> [@Beware\_of\_Doug](#): > > A cat > A hat > A mat > A bat > A DAT I say that you have no cat. 4 true, one lie: A baseball autographed by several famous professional wrestlers from the 80’s. Jay & Silent Bob inaction figures. $40-odd worth of Woodstock '94 script. An inflated, laminated porcupine fish. A jar of gen-u-ine, from the woods, Kentucky moonshine. (I was terribly tempted to put “a pair of white socks” as my lie, but it’d be too obviously true to be anything but a lie). ---
