lurker

Even as I delight in others’ connecting over the internet, I remain a confirmed lurker.

Thrun was no r/RealTesla lurker; he was on his fifth Tesla, and he said he admired the company: “What Tesla has is really beautiful. They have a fleet of vehicles in the field.”

But while trading Mancini seemed like something of a white flag for the Orioles, they have continued winning since, clinging to their role as the unlikeliest lurkers on the outskirts of the AL wild-card race.

In one mordant joke, he trails a woman into a park, inadvertently makes eye contact with another lurker, then hastily conceals himself when the woman’s date shows up.

Certainly not the late-night lurker and his crying wife, and definitely not the stomping dirt trackers.
