"Knock On Wood" by Eddie Floyd

Good morning peeps! A west coast friend suggested that I change the greeting font, so I am going to try a different one for today. I may decide to change it each time I write a piece...I will see. He also said he doesn't like the word "blog" so my mind goes into overdrive trying to come up with an original word to replace "blog". Please send me your suggestions and I will take them into consideration. Be prepared to rationalize your choice of word because I won't change just for the sake of changing...there has to be a reason for your rhyme! That's how I roll! I'm already thinking "clog" instead of "blog" because I tend to "clog" your brain with trivialities; or "Sog" because I am a "sassy old gal"...Lol...where did that come from? Anywhoo, you have probably surmised that I am rambling on today; I am. I woke up with several ideas swirling around my vapid brain, but everything came back to Tiger Woods! I promise you, I am not kicking the Cablinasian while he is down (notice I didn't say brother...), but this is such a topical, shocking, titillating story! So, I dedicate today's blog, clog or sog to all things Tiger. Of course this has to include songs!!!

Facts about tigers

Did you know that all tigers have different stripe patterns? Like snowflakes or fingerprints, they are all unique.
Did you know that tigers are solitary animals, as opposed to lions who live in prides or groups?
Did you know that there are more than 100 stripes on a tiger?
A tiger's roar can be heard from over a mile away...huuummm; so that explains how his wife caught him...she heard him roaring after one of his trysts!
A tiger marks it's territory by spraying trees and bushes contained inside it's area...so, that's why he ran into that tree...he was marking his territory!
The tendons in a tiger's leg are very strong. So strong in fact, that they have been known to remain standing even after being shot dead! Wow!
There are 9 subspecies of tigers: Bengal, Indochinese, Malayan, Sumatran, Siberian, Southern China, and 3 extinct subspecies: Balinese, Javan and Caspian. So, where does Cablinasian fit in? OK, enough of the boring tiger facts.
