Salem’s a dudette, though it’s not obvious from the username. And, the upcoming Dopefest is on a Saturday. So, you’re in!
Ah, well, possums. See? Possums are dime a dozen, around here. No real market value. I have one in my backyard. I was thinking I could let you have a real creampuff of a previously owned aardvark for, say, four armadillos. But, with possums, now…well, I suppose, as a favor to a fellow Doper, I could let you have it for, oh, call it ten possums, and you’ve got yourself a deal. You wouldn’t, by any chance, happen to have a llama you’re looking to trade it, would you?
Davebear, all the Llamas are being used as caddies down here!
Can you send me a pic of the aardvark? Down here in Georgia, we cultivate possums for food, so they are extremely valuable. Some of us have even been known to scrape them off the highway and into a pan. Mmmmmm-MMMM!
BTW: Anybody know why the aardvark deserves 2 a’s at the beginning of it’s name? Was it named by a Swede?
Weee-doggies! Nothin like a mess o’ pan-fried possum!
Cuz aardvarks is Awfully Awesome critters, of course.
Aardvark is Afrikaans for “earth pig” which, of course, is a heinous slur. Our attorneys are planning a course of action. There is also a critter known as an Aardwolf but, in this case, the aa stand for Almost Awesome.
That would be a Certified Pre-owned Aardvark, of course. With a warranty and everything. We have the lemon law up here, and us BostonDopers wouldn’t try to screw you on such a deal.
Though I’m always up to meeting fellow Bostonians from the various boards I frequent, I sadly won’t be able to attend the Boston Dopefest, but I’m sure you’ll still have plenty of fun without me . . .
Since we’re all already here and discussing dopefests… I know the one in question is an adults only riotously good time playing pool at the illustrious Boston Billairds…
Is there any interest in having a more family orientated affair like a picnic in a park (bring your aardvarks) or something?
**Fibber, Finagle, and Lux Fiat and Lux Fiat **(cause we’re paying attention) please do feel free to join the yahoo group list. It’s pretty low key, except when it comes to the amazing world of aardvarks. Then things do heat up a bit. Throw in a llama or two and whew baby, we’re some wild Dopers. But other than that, really, it’s pretty low key. No pressure, no sales calls, no Spam (unless of course there’s toast).
In another thread, Davebear referred to a ferret/weasel combo as feasels (I’d link but the boards are too damn slow). If we throw aardvarks and llamas together, do we get llaardvarks?
welp, there went the name Aangelina!
We gots Raccoons to trade out here! Seems 1 Raccoon is good for about 6 possums (uncooked) in the blue book, but I can’t find aardvarks or feasles. Seems them dangerous Ferrets is illegal out here in forward thinking Calif! Course that doesn’t stop people from smoking them … no … wait … I’ve crossed threads in my brain…
Pictures? You want pictures, Quasi? Well, they didn’t think I was at the last Dopefest, but I was secretly tucked away with a hidden camera. Just had to check them out for safety and all. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to figure out which group was the Boston Dopers, but when I saw them, I just knew. Call it intuition, call it foresight, call it animal instinct if you must, but here are some of my snapshots:
I believe this is lorene and here’s robot arm
and I believe that the best dressed dude was Dave
unless I’m mixing him up with Eris Lover
Is this not the best looking Doper group you’ve seen? Better get your plane tickets quick, Quasi. I bet the whole board will be beating feet to Boston now.
Ohhhh! Don’t do that! Them llaardvarks is ornery cusses. Fat, shaggy boogers spit ants at people! And, with those long snouts of theirs, they’re damn accurate.
No, Robot Arm was the well dressed dude. I think the one you labelled Robot Arm was actually StephenB. And, Eris Lover wasn’t there. I’m afraid the shaggy one must be Pammipoo. She doesn’t photograph well, does she?
