> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Parallax \* > \*\* Just checked the logs for our web site and I’m getting a complex now.

There’s something definitely twisted about me getting more hits than the only female in the group. 😛 Must be because I’m the only one who said it was a good likeness. And, stop sulking! You’re the only bona-fide superhero in the group. Besides, your ratio of hits to post count will crush mine, if we do the math. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by betenoir \* > \*\* Well I have to go 'cause Davebear will punish me if I don’t. > > No wait. Dave will **refuse** to punish me if I don’t. Yeah, that was it. \*\* Ummm…yeah. Something like that. 😉 But, you have to come, anyway, because we need some hot babes to attract more guys. And, if enough guys show up, that will attract more women, which will…aw, nevermind. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Davebear \* > There’s something definitely twisted about me getting more hits than the only female in the group. 😛 I know I pulled up Tanookie twice. I love Super Mario Bros.! But I didn’t want to embarrass myself by mentioning it. The best thing about the Tanooki suit is that you can clonk ghosts on the head with it, but I always wondered who designed that weird statue that you turn into. Thank you, kind raccoon! Please tell me your name. ---

Most people don’t realize where the name Tanookie comes from. It is certainly not the name I wanted to represent me on muds, messageboards, and other registerable sites around the net but it’s taken on a life of its own over the last 12 years. So yup… all you dirty minded people… I’m really a raccoon 🙂 Way cool list pammipoo! You outdid yourself 🙂 ---

Well, I have to admit, three of the hits on “my photo” were from me. I just really like it. I should probably snag a copy and save it locally, somewhere. Did someone say dirty minded people? I’m sorry. I wasn’t paying attention. What was it you wanted? And, yes, Pammipoo is doing an OUTSTANDING job! It’s a good thing I volunteered her, and not myself. She’s doing a much better job than I would have. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Pammipoo \* > \*\*Okay, I lied. Send emails to [BostonDopers@yahoo.com](mailto:BostonDopers@yahoo.com) . At least that way I can pass along the power along if I get sick of it 🙂 \*\* Thanks so much! I’ve signed up. This is great. ---

Well, even if everyone else is ignoring me here…not that I’m bitter…Pammipoo answered my email and said I could be in the clique. So there 😛 I’m in the cliii-iique, I’m in the cliii-iiique 😃 Although I’m not sure if it really counts if everyone is ignoring you, but I’m going to keep up a positive(ly ridiculous) attitude ---

Welcome Salem 🙂 Sorry didn’t realize I was in the clique myself! Our little group is growing! Maybe august can be more of a maxi dope than a mini dope? ---

I got back late Friday afternoon, so I was too pooped to even check where you all were going. I’m glad you had a good time! Count me in for August! I e-mailed Pammipoo. **tanookie** , awesome pictures! Good thing you were there to chronicle the event for us. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/boston-mini-dope-anyone/162015.md?page=7)
