MeanOldLady, I know you're apparently married and all, but, I'm like, not, and stuff? So legally and stuff, that wouldn't be cheating technically*. And we wear the same contact lenses, and you look great as a witch. And I would happily fund your bourbon habit, and get grumpy at whippersnappers too. Whaddya say?

*Don't quote me on that.

It's actually only a legal matter. My spouse hates me. That's fine, I'm in love with Elijah Craig, anyway.

What a tragic life I lead...

I'll have my revenge soon, though. My pictures will soon be in the photo gallery, sending all who view then into frothing madness.

It breaks my heart on a daily basis. I don't think Elijah Craig loves me back. My batting average is terrible.

Can you get him to read your posts? He may still hate you, but at least he will realize that you are very funny*.

I was expecting to see this guy when I followed the link. Elijah is not a very common name hereabouts, I know nothing of bourbon whiskey, and I'm kinda fuzzy on celebrities in general.

By the by, I have comments to make on just about everyone’s pictures because I have studied them all! I feel guilty for only posting one or two specifics when I thought they were all pretty remarkable.

Okay, just one more: even sven’s is particularly neato.

I posted a pic, though the pic is not posted. But when you pick my pic, please post it post-haste. Perhaps by you pasting the pic to a post.

Thanks! I love that snorkel photo; everyone should have their picture taken underwater--it does cool things to your hair.

I'm loving this photo thing, it's great to put faces with all the familiar names.

Your bf is Kneadtoknow? Cool, I didn't know that you were dating a Doper, much less him! (He's another Doper I've thought was uber-cool, as well as you.) And, knowing the story behind his username, you must have a permanent smile on your face! (My wife loves backrubs too, althoguh they don't always have to lead somewhere, and I dont' consider myself proficient at it at all, but she enjoys them.)

Yup, he introduced me to SDMB in the first place. We used to be very open about dating, but we had one too many "get a room" comments, so now we just lay low.

Actually, you have it reversed. HE is the one that you "knead" if you want to "know" him.

Fortunately for him, I LOVE to give backrubs so it's been a quite good match. Massaging lets me work out my excess energy, and allows him to relax. It's a rare night together that doesn't involve a serious back rub session.

Many thanks, Arnold, for setting this up! I've sent out an email to all the NE Ohio Dopers I know to bring in some more pics.

I can think of no better example of false advertising in a username than MeanOldLady.

Markxxx, if that really is you, I must admit, I'm... envious.

And how you doin', Heart of Dorkness, even sven, OpalCat, Renee and HazelNutCoffee?

Ok, I would like to say this before my pic is posted so it's seen as more objective, rather than subjective.

But I think we should be cautious on the name thing. Especially with even sven's post from yesterday.

I would hate for some people to get their feelings hurt because they were never commented on and some people get commented on over and over.

Sorry, I can't hear you over the backrub I'm not getting. Perhaps if you tried again, this time with some lotion, I could understand you.

Thank you Elendil's Heir! That goes for the rest of you too - tell your friends to send in their photos.

(scanning the thread for compliance)
Almost everyone in this thread has sent in their photo. There are a few exceptions - you know who you are. No excuses!

I can't help but notice how many photos have been taken with a background of trees, or some other kind of greenery.

Can we mention how attractive this foliage is, without mentioning names of course. If so, I'd like to put in a good word for the foliage currently to be found adorning photo #26. I think it is exceptionally lush and vibrant, and offers an aesthetically pleasing contrast to the umbrellas also in the photo. If there's any better foliage in the gallery right now then I'd like to see it.
