This may sound like a weird question for me to ask but...Where's Jack Batty been?

In my weird, stream of consciousness-style of browsing the boards, I somehow came across an old thread with Jack Batty in it.

“That’s a name it seems like I haven’t seen in awhile,” I thought.

So I looked at his profile and saw that he hasn’t posted since March 26th. Then, using my finely honed, Batman-like detective skills, I clicked search and it was revealed to me that none of his recent posts said anything about being gone for awhile.

Is it typical for regulars like that to just dissapear off the face of Cecil’s green Earth for 5 or more weeks at a time?

Where are you Jack?!!

Jack’s around. He’s been having connectivity problems at home, and he can’t access the boards at work. But he’s still on god’s green earth. Or the astral plane. One or the other.

(He’s gonna be so amused when he sees this thread, too!)

Jack had a mental breakdown and is currently housed in a nuthouse.

OR

Jack’s been enlisted by the Defense Department to use his deductive reasoning and intuitiveness to find Saddam.
:wink:
[sub]Hey, he can’t see this yet, so might as well run with it.[/sub]

Well, JackBatty has always been one to post in spurts. You may even call him a spurter. A mighty fine spurter, in fact.

He’s got a LiveJournal as well.

Seems like a lot of folks aren’t here or at the UB as much 'cause they’re hanging out at LJ.

What’s his lj? If anyone would be so kind as to name it here or email it to me (if there are privacy issues) I’d really appreciate it. I always liked Jack and regretted not getting around to meeting him when he was still on this coast. I’d love to read his lj and see how he’s doing.

Who?

Posting from the library?

:eek:

Bingo.

Yes, I’m still alive and well. I move off to a new apartment in Portland, ME. And I have no internet access at home. My roommate doesn’t even own a computer.

Freak.

I’m working on it. I’m thinking … 9 - 12 - 15 - 24 - 27 - 32. If those lottery numbers come through for me, I’m all over the DSL, baby.

So anyway, most of my internet time these days is in 60 minute allotments from the public library. And, well, those harrassing letters to Brad Pitt aren’t going to write themselves. There’s only so much a stalker can get done in an hour.

Knowaddamean?

By the way, in case anyone is remotely interested, I’m “amsjb” over at livejournal.com. Come … join the fun.

That must drive you… ummm… never mind.

Not to hijack this thread or anything, but lieu, when are you going to drive up here and rip my clothes off and ravish me? I think I’ve waited long enough, and with this continual stream of smart-ass comments, my desire keeps growing.

And when you’re through, could you give me a hand in the garden?

Whoa, is that scout1222 coming over here to thumb-wrestle me for ya?

:wink:

Ha, I didn’t know that was you. I’ve read plenty of your stuff. Funny. Well, hope you don’t mind if I add you as a friend over there.

happy feet

Saaaay…

Wasn’t he dragged in for the old rubber truncheon workover concerning that arsenic-in-the-church-coffee incident?
No?
Very well, carry on.

Curious…how often has this line worked for you? Is that all there is to it?

So far, it hasn’t worked at all.

I was hoping to at least get some garden weeding out of it, but that doesn’t seem to be panning out either.

So, is the garden weeding payment for the ravishing? Or vice-versa?

Aren’t you supposed to shampoo with Rid first?

Oh, you meant actual weeding in an actual garden. Carry on.
