I’m trying to learn how to post pictures so I can start talking about my cats again! I don’t have kitty pictures yet, but here’s a couple from my wedding day. The first one is me and Mr. Beetle, the second is me and some of our little beetles. I’m the one in white. 😉 [http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/juliarmstrng/detail?.dir=mail&.dnm=8841.jpg&.src=ph](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/juliarmstrng/detail?.dir=mail&.dnm=8841.jpg&.src=ph) ---

Well, you’re easily the prettiest **Dung Beetle** I’ve seen. Because of your name, I thought you were a guy (until one of your posts earlier today). ---

You’re very pretty and not dung beetle-like at all. I mean, seriously… [Goliathus.com: beetle breeding site](http://www.goliathus.com/en/en-dung-beetle.html) ---

Hmm… I have it on good authority that your new husband is cheating on you. Leave him. Move to Boston. Ignore Bostonians who, until earlier today, mistook you for a man. Go topless. ---

[QUOTE=tdn] Hmm… I have it on good authority that your new husband is cheating on you. Leave him. Move to Boston. Ignore Bostonians who, until earlier today, mistook you for a man. Go topless. [/QUOTE] Don’t be fooled by **tdn**. He has often commented to me about how the name **Dung Beetle** suits what must be your manly physique. **I** was the guy trying to set him straight. I too am a Bostonian, but **I** never mistook you for a man. Uh-uh. _Especially_ after seeing those pictures. So come to Boston and look me up. I’ll show you the beauty of Boston, and I’ll introduce you to my wife. She’s an Irish Catholic from Dorcester. She’ll put us both in traction. So maybe this isn’t such a great idea. ☹ I kid, I kid. **Mrs. Fresh** is a very kind and caring woman. She’ll just put _me_ in the hospital, but not in traction, and I’ll probably come through with only a minor speech impediment. ---

Dear Mrs. Beetle: May I call you Dung? 😉 No really, you are perhaps the most un dung-like beetle here on the Dope. Nice pictures, and of course, being male, the obligatory “damn, you hot”. **Lookee, I didn’t flirt!** Unless you count me pointing out how, once you go Bus, you never go back. But it’s not flirting if it’s stating a fact, right? ---

:o You are all very kind. I’m sort of thinking I should post a more representative picture. Something that shows what I look like on a regular day, with no makeup, dorky clothes, weird facial expressions… Nah, I think I’d rather not. ---

And someone should tell the guy in pic #1 that when you are standing that close to a hot chick in a strapless dress, “PUT THE DAMN PHONE DOWN!” 😉 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/this-is-a-picture-of-me/361619.md?page=2)
