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.
You're a bloody puppet! You're a wee little puppet man!

That would be our erinaceous.
One of the problems with the b.org is that several of our members are pretty much real-life Mary Sues, ruining it for the rest of us.

Right? But then there's the benefit of being able to brag on them in an amazingly vast array of topics in cocktail conversation. Not that I remember the last time I had an actual cocktail conversation. Still.

As flea said, we already have one of those.

See what I'm saying? This Mary Sue Buffista thing would take a LOT of work.

Of course you already have one of those. How silly of me. (Consider my mind boggled).
Let's see if I can dream up the perfect Buffista job that isn't already occupied.
Mary Sue Lurker would delurk in October but sadly she's on assignment in Milan reviewing the Winter shoe lines for Vanity Fair.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Shambles! Yay for more Canadians!
I'm excited that I helped encourage a delurk. And clearly one of very high quality.
Montreal is a great city and I have a bunch of family there. Next time I visit, I'll post in Apocolypse and we could have a mini-F2F!
Many welcomes to the other delurkers, too: ehab, Leigh (almost a name overlap - I'm a Louise), Una, Maysa and anyone else I missed. This is a very fun thread.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I once tried to arrest the Prime Minister. I didn't succeed.
Want. Story. Now.
I, too, hope it was Thatcher. (Just as long as it wasn't Major.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I, too, hope it was Thatcher.
Reminds me of the anarchist joke Rick tells on The Young Ones....
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Thatcher!
Yep, that's the entire joke.
