I love members. Some of my best friends are members. Members come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and i think they're all delightful. They're fun, they're sensitive, they're exciting... and if you treat them nicely, they'll reward you, time and again! I just can't get enough of those members!

In Response to Dynedain (#18702):

So, make your member answer the questions:

1. Hey!
2. Who is your member?
3. Why is your member a member?

And no answering for your member, your member has a mind of it's own.

...and just to satisfy everyone else, here's my members answers:

1. k m bhunz xswwfc r

2. WCRF 54 TG6YV6T V3Y

3. E 4DC BG vgtik j3e s

It appears my member has no basic english comprehension, and also has poor aim (hitting the tab and caps lock keys) so I had to help my member along a bit. I hope everyone understands.

Admittedly, it is not a question, however, it is a statement commonly used to provoke a response. Therefore, your member must respond.

Hey!

Yo.

Who are you?

Someone who is without a member.

Why are you a member?

The other option smells funny.

We want more members, and we especially want more exciting, excited, and excitable members. We live for the sheer pleasure of being able to: think, sense, believe, have, be, do, say, go, become, and know members.

Jesus loves Dick. I've realized that i really love members.

Are you totally convinced that i wasn't? I thought i took great efforts to be... conscientious of my semantics. You're the one who recently suggested that love might be plentiful from this direction. I'd not wish to disappoint. It pleases me when you, a member, and others are satisfied by my careful choice of words.

Sorry for sounding so serious. I was actually weeding out the Beavis & Butthead of us and seeing who was the first to continue the allusion to bestiality.

Well, tynic did; and i thought i did also, in a most round-about indirect fashion. However, as my obtuse stupor has perhaps led to the stupefaction of others, i will gladly elaborate-- not because you need to know anything about me, but rather because i enjoy responding when you and Zamphir prod.

Hey!

Hi high hi.

Who are you?

I could be a friend, i used to be a lurking presence, i'm presently a lurching fiend, and i suppose i would like to be a welcome source of stimulation. I'm a member.

Why are you a member?

I appreciate the benefits. Sundays are often a joy, sometimes a giggle. As much as i can relish being a member, the other options also have their appeal-- despite sometimes smelling funny. What does it mean if they smell like partially hydrogenated cottonseed and soybean oils with mono- and di-glycerides, combined with a smidgeon of cellulose gum, citric acid, methylparaben, glycerin, and propylparaben?

Some people feel that artificial members are just a substitute for real members. They're entitled to their beliefs, but i disagree. Artificial members are wonderful, amazing, often intensely delightful for their own reasons; real members may also be treasured, but i don't like to think of one as a replacement for the other. I prefer to enjoy each on its own individual merits, rather than try to discriminate between basically dissimilar marvels. I've heard folks say about members: "There's just nothing quite as fine as the real thing!" but i often feel the same sentiment towards artificial members. I believe that they, too, may be incomparably delectable.

Hey!

What....

Who are you?

Check the Fucking Voltron link [goats.com].

Why are you a member?

I've been a reader since 1997. I signed up for the forums before they were born. I remember Jon sending out Goats strips hoping for syndication only to be told it doesn't fit what they look for. I've lived through the sporadic early updates to a daily and now to three (and soon four) times a week. My homepage link to Goats is the old animated GIF. It's the first thing I read when I fire up my PC.

Becoming a member was a no brainer. I like the SPEY package but would have done it without the "free" stuff. I've got a drawer full of Goats shirts and a soon to come original strip coming.

It's the least I could do for the years of enjoyment Jon's given me.

I'm talking to all the lurkers. The roughly 100 people who appear to be SPs and don't post, and all the rest of the Preemies that don't post either.

He said "talk like a Vorlon" not "quote Vorlons".

So I'll have your pedant license, thanks.

And what the heck did I say that was Vorlon quote? Or are you confusing Vorlons and Vogons?
