I used to have an Aunt Tilde.

She was married to the John Stockbauer of John Stockbauer Drive fame
here in Victoria, Texas.

Actually, I had two Aunt Tildes.

One was slim and trim, the other was a "plus" size.

I called them the Greater Aunt Tilde and the Lesser Aunt Tilde.

Lemme get this straight...

You are related to the lesser Ant Hillies?

Yes. This is a Hofstadter forum. In Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal
Golden Braid Dr. Douglas R. Hofstadter talks about the isomorphism
(analogy?) between ant hills and minds in "Prelude...Ant Fugue".
There is an ant hill in that chapter named "Aunt Hillary" (not related
to our American Secretary of State). I am proud to announce that Aunt
Hillary is another of my Aunts, in addition to Aunt Tilde. The
things Nature can come up with!

"No! No!" OMG the gardener just put Amdro all over Aunt Hillary!

I don't blame you. If I were me, I wouldn't talk to me either.
You're doing the right thing. Carry on.

No, Don. You're only trying to attract attention to yourself. Stop.
Stop last week.

He's the primary head dude popularizing the Search for
Extraterrestrial Intuluhguntz. We once corn-muny-kated, but he chose
to make our corn-muny-kations isomorphic to what SETI's come up with.

As regards your navel - have you ever rubbed it up agin someone else's
navel and had navel warfare???
