:pulls up a chair:

Now this is getting interesting.

Give him an extra lash for me.

I WILL NOT BE IGNORED EITHER.

C’mon **Jack** admit it, it was my hair that made you speechless. 😉

System overload … can’t deal …

**Bottle of Smoke** stealing my thoughts - **Zoggie** threatening me with a pick axe or sex, whichever comes first - **Zenster** hogtying me, ripping off his face, and whipping me with God knows what - **Snooooopy** egging him on and casting aspersions on my hands, **magdalene** winking me into a stupor - **The Mermaid** blowing kisses at me and apparently counting lashes - **Rasa** with her blonde hair, chanting “latex, whipping, kinky sex, latex, whipping, kinky sex” - All while Guido the Attention Pimp is shaking me down for his 60%.

What? You think I can’t handle it? You think I’m about to crack?  
Ha! Narcissism is my middle name! I laugh in the face of modesty!

And just to be a total asshole, I posted in the [Thread for people who don’t get mentioned in flirty threads!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=55619).

As anyone who went to Folsom St. with me knows, I see nothing wrong with allowing a cute mistress with a whip to have her way with my bare back.

Did you ever see the pictures, **magdalene**? She disciplined me but good. I was a bad boy, you see.

I have to see this thread bumped up. You see, I am in need of some cheering up. In fact I am in dire need of being cheered up. Quite desperate in fact. I need a man like, **you** , Jack.

Or if he’s not around, I’ll settle for Snoooopy. :o

I was going to bitch about this thread not dying a dignified death, but now you got me feeling all guilty-like.

I’ll do what I can (keeping in mind of course that my lovely wife will probably read this thread). 🙂

Seriously, this whole thread makes me blush like a schoolgirl. I have appreciated all the unwarrented attention (which I begged for) and this shameless flirting makes me feel ten years younger. And my wife is actually benefitting from it, because I feel so guilty flirting back, that she gets it in spades, if you see what I mean.

But … Hey **Zog** , What’s the troubles?

Jack you little schoolgirl, you!! 😉 I can just imagine you, dolled up a la Britney…k, I’ll cease with the imaginings, shall I?

See, the SD solves marital probs.

My problems? Other than my pining away for you? Oh, stress mainly…midterms next week and Friday I have a lot of stuff due and…you know, the woes of being a student. I think i’m going to head off to sleep though. You’re not going to get much sleep though…you’ll be running through…alright too cheesy, I won’t finish. Oh what the hell. Through my dreams all night. :):):)🙂

Ooh Jack, ya liked Titanic, did ja? Or so I am led to believe judging from the title of your newest thread. Course, i haven’t looked yet…

Yes, I liked _Titanic_ very much, much to **Crunchy Frog** ’s dismay. However that thread is somewhat of a relic, having been archeologized by some one.

P.S. - I just got a new, really crappy digital camera. As soon as I take a picture of myself that I like, and comes out good, I shall have my own People Pages page. Then you can possibly reconsider that crush of yours.

Glad to see you’ve made the leap. I, too, have joined the People Pages after having been on the board for several months. Maybe if I get crazy, I’ll submit a flogging pic.

Yeah, I should have posted that pic that **Sue D.** took of my at the Omni-fest (what I refer to as the Fabio pose). But I lost it in an email shuffle. Instead, I got this $99 camera for signing up with Earthlink. It takes the absolute crappiest pictures in the history of photography, but it works in principle. So far I’ve taken about ten pictures of myself - ten of my dog - and few homeless people in my neighbor hood. The pic I posted of myself is the weirdest one I came up with, but Mrs. Batty said she liked it, so there it went.

P.S. - this thread seems to have more legs than the Rockettes.

With the Super Bowl party coming up, all of us should be planning the ways in which we will be paying attention to Jack Batty at the party (God knows the game won’t need much of our attention).

It could involve flogging.

Hmm. Well, I’d sit on his lap and flirt shamelessley with him, but his new pic makes him look deranged. I’m afraid to be in the same room as him!

(Note: Jack doesn’t really resemble that pic, IIRC.)

[sub]That and he’s married (Hi Mrs. Batty!) and oldscratch might not like that idea…[/sub]

Rasa, how do you that every time you’ve seen me that _that’s_ not the way I really look. Huh? I gotcha there don’t I?

No, I won’t be hosting any dance contests in my lap, but I will accept any chicken wing chucked it the general direction of my mouth.

Jack, dude. I have _no_ idea what that first sentence means… but after much pondering, I assume it means “How do you know I always look like that IRL?” Heehee… ok you win. I don’t.

Warming up my chicken wing flingin’ arm as we speak…
