Chris at Rude Cactus and Mr. BigDubya are both acknowledging National De-Lurking Week, which was started by Sheryl at Paper Napkin last year. I'm not under the illusion that I have a ton of lurkers visiting this site (the west face of Siula Grande gets more traffic than I do) but I know that there's a few of you out there who stop by and don't say "Hi." Hell, my wife is notorious for this....
So if you're a frequent visitor, fan, NSA agent, or just a visitor who accidentally Googled something like "cheerleaders+poop", then reveal yourself! Leave a comment! Say Hi! Tell me to shut up! Here's your chance! There are few advantages to not being seen.




well in the spirit of not being too creepy...which really does take the whole voyueristic fun out of it...i will say hello! so hello crouton boy and fam!

You get two comments, and one of them is a duplicate? Not to worry - I got your back.

I'm new, but I'm not really a lurker, am I?
And that comment about me being a cheerleader? You can't imagine how giggly that made me.

I am officially de-lurking! I'm a regular reader and just wanted to say hello. Always enjoy checking out what's new with your family.

I'm a lurker......... also from Spokane originally, imagine that?

you know i think this de-lurking campaign is really dumb. i simply refuse to keep track of what class of reader I am... maybe i have commented before? who is auditing this?
greetings from a reader. aka HI ... but that is with no eye contact and I am moving really fast.

Hi. First time reader, and out of the closet already. You go, Croutonboy!

I think you are 'da bomb'.
Posted by: Meredith | January 11, 2006 at 09:10 AM
chelsyliz - Boise in da house! Welcome
Lori - a Spokane survivor! So few of us escape...
mo-wo - your name and identity have been registered with the appropriate government authorities, and I've tapped your phone. Beyond that your anonymity is secure. ;-)
Tracy Lynn - thanks and welcome
Meredith - rearrange the letters and I'm also "b mo bad". Not sure where I was going with that, but thanks!
Dubya - so if I insert "Swedish love pump" or "anti-itch ointment" what does that say about you?
Thanks for your support all!

Posted by: MIM | January 11, 2006 at 10:55 AM
I am a half lurker. Hi.
Posted by: William | January 11, 2006 at 12:09 PM
I'm not sure if I've commented before or not, but I've been here several times. And I'm quite sure you get more traffic than lots of blogs out there (including mine!)...
Posted by: Kristen | January 11, 2006 at 02:25 PM
I seem incapable of lurking (as you know).
Posted by: the weirdgirl | January 11, 2006 at 04:25 PM

I'd say - "That's not my bag, baby."
Posted by: Mr. Big Dubya | January 11, 2006 at 08:49 PM
Oh - damn - I completely missed it - Oodgie speaks
Hi Oodgie!
Posted by: Mr. Big Dubya | January 11, 2006 at 08:51 PM
Not lurking...stalking.
Lots of lurkers on my site.
Posted by: Phat Daddy | January 11, 2006 at 09:34 PM
I don't know, I just googled "cheerleaders and poop" and I'm not sure what this is but ...
Hi!
Posted by: Kris | January 12, 2006 at 09:06 PM
What a great week - I get to finally come clean on my propensity for lurking (spiced with a healthy dose of procrastination) and wish Cheeky a happy half-year birthday!
Howdy from the only person Oodgie knows in Dallas

I lurk because I keep hoping you're going to reveal the secret of how to waste a weekend playing god of war and still deal with an annoying drool machine clinging to your elbow.
