The Great Mofo Delurk 2007
Button from schmutzie

I've been noticing a decrease in comments, too and then I read about this over on zoot's blog today (right after I berated a friend for rarely commenting on my blog [not you, K]). Deep down, though, I thought ... oh mah god, it was either a) me or b) my blog was screwed up. My blog designer has been overworked and whatnot lately so I didn't want to ask her to take a look to see if something was wrong and was resigned to my fate. What a maroon!

So all you lurkers; come out, come out, wherever you are, stop hiding behind your bloglines and google readers and SAY something, will ya! Comments make everyone smile :-)

And if you need something besides my horrid writing to generate a comment ... pick a picture! Which one do you like better...and why?

Bride, washing her feet

I'm posting this early, because you know, tomorrow is What Is It Wednesday!

it's not so much "lurking" as it is being too lazy to type. and i love the picture of the bride. it's just...funny.

Thanks for joining in!

I prefer the picture of the lizard, but that bride one? Why is she washing her feet when she's surrounded by all that sand?

Posted by schmutzie at October 2, 2007 2:37 PM


ren: Well, thanks, Ren, for commenting! Now...your turn!

schmutzie: She was getting ready to walk up some stairs to her reception :-)

Posted by Janet at October 2, 2007 2:43 PM


I had the same thought as schmutzie. I mean, won't she just get more sand on her feet?

And although it is a lovely picture, I like the iguana- maybe it's the colors.

Posted by Michele at October 2, 2007 3:15 PM


The bride, but the textures of the iguana are wonderful.

I missed your post on Friday that you did on Sunday! Can I still play? =)

Posted by Lisa at October 2, 2007 3:17 PM


Anytime an iguana ponders, I'm captivated. :x)

I am almost at the boot-out-the-blog mentality, myself. I get very few comments daily, and I do try to go and comment on new blogs every other day.

I think in my case it's just "me"...
I guess I am just old and uninteresting. *sigh

Love the bridal shot the best. Don't know where you got the picture of my ex-husband!

Posted by Maribeth at October 2, 2007 4:10 PM


Everyone loves a bride! I pick the Iguana! I love the pepples, sand, and his spikey points. He's beautiful! or is it a she? An Iguana bride, who knows???

Posted by Mel at October 2, 2007 5:04 PM


Hey, I know that I comment on just about every post you, um, post! I am a good commenter. :-) Or at least I try to be on all of my regular reads.

While your wedding shots are fabulous, I love the iguana. It's the textures that appeal to me!

Now I'm going to post a delurk post for tomorrow too. Not that it ever works...but thanks for the link to Schmutzie's cool button and for the great idea.

I really like both pictures. I love the close up of the iguana because it's a great photo and also because I've always loved iguanas and lizards. I like the pic of the bride because it reminds me of my upcoming wedding.. I'll be getting married on an island and hope to have a dress similiar to the one she is wearing

i'm just a lazy reader/commenter/blogger. lately i've noticed that my blog isn't even getting spam anymore... that's how slow it's gotten!

i like both pictures... i looove iguanas and i think the bride picture is beautiful and full of whimsy. (did i just say whimsy?)

Posted by monique at October 2, 2007 7:36 PM


Michele: Only on the bottoms :-)

Lisa: Thanks! Of course you can play, anytime!

SilverWillow: I'm sensing some negativity...that's not like you! Everyone! GO VISIT SILVERWILLOW! Please!

MB: HAHAHA ex-husband...that iguana is too cute to look like him ;-)

Mel: Too funny, you followed your sister! Maybe the iguana was the groom to the bride ;-)

Lisa: Quite right, you are a FANTASTIC commenter! Thank you for your compliments :-)

Dandelion Dust!: What a GREAT name! I hope your wedding will be as fantastic as Azzy's :-)

Mo: You did indeed say whimsy! Next you'll be saying fairy and shimmery and ...

Posted by Janet at October 2, 2007 7:54 PM


I like them both, Azzy's smiling in the picture and looks like she's having fun. The lizard doesn't look like he's having as much fun, but he's got a lot of nasty looking spines on his back so maybe he doesn't get close to many people!

