Every so often here at FDL we like to invite our lurkers to make their presences known. If you look at our hit counter, there are tens of thousands of you pouring through here every day. We have a wonderful crowd of regulars in the comments section, but we're always curious who's out there reading and not necessarily chiming in.
Things are going to get pretty crazy in the next few weeks. We've got some of the most historically significant elections in our lifetime coming up in about 40 days and 40 nights. I'm just wondering who's out there reading. Who are these silent fellow travellers? Come on, don't be shy. We have moderators on duty to make sure your FDL experience is as fun and pleasant as possible. In the event of an emergency landing, my inflated ego can be used as a flotation device.
In traditional Judaic cemeteries, it's a custom to leave a pebble on the grave-stone you visit. It's just a little gesture that says, "I have visited. I was here."
So, get yourself a screen name and jump in! The water's fine. We're glad you're here and grateful that you're making FDL a part of your recommended daily allowance of Liberal political commentary.
Leave a pebble. We can't wait to meet you!

Hey Lurkers!
I am not so certain that
(firedoglake = your loved one’s grave)
is such a good metaphor
:~)
I read the site at least twice a day.
Thanks for all you write and do.
I’m a rather mundane writer so I seldom comment. Good writing is a joy forever.
(Mine isn’t.)
Hi, been lurking for what seems like years. First posted yesterday…
Trex. thanks for the pebble knowledge. I was at the Boston Holocaust memorial this summer and wondered what all those stones were about. Nice to know.
Not really, but wouldn’t that be cool?
I’m Spartacus.

[de-lurk] Greetings from Frisco, Texas. Kudos to the FDL crew for all that you do. Keep it up! [/re-lurk]
Don’t everybody de-lurk at once. TRex won’t hurt you, he’s only a 60-foot tall dinosaurs with three-foot long razor-snark fangs.
Here, I’ll start off. TRex, last night you gave the best explanation of grunge music as a movement I’ve ever heard of:
Way to go, and thanks!
I’ve been reading for quite some time and posting for just over a week. Still a little self conscious about posting, but it has been great!
I love reading you all. I have fun and learn reading you all here. Your very informed. hugs
I have to assume I am one of many who manages to get through a work day where I stare at the computer a lot by flipping periodically to FDL for a reality check.
Those of you, posters and commenters, who take the time to write interesting and thoughtful analyses of current events, be assured you have at least one reader on Wall Street.
Corry
Jane, Christy, Trex and company–you’re all brilliant. Keep it up. You’re helping to restore my beloved country’s sanity.

Aw. Group Hug!
GSD @ 9
Hmmmm, GSD, you beat me to it!
Welcome all you readers (some say “lurkers”)
FDL is part of my daily required reading. I love the community feel, the passion, the snarque, the terrific writing, diverse voices and spot on insights. And, I am in total awe of how much you all get done.
Thank you for adding so much to the party!
I’ve been politically aware and responsible for years, but like many, I haven’t been moved to real action until the latest Dark Ages. The focus of the blogosphere is invaluable.
I’m here. I read. I enjoy. I learn. I laugh. I cry sometimes too. I heart you all.
I’m SparcatusGSD @ 9
I’m sparcatus, not the same thing :-)
A victory for our side- incumbent Democratic Senator Dan Akaka beat liebermanish challenger Rep. Ed Case in the Hawaii primary on Saturday.
And- I hate this administration for what it’s doing to my country! FDL is an oasis of hope.
Thanks,
Ken
Aw, hooray!! Welcome lurkers!
Nice to meet you!!
Can I fix you something to drink?
TREX read FDL everyday but do not comment but I’sm here and glad you and FDL is there too.
m de la m @ 10
Great name!! I don’t know if you are riffing off of creme de la creme….
But I had a friend whose name was “_____ Ladrove de la O” which I have always considered one of the most beautiful names ever.
ac @ 19
We heart you too!
Thanks for reading!!
Lurkers of the Lake UNITE!
Who wants a mojito?
I’ve posted once or twice, but the pace of the comments is too swift for me, I’m afraid, therefore I lurk.
Most of the other blogs that I follow are primarily information sites for me. In other words, I don’t pay close attention to the authors of the featured articles (well, I find DarkSyde on Kos to be both and elegant stylist and a formidable intellect and I tend to seek out his articles specifically). Here, on FDL, however, the writers are so distinct and the chemistry of their interactions so energizing that I tend to pop in here more often during the workday than I probably should.
