So, I am a long time lurker that has helped me out a great deal. so, here goes…I learned to use my chopsticks to eat cheetos, I learned many ways to make eggs (Which I love). I learned stuff about cars, and small engines…I am so pleased about what i have learned. I love this place.

How long did you lurk before you joined 4 years ago? 😕

I love it here, too.

I’ve learned so much here that I’ve been granted 12 credit hours from an Ivy League technical college. I’ve won debates in my local Waffle House by quoting **Bone** and **Ed Z**. And I’ve had murderers that drive Harley-Davidson 18-wheelers back down after I ask them “Hey, want to buy me a beer and have me tell you about twelve different rock classics that were plagiarized from old blues standards?”

And when the retired PhDs at the Mensa Tavern & Grill ask me if there’s any secret to my insightful intelligence and rapier wit, I just wink and say “A lot of Dope, man…”

Is there a special term for people who sign up and then lurk?
