Why does everyone want to see my berries all of a sudden? I’ve a good mind to get my scanner and…oh, nevermind. ---

I wouldn’t attempt that with a feed-through scanner, Snark. Your next user name could end up being Squashberries. * * * The overwhelming majority of people have more than the average (mean) number of legs. – E. Grebenik ---

Whoah! My legs just involuntarily clenched themselves together! Warn me before you say something like that next time, Doc! 😉 ---

## Oh come now, your mother already knows about those things. She had to clean you up after you soiled your pampers. Taking this thread to places it _really_ shouldn’t go. ---

Snark, I am sure your berries are fine and all, but keep them to yourself. I do not want to see them. I believe you are you. Jeffery ---

> [@](#): > > had the world believing he was me (he was I? him was me? one was the other? oh, the heck with it!) Poly, perhaps you meant: “I am he, as you are he, as you are me, and we are all together.” But I’m open to the possibility that you meant: “I know you know what you know, but you should know by now that you’re not me.” And Snark, I’m willing to take it on faith that they’re _your_ berries, without having to see them. 😉 ---

Oh Orangecakes, buy the stawberries and cool whip. Take you picture eating them seductively (sp) and post them for us. That will help us get the image of Snark’s berries out of our heads. We are waiting. Jeffery ---

Sorry, Orangecakes! I think we’ve discussed this topic enough already anyway, so this is my last post mentioning my “berries.” Wild horses won’t drag the word “berry” out of me for the rest of the day, I promise. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/name-change-snarkberry-becomes-snark/10794.md?page=1)
