How much time do you think it takes to post 24 posts a day? My posts aren’t typically long; just short thoughts on a subject. I get out plenty, thanks for the concern. 🙂 inb4 unemployment joke. ---

> [@AClockworkMelon](#): > > Why should you care if you’re on my radar or not?.. Well, now that you mention it… It seemed that you kinda figured he would care when you pulled the whole “And you are?..” type shit. It’s not just you who does it. I noticed a lot of posters pull that shit, and it is silly because, 1. you can always kinda tell that they know exactly who the person is and is just trying to sound all above it all. and 2. because no one cares if random interenet posters know who they are or not. I mean, most likely, no one is going to care about that unless they really like or respect a certain poster or whatever. So yeah. Can it with the “and you are?..” stuff. Anyways, I never noticed you posting too much. I guess most of your posts are pretty interesting. And now that the dope is the only thing not blocked from work, I thank my lucky stars for anyone who keeps the new posts rolling in. ---

This is what message boards will look like in the future. 140 character or less posts on their butt sniffings. I’d rather create bite-sized posts than tl;dr rants on every thing that catches my attention. I mean, with the exception of **Nzinga** , all the posts in this thread have been shorter than my average post size (I think). ---

Up there with the dog’s bollocks, I tell you. Now that we’re mocking British colloquialisms, can I just say how annoying the British use of “sorted” is? I watch and listen to a lot of British programs, and it’s always “I’ve got to get dinner sorted” and “Get yourself sorted!” and “Really, I’m sorted now” and sorted this and sorted that. It makes you Brits sound like a bunch of obsessive-compulsives who have to keep rearranging their belongings using different sorting methods. ---
