lurker, noun
lurk·ing·ly, adverb
From time to time, friends and acquaintances will mention to me that they've had a visit or two to the Queen MAB Manifesto, and they found my blog utterly irresistable, wildly hilarious, and overly self-indulgent. I promptly ask, "well, why don't you comment?" Most drop their head and start to shuffle their feet, while mumbling incoherent jargon. You know who you are, you silent lurker, you!
In honor of National De-Lurking Week, I present to you a brief tutorial for making a comment.
STEP ONE: (Does anyone else feel like breaking out into some NKOTB right now?) Click the link labeled "X comments" at the bottom of the blog entry.

STEP ONE: (Does anyone else feel like breaking out into some NKOTB right now?) Click the link labeled "X comments" at the bottom of the blog entry.
STEP TWO: When the comment box opens, type your comment into the box. Witty remarks, incessant praise, and harsh criticism are all appreciated.
STEP THREE: Complete the random sequence of text in the Word Verification box. This is like an obstacle course for your fingers, but it really exists to prevent spammers from infiltrating my blog.
STEP FOUR: Choose your method of signature:
a) Log in by using your Google Account (If you don't already have one, click here).
b) Sign as "Other," and leave your name and website/blog (if applicable).
c) Sign as "Anonymous." Be sure to sign your name in the comment box, unless you truly intend to make a lurker-like comment.

I thought it was "Step one: cut a hole in a box." Maybe that's why I've been having so much trouble with the comments thing lately......

...you can have lots of fun. Step Two...There's so much we can do.--Oh yeah, I was supposed to be delurking. I just got so caught up in the music :) I enjoy you MAB, you are brilliant, I tell you , brilliant.
p.s. I also watched those two SITC episodes on the night you spoke of above. I feel better knowing I am not the only one catching every episode on every channel. I thought it was just me.
