If you:

-come back, and bring pie.  
-see something, and think “OMG” to yourself…and pronounce it.  
-watch your favorite show/movie/whatever, then can’t wait to get to the boards to see what others thought of it  
-missed your favorite show/movie/whatever, and can’t wait to get to the boards to see what you missed  
-wonder what other Dopers think of the movie/book/whatever that you’re curious about

A little while ago we had a coffee mug exchange. We refferred to the receiver of a mug as the “muggee”, and the giver as the “mugger”. Alot of fun!
