A) All about my exciting adventures in D.C.
B) How my hotel was ATTACHED TO A MALL. With an Banana Republic AND a Forever 21.
C) Some weird stories, involving foreign dignitaries, Fabio (yes, the Fabio), and a smarmy man named Chico.
D) How I just stumbled across the most genius and incredible lip gloss EVER. (No, for reals, this time.)
E) About the cutest bottle of hot sauce that you ever did see.
F) How I've been so busy lately I literally do not have time to pee.
G) About my scary obsession with a new SNL video (okay, I'll give you this one:)
BUT THEN!
I learned from a number of your blogs that it is Delurking Day once again. Or more specifically, it's The Great Mofo Delurking Day 2007. See?
I, for one, am incredibly excited, because the last Delurking Day enabled me to meet some hilarious people. Furthermore, I chose to honor the spirit of the day by inviting everyone, lurkers and "regulars," to ask me anything (with a few notable exceptions), which I answered in a subsequent Q&A post.
People, I LOVED your questions, and had the best time responding to them. I think it's high time for another Q&A, don't you?
So can you de-lurk, and fire a question my way? Pretty please?

I'm sometimes a lurker, so hello! My question pertains to something on your list...about literally not having time to pee. What's up with that? I just had a thought of that astronaut who supposedly drove across the country in diapers...
I think I have an even bigger crush on Andy Samberg now...
Oh, I have a question. Are you still planning to launch toopweets.com? Okay, I know, I'm forever bugging you about that. But you have that cool banner and all...
1. What is the story about Fabio? Did you ask him to say, "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter"?
2. What is your favorite SNL skit of all time?
I'm not really a lurker anymore but how on earth did you come up with the nick name toopweets?
I'm not sure if I'm technically a lurker, as I may have commented before - just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your blog! And, will we be seeing more karaoke any time soon?
I am delurking just for today to say how much I love your blog and also to ask for more information on the new lipgloss.
Coming out of lurking status ... even though I have commented once before. Mostly, though, I lurk.
Metalia, please tell me: Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
here's my question...how do you shop at forever 21??? i find it like one giant closet where clothes are scattered all over the place and there is no rhyme or reason or order to anything...
no? just me?
My question...
What is this lip gloss and where can I find it?
Love Andy Samberg...but not as much as Metalia.
What is T going to be for Halloween, and do you and J dress up to accentuate his costume?
No lurker am I.
I want to know how you find all of these HILARIOUS You Tube videos all the time?
Because you always make my day :)
I'm a relatively new lurker, but a lurker just the same. I found you by way of the lovely miss whoorl.
Okay, my questions are:
1) What is your favorite 90's song? (Because 90's music seems to own my life, at the given moment.)
2) Have you ever cried your way out of a speeding ticket? (Because I've always wanted to do that, but never had the opportunity.)
Oh, and I'm wishcake, by the way. Nice to meet you! Your soap opera story about your son's little toy guys made me cry laughing. Seriously.
I don't have a question for ya, but I thought I'd say hi since its de-lurking day and all! ;)
I've also commented once before but I guess since it's only been once I'm an official lurker. So hi!
I'm really, really tired so I can't think of a good question but here's a so-so one. Are you funny 24 hours a day? I mean, does your husband just sit over in the corner laughing at you all the time? Does it seem like toopweets is going to be as funny as you? Because you are hysterical.
So I kind of lurk. I have a question-- how many times did you lovingly watch "Andy pops into frame?" I am fairly sure I must have seen it about 200 times now.
Soo...I read your blog all the time but have commented rarely. Does this make me a lurker? Maybe! Awkward!!
Any question you say? Hm. Can you tell us the story of how you and J met?
I comment more than lurk but I don't know if that makes me a regular. One day! I hope! :)
Okay.... so, I have two questions: The hardest you can ever remember laughing? And, what is one memory that made 17 worth it?
(Also, don't you love how the de-lurk buttons are in MULTIPLE COLORS so as to match our lovely sites better? I totally do.)
Delurking for today! Hello!
Deeeeelurking! :) Hi!
Official lurker here, first comment! So... if you could totally kick ass on one karaoke performance, what song would it be, and who would be in the audience?
Delurking to say hi!
I'm not a lurker, but I have a question.
Where can I find a decent cotton or cotton-blend crewneck sweater for fall.
Because, seriously? I have searched the entire EFFING planet.
This lurker is curious as to what you do at your job. I assume it is something that utilizes your great sense of humor and writing skills. Please give us a hint.
I think all my questions have been covered, but I just wanted to delurk and say, "Hi."
Delurking because I must now more about that mall that was attached to your hotel. I am amazed. That sounds awesome!!! (Note my enthusiasm)
I don't lurk I lick.
