Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Ahaahaha. No, alt.gothic.fashion was not more pointy than alt.gothic. a.g ate its young as a post-gothclub snack. The flame wars on a.g. were EPIC. a.g.f was like fluffy bunny snuggle time compared to a.g.

See, by POINTY, I mean "Maybe there was more point to looking, if I was just researching brands and stuff, and Makeup Alley didn't exist yet." (More point to lurking. A.G. was just kind of painful to read. A.G.F. turned me on to various new hairdyes and brands of shoes.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Much more point (and pointy buckly boots) to lurking on a.g.f. You could actually, like, LEARN things there. A.g. was just a huge timesuck and little fun without some level of engagement. At least IMHO. But then i gave up about 10 years ago and haven't peeked in since except for brief forays nearabout convergences.

Somebody new needs to delurk; I am trying to avoid morning tasks. Can I get some support (not in e-mail), here, people?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Maybe we should just invent a Mary Sue Lurker.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I could try getting Ryan to delurk. I believe he has some penetrating insights to share about feeds, along the lines of "blblblblbl".

Yeah! That would definitely use up some time. Because you know how long it would take to reach a consensus on what a Buffista Mary Sue would be like? Just the cilantro/olive/serial comma decisions alone...

ETA: Have at it, bt! The sprog are bound to take over one day. Why not today?

...all my words have been taken by my work. - Mala

I could change my user name and re-delurk.

Or perhaps instead may I suggest that Mary Sue Lurker works for the OED defining new words and re-defining old ones.
