Very, very down and depressed.

See, it's like this.

That True Dough guy has some music thread in the lounge that has something like 2 billion views.

This is making me seethe with jealousy and feelings of inadequacy. So what I would like to do in this thread is to see if I can get AT LEAST 10 responses to my piddly little OP here. I don't care how long it takes...at least 10 responses would help me ease my jealousy. Of course, if you would be so kind as to get this thread up to 30 billion views like True Dough has, that would be fantastic, and I would probably never feel inadequate about anything ever again.

Now, in order to keep things simple, I would like all responses to be some variant of "That's very interesting, Lucky". I'm not going to be very picky about the exact wording of your response...you can say things like:

That's very interesting, Lucky.

Wow, Lucky. That's really interesting.

Wow! That's fucking interesting Lucky!

Holy shit, Lucky! That's really interesting!

Again, I only need 10 responses to feel better about this whole thing. But, if you can get me up to 45 billion responses, like True Dough has, that would be really interesting.

Thank you in advance.
