It’s better than “100K in a month”. I found it and posted it to twitter 2 days ago:

He had around 17K followers then. That’s 83K new in less than 2 days.

Only makes sense if you imagine him with an Italian accent. Pretty funny.

Justin inspired me to put my amusing texts from my boyfriend online. I never really got into Twitter before.
