Dear Rich,

I don't know about having your warm fuzzies spilling out all over my keyboard, but, I ken your meaning. ;-) I don't know, your scenario sounds a wee too much like 'The Trouble With Tribles' episode from Star Trek -- have you been staying up too late again (and sneaking into the sideboard)? I must speak to your mum!

But then again, I always thought the Tribles were great -- and they would be fantastic playmates for the cats, so -- Trible Away Dear Lurkers!! Spill your warm fuzzies on the hundreds on welcoming screens here at the 'Cat!

Any prospective nice lurkers should know that the lurker who cast a shadow of doubt on our welcoming of lurkers, is really a MEAN lurker, and we weren't even that mean to him and if you ask me I think he deserved it because he came here just to make trouble and if you come here with goodness in your heart and warm fuzzies in your belly then it will spill out onto your keyboard and thus(amazingly enough) onto your screen and then onto ours and we will be so moved by the warmth that we always knew you had deep down inside of you, that we will in turn, pour out more warm fuzzies onto our keyboards and we will click the "Submit Message" (which I forgot to mention, you will have to do when your crop of love ond goodness is ready to send) and when that happens our bundle of joy will flow out over the 'Cat and onto everyone's screen and the effect is exponential and pretty soon there will be so much good feelings that the Blue Meanies won't dare show up around here and oh my God I did it again!

This being the Halloween season the lurkers probably feel more than comfortable out there in the bushes watching us have fun.

But you should know,
Oh lurkers in the weeds,
That we know you are there
Where you hide among the reeds,

And when you come,
To join us in our dance
An addict you'll become,
As on the keys you prance

Dia dhuit, a Neill! Cad é mar atá tú inniu? ;-)

Back in my lurker days (which, as I recall, didn't last too long), I never lurked naked -- too many rug rats running 'round, ya know. And since the air conditioner's running right behind me most of the year, I never lurked nekkid, either.

But, hey, dear Lurkers, you can 'mudcat' in the buff or with everything in your closet thrown on -- Just come on in, the water's fine! Let us know what you think.

I don't know about this clothing optional bit, I think on this thread at least clothing should be prohibited. I'm not gonna sign this and then you won't know who I am.

The problem with "starkers" --for me at least-- is that the first thing that comes to mind is not clotheslessness but "stark raving mad" -- thus until some other part of my brain remembers it means "naked," for at least a fraction of a second I foolishly think it means "crazy."

I don't know who Inez Chandler is, but the difference between 'naked' and 'nekkid' has been common knowledge down here in the South for ages.

C'mon Lurkers - join the party!!

Anybody noticed that the only contributors so far are members?

I KNOW how Mudcatters deal with lurkers who come out. The reality is significantly different from the warm and fuzzy words.

But that's OK. I'm still here.

It is reported that according to Inez Chandler, "naked" means that they are not wearing clothes while "nekkid" means that they are not wearing clothes and they are up to something.

That expression (nekkid) came from a wise man who blow's into a possum's rear-end to make music.(True story) I'm not gonna question it.

Strange how someone with no clothes on is artistically nude, but someone wearing one article of clothing is "nekkid".

Thanks Rich.

It's a Loo because anonymous graffitti can be left. The correct mannners would be that if any appears, no one wipes it off, just answer it in kind, but don't address the writer personally. Just-- graffitti.

They also serve who but lurk and wait

Many, many of the people you see posting either "lurked" or used only the DT for quite a while before they began posting. But don't think you aren't appreciated!

In the Mudcat Tavern, Susan (Praise) very subtly suggested this thread for lurkers who are a bit bashful to post to have a place to hang out.

The catch: if they want their lurker-safe thread to remain here to hang out on, they'll have to post something to keep it alive.

The REAL catch: We're just liable to like what they have to say and welcome them with a great outpouring of sloppy snogs, big bear hugs, warm words of encouragement and other fates too fearsome to mention.
I don't know if I'd want to risk it!
