I eat lunch with you all almost every workday but as you can see I’m not much of a poster. I should be - I’m certainly not shy - don’t know why I haven’t taken the plunge. I arrived here at the recommendation of my sister, another mostly-lurker. I usually check out MPSIMS, the pit, and GD before returning to my tasks as a research slave. If I had to guess what would lure me into posting, I’d hazard that it will be on food, etiquette, or soccer. No claims of intellectual depth here 😉 . Thanks for giving the quiet types an op to post! ---

Hi, I’m **Dogzilla**. I’m a girl, although usually people think otherwise. I don’t post or even lurk as much as I used to, mostly because they put up a new server filter and now I can’t get to the boards from the office anymore. I’ve never been pitted, although I recently seriously pissed some people off in IMHO. I’m an editor by trade, and a gardener and orphaned animal rescuer by hobby. I’m a cancer and like long walks at the beach and… Oh, wait a minute. That’s for another board. 😉 You can find my posts in threads about ugly little dogs, gardening, grammar and language, management and publishing. And certain tv show threads. I always lurk in music threads, a lot of movie threads and anything about the Mormons. I really enjoy anything written by **Rue De Day**. I once had a huge crush on **iampunha** , and e-mailed with him for a while until I was cured. Oh, and I prefer chocolate chip. ahem :: looks over at ivylass, whimpering :: ---

I’m **Inkleberry** , and I look [nothing at all like Bea Arthur.](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/inkleberry/Peter/MayAndTrip/Park/parkmommy2.jpg) I’m married to **DrLoveGun** , who is [a body double for Don Knotts.](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/inkleberry/Peter/MayAndTrip/Zoo/giraffes.jpg) We have a 6 month old son, **Tinkleberry** , [who loves his friend the spoon.](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/inkleberry/Peter/MayAndTrip/food/spoon.jpg) Sometimes he dresses like [Yassir Arafat](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/inkleberry/Peter/MayAndTrip/Yassir1.jpg). I have yet to be pitted, although I have started some unfortunate train wrecks. I rant a lot, but in real life I tend to be pretty happy and chipper. Secretly, I wish I owned a goat. I have a somewhat steady private practice as a Career Counselor, but mostly I hang out with Tink. If I could do anything in the world, I’d run off to Madison, WI and open a bookstore and grilled cheese sandwich shop. I have an embarassing picture of **Maxthevool** in the shower, but I’m too nice to post it. My tongue is undoubtedly longer than yours. I share a name IRL with a major Shakespearean female character. I think farts are hysterical. ---

I can’t believe I forgot to pimp my two favourite threads. :smack: Some might remember me from these two threads, both by Cisco: [Coke au lait?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=288633&highlight=coke+lait) (post 12 started the horror that is my alter ego), and [Root Beer Floats](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=291550&highlight=root+beer+floats) (post 31). I haven’t done one of those in a while. Then again, **Cisco** hasn’t been around to start one of those taste-testing types of threads. 😃 ---

I’m **the4thmooncat** , also called (by myself) “the one with no self-esteem whatsoever”. Comes back on message boards though. 😃 Lessee… I’ve posted everywhere 'cept CCC, CSR, ATMB, and GD. The first three are kinda boring to me, and all those people in GD want cites. I hate cites. Ok, not really, but I don’t like them. I’m literal… very literal. That’s why my posts usually look like rambling. Like this one. My mind insists on having everything right. Lessee again… I’m obsessed with anime, computers, and video games. \I’m currently video-game-deprived, so if anyone feels like helping me… [please…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=319277) \ That covers it. I think. I’ll probably be back later to clarify. Freaking literal-ness. ---

> [@GillianBoardman](#): > > Hi! I’m GillianBoardman, and I think I’m a bit of a thread killer, so I don’t post much, and I apologize in advance if I kill this one. My life is insane, and it’s all my fault, but I don’t post much about it, although I did announce when my husband came to visit me for the first time in almost 2 years. Now we live together in Vancouver, but life is still crazy. I read everything except Cafe Society because I’m not with it enough to know what anybody’s talking about. I also don’t think I’m smart enough to post in any of the serious threads, which is a weird feeling for me. But you know, I like not being the smart one for a change, 'specially since I’m a slacker and don’t feel I deserved the reputation. Never been to a dopefest, but I’d love to someday. Gillian, I find you strangely fascinating. For many years I felt I wasn’t the smart one - I felt I lived in my brother’s shadow. He’s a mathematician and I’m not. I always thought my more arts-oriented bent wasn’t really the thing. So, what is your area of genius? ---

I’m over here hangin’ out in the smoking area, looking on with mild amusement at the love fest being carried out by _those guys_, while the rest of us remain gleefully anonymous. I write stuff, the thread dies. It’s all right, I suppose, nobody’s stacked my locker yet. ---