Anyway, thanks to Jane, Christy, TRex, Howie Klein, and all the other Inflammable Canines, who make this site so great, and fill my tiny brain with useful information and pungent snark.
I don’t post much but I read just aboout all the main posts and a good chunk of the comments. I love this place. The regular commentariat here have much better insights than I.
Probably my best contribution so far was:
Shorter Lieberman: “I’ve worked with Republicans to get us where we are today”
TREX: Read FDL everyday but leave no comments. I am glad you are there and the rest of FDL.. Let’s show em in November what the net roots can do!!
From Mudville in the Central Valley.
I just saw an ad for the CIA (never seen one before…) during a commercial break on *The Daily Show*…!
Not a complete lurker, just mostly not worthy of adding anything to the most informed and erudite bunch of commenters in the known universe!
A South African emigre told me yesterday that he is very worried about the course of our nation; he likens this to the times during apartheid, before the real protests began.
We’ve been studying Gandhi and the non-violent movement. Could I ever have such courage?
While you are de-lurking, go on a trip here to see what Wesley Clark is saying.
“For eight months, Bush did nothing — nothing. No plan. No action. No diplomacy. No intelligence. No meetings,” Clark said.
I think the coalition to take America away from the path of torture, bombings and terror is coming together.
This is Bush’s most vulnerable point. The secret wide out in the open. He has been running on protecting the nation..but 9/11 happened on his watch.
-GSD
Thanks for the appeal, but I value FDL as a resource, not a community (along with others, like Kos, etc.)
Frankly, I’m so busy making changes in my local City and County (often guided for information I glean from such publishers as yourself) that I barely have time to read each day. I certainly don’t have time to write.
Thank you for being here, and for you and your colleagues being so articulate. You are a valuable resource to activists through the U.S.
I just don’t have time to participate in an “open forum.” I get enough arrows in my back from the frequent “Letter to the Editor” in my local paper.
sarik @ 32
Huh?
You mean Culinary Institute of America or the real, honest-to-goodness Central Intelligence Agency? Are they allowed to do that?
“We are the CIA, and we want you to know, 9/11 wasn’t our goddamn fault either!! Now, go back to sleep!!”
TRex - rules Late Nite! Thank you for all of the guffaws, snurfs and spews.
Jane and Redd - you have made this old soul have hope again, a million thanks are not sufficient.
Ditto for all of the other posters (Pach, Taylor, Matt O., Howie, Swopa, Jennifer and all those I can’t recall at the moment;) and all of the commentors who express my feelings much more eloquently than I could ever hope to.

Brownandserve @ 30
That is a significant contribution to the discourse — if I may, I intend to steal it!
Carol Anne @ 35
Great to meet you, Carol Ann. Now, don’t go into the Light! It’s not your time!
Mostly a lurker but a couple of questions/thoughts;(1) Would it be possible for someone to put together an online “users manual” so lurkers and semi-lurkers could learn to use all the buttons..do links etc.
(2)Would it be possible or a good idea to do a demographic poll of FDL folks? I think knowing some general data about us would increase the sense of community.
I’m a regular over at Our Orange Overlord’s place, but I rarely find the time to comment elsewhere. Regular reader here, though.
GSD @ 35
good! we gotta run ‘em ragged until they keel over from exhaustion!
I only come here for the stories…really.
But I do so daily, avoid the comments section cuz I tend to avoid crowds in general. Here’s a pebble, and I’ve got a vote and I intend to use it.

immanentize @ 39
Be my guest. I hereby place it in the public domain.
Well, I’m not a 100% lurker as I have posted on (rare) occasion. I’ve been reading and being inspired by FDL for some time now, and truly appreciate the smart and passionate voices that post here. But generally I find that y’all say what I would have, only better, sharper, and snarkier. Good on ya :) Thing is, with 150-200 comments per thread these days, well, who am I to take up more post-space? Signal to noise, an’ like that. Y’all say it better than I could anyway. For that, you have my thanks, and my promise that if you keep up the good work, I’ll sure try to as well.
I’m a regular lurker who is excited to post a comment when there’s only 34 others who have commented. Every other time you’ve had a de-lurking post I seem to show up after 237 others. This is much nicer.
