Followed by The Lord of The Onion Rings (Onion Rings), Orcish Delight (Turkish Delight), Sauromon of Many Flavors (Sherbert), Lambanana Bread (Banana Bread) and Borobeer (Beer).

Gotta love those Morderves.

Horrible, I know. But at least now it's out of my system.

Now, off the topic of food and back to lurkers/coming to the site.

Better than a pirchwich. Pirchwich, pirchwich, pirchwich...mamma don't make no pirchwich.

Er...sorry...it's a WI thing.

Hey, lurkers are cool. Most posters (if wise) lurk for a while before jumping into the fray. Learning how the Site opperates and what the general mood and rules are before posting.

Then again, poking your head up and saying "hi" can be very frightening for some. Even if it is on the invisible medium of the the Word Wide Web.

Look at it this way, it could be worse. All them lurkers could turn out to be like me when they finally do post.

[Q peers out through the computer screen at the lurkers.]

"DON'T WORRY! YOU KOOKY CATS ARE ALRIGHT!"

[Q taps the screen.] "Hello, is this thing on? Hey you, you've got some mustard there...no, there...yup, you got it. And you...put some pants on!"

And I bet they've regretted it ever since

Not a chance! I regret things that happened many years ago, but not your "return" to posting together.

Like Nommy said, I found Speculative Vision through the invitation of iznardy. I believe Zim Q'Tar was posting here as well.
