once a lurker has touched the corpus
Nothing to add - I just love this turn of phrase.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I named the third TT thread. I'd be more proud if it weren't a lame name.
Was that the Slayer, Her Witch, and Their Wardrobes one? I can't remember which one was my first, but I think it was that one. And I was one of the first in Bitches. My spikeloost shirt finally fell apart a year or so ago.

I'm sure I'd delurked before that ep. Definately by the start of the 5th season.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Me too. My shirt's still around, but it's much more grey than black at this point.

I'm going to see hat girl again tonight juliana! She's supposed to have things for me to choose from. I'm thinking probably colors, shapes and designs.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I'm pretty sure I delurked in S4, because that's when I found the show. My first episode, which I watched because a college friend wouldn't stop nagging me about how much I'd loved the show, happened to be "Hush." I was hooked like a hooked thing. The next day I started looking up transcripts of earlier episodes online, and I think I found the Salon threads a few days later (I was already active on TT). It took me a few weeks to work of the courage to post, IIRC.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I delurked in 2000 or 2001, whenever it was that the news got out that Nick Brendon was getting married, because I was all excited about having taken acting classes with his fiancée (and now that I look at IMDB, they're filing for divorce, which makes me sadder than I can account for since I haven't seen her in 17 years). I delurked to squee and then got embarrassed about looking like a dork, a starfucker, or just an idiot, and relurked for a bit.
(eta: Well, I feel sad because she was kind and big-hearted and a total and utter little puppycat of a college girl when we took the classes together, and everyone wanted to sprinkle her with glitter and roll her in kittens and eat her up. Also, looking at her IMDB picture, she now looks gaunt and stressed and not at all like the puppycat of years ago. So, sad now.)

I think she was at the event he spoke at when L and I saw him. If that was her, she did seem nice- at least uber patient while fans gibbered at him.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I delurked to become friends with Tim, wait for him to leave me something awesome in his will, then kill and eat him.
