I’ll do my level best to attend. But keep your damn aardvarks to yourselves.
Dave, you weren’t wearing your belly button ring, that’s what threw me off.
Alright, Lux. Send out a hello so we can obnoxiously say things back to you. Or at least I can, the rest of the group is really very nice.
Oh, Quasi, you sweet thing, being able to get past the physical characteristics and all. You’re just looking at lorene’s personality, aren’t you? 
Now, Andygirl, what could you possibly have against the poor aardvark? Are you staying in NH over the summer? You could always bring a possum to trade with Wyatt.
I am indeed in NH over the summer. It beats Delaware any day.
Also, upon checking my calendar, I realize that weekend is one in which I will be in a wedding. Sheesh.I shall have to raincheck, alas.
Only once? 
Who doesn’t? 
[sub]Oops! Did say that out loud?[/sub] :o
Ah! Well, I was going for a more casual look, that night. I usually save the belly button ring for more formal bashes.
Well, yeah! What did you thinks I was looking ats?
Q
Do you ever find your brain just gets in a certain groove?
Biggity diggity
  The next Boston Dopefest,
  be there or be square, there’s
  no in-between.
Come meet fellow aardvark
  aficionados,
  shoot pool and drink beer and
  see and be seen.
I can honestly, and with some relief, say that my mind has never gotten in that groove.
I’ll try to be there…it’s right after I get back from vacation though, so I may be stuck on weekend closes to make up for my time off…my boss sucks like that. (For example, I took a personal day combined with my days off this week to go down to New York to meet a friend, and in return, I got to open Thursday, close Friday AND Saturday, and work 11-8 on Sunday. Slave labor much?)
For what it’s worth, I still suck at pool. And am I really that shaggy? sigh
Nah! You’re much more attractive, in person. Some of us photograph well (like me!), some don’t.
Actually, I’m so not photogenic! There have only been two pictures taken of me that I was (reasonably) happy with; my high school graduation picture and, believe it or not, my most recent license photo.
Yes, Dave, I think we know which groove your mind has been in lately.
And keep it up, actually. Posting in obscure verse forms is not the babe magnet you’d think it would be.
No shit? Huh. Who’da thunk it?
Uh… ** DaveBear** …
your recent license photo???
sigh
Yeah. Seriously. The latest one is way better than the mug shots they used to take. Of course, you also have to bear in mind that there’s not much competition with which to compare it, since I normally don’t allow my picture to be taken. There are only four others, that I know about, though I suspect my friend, the photographer, has some I don’t know about. Well, not counting the wedding photos from my last marriage, but I suspect those got burned, some time ago.
Hey did any of you aardvark lovers feel that earthquake this morning?
No. Who notices such things? They’re always piddly little ones.
But, I noticed this thread was sinking just as the time approaches.
Hey Parallax and I both felt the quake 
We just didn’t realize what it was until we saw it on the news.
No earth shaking here in North Central MA. But I do remember those pregnancy hormones being in overdrive.
Any other Boston area dopers out there, feel free to join us on the 16th. I’ve heard something about tanookie showing up in maternity leather. Could be just a rumor, though.
Any pics of Nomaardvark?
Given the many different sub-plots of this thread (and related threads), all I can think of is that we need a picture of the 6-month pregnant tanookie with the aardvark snout and the ‘Garciaparra’ shirt on.
Hey! She was the one who wanted to know if I was sure people wouldn’t mistake her for Nomaaaa!
Nope, not yet. But, did you see this little cutie? Aaaaawwww! How could anyone not love that face!
BTW, I like the sig. I think that’s the first one I inspired.
