Chicago! Don't Be Weird! With the metafilter lurker who stopped me to say hello (did you say hello?) on the street last night please tell me who you are! Come on! Introduce yourself proper! You were a short haired lady with a nice bike and a friend who was laughing his haunches off.

So, somebody recognized you from Meta/Mecha on the street? This is both my greatest dream and my biggest fear.

I wonder who it was?

she said she was a lurker! i think i have a right to know!

posted by Mrs.Pants 05 April | 10:46

A lurker on a website who says hi in person on the street? Weird.

Very weird. Come out, lurker!

It's an odd feeling to have your Pants lurked. Reveal yourself! Join in the fun, anonymous one!

It wasn't me...oh wait, you know me anyway. : )

Come on out, lurker! We don't bite...well, maybe we do on request. ; )

you bike away very quickly!

DAMN YOU INTERNET! stop giving me the creepies!

and nope, i have no clue who this person is, but i figured she was a mecha person......JINKERS!

posted by Mrs.Pants 05 April | 12:53

Mrs.Pants, she probably wasn't laughing AT you, she was probably laughing at herself for recognizing you.

Oh shit! That was totally me. I felt like such a dork. I'd had a few beers at Handlebar; if it weren't for the beers, I probably wouldn't have said anything. So, here's my proper introduction: Hello, Mrs. Pants!

Btw, I was only laughing because I felt like a dork and was worried that I'd freaked you out.

posted by jrossi4r 05 April | 16:16

Smich, I think it's really cool that you recognized and greeted Mrs.Pants. Hope y'all can have a beer someday, and that you don't weird her out. Because she's really cool.

And also, welcome.

(Wait, I'm the cornqueen??)

the queen of corn knowledge!

and the queen of saying nice things about me!

*blushes*

*flees*

posted by Mrs.Pants 05 April | 16:24

Oh, THAT kind of CornQueen!

I accept the crown.

(And you need to start thinking some good thoughts about yourself, woman. Come on, already!)

posted by mudpuppie 05 April | 16:26

Thanks, all, for welcoming me. And thanks to Mrs. Pants for not being too weirded out. Y'all can ask Goatdog about me—we work together. I'm fairly harmless.

posted by smich 05 April | 16:40
