Mostly a lurker though I do take the occasion stab at humor. I think I’ve even answered a few questions.
I’m dating another doper named OhFace. We knew each other before, but I converted her to the Dark Side of the SDMB. We even showed up at an Georgia dopefest and had a good time.
I was once a child star on a major television sitcom. Now, I’m mostly well known for posting little cute sign-offs after my ‘signature’ on each post. You may have remembered me from such great endeavors as PorkDope '02 where I damn near burned the place down, or the attempted coup in Rhode Island back in '78.
Rarely do I have anything huge to contribute, but lately, I have been finding some complex questions to ask lately.

See? Here’s one of them cute sign-offs I told ya about.
Unless you read my threads about going to Brazil, going to Ecuador, or my brief and disastrous period of dating this one guy who asked me for coffee, you probably have no idea who I am.
I’ve met a couple of Dopers. I had dinner with Edward the Head once, a couple of years ago. He struck me as a nice guy–and he had a motorcycle, to boot! More recently, I had a little correspondence with Iris, his fiancee, who has been to Ecuador and who has very graciously given me some really useful advice.
I’ve also exchanged a few e-mails with Shirley Ujest. I got a tip from Enginerd on finding recordings of spoken Quichua.
lno–how ya been, man? Long time, no e-mail.
For a while, MaxTheVool and I were dating.
OhFace–how are your classes this term? Still taking biology credits?
Speaking of, do you have any photographs of that? I was looking for some of the firebreathing shots, but I could only find a few of me and thinksnow gouting flame.
However, in the feature thread Wow! A kind warning to Olestra-phobes!, which starred AskNott as the main character, my supporting character uttered an oft-quoted line for the first time. The line is, by far, more famous than the utterer.
Who is Anastasaeon? A heavenly nobody. But I can bake a mean cheesecake.
I’m Cyros. I’m from Atlantic Canada, I’m pregnant, unemployed. I can’t think of anything remotely interesting to share, and my posts probably reflect that. I’ve never met another doper, but if I had the opportunity, I certainly would.
Hello. I’m trupa. I am a Doper who happens not to have a cool or witty bone in his body, although I try to make up for it by being helpful, earnest, and sincere. At parties I am usually lurking in the background until someone needs a pen, a knife, directions, map or compass, or first aid, unless I’m questionning someone who said or does something I find interesting. In movies, I would be the trusty sidekick / straight man to the glamorous or funny hero. Despite this, I was amazed at how at home I felt at the only Dopefest I ever attended. Maybe it’s because everyone was so interesting.
I try to post when I think I can help, or contribute a bit of knowlege on a topic I know a little about, but don’t do a lot of “social / small-talk” posting, eventhough I enjoy reading it. (probably due to above-said lack of wit / clever banter) I am married to Serious Lark, my rock and partner in crime (she’s got the brains, I supply the brawn) and proud Papa of trusquirt, our soon-to-be-three son.
I addition to the famous dopers above, I have always enjoyed reading posts by featherlou, IrishGirl (who put me onto a lovely melody to play on my recorder), Airman Doors, Ivy Lass, (who thanked me for one of my very first posts suggesting a cookbook, and made me feel appreciated), Loach, **kytheria **, (who gave me a virtual smooch once) Polycarp, and many others whom I can 't recall right now.
There are many smart, funny, knowledgeable, and even wise people here. It is often humbling.
