**EddyFreddyFreddy**  
On this fine Easter Day,  
Ate many chocolate bunnies,  
Bear with me a second here, ok?

Nibbling their ears first,  
She relished the sight,  
Of her horses stealing the carrots,  
From the Easter Bunny tonight.

Ah, **Blonde** , 'tis a treat in this thread  
To see once more your fine golden head.  
Meanwhile, **HumptysHamhole**  
And **Cinnamon Girl**  
In My Humble Opinion are read.

There they’re joined by **Thea Logica** shopping.  
And the **RAWDuke** old CD’s is dropping.  
**inkleberry** departs  
Before **Starguard’s** old farts  
Can tell **muttrox** which tunes to be bopping.

**romansperson** for headphones inquires,  
**RitzyRae** has Bostonian desires.  
**DeadlyAccurate** says “Which  
DVD pulls your switch?”  
**caffeine\_overdose** seeks holy fires.

**cityboy916** :  
Thank you, perchance,  
For teaching me the difference  
Between limericks and verse.

As we ponder, weak and weary,  
Upon these posts, don’t you see,  
**ETF’s** got horses,  
Unlike you and me. 😃  
'Cause we were barely 17…

Hope everyone’s Easter was swell  
the day at the beach went quite well  
all got lots of sun  
and had so much fun  
celebrating the birthday of a friend, Michelle

The weather today will be mostly rain  
I’m at work so I can not really complain  
for the air is down low  
and feels good on my glow-  
in-the-dark red nose, that is in pain

LOL 😃

**Mrs Milburn Drysdale** ’s recently entered  
The ranks of Dopers – by **Eve** she’s been mentored.  
We’ve also welcomed Kansan **minky**.  
Will their post counts stay dinky?  
Or on SDMB will their lives now be centered?

**Mama Tiger** has Evil Cow-orker  
**Gr8Kat** has a pedophile lurker  
**pizzabrat** hates “carb” foods  
**DtC** has bad moods  
Coz of Bush. Angst enough for berserker!

Will **alaricthegoth** ever be  
Rid of his bete noir?  
Will **danceswithcats** score  
One more hit against Walmartery?

Late-night kid calls bum out **ivylass**  
**Scarlett67** gives that wanker no pass

**Guinastasia** and **Fenris** chime in  
**London\_Calling** replies. **Boyo Jim**

Nor is **binarydrone**.  
Look at **Left Hand of Dorkness’s** grin!

Oh, there’s **Tabby\_Cat, Gadfly** and **Zoe** ,

**EddyTeddyFreddy** - are you surfing tonight?  
If so, spare us - don’t remind us in the morning light!  
The things we post in the heat of the night,  
Are a pale shadow of our intellectual might.

We instantly regret those posts, and blame it on the cat.  
We’ll do anything for love,  
But we won’t do that. 😉

A break-up with my own BF draws nigh  
after six years of loving the same guy  
and **Eve** had warned  
as a woman scorned  
it’d be over soon enough, don’t deny

So I’m not in tears and won’t be  
for I’m doing the right thing, finally  
happy days begun  
from now on for **One**  
at peace again with me, **Yogini**

YAY ME!! 😃

OneYogini is going to be single  
Her boyfriend was a bit of a dingle?  
Now that she’s free  
I now vote that we  
All have a party and mingle!

Great idea **harmless** , lol, gee, let me check my calendar, oh wait, that’s right…I’LL BE FREE! :mad: ☹😕 :eek: :rolleyes: 😃 (Had to run the gamut of emoticons there for ya’!)

Okay, so use one of your alterative user name desires in a limerick (Or…just do what I do, and amuse me! Please!!).

I once saw a thread, not so lame  
that asks your alternative user name  
I once thought **Tangent**  
but afraid some would think it meant  
I’m tan and a man, and not a dame!

😉 Yogini

[truthbot](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=250814) has three goats altogether  
Two are does, and one is a wether  
They’re to be pasture pets,  
So just cool your jets  
If you’re looking for meat or kid leather!

– **Sternvogel** , whose screen moniker was once appropriated by a goat farmer who used it to name a male who was subsequently castrated (such an honor, huh? 😕 )

Poster’s remorse is something we all get  
But bother us we should not it let.  
Against the wall I beat my head  
For hijacking **ETF** ’s thread  
Overcome writer’s block? Not yet.

So who’s playing in my thread now?  
**OneYogini** , of course. Holy cow!  
**SanguineSpider’s** dropped in,  
**cityboy916** ,  
And **Sternvogel** , who’s kidding, I trow!

Hey! I got an idea! Let’s unite  
Doper names that just scream for it. Like:  
Member **alaricthegoth**  
Really should plight his troth  
To **tamaraqueenofgoths** – ain’t that right?

**Mama Tiger** and **Gr8Kat** should join  
**Tabby\_Cat**. **ivylass** would go on  
Very well with **grienspace**.  
**Okaybear** will embrace  
Our **gobear** in the Dopers’ **dropzone**.

I once went by the name **Tigerbunny**  
Some of you might think it’s funny  
I’d wiggle my nose  
While writing my prose  
Lounging in a place that was sunny.  
**Pookyshnoo** is another I used  
**LovinThang’s** I also perused  
I found them both charm-less  
So I stuck with Ol’ \*\* harmless \*\*  
So no one would get confused.

There once was a poster named **ETF,**  
Who, along with **harmless** and **cityboy916,**  
Had the nerve to say our names out loud,  
Let’s just admit it: **EddyTeddyFreddy** is a vixen!

She took the words right out of our mouth,  
It must have been when we were on her lawn,  
Stealing away all those pretty, furry critters  
So as to make them our very own. 😃

Hey, Sanguine!  
It never felt so good, it never felt so right…and we were glowing like a metal on the edge of a knife.

A chap known as **dannyv** played  
The Doper name limerick game. Made  
A clever rhyme scheme  
That no one could dream  
Mere binary ever portrayed.

Meanwhile, in Mundane Pointless Stuff  
**GawnFishin’** remarks off the cuff  
On LIFE. **JimSox5**  
Hails Dopers – may they thrive!  
Though **flamingbananas** feels rough.

Obituaries fascinate **Eve** ,  
Who fascinates **FisherQueen**. We’ve  
Got a hearty hello  
For **moi’s** new cat! But oh,  
**Lobsang** , what did you miss on your leave?

**EddyTeddyFreddy** ’s _his_ name.  
Who started this limerick game.  
'course I’m only just guessing  
what parts _he’s_ possessing,  
Perhaps EdTedFred is a dame…
