**Jack Batty** is the tits. Are we still calling things we like “the tits,” or did we stop doing that in 1995? Edit: This thread is supposed to be about etv, probably should take a little rest, but is not in as dire need of a nap as others. ---

\*\*etv78 \*\*is just the first of a generation that grew up on Facebook. This is what message boards will look like in the future. 140 character or less posts on their butt sniffings. ---

Maybe I should start posting inane shit every three minutes - like my hat size or how I popped a boil on my nuts this morning - so I can hit your radar.

Lord knows my life wouldn’t be complete if I couldn’t squeeze my presence in between the 20 or so more posts you have planned for today. Why should you care if you’re on my radar or not? You seem to have a lot of bile for something as minor as my posting habits. I didn’t think I was that prolific until people on the board started mentioning it. ---

I’m not cranky. You wouldn’t like me when I’m cranky. I’m amused; and bemused. I’ve got nothing against you … I just can’t figure when you manage to squeeze in time for things like showering and seeing if the outdoors still exists.
