Inspired by @OHMommy (Pauline of Classy Chaos) I am donating 1$ per commentor to the Haitian relief effort. I will cap at $100. If anyone wants to match my funds email me at annsrants.comHusband and I have learned a few things during our 13 years together:
1. We don't know each other as well as we thought.
2. We don't know each other at all.
3. Who the hell are you?
Readers, you and I have learned a few things during our 13 (ok 15) months together:
1. I think I'm pretty funny
2. If you're still reading this you think I'm kinda funny. Maybe even HaHa Funny.
3. Are you still reading this?
So, it's Delurking Day and I wish to hear from you. Consider it bloggy feedback. Would you like me to come off stage, do a few neck rolls and just hang loose with you? Can I answer any questions? No, you may not see my spoon-thumbs. Yes, despite being vehemently anti church and state, I did once play the virgin Mary in the state capitol rotunda. Sue me. IT WAS THE LEAD.
You! You in the back with the ANNSRANTSDANCE! sign? Yes? Pretell? Oh. You just want me to dance. Got it.
Hammer!Hammer! I AM. Hammer! They put me in the mix!
**please delurk.really. this is exhausting. Leave a comment. Ask A Question. Emoticon. High 5?

Do you still remember your lines as the Virgin Mary?
Neil, it was a tableaux. I had to sit still and stare at a babyjesus lightbulb. I was two stories off the ground. Literally, not metaphorically.
Hi there!
I'm delurking to say that you are too thin.
I am delurking, as requested. I think you are funny as H E Double hockeysticks and I have fairly high standards for funny. I found you through anymommy. I'm at adayjustliketoday but I'm a newbie.
@hokgardner Howdy!
@Suzy and you have too many followers
@autumn Welcome to bloggyville! Thanks so much for reading.
Does it count as delurking if I've never lurked here before?
Stumbled here and laughed out loud enough to elicit a comment out of my lazy fingers.
I'll have to come here more often and lurk to make up for my delurking post.
Nice to meet you. Thanks for making a worn out mommy end my day with a laugh.
Love it, Anne! It's not the same as living next door, but Ill take it. ;) kara
Here I am. So happy to have met you at Cupcake 10. I love this. Knowing bloggers IN PERSON.

I don't know if it counts as delurking when I've commented here before...but what the heck, hey there!
Also, I believe it was a comment I made on your blog that led Someone to find my blog, which led to all kinds of truly cosmic happiness going on here at Casa de Crazy, so...cheers!!
Shade and Sweetwater,