I love the site and read the posts daily.
Steve @ 41
I think this is a good idea. I’m intimidated from some posts because I want to link and don’t know how.
I’m a somewhat new reader, and an extremely occasional commenter. I had the joy, recently, of someone else addressing a further comment (a response, perhaps?) to my comment, in the Blue State thread for Richard Rodriguez, challenger for CA-25 congressional seat.
That being said, I HAVE met “mommybrain” face to face… at the local foothill democrats meeting.
September has been a kind of overall productivity wash for me. Had great plans going into it, but my back said otherwise. Third chiro meeting today, with xrays. Possible disk herniation.
May I say to all of you from my ever-shifting sitting (lying) position, to please please please do exercises to strengthen your abs and core? I’ve got abs of marshmallows and experience current pain from it.
I suspect that enthusiastic readers of this blog are people who tend to spend lots of time in front of the computer, and therefore spend lots of time sitting, and therefore get our collective ire raised about what’s going on with our government, and may, as a result, neglect what’s going on with our midsections.
People. get up and stretch. Ignore this thread. Do some crunches. You don’t feel the damage until it’s made its way in… Symptoms don’t show up right away.
Okay, my little timer thingie says I must take a work break. So I will.
Welcome, Erin in Flagstaff… sometimes, if commenting seems a little too nerve wracking, posting at 238 (or thereabouts) can take a little of the pressure off…
I like to visit and read, don’t usually comment. I have been thinking a lot lately about the good old USA ….. and where we are now with torture, “sneak” attacks (some say pre-emptive strikes), gigantic corporations owning everything, incompetents running the show and getting so many killed for someone’s personal vendetta …. and now I begin to think it may change but if it changes by 52% ti 48% what does that say for almost half of the USA?? It is sad.
bumpster @ 32
Hey from Mudville??? CA-11? Me too!
Hey TRex, thanks for the nitely snark and laughter and thanks to Jane and Christy and HowieK and Pach and Jennifer and Watertiger all the guest bloggers and all the great regular commenters. FDL makes my day.
I am a sometimes lurker, sometimes participant glad to meet all of you.
Hello from northern California. I have posted a few times but my comments are lame compared to the passionate and brilliant people that post on this site. FDL is a genuine pleasure to read.
Oh, and by the way, its working. You have got me off my butt and working hard to put and end to this. I’ve had enough too!
TRex? A Pink Squirrel for me.
TRex- OT, but as you have special powers, could you please relay the message that folks are still asking for a snail mail address to contribute to funding for the M.T.Wheeler book? Comes up every time Jen Nix does a post. Not so many voices this time. I think they are getting discouraged… and that would be a shame.
Hi, all, I lurk here too. Hardly ever comment. I read FDL everyday and appreciate tremendously the wisdom, the passion and the wit of all who contribute. TRex, I appreciate you more every day! Jane and Christy, you are the best! Pachacutec - what an intellect! THANK YOU!
Pebble. Here in CT, Liebermanland, good info at your site.
Good writing. Good point of view.
Many thanks for the site.
Hi TRex, love your posts. FDL is my blog home. I come here several times a day. Sometimes I post, but mostly I read. I don’t know what it is about FDL. It’s the best.
OldCoastie @16 and 35
16: LOL, how could I forget.
35: The tried-and-true Billie Jean King strategy. Bet you Bobby Riggs was in better shape than she thought, tho.’
I admit it. I’m a lurker. You guys are one of the six or seven liberal blogs I frequent. I also read a few of the rightie blogs (as painful as that sounds), primarily the rightie media watchdogs. I appreciate the work you folks at FDL put into the site.
So it looks like both Germany and Italy will be issuing arrest warrants for some of our CIA agents. One man’s “rendition” is another man’s “kidnapping”. Question for the lawyers: Now that we have the EU, if there’s an arrest warrant out for you in Italy, and you go on vacation to Spain, will they arrest you in Spain and ship you to Italy? I think the irony of it would just be too much to pass up.
Wossup y’all? I’m just a 24 year old dude that has been readin this site for almost a year now. I started when I was at gallaudet univ in dc; still reading back west in washington state. I find it intriguing that there’s a vast difference between the information presented on television as oppossed to the internet. Anyway, these articles offer incredible insight into the political process that wouldn’t be covered otherwise. I only wish I had the same eloquency with the written word that y’all do.
