Lurkers are a much higher percentage of the population than you might think. There are a lot of lurkers. Are you a lurker? That’s a trick question.

where you at? i’m sitting in the lobby at the hilton
…lurking, of course
I’m in the convention center. Got that 3pm thing.
busted…
More reason to have another Wednesday Welcome Wagon. 😉
Is it too late for one or should it be a thWednesday Welcome Wagon?
Maybe we can post a Friday version.
Yipes, I’ve been called out. Long time lurker, first time commenter.

Not really a lurker, but a pretty rare poster.
Are there any others of you out in the Harrisburg PA area?
I’m on the other side of the state now but went to school over that way.
Yep, that’s where I am, more or less.
You must have missed the thread where I tried to sell my house! Quick commute to the Capitol! etc.
I am actually just south, between Hbg & york. I wonder if we have a drinking liberally around here… Ill have to go look.
There’s a DL in York, which I’ve always meant to get to, but it’s just a little too far. We’d have to stay overnight, I think. So I’ve never gotten around to it.
Why don’t you start one in Harrisburg? There are certainly plenty of politicals around, and plenty of bars, too. We’re in New Kingstown now (had to move to get a one-story) in Silver Spring (Cumberland) but were politically active in East Pennsboro. We informally tossed around the idea of starting a DL at various Democratic meetings, but nothing ever happened. The location someone suggested was odd, somebody didn’t follow through, other things were more important, etc.
I refuse to answer on the grounds that I would have to post to answer the question. Or… I don’t recall. I have no memory of whether or not I am in fact a lurker or have ever been a lurker.
Habitual lurker. Mostly because you and your fellow bloggers cover the subjects of your posts so thoroughly, I have nothing to add.
Appreciate you and the education you provide.
What metricpenny said.
proudly lurking out here in Portland.
I heard the lurkers busted Booman today. It is all over the blogs…LMAO!
I am in the Hilton Lobby too!
What evil lurks in the hearts of men? Only the Shadow knows. Bwahahahahahahaha!
heh, heh…

No, I haven’t. I’ve been fairly busy. Maybe I’ll call them tomorrow.

lurking in PDX
I`ve lurked up & down, and all over the tubes.
I`ve watched from afar & saw plenty of rubes.
The morans & chimps, wide stancers & pimps
& I swear that I even saw boobs.
I lurked on some sites that left me in stitches
& even on some where they didn`t even wear britches.
I once went to No Quarter, now fallen in ruin,
But I`ve never lurked at The BooMan Tribune.
heh…good one head.
with everyone…well the booman, manny, rf etal anyway…hanging in austintehas, reminds me of this song by chris smither: no more cane on the brazos: [click “play music” …works for me]…the mail order mystics never had it so good.
enjoy ya’ll!
later
peace bro
🙂
Lurking ins now my habit. I love reading what everyone says about just things. Boo, have a great time in the big T. It is hot here in my part of the country as well. What with working unusual hours and tired all the time, reading is what I love to do the most. hugs to all.
I lurk most of the time except when Cabin Girl posts a Knit-a-palooza! – then I jump in with both feet! {g}
but I play one on TV. Does that count?
brooklyn lurker here.
