If you’re here … expose yourself.
I’m not going to mix words, plain and simple, come out!
I spent the past few days catching up on reading posts from my favorite bloggers. Do you know what I found? Many of them are celebrating (That’s what they call it.) National Delurking Week. It’s the first I’ve heard of it. I guess I’m still a rookie.
Anyway … I researched it.
It seems to have originated at Breastfeeding123.com.
I know. I know. Who would want to lurk around a website like that? All those moms talking about boobs and such.
But, apparently, readers do lurk. Not me of course.
I was there just doing research … on “lurking” not “boobs”.
Hey! Stay on the subject.
So these other bloggers have asked their readers, who never comment, to “delurk” or “expose" themselves by commenting and saying hello.
An example would be …
“Hi PracticallyJoe … I’m Louie the Lurker and I admit I’ve been coming by to read your posts without commenting, you are a pissa!”
See … pretty easy, right?
You can even come out anonymously if you’re too shy to say whom you are … although I think it’s a bit creepy. I don’t care. Do it anyway.
But if you do post anonymously … a clue would be nice … I love guessing.
BTW … MS Word changed my “who” to “whom” … you see … Microsoft has been lurking and is playing along!
I’ve witnessed hundreds, even thousands of lurkers coming out of the woodwork at the posts I visited celebrating this phenomena. I expect nothing less.
You crazies who expose yourselves here regularly … I’d like to hear from you as well. Do you have lurkers?
Have they ever exposed themselves to you?

I'm not sure if I'm a lurker as I have commented before but for the record... ahem...
"Howdy Joe! You're blog rocks! Love, Vyolet"
Well younow I'm always here, but I'm more the stalker type. But joe your really not my type, I like red heads... lol. Just ask Just a girl or Midlifeslices. But I do fallow your posts.
I'm de-lurking although I already did. Just thought I'd join in the fun. I wonder whether I have any lurkers...
Hi, I'm Scarlet and I'm fully exposed.
Sx
(Kinda difficult to follow miss scarlet above...)
From the land of the National Western Stock Show - Yeee haw Joe!
I think I only have three or four readers total (thanks for enduring!) so I don't have any lurkers. I don't think. Oh great. Now I'm paranoid.
Well, Joe, I'm not exactly a lurker, I'm around a lot. And because I'm around a lot, I feel comfortable exposing myself to you. What would you like? Boobs? Ass? How about a little shimmy?
K, I'm done exposing. It makes me feel all vulnerable and stuff.
Can't wait to see what kind of lurker folks you attract in this here joint!
I know a secret! Who am I?
You already know I'm here and not at the Golden Banana.
just bob
SHHH, I am Lurking, you'll blow my cover
Here I am here I am!! Can you see me? I'm standing behind the tall woman with the big hair!
I have too poor a memory to know whether I'm a lurker at your site or not. Thanks for your little poem about Isabel on her birthday.
Just look at how popular you are! Hope you don't get too big for your britches what with your newfound celebrity status.
hey, Beagle here. We don't usually lurk, but bark here and there. Although, sitting at the feet of Scarlet-Blue, we might not get noticed much (scratch, scratch)--dang, that flea you were chasing the other day found me. That's what I get I guess for going into any ol' blog and sniffin around. Maybe it came iwth that big scary bear? (pass the flea powder, will ya?)
well I comment here regularly so I don't qualify as a lurker. i also didn't know about delurking week. maybe I'll put up a request to delurk with my Friday corset shot. that should bring out the perverts :-)
I wish I could just lurk. I think I am probably more of a stalker than a lurker, I comment on too many sites. And I don't think I have any of my own lurkers either. How sad.
I ain't no lurker. Just thought I'd say hi. LOL!
I like to lurk and expose myself. Wait a minute, that didn't come out right. Here, let me close up my raincoat...
Just me, big bad frog lurker girl. Excuse me, woman.
Forgive me as I might be the stalker, mmm lurker as my comments seem to have been deleted. I kept trying to notify what I wrote.
I don't mind lurkers and I wish they would comment. But if they don't its okay. Its the creepy one(s) as I refer to as Bob who I don't like lurking.
Vyolet: "Howdy Joe! You're blog rocks! Love, Vyolet"
me: Thanks for pretending to be a lurker, Vyolet.

me: I'm not sure you should brag about that.
