Hello there. I know you’re out there. I can hear you breathing.
How do I know, you ask? Because I just checked my blog stats, and I’m getting around 10,000 hits a month here. And while RSS readers account for a good portion of those, they don’t account for all of those hits.
Why do I call you ‘lurkers?’ Because even though my visits are going skyward, my comments remain woefully slim.
So come on. Leave a comment. You know you want to. It doesn’t have to be particularly insightful, or even funny. Hell, it doesn’t even have to be in English. And you know what? I’m feeling particularly generous. For this one post, I’ll even leave in all the spam comments about penis enlargement and NASCAR racing news and build-your-own furniture.
I just wanna know who visits so I can decide if I should clean the place up or not.
This post is lurking menacingly over at humor-blogs.com.

Boy, if that isn’t a case of “If you build it, they will come”…

RSS reader here. I prefer to leave comments about designer shoes.

What, comment? And blow my cover?

I can never keep silent…
HELLO!

anti: Good to see you around here! Thanks for playing along - I’m going to have to spend some time poking around your site.

Montucky: it’s okay. I won’t tell anybody if you don’t.
Shhhhhh.

Preposterous: Hello back! Good to see you. I do appreciate your visits and comments.

If anybody from INS asks, I was never here.

Your secret is safe with me, Mr. Doe.

Como say yo mamma.
Sorry to drop in like that but I had a sudden failure with my lurking device.
Strange, I just had it serviced.

10,000 hits? Woohoo. I think I’m only halfway there. Also, if you don’t understand what Heidi just said, I can translate. She just called you a penis head.

Brent: Has your 2,000 blog warranty expired yet?

Heidi: %$$: !%%$#*

Lis: I think it’s actually “wee-wee head,” if you use the vernacular.

I’m eating a disgusting chicken alfredo tv dinner.
What? You said we could talk about anything!
March 3rd, 2008 at 5:08 pm
And you can. I’m glad you visited. So should I clean this place up, or not? I’m torn.

Wolf, try this.

And now she’s calling your mum names!
Psst why bother cleaning it up? The kids will just mess it up again.

Lis, you do know that Heidi is Wolf’s sister.?.?
March 4th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Ha! Lis, meet Heidi. Heidi, meet Lis. You two might live next door to each other (which wouldn’t surprise me - it’s a small world.)
Funny aside - Heidi, your remarks show up as question marks at work. For some reason, the ESC doesn’t have oriental characters installed on their machines.

Seriously?! Now the joke’s on me! The Chinese is kind of weird though…
