Actually, in the winter, he does but it's a really stupid badger fur hat
he got years ago in Pakistan and I spend half my time petting it because I
thought it was one of the cats , and the other half of the time trying to

CuddleLand Name: The Squire
Real Life Name: Len Hayward
Location: Littleton, Massachusetts, USA
E-mail: hayward@tape.enet.dec.com
Web-site: (none yet)
Description of Cuddle character: (Also describes me.)
SQUIRE n. [ME squier, fr. OF esquier]
1. A man devotedly attending a lady. A man who escorts
a lady: gallant.
2. A member of the British gentry ranking below a
knight and above a gentleman. A title of dignity,
honor, distinction and preeminence conferred upon a
person by virtue of office, precedent, privilege,
lands or attainment.
v. To attend as an escort or squire.
-- compiled from Webster's and American Heritage Dictionaries
I use the first definition and the verb form to begin describing who I
am.
As for the second definition, I do not have an office such as Judge, nor
do I have lands. I do not have privilege, being a commoner. There is
no precedent by which I could make a claim. Only by attainment could
the title of Squire be conferred.
Although the British Realm probably would not recognize it, the Ladies I
have had the privilege to meet have said I earned the title by my
actions as a Gentleman who heeds the definition of romance and follows a
modern form of chivalry.
The Ladies of CuddleLand will have to tell me if I may retain the title.
Favourite colour: Depends on what the colour is for. Silver
with a hint of mauve and an edging of mauve mixed with lavender for a rose.
Yellow for cake (with chocolate frosting). White for snow. Red for
Valentine's hearts....
Favourite food: Edible. My taste buds are eclectic.
Favourite sweet/candy:
Sweet - CuddleAngel, Jelliebun, PTB,
Joysinger, Patty-anne, CuddleAnt, ... (Got a list of all the Ladies in
CuddleLand handy?)
Candy - Peanut butter cups.
Other information: I am the proud father of two wonderful sons
(who live with my former wife); Jonathan is 12, Ryan is 8. Currently, my
3 favorite shows are Babylon 5, Touched by an Angel, and Early Edition.
I'm a Software Engineer and a part-time Instructor (teaching about
computers) for a local Continuing Education program. I collect quotes.
I like Kermit the Frog.

CuddleLand Name: FlashCat
Real Name: Mark Barnard (terribly Germanic -- so naturally I'm
from Quebec)
Location: Wichita, KS USA
E-mail: flashcat@feist.com
Description of Cuddle Character: Flashcat is a small orange
housecat with a pronounced knack towards ineptnesss. Singularly unsure on
his feet, he tends to mis-step at the first offered opportunity.
Profoundly fond of hot cocoa (it's a a bit cold in a swamp, after all),
he's usually out of the precious liquid, and is perpetually in search of
it.
In his mind, a great hunter, though in Cuddle life, he tends to be
skittish of anything small/medium/large that moves, and is perpetuasly in
combat with dustbunnies (which tend to emerge victorious). Still, he's up
to the occasional brash bluff of fearlessnes, when he mistakenly believes
he can get away with it. He's clearly not fooling anyone.
He lives in the swamp, somewhere in a large dell, with the ever-dubious
Tabby Cat.
CuddleLand Name: Locksley (also Sir Locksley, Locks, Keeper of the
Countdown Clock of CuddleLand and hey, you!)
Real Life Name: Richard, Rick or assorted other diminuatives....
Location: Bellevue, WA
E-mail: locksley@gte.com
Web-site: mostly theoretical unless you count the one's that are
isolated from the rest of the world by firewalls and other such devices
designed to restrict the free flow of information...
Description of Cuddle character: Green. Mostly. Locksley is a
bit erratic and sometimes prone to self contradiction. (NO, I'M NOT!)[You
are too, so SHUT UP!] or in verbal battles with the narrator who is just
trying to keep everything simple and straight forward and safe for
everyone concerned. (Right! I believe that)[Would you please BE QUIET! You
remember what he did to us last time?](ulp)
ANYWAY, Locksley sees himself as a later day Robin Hood except he's too
well-bred to steal so he has to go out and buy everything himself or make
it out of scrap in his Secret Laboratory. Unfortunately for him, his
imagination is somewhat more effective than his engineering talents so
things work very, very well but sometime he has trouble making them stop.
Locksley is assisted by (or perhaps ASSAULTED is a more accurate phrase)
by 50 CuddleElves, which are rather small hyperactive gremlins with an
incredible lust for pizza and all the grace and social skills of the Three
Stooges (times sixteen and two-thirds).
From time to time, Locksley dons the uniform of the Keeper of the
Countdown Clock of CuddleLand, but that hasn't happened in quite awhile.
He also wields the bright orange CuddleStaff which was forged from the
heart of the fabulous Nerfwood in his ka-nigitely duties as protector of
the realm and tarnisher of armor. In his spare time, he torments
balloo...who torments him right back...
Favourite colour: uhh...uhhh...green?
Favourite food: Pizza! M'oatmeal cookies! Ice cream! M'oatmeal
pizza ice cream?
Favourite sweet/candy: ICE CREAM!!!!! Particularly homemade...
Other information: Everything I do is perfectly serious. And
rumors of my past transmogreifica... transmoogri...trinsmi...CHANGING into
lions or princesses or other non-Locksley like creatures are false and
untrue and lies even... And I NEVER masquerade as a bear just to get hugs
or food.