Am a long-time lurker. Thanks for the invite to drop my pebble. Recently moved up to Canada — hopefully this won’t be necessary for everybody. Keep up the good work, you guys.
Hey, longtime lurker, some time poster.
40 something (40 IS the new 20 right?) , married, one cat (and a few visitors :), restaurant owner, Silicon Valley.
Love this site, first thing I read in the morning. Then HuffPost.
My “morning coffee” before I hit the MSM.
If it weren’t for this site and others like it, I’d think I was a wacko. And I live in Northern California! I can just imagine what others in red state America feel like…hi to all. ( Anyone in Willow Glen, stop in for a free glass of wine :)
Valley Girl @ 54
VG, I will pass that on.
Frank Probst @ 61
doesn’t seem like all that retroactive immunity will necessarily transfer to other countries…
who could have imagined that?
BrendaStewart @

Hi, Brenda. Welcome to the Lake. Informed is what we aim to be when we’re done reading…but it never ends.
Valley Girl @ 55
TRex, I think you have my email from that road trip thing you did for Lamont. If no one else has a better idea, I can go get a PO box in my miniscule burg. The bad news is that it takes five days for mail to get from here to anywhere interesting. But if it will help,glad to.
Allow me to congratulate the Minnesota Twins for clinching at least a wildcard berth in the playoffs.
This team is a testament to teamwork and I love watching them. They remind me of us here at FDL.
Awesome.
ecb @ 48
OK I’m willing to handle this one. The linking button above comments is fine, BUT the easiest thing to do is just cut the whole link from the address line in your destination and just paste it int the comments like this:
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/badgers.php
or you can use the link button which first will prompt you to paste a link url (don’t double the http) and then it will give you a box to write a description of the link like badger animation
when you do this, always use the preview function to catch errors….
susan @ 62
I can’t tell you how relieved I was when I got to FDL. I was starting to honestly believe that I was the only person who could see that the Emperor and ALL of his minions were standing there stark naked. It was Jane and Christy who made me realize that I was far from alone.
YAY, FDL!!!
Re my comment @ 49. oops. my bad. Robert Rodriguez. I think I went to high school w/ someone named Richard Rodriguez.

That is rather an understatement of your contributions here — which I always read closely and value….
I’m a Canadian who is shamelessly addicted to the horrible fascination of American politics.
Hello from Va. I have been reading your site for about a year now. I never comment because I suck a writing, as should be obvious. I really enjoy your work. Please keep it up as long as your sanity will allow.
LindyH! How goes the battle?
Howdy, folks, Desmo here. Sometimes computer guy, sometimes free-lance writer. I live on Whitefish Lake in Montana, I’m fairly close to Tester and Schweitzer, and I’m active in local Dem politics.
I’m not a lurker by choice, it’s just that I so seldom have anything to add. If the discussion is about Jon Tester, I’ll jump right in!
Thanks for all you do at FDL, which is an incredible addition to Blogosphere.
Enjoying the view from Mpls… :)
say… I guess shrubya never made it down to NO for the Saints game… that is a crying shame… I was really looking forward to the crowd’s reaction!
T Rex,
exactly the sort of gracious welcome and invitation one would expect from a properly raised Georgia boy . . .
we are everywhere . . .
I met one of our lurker/readers at work last week - talking about blogs with a guest she asked me about a name, how did I come up with mine
told her I used to have a full name, but it’s been reduced to cbl for efficiency’s sake
“OMG, there’s a cbl over at Firedoglake, are you her ? gawd I love that place !
So Medicaid Gal, now’s the time, tonight’s the night
Looks like everyone is getting into the “making fascism fun again” spirit.
Thailand “hot girls” conga for coup troops.
-GSD
Welcome FDLurkers! Great to see so many new handles here.
Looks like you’re slowing down a bit, though; c’mon, jump in! The lake is warm.
OT - I’m sorry, but every time Colbert puts Lieberman’s face on his show, it makes me happy.
Firedoglake is my favorite blog, and I’ve recommended it to many people. I hardly ever post a comment, because so many others put my thoughts into words better than I can. I’ve donated to several candidates from this site, and gotten inspiration to write letters and emails to my senators. My congressman is a corrupt Republican (Ken Calvert) and I don’t waste time trying to appeal to him.
