I know we haven’t had a midnight movie in a couple weeks and I promise next Friday to screen the long-awaited “Fugitive Girls,” but I’ve got a big weekend lined up with plans at night and a ton of shit to do each day, so tonight’s going to be a bit of a quickity, blickity blog.
I’ve been on Twitter for a couple years now, but never really got into it until the last couple weeks. Now I’m having a lot of fun on there and wasting way too much time on it. I always promote my blog on there, but I also try to put some funny stuff on there. And it’s a real challenge because you’ve only got 140 characters to work with. And so now, I present, some of my favorite tweets. (Note: When you see the @symbol and someone else’s Twitter name, that means I’m responding to their tweet, the # symbol is called a hashtag and it’s a reference as to what you’re tweeting about.)
Further reading and watching: Time, NY Times, HubSpot and Marketing Pilgrim.

Annoying Twitterizations: (haters are gonna hate)
1. Some guy I don't follow tweeted OBL might be dead dead 50 minutes before Obama. (I saw it on TV a day after it happened)
2. Some guy tweeted about the SEAL helicopters in Pakistan as it happened. (I saw it on TV a couple of days after it happened)
3. In Libya and Egypt, Twitter (and Facebook) accounts for people I don't follow were used to bypass a media blockade. There is even some Egyptian who named his kid Facebook. (I saw it on TV a week after it happened)
Therefore all non-social media is obsolete and irrelevant. (I saw that on TV story too. The story discussed events that happened a week to two months beforehand.)
P.S. What? There's a tattoo above your ass? Is it Gumby related?
My faovortie tweet of yours: the cap in the ass! Fave Sheilia tweet: the masturbation one! LMAO! I need to get on Twitter now!
I don't get Twitter .... I draw the line there ... it doesn't make much sense to me ..... I don't care about people's mindless 140 characters of crapola ...
@GENE: I agree,,,I don't get twitter either. Why not find something useful in life rather than waste it telling the world all this mindless bullshit. @MAD: I know lot's of people use twitter, just not for me.
LOL
Quit tempting me to get on twitter! I spend enough time online as is. Beautiful NightCap song. Not what I would have expected.
@csp: You should throw your TV out the window and just get all your information off Twitter!
@Barfly: Sheila Mac cracks me up! I get a laugh from her everyday.
@GENE: To each their own, I have fun on there.
@Al: Mindless bullshit needs to be said from time to time as far as I'm concerned! There's not enough silly in the world. To me being silly = useful.
@JHwang: Glad you got a chuckle out of this!
@kari: That's a great version of Maps. I love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs!
Marty...I share your love of children (God knows, you've heard me bitching about the little sawed off ill-mannered, out-of-control hillbillies running around loose in my neighborhood) and if I'm ever accepted as a contestant - aspiring chef on 'Hell's Kitchen, leave it to me to come up with an entree gauranteed to leave Chef Gordon Ramsay apoplectic for the first time in his life.
@MAD: Maybe you're right, I guess the revolution will not be televised, but it might be a tad inane.
@Jaws: I would love to see that episode! If it happens, I'll put up a tweet about it!
@csp: I think the revolution will be a Tad Friend. http://twe.ly/I3kb
The revolution might be televised, but everyone will be too busy texting to notice. Sheila's funny.
@Biff: Sheila's hilarious! I think that the revolution will be streamed live on NetFlix. With no surcharge! I love NetFlix, they're revolutionary.
I won $521 on the Kentucky Derby today !

congrats goes out to GENE...raisin' a toast to you...damn i thought i was the only person in the universe that doesn't tweet...mainly because there not enough time in the day...but like MAD says to each his own...
I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce.

@GENE: Holy shitballs! Drinks are on GENE! Come to NYC and spend some of it!
@rr: Yes, to each their own! And I bet J. Edgar Hoover was wearing a dress when he said that!

@GENE: It takes a Big Man to buy a Tall Boy.

@GENE: Looking forward to it, as always!
