Official Delurker Day 2010

Hellloooooooooo! Remember that Delurker Day thingee? The idea that Rude Cactus rams down our throat every year? The one where I made the silly flasher graphic for him and it just stuck? The day where those of you, the ones you read but never comment conquer your shyness and just come on out and say HI!?

I promise we won't bite. Come on, get delurking! I leave it so you don't HAVE to sign in to Google for a reason - to make it easy for you to comment. [OK, so the spambots made me turn word verification back on recently and that sucks, but blame them, not me.]

Seriously. It's not hard. You know you wanna.


P.S. Apparently I am doing American Idol recaps, but I can wait till the Top 24. Thanks for that. I also find it humorous that about the same amount of people voted for the American Idol poll than in the Top 50 Mommyblogger dealiebob. And when I say humorous, I mean disturbing.

P.P.S. Even though we are calling it "official" and all, if you missed it today on your blog, you can still do it tomorrow, or next Tuesday, or whenever! IT'S YOUR BLOG! Just bring on the delurking!

Hey there. I am a total lurker, reading reading blogs, but never any comment time. So just know, I'm here reading. I need to try to comment more!

It's been a long time since I've been to your space. I've seen you at Citizen of the Month, NaBloPoMo and other places. This is the first time I've said hi, I think. Thanks for the de-lurking graphic. Gotta run back to my blog to correct the linkage credit. This is probably the nerdiest comment I've left in the 15 years I've been surfing the Interwebs.

Hello. I'm a total lurker here. Not on purpose, though. I try to be a good commenter, but then the baby cries or the dog howls or the laundry is done. So I just have bad timing opening your page is all. And that has turned me into a lurker lol. So hello.

Okay, so sometimes I comment now. But I still consider myself mostly a lurker. I have no idea why commenting the first few times is so scary to me. Complete nonsense. But that flasher guy? I honestly can't stop giggling.

I'm a lurker, mostly because I usually read through Google Reader and clicking over to comment is hard work, yo. (Also: I am lazy.)

I only comment here when you have a give-a-way. Is that bad? I think that's bad! But I read EVERY post because I HAVE to. You're on the list, you get read. And you're mostly hilarious too. And real.

You DO do the top 24, that's right! I can't do more than the top 12 without my head exploding.

Also, I don't lurk, not since I moved away from you. Before then, well...a lady never tells. :)

I probably lurk on blogs more than I comment (or add to my own blog) which I aim to change for 2010. Consider me de-lurked.

I love that idea. Copy, paste, I'm in. I shall make sure people know where it came from.
Question though...if a lurker comes out of the shadows does the flasher guy turn around to face us?
