    Lurkers. They're here to find information about Arcanum.


    Does "Lurker" sounds like a breed of dog to you?

    "What kind of dog do you have?"
    "A lurker."
    "Where is it now?"
    "I've no idea."

    This lurker joke is from Mil's website:
    http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mil.millington/

    Visit it - it's very funny. Especially "Things my girlfriend and I have argued about".

    Hey kc that is an insult to dogs. I guess people are worried that other readers will think their post is stupid. They just need to read some of Ioo's posts to disabuse them of that notion.

    I think they just want to have their nick ready and waiting just in case. Though it's bad when someone who would contribute to the forum can't get the nick he'd like to because it's reserved.

    I think that's an insult to lurkers on the web... but hey, that's not my idea! That's Mil's joke :smile:

    And I love dogs too. I treat them as my best friends. Too bad the place I live in don't allow pets.

    They eat dogs in korea...I couldn't eat a dog...I can eat cows, pigs and sheep, but not dogs. I wonder why that is...I think I'd rather not know, or even think about that actually...

    Strange, I hit the quote button and didn't do anything manually, and yet it messed up... must be Jinxed's evil deeds... Actually we don't eat dogs in Russia... not around the part I lived in anyway... And I don't see what's wrong with it though... if you have nothing to eat, why not dogs? Better than people, I suppose...

    I think they mean 'eating a dog' in a different way than you, Jar. Not everyone let's their dog pleasure them, y'know.

    Looks like you will never forget that statement by Jar about his dog. Not that I mind though. It's hilarious. :lol:

    That's just plain sick. Back to the topic. I was a little scared to post when I joined the site. I don't know why. The worst you could do is curse me out, unless you are a TA moderator.
