Good morning.

As you may recall, our cat took a turn for the worse a few days ago, refusing to eat and just hiding around the house, the way older (13+ in this case) animals will do when they’re about to die.  It was a rough couple of days around the Cornblower estate, where we tend to like out pets more than we like most people.

Then again, based on all of (gestures wildly in multiple 360 degree circles) this, I’d say we’re justified in that.  My cat may go after birds once in a while, but the last time I checked he wasn’t trying to bring our country back to the 1850’s.

I mean, he probably would if he could, (he is a cat after all), but so far I haven’t seen any evidence that he is.

What does this have to do with the mock draft topic?  NOTHING.  The thing is, the furry little bastard rebounded today, (youth pastor voice: Do you know who else made a big comeback on Easter Sunday?), and I’ve spent a large part of the day making sure he stays on the antibiotics and other meds he’s been taking, as well as on my hands and knees feeding him fingertipfuls, (there’s no way that’s a word) of food.

It’s been a long day, and I don’t have a topic.

But what I do have is a particular set of a skills, a set of skills that allows me to take notes and/or otherwise record suggestions that people send me for these drafts, and tonight I’ doing little more than dipping into them and, well,

I’ve got these notes that said Scotchy suggested something like “cars you’d design.”  I don’t know what that means either, and my handwriting isn’t helping any.  I’m sure that, unlike when dealing with the local transient population, his intentions were good and I’ve screwed this up, but this is what we’re left with.

We’ll expand this draft to cars you wished you’d designed, cars whose design you admire, or cars you would design or modify.  I don’t know; you crawl around feeding a cat an ounce at a time so your daughter doesn’t have to cry and then you come up with an idea!

For reasons lost to time, and me, I don’t have access to the back rooms anymore, so I’ll shout out to Scotch in the Sunday liveblog, but for the sake of having the first pick I will take the Swedish Koenigsegg

which probably goes really fast, but that’s not why I’m drafting it, because I live in Connecticut and if I took that thing to it’s max speed I’d hit a tree, a deer, a toddler, or all 3 faster than you can say “Hey, where did Horatio steal that car.”

But it looks cool as hell.

The rest of you are on the clock.
