At a Dopefest recently someone mentioned that a Doper drew a sketch, just for me, of olives… marching forth. If I saw this before and I completely forgot about it, I apologize - but I have no recollection of this drawing. Can someone point me to it? This is a must-see! I need to know who to thank. ---

All I can think of is the user name of **Olives\_March** \ ---

There was a thing a while back where somebody was drawing quick sketches of permutations of people’s user names… Twickster became Trick Stew, and the drawing had a hand popping up out of a pot of stew holding a bouquet. There were a bunch of them, on a website somewhere, and I have no idea how long ago it was. Yours might have been one of them. ---

There were a bunch of them, on a website somewhere, and I have no idea how long ago it was. Yours might have been one of them. No, that “anagrammed user names” thread (which you can see [here)](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=320394&highlight=tens+grovel) was done by **Amazon Floozy Goddess** before **olivesmarch4th** joined this board. The picture mentioned in this thread’s OP sounds familiar, but I can’t recall who drew it. ---

There were a bunch of them, on a website somewhere, and I have no idea how long ago it was. Yours might have been one of them. Almost: the hand had a boxing glove. I had a T-shirt made of it that I wore to a Dopefest and no one got it. ☹ ---

Those olive penguins are just about the cutest thing ever. Not slow loris-cute, but sleeping puppy-cute, at least. StG
