Mmm... oyster po' boys work for me too.
Have I mentioned I haven't eaten anything of substance since Monday?
Yet oddly, not really hungry.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm not picky as to po'boy flavor. Just love 'em.
Barb, I hope you regain your appetite soon.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Poorboys around here (Chicagoland) are not the po'boys known elsewhere--they're cubed steak sandwiches on garlic buttered bread and are of the yum.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Okay, I think we non-lurkers need to shut our traps for at least a few hours and let the ACTUAL lurkers get a word in edgewise. (Not that I'm not loving this thread, but I'm guessing this speed of conversation is why most of our wonderful lurkers stay lurked. So HUSH.)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I variously refer to "my online friends," "the Buffy board," "Buffistas," or just "friends" depending on context and audience.
I am smonster in this regard.

Art Crawl!!!
Liese! I'm not sad to no longer be unique - I'm quite happy because now I know that I've actually met another person with my name.
(Which, given how popular a name it is in Japan, shouldn't be all that surprising should it?)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
SA, you and Billytea were both at the DC F2F--surely there was meetage of some description.
Oh, that's right. I remember a sort of vague talking about some sort of creature in the lounge of the DC hotel. So I *have* met Billytea. Ha, universe. Ha ha ha.
ETA: #48. Wow. Never really noticed that before.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
(Unspecified)"We were talking," "This came up in a discussion the other day," "Somebody posted a link," "I have a friend (whose child did similar, who had the same symptoms, who feels the way you do)". If I'm clever, quick, and engaging, we've moved past the "who, now?" before it comes up. If it does, "A posting board I read. We have teachers, attorneys, actuaries, writers, rocket scientists, theatre people, music people, from all over the world. So, you know, a pretty broad perspective." And then I smile and stare 'em down and dare them to mock.
met bev's sons
Both of them, you did! And they met you, too (StY says hi, btw).
I also fed ND lunch and ferried him in my little Buffycar, my SX-400, from a seminar he gave at NCSA to smonster's place when he was doing a tour of Buffistas between speaking engagements. And he survived the drive!
Oh man, I don't get to check Natter as often as I'd like to, and I skip and skim when I do. Bitches is a lost cause for me now, and has been for a while. But when I do get a chance to read and post, I *still* feel like I have nothing original to say, that the conversation has moved on without my input just fine and you all said what I was going to say, and I have to make myself post. It's not necessarily a lurker thing. Speed and sparkle continue to intimidate. But the cheerful welcome is worth the deep breath and the finger on the "post" button.
Come on, you know you wanna!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Come out, dear lurkers! It's perfectly fine to say what someone else already said, and to say it about 900 posts after the conversation. At least, it seems to be - I do it all the time, and they haven't banned me yet.
Also, I'm 423. A nice symmetrical number. I like it. 4 has always been my favorite number. It's possible I did register because Joss was posting, but I truly don't remember.
WHO IS NUMBER 6?