Howdy.
Hi!
I love finding a blog with my type of humor! It is great. I'm just starting in the blog world. Still learning, and you are hilarious! Thanks!
Stacy
** Waving!! **
You have only been blogging for 13 or 15 months? Wow. I love you. *Hat tip*
you are so funny that if I don't have a witty comment I just lurk! Sorry and Suzy is right your too thin! Have a great weekend!
Hi! I was thinking of doing a book report on this awesome book called "Yiddish for Babies." Ever heard of it? :)
Seriously, that book is hilarious and my boys have new names they are using for each other. At least I know that deep down, they really do love each other.
so you just think you can wield your power like a garden hose (not sure that was the appropriate simile or even a simile at all. God help me, my grammar has disappeared into a large black hole) and your minions will come out to play?
seems to have worked pretty well! i wonder if my minions (if i had minions) would do me the same honor.
[/lurk]
always reading but now delurking to prove it.
hope all is well.
Hi.
I came over from Elizabeth (boy crazy) one day (I think...) and I've loved reading what you dish out ever since!
Whazzzzzuuuuuuuup!
If this showed up in my reader AFTER delurking day - does that mean I'm off the hook?
Who decides when it's delurking day anyway? Is there some kind of committee? And if I start seeing it on my calendar, does that make it a Federal holiday? Or is it more like Valentines Day or Teacher Appreciation Day? In that case, I blame Hallmark.
So much to consider...you always make me think, Ann.
This isn't really delurking because me reading you is as sure of a thing as me drinking coffee in the morning.
So... HI!!!!
Hi Ann. I'm here. Always. I just cant get out of my reader, it's so cozy there. Tell me what motivates you to click out of your reader to comment?
I invented an emoticon just for your blog today!
>>>&%#*($^@(#$^@(!!!!
I won't bother explaining it because its meaning is soooo obvious, I know.
Right?
XO
A.
I guess I do lurk on your site. Hmmm. That's strange. I need to keep a log of who I comment on more often and who I read but don't comment on. It doesn't seem fair.
Anyway. Yo.
I do not consider myself a lurker. I post comments when I have anything to add to your hilarity.
Like: I've been married for twenty seven years. And I still wake up to a stranger regularly.
I totally comment when I come around! :o)
**skulks in stage right and exits stage left**
You already know i think you are hysterical. You BETTER stay on the stage! I always love the references to the Jewish stuff - especially when they are combined with embarrassing memories from grade/high school. I relate to so much of what you say which is why you consistently have me laughing out loud. And I often forward your posts along to friends/family.
I always comment to you directly but will try to post my comments for all to see instead so I can be a more public lurker :)
$&@$)"!?$) You found me out!! *runs and hides in a new place*
Bossy is too tall to lurk. Not in any meaningful way, in any case.
I had no idea it was Delurking Day until you mentioned it. I feel like I should have baked a cake or something..
DeLurking!
As usual I'm a day late and a dollar short for this delurking thing. But for a buck I'll do pretty much anything. I'm all cheap and usable like that. So - HAI, Haiti. Get better soon.
(P.S. I think it should be noted that NOBODY de-lurked on my blog yesterday at all. Including you.)
Yo. Yeah, you caught me. I'm definitely a devout lurker, usually b/c I don't have anything clever to say. You'd know that if you read my bloggy.
Ha...nice trick, huh? You're just dying to go take a look, aren't ya? Today's a good day for some eye-candy.
I never lurked. I came. I saw. I stalked... and am still stalking.
I think maybe I have commented before. Basically, I'm just here for the stories.
I love your humor! Your posts are so entertaining! Will definitely keep coming back!
So which was more difficult, play Mary or playing Virgin ;-)
i'm not a lurker
i'm a regular
i suppose i cant comment then
ok
i wont
Lurk! Lurk? I don't lurk. I stalk... at least when I'm not pillaging, looting and being an @$$h@t in general
A day late and a dollar short but here I am.
Hi-Ya! Great meeting you this past weekend!!!
If I followed you home and looked in your windows after that night out in Madison, does that make me a lurker?
OK then.
HI!
I'm too chatty for lurking.
Like you didn't know that already.
Because I can't stop talking.
Still talking.
Hi.
Stunningly Funny you are....Is it cataching on yet?
Will you pay a dollar if I START lurking? Because that sounds sort of fun.
I think you are definitely "ha ha" funny!!!
What up, yo? D tothe Lurking. :)
I love the way you express yourself. Thanks so much for doing it in such a great way! XOXX
I lurk and I'm late. That sucks.
I'm commenting again just to make you spend another dollar. And here's a thought: JUST SEND THE $100 AND STOP MAKING US WORK FOR IT.
You played Mary in the state rotunda. Wow! The closest I ever got to playing lead was Irate Villager #3 in my 6th grade production of Robin Hood.
Delurking to because that was a really nice dance. Really. :) Also, I lurk a lot. Sorry.
Hot diggity...am I delurking...Am I lurking???? I'm always here...scary isn't it. Well I've known you for how many years now??? I know you a little better now..but what has remained the same since the day we first met??? I still want your awesome hair... Yes...I know, I'm annoying. But as a gal with the Jewess curly hair that gets nasty frizzy...you Jewess with the gorgeous shiny beautiful hair...well...I'm jealous.
Okay...I'll go now. Hope to see you soon! And seriously...I'm not that scary..am I??? AM I???
Okay then.
And yes...I had a crap-load-of-caffine again today...and no sleep last night...
Hats off to you on the Haiti donation!
xo
I'm not a complete lurker, but I did want to say hi. I love this place. And I admire the $$ for comments.
I am a day late and hopefully it still counts. Love that you are donating per comment.
You made me delurk-I didn't want to do it. I didn't want to do it. You made me delurk-and all the time you knew it. I guess you always knew it. (as sung to the tune of a song you're probably too young to know)
But a buck is a buck.
And P.S. Have been married 29 years. But I love the guy anyway. (Pull!)
Between you and Cathy I know I can find a laugh somewhere every day...other than in the mirror. (P.S. Cathy- I know that tune)
OK, Question: What's the angriest rant you've ever done?
Long time reader, sporadic commenter. You have kept the blog mojo going strong!
So funny and generous! :)
Well hey there pretty lady. You know I'm always hanging in the shadows. I'm the one throwing spitballs because I'm jealous of your hair.
1) I think you're entertaining.
2) Here visiting at this very moment.
3) Still coming back again another day.
Damn, why didn't I do this?? Always an inspiration, Ann!
p.s. And "lurking" ? ..... ha! How am I going to let everyone know that "it's not about you, it's about ME!" if I lurk?!?
As if.
i've just had the chance to read some of the blogs in my reader. long week, little sleep, didn't delurk as much as i wanted.
anyhoo - hi. i hope you're warm. keep it up. i'm glad i found you.
Sweet Jesus look at all these friggin comments! I suppose I'll throw mine in as well, even though I'm a few days late. I'll admit, I lurk here more often than not. I always read your posts, but comment only occasionally. Why is that? Hell if I know.
Regardless, you crack me up with your goofy sense of humor so, I'll keep reading/lurking and sometimes even commenting. So, there you go.
Waving and delurking and HI I think you're pretty.
I'm all for the Haiti comment donation. Good job, Ann, and you are funny.

Gettin' my delurkin' on.
*shake shake shake*
Delurking for Haiti. And to join in the *shake shake shaking*
I miss all your posting.
Your life is getting too busy.
Do you miss the stage?
I pseudo-lurk. You should assume that I'm always reading, though, and never say anything mean about me.
Uh, I am Becky, keeper of all things pink and sparkly. I'm hoping to get the band back together any day now but will settle for the DISCO band because I lack musical talent. Want to join my band? We're merry pranksters, my band.
well sheesh! I come around because I think you are haha funny and I'll never forget meeting you at Blogher.... although I'm ashamed to say I don't always leave comments. so there.... commented!
Count me in!!
I like your blog. Mel
i am delurking late. but like elizabeth i like your hair. is that weird? thought so :)
I'm not a lurker. Do I count????
Love your sexy new site. I know you're just trying to get in before me, you bloody show off. Sconnie.
And if I do, like, 17 more comments, you'll reach 100 but does that count??
