I'm going to start carrying one of those huge lanterns they had on all the US navy ships in WWII (and maybe still have), with the handles and louvers.
The only Morse Code I know is SOS, but if you see me carrying one of those around, you can probably guess who I am without the code.

But if you do that and there reading EG or have read it they may thing your a nut who think thats a great joke. Wait no problem with people thinking I'm crazy. Most people kinda think that already when I go out in my purple fairy shirt, what one more reason.

I'm in a similar situation at school actually... I think that Pixie goes here, and I emailed her when I was looking at the school last fall but we never met up. Now I'm pretty sure she's dropped off the forum (unless anyone has seen her lately? Pixie? You here?) and I'm not sure how to find her on campus. I know her first name, but I also know two girls in her year who have that name. The problem is that I've known them long enough in the school setting to randomly ask "hey, do you post as Pixie?" without weirding them out. Especially if I asked the wrong one...

I think I still have the foobonic album data, which includes pics of Pixie. This might resolve it before I have a chance to check, or if I don't, though: she's a redhead with bright red hair.

In order to determine whether or not the unidentified subject is a hatraracker or not, please adhere to the following script:
1) Remove a piece (or several pieces) of clothing 2) Wave the said piece(s) of clothing in the air 3) Ask the subject if, "you like my rack baby?" (The rack in this sentence, of course, is a reference to the phrase hatrack. Only a hatracker could know this).
There are two potential conclusions.
If the subject smiles and dances, you've met a foreigner to the hatracking community. However, if they slap you/ call security/ douse you in pepper spray, you know you've come accross a true friend. You may now proceed to ask him/her back to your house so you can get to know eachother a little better.

Hey, Anne Kate, I lost your phone number. I still want to hang out sometime. Not this Sunday (the fourth) but the Sunday after that, most likely several of my friends and me are going to lunch. Would you like to come?

"Ah, so you like OSC?" "Yeah, I've read a lot of his stuff." "Ever check out his website?" Answer is either "no" or "yes". If yes and no "I'm on the forums there", simply ask, "Ever check out the forums?" You don't have to give away how MUCH you are on the forums if they've never been.
'Tis really not that hard.

I just assumed ketchupqueen meant, like, rapping against a nearby wall or chair or something. Like if you're on a plane, you would be talking and tapping it out on your armrest. But then most people would end up thinking Hatrackers are a twitchy bunch and not want to join us.

Not cloak and dagger enough for me.

Well, if someone tried to be cloak and dagger with me, I wouldn't get it.
The point of conversation is communication. Not giggling like an 8-year-old because you put one over on someone.
