. . . I found the thread where posters describe themselves. I’m also 43. I also love Berlin, Porter and Gershwin. Then I was relieved to find your picture. I’m definitely not a gorgeous brunette like you, nor a published author! Whew. It was starting to sound like a Twilight Zone episode. Now, please don’t tell me that you love pugs . . .
I don’t know about Eve, but I love them! As soon as I get a house with a yard, I’m gonna get me a pug. And name him Weenie.

As soon as we get a fence for our yard I’m going to get Berlin, Porter and Gershwin and keep them out back. But I’m going to call them Irving, Cole and either George or Ira, I can’t decide.
Of course I love pugs–why, the minute I met Ukulele Ike, I . . . Oh, wait a minute, you said “PUGS?” Never mind . . .
Hey!
Aw, don’t take it personal, ya big lug.
Lug?
Well, that’s okay then.
I thought you were callin’ me a “mug.”
Bug? Slug? Dug? Glug? Jug?
Ah, thank you, pluto. Obviously Eve was calling me “Jug,” equating me with the great jazz saxophonist Gene Ammons, whose nickname was also “Jug.”
That girl is SUCH a sweetheart! I think I’ll stand under her bedroom window and serenade her tonight. Around four AM or so.
Watch it–last time some thug tried THAT, he was wearin’ a flower pot for a derby . . .
Unless, of course, you serenade me with “Cohen Owes Me Ninety-Seven Dollars,” which always makes my little heart go thub-a-dub-squish.
True pug story, I was just playing with this dog, a one-eyed pug named Lucky, last night. Cute little bugger.
What a coincidence…I was “playing with a one-eyed pug” last night, myself…
Three of my favorite Dopers, all so close to each other in the same thread.
Please allow Uke to handle the “pug” solo, okey dokey?
Sheesh.
Make that four of my favorite Dopers, including my most favoritest of all time.
Hint: Roman god, planet, Disney dog.
Nice recovery, Cant! 
Yeah, geez, I was about to say, only three?
We get another post from Swimming Riddles again, and I’ll have my whole Top Five right here.
*Uke, going for his Personal Best for Most Posts in a Thread which Should be Swept Under the Rug *
Hmmm… almost-Mr. Athena and I have been mulling the idea of getting a couple pugs lately. I’d name mine Edith Wharton and his was gonna be Ivan Dog. Edey and Ivan, the little puglets.
(… I hesitate to mention Ms. Wharton on this thread, seeing as I have a vague memory of Eve hating her. But perhaps the idea of a pug with her name would please Eve…!?!)
You were all right the first time, Canthy, but I was wondering why you’d left out Uke.
Athena and SwimmingRiddles, if you are indeed thinking of getting pugs, you can’t choose better, sweeter dogs. Not that I’m biased or anything!
UncleBeer: Poor little puggy to have lost an eye! But I bet it doesn’t bother him now, as long as he was getting plenty of attention and petting. Pugs are eternally cheerful, even if their wrinkles make them look sad.
HA! Here I had high hopes of finding two of the lovely ladies of the SDMB (photo spread in next month’s Playboy)ploting together to get me…DAMN!
