    Much obliged, Holden. This particular delicacy was still de rigueur at dinner parties I attended in the 80s.

    I don’t even show up in the census stats.

    For religion I selected ‘Other. Please specify’ – Dogonaut.

    And I wasn’t born, I was made …
    ‘for lovin’ you baby, You were made for lovin’ me, And I can’t get enough of you baby, Can you get enough of me?’

    Very true, EMC; there is nothing, for example, about how many people whose internet identity is
    a cat and whether they outnumber those whose i-id is, say, a dog? Who are these people?

    btw as a former Brit (cat) I would be in frame 3’s quiet desperation pie slice, hanging on while the
    Rabbott, Rinehart et al incrementally destroy our kultur

    Anyone else tortured by the John Denver lyric “You fill out my census . . . “?

    Holden, isn’t it a tiny bit illegal for us to fill out your census – or say EMC’s ? EMC, having an other religion would be welcome at the Pig’s Arms favourite house of Dog- St Generic Brand’s – a broad church accepting of both dogs and cats.

    Born “in the USA’ – Bruce Springsteen
    ‘in East LA’ – Cheech and Chong