I've been lurking since BlogHer; I started reading you after Emily said you were rooming together. I am far too tired to ask an amusing question, so you will have to take my word for it that normally I am incredibly witty and charming. Instead I will ask you how you got a blog template that is not a standard Blogger one. Did you do it yourself?
de-lurking for the day to say 'hi!' and leave a question:
flashback to high school: If you were to start a club, what would the subject matter be, and what would you name it?
I'm not technically a lurker, but I feel compelled to comment because isn't this how we met? When you left a comment on my delurking post?
MONGERIE!
xoxo
Favorite pair of shoes. You can only choose one. (Cackles madly.)
I want to know, where did you get your great sense of humor?
I mean- you clearly "get it!" You like SNL, The Office, your posts are hilarious, etc.
I don't often meet people 5 years (or more) younger than myself that are on the same wave-length. Not to mention your love for the Scorps! Yeah. ;)
Are your parents funny? Did you watch a lot of late night television as a youngster? Tell me... I'm dying to know where you get your sense of humor.
Someone might've beat me to it, but you need to explain the Toopweets nickname.
Also, explain how you made such a painfully cute kid. I NEED THE RECIPE KTHXBYE
i won't ask a question because CLEARLY you have too many to answer.
just was trying to comment before midnight and sadly, i missed the deadline.
just so typical.
I'm not really a lurker, but... eh.
My question: How the frick did you get to be so awesome???
Never have been to your site before now... so not technically a lurker, but HI!
Girl, why you so crazy? Seriously, I would love to know do you laugh at yourself as you put together a blog entry. Like when you insert hilarious graphics, pictures you doodle on, and videos. i can picture you hovered over your computer searching frantically on the internet for the perfect photo to bring your story alive. Just wondering. do you ccrack yourself up?
Because I remember EVERYTHING (or, rather, because I remember all sorts of things I don't need to remember but can't remember most of the things I do need to), I actually thought of you several times yesterday, and kept saying in my head, "Lurky you" and "We mustn't lurk in doorways, dear... It's... RUDE."
OK. Questions. Well, obviously I need to hear about this new wonder-gloss. Spill it.
I'd just like to know what, exactly, is it about raisins that makes you hate them so? Because I am sad at the thought of you never enjoying an oatmeal raisin cookie.
Although, you'd probably be sad at the idea of eating an oatmeal raisin cookie.
I'm only kind of a lurker, i guess since i only comment sometimes. So, hi!
Ok, here's my question: If you could be a monkey... who would you fling your doodie at?
*crawling out of the shadows of the lurking cave*
*squints*
hi!...just wanted to delurk!
Unofficially delurking. My question is did you buy anything at Forever 21 or the Banana?
I'm not really a lurker. I guess at this point I'm more like stalking you all over the internet...but I wanted to ask you what I asked on my delurking post:
"When you were a child what did you want to be when you grew up?"
The world needs to know, I think.
Well, hello! I've never commented, but I've been reading you religiously since you guest-posted for Y on Joy Unexpected. You made me laugh like crazy then and you just don't stop! My question: what did you ever do with the pair of mysterious granny panties? You could sew them into a dress for Toopweets for Halloween! He could wear his Rod Stewart wig and go as an old lady! Awww...
Also, I'm a nanny, and we have the same set of train/people toys that you and Toopweets do! So that post was extra special for me, and playtime has not been the same ever since! I don't have the unsavory characters (did Mom sense their unsavoriness and take them out of the set?), but I do have three identically dressed construction workers...very fishy. I think they might be terrorists in disguise, as I smell a plot to blow up the local fire station. (Seriously, why is there a set of explosives in this set?!)
What's the lip gloss?!
D.C.! That's not far from me.
But I am lurky, so what're ya gonna do?
How did you meet your hubby?
Hello! I would like to know about smarmy Chico, please. That sounds like it's bound to be a hilarious story.
Metalia, I would like to know something about childbirth that NO-ONE is ever going to tell anyone about childbirth. Not that I'm planning on birthing any children anytime soon, but, you know, I'll just tuck the information away somewhere for later. However, please do not tell me if it involves accidentally pooping on the table. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
Well, duh - of course my question is going to be "WHAT IS THE MAGICAL NEW GLOSS??????"
ps, sorry I'm a day late on the comment, but I think I should get a pass since I'm not truly a lurker. :)
I think I have commented before but I think you need an even 50, don't you? Ummmm...I don't think I have a question. I enjoy your blog, though. Thanks for writing. I'll keep reading.
So, I realize I'm a bit tardy, but I'm hoping you'll forget the fact that I'm coming a little late to the party and embrace the fact that I showed up at all. So here's my question: What's your favorite curse word and why?
Who was your most tragic crush and why was it tragic?