Posted by goofy girl at October 2, 2007 8:20 PM


I like Azzy, for obvious reasons.

Posted by krista at October 2, 2007 8:24 PM


Do like I do. My SiteMeter tells me when friends visit. A lot sneak in and out without leaving a comment but about once a week.
It does make me look bad.

Now if I have a really great or exceptionally funny post, they come out of the closet to post.

I am not a lurker as you know! I love the photo of the bride - I can't wait to see more photos! Does the bride have a blog she shares? Can you email me?

Posted by Michelle at October 2, 2007 9:31 PM


I usually post comments....seems rude to peek and leave!

I love the colors of her flowers against her dress.

Posted by tommiea at October 2, 2007 11:19 PM


My comments go along with how busy I am. I like to make sure I read every day if possible but sometimes commenting takes time especially if I have nothing witty to say :)

Posted by sue at October 3, 2007 7:19 AM


I prefer the two legged creature

Posted by Laura at October 3, 2007 8:22 AM


I really enjoy your pictures! And I prefer the iguana of the two above; I think it's the textures, and there's a certain dignity or majesty to him.

Posted by Teej at October 3, 2007 9:43 AM


Hi Janet! I love both pictures, but I'd have to say the iguana is my favorite of the two - I love up-close shots. :-)

Posted by L-Squared at October 3, 2007 9:43 AM


I have been SO busy and not posting or commenting and no one comes to visit. So, you are not alone. Love the picture of the bride!

Posted by Nancy at October 3, 2007 10:15 AM


Hi saw you at Michele's today too. I like the bride better than the iguana.

Posted by Geggie at October 3, 2007 10:32 AM


I read you everyday through Google but never comment b/c I'm lazy. Sorry!

Posted by Zoot at October 3, 2007 11:41 AM


Well I like them both! I think that the bride one rocks because it is unexpected...and the iguana one is just so...iguanaish (is that a word? Probably not- I tend to make up my own).

Posted by Amy at October 3, 2007 11:44 AM


I like the bride photo better a) because it's such a wonderful and unusual candid shot (love the contrast of those bright flowers among all the neutral colors), and b) I'm just not much of an appreciator of lizards. I will say though, that one is pretty handsome...for a lizard.

Posted by DebR at October 3, 2007 12:16 PM


Stepped out of my mind lurk to leave you comment no 27. You can now never complain that you don't get enough comments.

Posted by Megan at October 3, 2007 2:49 PM


kisses and hugs and chocolate and led zeppelin and johnny depp and snape and rum & coke dirty martinis choose plates fois gras alcyon-tannat driving in the car blasting the music harvard square

sweet? non?

Posted by Megan at October 3, 2007 2:56 PM


I just don;t understand, she's so pretty i'm sure she could have done much better than an iguana.

Posted by ME at October 3, 2007 5:04 PM


That was a hard choice for me. I like the fact that the bride got all sandy walking in her wedding dress. Otherwise I would have gone for the iguana.

Posted by Carver at October 3, 2007 5:20 PM


Delurking! I've been here all along!

Posted by Sky at October 3, 2007 5:53 PM


I tried to leave a comment yesterday but the system wouldn't let me, it was not my fault, lol!!

Posted by mar at October 4, 2007 2:44 AM


Love your iguana picture! The bride is so tan, I bet it must have felt good to wash her feet off. What a lucky wedding to be married on a beach!

Yeah, I think I'm one of those that usually comments, but I think I need to comment on new blogs that I see. Sometimes I feel kinda dorky or something. lol

Posted by Sword Girl at October 4, 2007 8:46 PM


Ok to answer this a few days later????

Sometimes I don't comment because I'm either too tired to form a coherent thought (I have CFS and it happens more often than you'd think) or else I'm interrupted by the annoying people around here who seem to think I should give them attention whenever I'm on the computer, which is often.

I do return though, nearly everyday, because you always have something interesting to read about. I'll try to comment more often, even if it's just to say Hi!

I wish I could tan like the bride in this pic, wow. It's a great shot! But I don't think it's fair to choose between poor Iggy and the bride. They are both beauties in their own kingdoms.
LOL
