As of 07.17.00 at 3:39 PM Central Time, **oldscratch** presented his 665th post in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=31115). As of a few moments ago, oldscratch was up to 1050 posts. In other words, in less than eleven days, **oldscratch** has managed to litter this message board with 385 posts. That number yields an average of 35 posts per day. Fuck! I’ve been here for over five months and I haven’t posted as much in that time as he has in the last eleven days! Do you really think you have that much to contribute to the teeming million? Did all of your brains slip out of those ridiculously huge holes in your ears? What the fuck do you have to say for yourself? Oh yeah, happy fucking belated 1000th. ---

Well, hey, if he’s got so much free time, I need somebody to come over here and weed-whack behind the garage. Bonzo can’t figure out how to get more string to come out of the thing, and besides, Duke Nukem beckons. ---

I, on the other hand, am so busy that I do not have time to go around figuring out how many posts somebody else is averaging lately. ---

There are worse offenders than him. Like… ME, for example. 🙂 #7 on the post per day ratio list, #23 on post count. And tomorrow I leave this fabulous job! :o Esprix ---

When you have three seperate threads starring you in three days. Wow, I didn’t know you guys cared. If you must know, I really have nothing to do all day except sit here and post. Don’t worry, that should change next week. Also I only post between 8-6 pacific time, with some few exceptions. ---

Nen, I’d like to be the first here to say that you’re a fucking idiot. I saw the title, and I expected you to have some beef with him about something he said. Or at least, I expected there to be something of substance here. But this is **IT**? You devoted an entire thread to the fact that someone posts too much? I can’t believe you’re this pissed over something so trivial. I hope you never get a _real_ reason to be mad. It might give you a fucking heart attack. Ya mook. ---

I’m not going away. But, i will probably get around to fixing my computer. And no I won’t be posting 24 hours a day. It’s jut that there will be some actuall stuff to do at work, and I will be working during the day, instead of sitting here and posting all the time. I’ll stll post occassionally. But, I’m going to try and get it down to a 6.66 post per day ratio. And as a side note, Nen is just bitter because I have cooler plugs than he does. 😛 ---

**FreakFreely** , chill out. I don’t have a beef with **oldscratch** ; in fact, we have a bit of comraderie being fellow pierced people. **Tymp** and I were having a discussion about the Dope the other day and we simultaneously noted that the dear fellow in question just had his evil post party last week. It just seemed funny that he happened to be over a grand already. In that light, perhaps **ReservoirDog** will realize that I don’t tabulate everyone’s posting ratios. One last thing: **oldscratch** , your plugs may be bigger, but they aren’t better. 😛 ---

Oh. I think some would disagree with that. I’ve got 5 sets of plugs and two sets of rings. so 😛 And it’s nice to see so many people talking about me outside of the board. 😃 makes me feel all warm and snuggly inside. ---

My gerbil? Oh no sir, you are mistaken. That is a [Capybara](http://www.rebsig.com/capybara/) ---

Well, I generally think beastiality isn’t quite right, but if that’s a Capybara, I’ve definitely got to give you a bit of respect. Perhaps you can use that for your new sig. “I feel warm and fuzzy inside.” “Um, that’s your gerbil.” “No, that’s my Capybara!” ---

While I’d ordinarily be happy to let you go on with this delusion of yours, I feel compelled to inform you that the discussion I had with **Nen** was more along the lines of “That bastard, **oldscratch**. . .” rather than anything complimentary at all. I, for one, am just pretending to be fond of you. This way, I can more effectively study your habits and behavior making it all the easier for me to eliminate you when the time comes. Damn! Did I just say that out loud? ---
