Expressions that you don't expect to hear from an author:

"This book should be an aardvark."
--Magnus Yayer, 11/13/03, when asked about his first novel What It's Like to Have a Tail.

Which brings to mind one of my favorite Sesame Street songs:

I'm an aardvark, and I'm proud!
I'm an aardvark, and I'm happy!
I'm an aardvark,
If I try to be specific
And a little scientific,
I am feeling quite terrific!

I'm an aardvark, fierce and free!
I'm an aardvark, standing bravely!
I'm an aardvark,
And I'm tough and smart and strong
And always right,
And that's the way I'll always be ...

Until I meet another aardvark
Who's bigger than me!

Aardvark

Hehehe. Cute. :) Which I guess is a word not often applied to aardvarks.

Would an aardvark call his dog an Aard-bark?

*groan* Oh, my. That's the worst yet. It was really funny, though, I have to say.