Back to lurking…but I visit at least once a day.
TRex @
37
I wonder about the script. Did they have a guy with a voice like one for the trucking school commercials that says: “Are you good with tools? Know how to tie good knots? Like electric drills? Enjoy water sports? Like meeting new people in exotic places?
“Come on down! To beautiful Virginia!”
Thanks TRex- and, another related thought to pass on, which I should have added before- imho, if and when a snail mail address can be garnered, it would be great to put it out there in a post that also gives an update on the M.T.Wheeler book. Might just give another bump to contributions for the book.
Holy crow– this is an impressive cocktail party. Thanks TRex for inviting all of us and yes, I would like a mojito.
So many new friends to meet.
Hiya everyone!
Me, I’m a lurker who’s never posted here before.
thanks for the invite.
Cheers
i have de-cloaked occasionally. mostly i lurk, loving the orchestration of the distinctive personalities, excellent writing. FDL has created a unique epistolary form. Decades from now, dissertations will be written on rhetorical analyses of the invention of an art form that saved a political generation. unless the bushies diebold us forever. then there won’t be any more libraries. Thank you, everyone.
imm- you are up past your usual bed time. What gives? And, are you looking forward to the M.T.Wheeler book as much as I am?
I’m just here for the free snark. Do I have to say something, or can I just get mine and run away?
(Oh, and I echo what KarenSC @84 said. If you had dumber commenters I might need to speak up more often. But the Rocket Surgeons here seem to have it covered.)
Ga @ 88
dang. that is impressive and I hope you are right about the positive outcome!
I’ve been on the blogs for a long time; I started about the time Billmon began his blog. I’ve been in lurker mode for months. I think I’m just a better listener than a talker.
TRex, you just rock. There’s no other way to put it. I love your scaly hide and I can’t get off the net until your late night posts.
Of course, that’s not something I’d say every night because, you know, that would be gushing.
(I’m a fellow Georgian, living up here in Dawsonville, the birthplace of ridge running, about thirty miles from Deliverance country. Yeehaw, y’all.)
Balrog, are you from MN?
Hello, this would actually by my 2nd post on FDL. My 1st one was on the topic of torture. thanx for the nice welcome. RMD
KarenSC -
I have an idiot congresscritter who made the top 20 most corrupt list (Gary Miller - R, CA). I write him monthly just for the practice and drill of it… after having called his office several times and getting what sounded like teenagers, I figure they must read the emails also and needed an education…
Fun! BIG fun! (just brings out the teacher in me)
Consider this my pebble at the grave of the George Allen campaign.
I lurked for awhile before making comments and the act of commenting does help in making you quicker in responding. Snarking with Trex is a good way to get started.

Go Webb! Arianna on Colbert now!
immanentize @ 69
Okay practice makes perfect right? I wrote this the other day after playing around with you guys. The local paper edited a little bit, but I’m still proud of myself. Typically the only person who critizes Bush in the local letters to the editor is my step-dad. After being inspired here I thought I’d add to his voice…and his collection. He has all of his in big frames on the walls! Let me knoe if it works and thanks for the help!
GSD @ 35:
What kind of intelligence are we talking here?
I post a comment here infrequently, and think this site is truly one of the best anti-W sites on the internets-Shakes Sis as well
Isn’t it interesting how all these articles and stories about the NIE showing how W’s policies have increased the threat of terrorism, and how badly the US military is being run under Rumsfeld’s direct leadership, are coming out just when Rove’s National Security strategy was starting to slightly pay off for the Pres & GOP?
