Unless Mel Brooks is a lurker, we should probably return to our regularly scheduled program.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Delurking 1: Because we don't always check our e-mail.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hey, we have someone in Argentina, land of my birth! On this very day, 42 years ago. (How's that for a completely unsubtle segue? Ha!)
Seriously, though, represent, land of my birth!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Hey, it's JenP's birthday!!! Happy birthday, JenP!!!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Kate! You moved to Nashville! That is crazy because next time I have to go home I'M GOING TO SEE YOU.

Anything for a weird life.
I'm tempted to start a sockpuppet lurker account and lead an uprising against the regular posters.
GET OUT OF OUR SPECIAL SHINY NEW THREAD.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am all for less natter in here, because it does effectively defeat the point, but let me reiterate the description:
lurkers and regular posters alike

Always Anti-fascist!
Sure, do the one movie in the world I can't quote from. "The tse tse flies sweep young children up in their beaks..." "Tse tse flies have beaks?" Thomas, the fall will probably kill you.

TV news psychic
Hi, I'm Fern. Not only am I a semi-professional lurker, but I'm also a class-A procrastinator. Was going to delurk when the thread first was established, put it off, then had to catch up, but didn't so I skipped.
I found the Buffistas at Table Talk, sometime in early '00. Salon's TV critic had an article on BtVS, and there was a link to the TT BtVS thread (have no idea what number it was.). I've posted very periodic random drive-by posts over the years. My TV viewing has been cut recently. I used to lurk in Supernatural and Lost. Gave up on Lost for a while, but have gotten back into it, and I was unable to watch Supernatural last season due to no DVR and having classes on Thursday nights. I do random lurking in other TV threads, but I don't watch all the shows, and I am reluctant to get spoiled for shows I may pick up at some point.
I want to say how appreciative I am that this site exists. I used to lurk in Natter & Bitches, but, for the most part, it's hard to keep up. I love all the various discussions on the BtVS & AtS threads. I learned a lot from my lurking. I am a better viewer/consumer of television. I look at it far more critically. For example, what is the metaphor, if any? How is the writing? Acting? Do I like this show because of what it says or because of the pretty? And I'm ok with superficialities, as long as I aknowledge them as such. I remember some of the discussions/debates over the nature of the soul on the B & A threads, and, as an atheist, I really appreciated all the various viewpoints, and that there could be a heated discussion without personal attacks. Because of this board, I respect the sincerity of other people's point of view, even if I don't agree with it.
