Here are the somewhat belated responses to last week's Know Your Pocomoke:
1. Matt and Richard once started a house fire in El Paso, Texas. This occurred on a cross-country road trip, so they had a great excuse to hit the ol' dusty trail before the arson investigators showed up. But down along the Rio Grande folks still tell tales of the Flaming Desperados.
2. Alphonso joined us for a late night chat during a pit stop in North Little Rock, Arkansas. I can't remember the details of the encounter except that it convinced us to get back on the highway and seek lodgings in Little Rock proper instead.
3. The circumstances surrounding this event are sketchy and greatly disputed, but historians generally agree that Big Cat launched the first handful of fruitcake. He attempted to hide his identity by dressing in Old Bear's clothing (which we DO have pictures of). As the incident occurred in international waters, the Laughing Fruitcaker was never brought to justice.
4. At the time I posted this question, Mr. Bitey, armed with natural feline inquisitiveness and the blind confidence of adolescence, was getting dangerously close to opening the cage that held Banana, the king snake who was staying with us at the time. The pets' owners have since decided to separate the two, but if you ask me we were getting close to an all-too-vivid example of curiosity killing the cat.

To set the record straight:
1. The cause of the house fire are still a mystery, although it was probably related to a short circuit in the water heater. I was actually the one to put it out while Matt was still sleeping soundly. Matt was however involved in entertaining the firefighters when he walked out of the bathroom wearing only a towel (having just taken a shower using the now hotter water from the heater that had previously been on fire). To the best of our knowledge the house is still standing to this day.
2. While we did get back on the highway after our encounter, we did end up staying in North Little Rock, being the hardcore street-smart people we are.
1. Which is slightly ironic because normally it's the man in the firefighter costume that strips...as opposed to a half-naked Matt in a room full of firefighters.
I can attest to #3. Big cat definitely started it.
