We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

This is pretty funny too.
The right foundation garments can help with that.
Ten minutes after I posted, I realized this was so very inevitable. I can count of my friends for the good (and deserved) snark.
People, this is why bra fittings are of the gods - support.

I like the idea. I'd hope a semi lurker/lurker would offer opionion. I'd also suggest which threads folks read. Maybe the masthead have some basics to cover, as a suggestion for ice breaker? Where ya from (as vague as you want to be), what brought you here, what threads you browse.

I heard something on the radio today about a "smart bra", but had to leave for work.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Underpinnings aside, I like

much better than "do you really support us?". Really Support sounds a bit too much like calling the lurkers out, when it can be rough for some people to come say hello. We Don't Always Check feels more like we're saying "we'd like to meet you, but we don't want you to get lost among the crazy."
Umm, the crazy of the posting speed. Not of us. Maybe.

I'm with amych. I love the idea but I feel like some of the (funny) suggestions might come across as scolding or putting someone on the spot if they're nervous about delurking.

Love!
Lurkers don't have to delurk. Lurking is a fine and acceptable use of this board!
But if they're lurking out of intimidation or somesuch, come out and play!

am I the only one who imagines the delurking process like a bird of prey uncloaking? No clue why my brain keeps picturing that when I see the word "delurk". Clearly it is full of the nerd.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
o_a, you're not the only one!
