always been told is the case; they're out to drive us mad. All that pretending to sleep is just a front! Indigo
DeleteI live with two house cats, but I could never muster the courage to live with a lion. My personal rule is, "Never live with an animal that can kill you". I'm sure my cats could probably off me if they were clever enough about it, but at least I'm big enough to punt them if they ever got too cheeky.
ReplyDeleteHey KZ, I hate to tell you matey, but they KNOW how to kill you. If you ever buy an automatic can opener that doesn't require opposable thumbs, you're landfill. Roth
DeleteQuality, as ever, Indigo. x
ReplyDeleteJack, thank you! It's always a pleasure to see you here! Indigo
