Nope. Still not doing the job. Maybe a D+, if I’m feeling generous. Keep trying, though.

Given the barrage of mash notes and kudos that fall upon **ETF** on any given day, she might not notice. One only has so much time, after all.

It’s like he’s not even trying. After he showed such promise in the OPs **Ilsa\_Lund** linked to.

You also have to remember that she has three sets of ears with legs (four if you count the quick tall one) that keep her busy, too. I only have a life because I generally ignore my furballs (calm down, calm down…there are four other people in the house to spoil them).

Well, actually, if you count everyone, including the two-legged servitor of the herd, I have… mmmmmmm… (takes off shoes) … um, 20 ears and, ah, 38 legs.

Aren’t you glad I don’t use my full name on this board?

Dang it, **ETF**! The fact that it’s YOU who owns all those animals keeps me from making a terrific joke. If it were **Blackacre** who had them I could make a comment about The Ass Menagerie and get all kinds of kudoi for it…

That thread’s been removed. I saw it though, and I’d like to know: why in the Name of God’s Throbbing Prostate is this character still on the boards? Mod’s have said it’s trolling; it breaks rules left and right; it’s just nasty. What the fuck?

Perhaps he´s Cecil´s annoying, heavy cousin?, you know like that oligofrenic charcater in the movie Christmas Holidays with Chevey Chase?.

I’m surprised Blackacre is still around too. The mods really keep everyone in line and I think they are being a bit lenient with this guy.

It’s a simple story, really. **Dex** , **Czar** , and the others were on a three-day bender after the evil one was re-elected. This fine looking fellow clutching a copy of the complete works of Cecil (blessed-be-his-name-forever) strolled into downtown Chicago and volunteered his services. The rest, as they say, is history.