It’s time to pull an October Surprise on Karl Rove, and turn his strength of a deep memory coupled with galling hubris & arrogance into the weakness it really is
And Rove’s National Security Strategy is about the easiest agenda to debunk & disprove, W’s policies are actually increasing the long-term threat of more terrorist attacks through not only his policies, but absolute encouragement of corporate corruption on a massive scale, one that makes even the Milosevic & Hussein Crime Empires look like pikers instead
I say a sustained effort by as many blogs as possible during October & leading up to the elections would be a great way to motivate the Dems to show as much institutional spine and fire as the Slick One did with that ultratwerpy neocon media uberwhore, Chris Wallace
Pre-empt Rove before he can unleash the October Slime Campaign, hit him to the point he’s having to defend the Administration instead of distract by attack as he usually does, and then REALLY pour it on him, W & The GOP
And just to really rile up the W tards, stain your fingers purple after voting in November, just use either a marker or an inkpad, and if the local press is around, show that finger proudly when voting against the Neocon Agenda & it’s political operatives
The ONLY things offered by the W Administration are more death, misery, pain, anguish, destruction, torture and massive corruption, conditions I think the vast majority of the voters are tired of living under, both here and over in Iraq, a populace totally undeserving of the brutality W’s desire to overthrow Saddam Hussein-and thereby show up Bush Sr in the process-has had inflicted on it after suffering for decades under a vicious US Backed Mideast Dictator
If the blogs pull together, and give the Dems moral and ethical support, and a desire to finally and strongly fight back against the people who have made such a bloody bollocks of having all the political power levers in their hands for the past 4 years, then even Diebold won’t be able to save the GOP’s asses this time around
But it takes a spine and an entire party, not just a few courageous types like Feingold, Durbin, Leahy Kennedy, Conyers & Miller, and if the Dems don’t have the strength to challenge in a political campaign, why should anyone trust their inner strength at crucial times?
Fight back and don’t apologize Dems, THAT’S what real leadership requires in this case
Again, you all here at FDL give us a badly needed platform these days, and from this liberal, it’s GREATLY appreciated
carolyn13 @ 92
Random off-topic — I grew up in GA, too (folks live in Savannah). Went to school in south carolina, though, and kayaked down the river featured in Deliverance (the Chatooga) many times.
Um, yeah. Glad that the only thing you guys know about me is the Deliverance thing. Damn.
CT Bob @ 83
Heya Bob! I like stopping by your place too.
On the theme of reaching out to lurkers and to others in our extended “offline” community - a few days ago I made a suggestion that FDL should add a new item to their CafePress materials -
FireDogLake Business Cards.
Members of the FDL community could buy the cards at a reasonable price and distribute them to friends, acquaintances, colleagues; we could leave them in hotel lobbies, in waiting rooms and elevators across our communities.
The cards would be simple and elegant, with a FireDogLake logo, the address and a pithy and intriguing quote to entice people into checking out the website. Something like “Had Enough? So Have We. FireDogLake” Or “The Website That Scares George Bush. FireDogLake.Com” There are thousands of even better quotes, I’m sure. Jane and Christy could promote the cards with a special banner leading to the CafePress webpage.
If we all bought the cards, and handed them out with abandon, so many more people could find out about FDL.
And the invitation to join FDL is more powerful when it comes from a friend, and is accompanied by something tangible and authoritative, like a business card. It is one thing to stumble onto FDL through a link on the internet or to hear a stray mention on television. It is another entirely to learn about it from a friend.
FDL Outreach. Now is the time.
It’s so great to “hear” from all of you. Please don’t always be shy, though I know not everyone wants to comment. Still, whatever your thoughts, they mean - you mean - a lot to us.
I post only occasionally - mostly because I hit at least comment 100 by the time I read the post and anything I might have said has already been expressed — and better than my pedantic prose. I have FDL on my RSS feed and visit at least twice a day. Always look forward to posts here :-)
Hi from Naples, Fla- Bastion of Republicanism and $$$. If it weren’t for FDL (and other blogs), Olbermann, and my local Democratic Club- I’d have lost my mind long ago! This week is goo-o-o-d, and it’s only Monday! Luv dat Big Dog! And that’s nothing like the Dawgs, TRex– after all, I’m a Gator! But I will say, I loved reading all the R.E.M. blogging- brought me back to my college days in Hogtown- :)
KingCrankey -
I’m thinking a good case of kidney stones would be a nice surprise for Rove come October… he’s had ‘em once and that is the kind of thing that tends to come back at the most inopportune times..
I’m a progressive blogger with White House press credentials. Here’s an account of my latest encounter with the Snowman.
Hey TRex
I’m still a lurker by trade though not as often lately, damn bills have been cutting into my time.
Thank you for all the great work and everyone at FDL for all you have done for us in CT and for your continued efforts.
You motivated me to get to Meridan last summer being a fossil I don’t get out much and I had a great time. I took the next day off and worked the poles in Waterbury and in my home town. I hope to work the poles again in November.
I’ve been sending everyone I know to FDL and to you CTBob.
You get me that drink I’ll get you some eats.
